Managerial
effectiveness is predominately culture specific (Sharma, 2001). This means each
country and community need to develop their own system of developing managerial
effectiveness. Recognizing
the important of culture in management practice, this paper attempts to explore
managerial effectiveness from the perspectives of the Bhagavad-Gita. The
Bhagavad-Gita is an ancient Indian spiritual and philosophical text and is more
than 5000 years old. Chinmayananda (2003) asserted that from time to time an ancient
philosophy needs intelligent re-interpretation to apply effectively in the context
of modern times. Based
on text and content analysis of selected verses from the
Bhagavad-Gita, some
relevance of the Bhagavad-Gita in the
development of managerial effectiveness
is explored in this paper.
