"Srinivasan has bridged the 'notional' divide between ancient Indian wisdom and current management thinking," said N.R. Narayanamurthy, Chairman at Infosys Technologies. "The convergence of current management thought with ancient Indian wisdom leads one to believe that while the competitive landscape changes incessantly, the primary ingredients for lasting success fundamentally remain the same. In this context, the book effectively seeds ideas for 'Corporate Introspection' and associated action that lead to effective learning," added Narayanamurthy.
