"After more than fifty years of our independence we have reached a definitive phase in our industrial development that calls for a historical perspective. The book provides it.

Fifty years ago the book was first of its kind containing the results of the field research in Indian industries that documented the then management conditions. Fifty years later this second edition still contains a gold-mine of information of startling contemporary applicability and the reasons why some of the Indian industries have succeeded." (jacket)
