Despite many creative ideas from dedicated leaders, we remain a very poor country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is little manufacturing, a stumbling agriculture, and around 300 million or so people with limited access to food, none to electricity and practically none to health and education. The primary reason for this is poor implementation of good ideas and policies. Effective implementation requires an understanding of the environment (political, social and economic), institutions and how they work, clear output targets, and systems to monitor, implement and change course when necessary. This is what good management is all about. India has not lacked in ideas for improving the economy and the society, but in managing them. The book looks at the context and suggests actions in different areas to improve the management of India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"morecontent\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d_normalheder\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d_normalheder\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the Author(s) \/ Editor(s)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eS.L Rao\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehas spent 33 years in senior positions in multinational companies (HUL, Warner Lambert and Beardsell) and as independent management consultant.
