20 Brilliant Thinkers Who Are Changing India

Twenty zealous Indians. Twenty path-breaking innovations. One common vision!

Indian Innovators traces the journey of 20 dynamic individuals who have created cutting-edge products with global mass appeal. Each innovator comes from a diverse background - from those who hold PhDs to those who have had no formal education! Despite this difference, what unites them are their passion for innovation, the grit with which they have fought adversities and their vision for a better world.

Each story celebrates the triumphant spirit of these determined individuals in a society that places little incentive on innovation. These innovators have resolved to break the status quo in the Indian innovation landscape!

Akshat Agarwal holds a degree in mechanical engineering from IIT-Delhi and an MBA from the United States. During his IIT days, he was engaged in the design and fabrication of an artificial knee joint for above-the-knee amputees. Akshat is currently a Director at Alpha Beta Classes, an innovative start-up in online and offline education that aims to improve access to quality education for millions in India.

Members Reviews:

Recommend it.

Indian Innovators is an inspiring 3 hour read. The book is organized into 20 short chapters. Each of one is a case ctudy cum short biographical sketch of an innovator and his innovation. It takes you through a journey through inspriration, obstacles, distress, persistence and euphoria of 20 lives. The book changed my worldview of India and Innovation in its own way. Through its short stories, it changes the outlook of debate weather Indians are good innovators or bad.

Must read for all Indians! Very enjoyble

Loved the book! Written in simple clear way! Enjoyed by all from 13 to 85 in our house! Was a real eye opener! D

Had not heard of 50% of the inventions, especially that those inventions were Indian! Kludoes to the writer, Akshat! Proud to a Indian!,

Title: Toyota: Understanding the Key to Success

Author: Toyota Lean JIT - editor, María Daniela Pascual

Narrator: Dennis McAtee

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-01-17

Publisher: UNITEXTO LLC

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Toyota is recognized as a successful car manufacturer based on its production and cost-reduction systems. When analyzed in depth, the company's evolution is astonishing.

The effect of the Lean Philosophy and its fundamental principles on Toyota's organizational systemic model is analyzed from an economic perspective. This study covers both the positive effects generated by the Toyota model at its three organizational structure levels and the collateral negative effects generated by the company's corporate strategy.

The conjunction of these effects gives rise to an integral transaction cost reduction with positive economic effects, a fact not sufficiently recognized by those who believe Toyota's success is simply the result of inventory control using the successful JIT system.

Research and analysis of the Toyota case have been plentiful in many fields as diverse as production, marketing, business planning, and knowledge management. The company's work methods, its results, and the adverse conditions from which it has emerged so many times over its 75-year history have drawn the attention of researchers and businessmen.

At Toyota something is wrong when workers do not look around every day, notice tedious or boring things, and then redesign the processes. Even the latest monthly manual could be out-of-date.

Toyota's incredible success is a source for inspiration for many business leaders around the world.

Be you one of them!

Pointless. Worth less than Free

Shallow and lacking the basic principles.

Of no value at all. The preview appears to purposely temp you to buy hoping to gain some insight. Explanations are worse than anything you can find on the web for free.

Title: The Culture Solution

Subtitle: How to Achieve Cultural Synergy and Get Results in the Global Workplace

Author: Deirdre Mendez

Narrator: Patricia Rodriguez

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 59 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-10-17

Publisher: Nicholas Brealey Publishing

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

The businesspersons' toolkit to get from zero to global.

In today's global business reality, the ability to work across cultures is key to teamwork and productivity. The Culture Solution is the book to provide businesspeople with a step-by-step system to manage and recognise for themselves the cultural factors that affect international relationships and global partnerships.

Using the new method of Cultural Analysis created by Deirdre Mendez, international managers can solve problems and create cultural synergies that produce the most productive international teams, projects and alliances.

Members Reviews:

Excellent book. Practical and focused strategies for accomplishing business goals in a multicultural environment.

The Culture Solution offers a framework for understanding the ways that our cultures influence our ability to cooperate, negotiate, and participate in international teams. Taking the reader beyond popular national stereotypes, The Culture Solution provides strategies for the individual to first become aware of personal cultural traits, discover and analyze the traits of your counterparts, and then explains how these traits may interact to favor or limit your objectives. With this basis you are guided toward strategies that will minimize conflict and maximize chances for success. The Culture Solution addresses typical business challenges; mergers, negotiations, hiring, joint ventures and contracts to help you understand your counterpart's view of the process and evaluation of the outcome. It will help you anticipate differences and plan strategies to minimize needless conflict.

In 30 years experience with multicultural teams in Europe and Asia as a contributor, manager, negotiator, partner, seller and buyer I have seen a real need for a means to avoid rather than repair cultural mis-steps and conflict. The Cultural Solution has valuable things to say in each of these situations. If you are a part of or, particularly, if you are charged with forming an international team, this book will help you achieve your business goals.

Additional valuable exercises and resources can be found at the author's website.

