Change is imperative and so is the need for individuals, organizations and societies to cope with changes for survival and sustained growth. At no point in human history has change been so complex and profound as to affect the fundamental core of our being. However, The compulsions of operating within a global economic order have necessitated re-examination of the very purpose of and the ways in which we conduct business. The entire value chain of organizations, from design to delivery, is being subjected to increased uncertainties and hyper competition. Organizations thus have to continuously align their structures, systems, processes and culture with the ever-changing global demands. It is in this context that capability building in cutting edge organizations assumes far greater importance in the new business order. The book, divided into various sections, deals with issues, challenges and trends in various dimensions of capability building such as architecting winning organizations, developing culture of performance excellence, promoting entrepreneurial innovation, creating learning and empowering work culture, shaping transformational leadership, implementing inclusive growth through corporate social responsibility, and managing Gen Y and diversity. A distinguished group of eminent academicians, accomplished practicing executives and acclaimed management experts from India and abroad have contributed to this seminal work, blending together the theoretical formulations and practical insights gained through their vast experience under the aegis of Indian Society for Training and Development and International Management Institute, New Delhi.
