Emerald Publishing Limited Strategic Leadership Models and Theories: Indian Perspectives

Product Description Operating in one of the fastest growing economies in the world, Indian business organizations are constantly faced with new challenges. The demands of globalization and the potential disruption of evolving technologies can make effective management difficult. Leadership theories in a business context have been developed mostly by researchers in the West, and very few attempts have been made to theoretically analyse Indian leadership practices. This book explores the idea of an India-centric leadership model, presenting an in-depth research study of strategic leadership theories and applying them to India's unique culture. Using the input of top level Indian business leaders, this book provides a much needed perspective in today's global economy. As one of the first monographs to comprehensively explore Indian leadership practices from an Indian perspective, this book will be of interest to business leaders, researchers and students alike. Review Researchers at the National Institute of Industrial Engineering compare Western strategic leadership theories and models with Indian leadership practices and the process of strategic leadership development in India. Interviews with 26 Indian business leaders reveal a preference for mobility, innovation, technology savviness, learning, boundary-less leadership practices, participation, and inclusiveness. The authors propose two micro-foundation-based models of strategic leadership that encourage leadership-induced creativity and innovation and leadership-induced change. -- Annotation ©2018 ― (protoview.com) About the Author Som Sekhar Bhattacharyya, Professor, is a member of the faculty of Strategic Management at the National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE) in Mumbai, India.
