"The concept of management, its philosophy, principles, and its different specializations have been researched and explored for developing, adopting, and practicing the best management approach for meeting challenges and successes of organizations in 21st century. The study of Strategic Management theories, principles, and concepts is common in the area of business and management but this book is having a distinction in linking it with Spiritual Philosophy, in the light of ancient Indian classical wisdom, with special reference to the popular legends of Shri Vishnu Dashavatara. This book has successfully articulated the significance and connect between the traditions of societies and cultures around the world... We are very grateful to Dr. Aparna for her sincere efforts and for contributing academic and research fraternity by making this book available."
