A Failure's Reminiscence: Lessons from A Lifetime of Management Blunders Narendra Kv

A long global career managing companies gives one chances to commit mistakes. The mistakes magnify when one changes industries every five years. Every new opportunity brings newer risks and presents greater chances to fail. As one moves on, there will be ample chance to analyze every blunder. Just because a fad becomes an industry norm for some time does not mean that the impact of its failure will lessen.

This book is a contrarian viewpoint on many industry best practices in different areas of management. The author shares a different perspective on corporate practices from hiring to intellectual property management to sales & marketing to even succession planning. The author has written about his experiences and management failures on 49 different subjects.

This book is directed at serious practitioners of management, academicians, and business students. Each chapter is independent of another.

The Preface to this book is written by management thinker, venture capitalist and Ex - CFO, Infosys, Mr. Venkataraman Balakrishnan
