Synopsis:

In industrial societies, the consultative or participatory model of management in the private and public sectors has assumed considerable importance and relevance in recent years. Kuppachi examines the management process and the history of trends in management thinking and practice. This review leads to a clear case in favor of a cooperative approach in working relationships aimed at the direct involvement of and commitment by all within an enterprise to meet competitive challenges both in domestic and international markets. Several case studies and a comprehensive case of a multinational company are discussed to illustrate the impact a properly designed and executed program can achieve. "The result is a book which is fascinating in that it throws remarkable light on the history of consultative approaches to management, and the applicability of these to three-fourths of the world." --Management Learning "The book is an excellent contribution to the understanding of the management of human resources in an organization. . . . The book should be enthusiastically welcomed by managers, management consultants and experts in the area of organizational behavior. The printing and presentation is excellent." --Abhigyan

Review: `Kuppachi adopts a more unusual historical and cross-cultural perspective.... The result is a book which is fascinating in that it throws remarkable light on the history of consultative approaches to management, and the applicability of these to three-fourths of the world... chapters 2 and 4 are worth reading and digesting because they are original, while being based also on a wide-ranging acquaintance with cross-cultural management thinking in the West. Western readers will require some patience in coping with an approach which is unusual, historical and cross-cultural. Those who exercise such patience will find it amply rewarded in these two chapters.′ - Management Learning