Ultimate "How To" guide for working with culture in a global workspace

Deirdre Mendez has written the ultimate book on culture that we all need to have on our shelf for a reference guide in 2017! The book does not have to be read cover to cover to be beneficial. It has great value "as needed" with individual chapters. I have had the pleasure of knowing Deirdre for 20 years and seeing how she worked with different cultures when I worked with my client JETRO - Japan's External Trade Organization as their Ambassador for 3 years in Texas. She has not just written this great "How To" but she also embodies her knowledge in how she works with clients and others every day. She definitely walks her talk!

The Culture Solution: How to Achieve Cultural Synergy and Get Results in the Global Workplace

Excellent new resource for anyone hoping to sharpen their effectiveness in intercultural interactions!

This book is extremely useful for both the business traveler hoping to be successful with colleagues or clients overseas and college students embarking on their first study abroad adventure or participating in a culturally diverse classroom.

Release date: 07-21-17

Publisher: Our Ripple Effect, Inc.

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Have you ever wondered how some doctors are making millions, working less hours, and have the most supportive and devoted teams, all while having incredible family relationships? Do you find yourself thinking more about dealing with a difficult staff member than you do on your patients? Are you ever frustrated with the fact that your formal education never actually taught you what it takes to run a successful business? Do you want to make changes in your practice and your life but you just don't know where to start?

Like most doctors, you are great at what you do - providing high-level care for your patients with a passion for your profession. The challenge comes when dealing with the stress of patient cooperation, employee drama and the responsibility of running a successful practice. You become overworked, burnt out, and frustrated. According to the American Psychiatric Association, private practice owners have one of the most stressful occupations in the world. Why? Trying to balance the needs of you, your business, your patients and your family can be overwhelming for most professionals. The good news? Now, you don't have to be another statistic.

Practice Rx is the "secret" for turning your practice into a thriving, fulfilling, and wildly profitable business by focusing on your relationships first! It's the business and life balance education no one ever taught you. It is the "how-to" guide in transforming your business into your vision! (If you struggle with articulating your vision, this book will help you with that as well). This unique approach to your entire business will revolutionize the way you see you, your team, and your practice. This book delivers personal and first-hand accounts of the struggles and obstacles professionals just like you experience every day. Most importantly, it provides the cure for those challenges.

Some personal insights into this author

I didn't purchase this book, I "won" it as a give-away at a conference in Anaheim where Dino Watt was speaking, along with an in-person visit. I skimmed it and found parts of it potentially very useful and so took him up on his offer and flew Dino up to meet with me and my team. We had a meeting where he shared some good insights into my profession and our business. He then proceeded to pitch me to the tune of $120,000/year for his consulting services. Needless to say, I had to think about that! Lol. It was surprising, to say the least.

The biggest surprise, however, came a few weeks later when I got invoiced for his expenses, including first-class airfare (for a regional flight) and a two day luxury car rental that totaled well into four figures. Really Dino? REALLY? Is this the person that I'd want helping me manage my practice in a fiscally responsible way? Absolutely not. What did you rent, a Ferrari? GOOD LORD!

It could have been worse though. I could have paid $120,000 and THEN found out the character of the person with whom I had partnered. Buy his book if you must, but I highly caution you about buying into Dino.

Excellent advice!

This book provided the excellent advice we needed, being new married owners of an orthodontic practice. Recommended by Dr. Law at 2016 AAO, we are so glad to have had the opportunity to engage with such little known wisdom of business ownership.

Title: Reinventing Talent Management

Subtitle: Principles and Practices for the New World of Work

Author: Edward E. Lawler

Narrator: Wayne Shepherd

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 37 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-03-17

Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Edward Lawler is one of the world's most eminent organizational scholars. In this new book he identifies a comprehensive and integrated set of talent management practices that fit today's rapidly evolving workplace.

The world of work has changed dramatically, says Lawler. Organizations now operate in a global environment. New technologies continue to disrupt how, when, and where work is done and should be managed. The workforce is becoming more diverse. Sustainability has joined profitability as a key business goal. All of this has dramatically accelerated the pace of change, making recruiting the best talent - not simply filling positions - an overriding concern.

But too many organizations still use a job-based, bureaucratic talent-management approach that doesn't take into account how the world has changed. Indeed, a recent study showed that from 1995 to 2016, there was no significant change in the way HR spends its time.

Lawler says that talent management has to be reinvented. It needs to be closely linked to the organization's overall strategy. Recruitment and talent management should be driven by the skills and competencies the organization needs for long-term growth. This means talent management requires agile systems that can respond quickly to changing conditions and that take a more individualized approach to evaluating and rewarding performance. And everything talent management does has to be based on evidence, not tradition.

Lawler looks at attracting, selecting, developing, rewarding, managing, and organizing talent through this new lens. In today's world, organizations have to constantly reinvent themselves - and talent management must do the same.

Nothing but a string of business clichés

I gave up on this book 3 chapters in. It was circular logic of vague words and no real applicable lessons or new information. Im not sure what is being reinvented here.
