Synopsis This is a pioneering effort in creating an anthology of writings in management by leading practitioners of the profession. The anthology spans a period of over 3 decades. Each text is a unique contribution to the growth of management literature dated at the point of time it was written. (Some of them are valid even today an approach, being demonstrated). The volume put together is an example of longitudinal thinking as produces a rich compendium of history of ideas, as documented through publications in Indian Journal of Training and Development. This is one of the rare volumes which is simultaneously a collectors items and yet of common interest.
