Price: Rs 525
Your workforce is the key to growth in the 21st century – that’s message that Lowell Bryan and Claudia Joyce of McKinsey send out in their joint work ‘Mobilizing Minds.’
According to them, by tapping into underutilized talents, knowledge and skills, businesses can substantially increase net income per employee and manage the interdepartmental complexities and barriers that prevent greater achievement and profits. However, unlocking this value requires organizational design and redesign. The core message of the book is that corporations must put the same energy used to launch new products and processes into their organizational design efforts because that’s where the opportunities lie.
 Release 2.0: The Bangalore Imperative
By Anil Goel
Undercover Utopia
Price: Rs 299
India giving the West a taste of its own medicine - you would have encountered this first on the silver screen, where Made in USA villains with British accent got beaten to pulp or shot all over for wrongs, past and present. For a book version, you could take a chance and skim through Release 2.0: The Bangalore Imperative which stars India’s IT industry. The story is about a few ‘good’ industry men (never mind they minted their fortunes by taking a cut of the labor of software coolies) who set out to ensure that when the West pulls the rug out of IT industry’s feet, it is still left standing tall. But the plot’s potential is laid to waste by pathetic structure and poor proofing.
