This is a warning sign, a symptom of impending disaster for any organization. Shackled, like powerful elephants, to the past, organizations rob themselves of the ingenuity required to meet new competitive challenges and escape the 're' dimension trap of 're-engineering, re-organization and re-structuring that concentrate on short term fixes rather than long term solutions. Teaching the Elephant to Dance is a practical, hands-on guide for creating the right change in any organization, large or small, corporate or governmental, manufacturing or service based. Filled with illuminating case studies, it shows how to devise new corporate visions and strategies. How to overcome inertia.
And how to form labor-management partnerships. Clear, authoritative, practical and inspiring, Teaching the Elephant to Dance provides a step-by-step guide for making the impossible happen.

Making the Elephant Dance provides a roadmap using the levers of business excellence, innovation and globalization by documenting the Tata group’s transformational journey from a $5.8-billion Indian firm in 1992 to a $103-billion global powerhouse in 2014, with over 65 per cent of revenues coming from outside India. Tata is one of the most admired companies in the world. This book explains the sequence of leadership and management interventions that Tata used following the liberalization of the Indian economy in the 1990s to become the largest private-sector employer in both India and the United Kingdom, and acquire iconic brands such as Jaguar Land Rover and Tetley. Sunil Mithas profiles the transformational journey of incumbents such as Tata Steel, Jaguar Land Rover, Tata Consultancy Services, Titan, Indian Hotels, Tata Power and Tata Chemicals to provide a framework for almost any organization to rediscover its potential and charge ahead.
Author by: Tammie MatsonLanguange: enPublisher by: Pan AustraliaFormat Available: PDF, ePub, MobiTotal Read: 69Total Download: 104File Size: 49,6 MbDescription: It's the middle of the night in the Namibian desert when zoologist Tammie Matson wakes with a start to find two elephants standing beside her tiny tent. She makes a promise: 'If you just let me survive tonight I will give up Africa. I'll give it all up. Just don't let them stand on me.' It's not a promise she will easily keep. At 29, Tammie has spent nearly half her life in Africa, her first love, working as a conservationist.
But as her 30s approach, Tammie is conscious of not having ticked those boxes: no house, no kids and no husband. Broke and with her visa running out, it seems like Africa may just force her to give it up after all.
On returning to Australia, Tammie lands a job at the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) in Sydney. There she meets Andy, a charismatic Brit, and Africa suddenly has a rival. But she's not ready to give up on the elephants yet.
From the magic of Bushmanland, to the banks of Chobe River in Botswana, to the civil strife of Assam, India, Elephant Dance takes us to the heart of a conservationist's fight to find a way for elephants to live peacefully in a world with too many people, too few resources and the increasing threat of climate change. Passionate, funny, and moving, Elephant Dance is also a classic story of self-discovery, love, and the courage it takes to follow your calling, especially when it takes you places you least expected.

She staggered, tried to keep going, then nearly fell as a shocking pain rushed up her leg.
Confusion and fear swamped her senses, escape suddenly essential. The tuskless cow turned and hobbled away, each step agonising torture. Her front right knee joint had been shattered by the single copper-jacketed bullet. Man, her hated enemy, had just handed out a death sentence.' As the rangers and staff of a luxury lodge in Etosha National Park, Namibia welcome the last guests of the season, thoughts are predominantly on the three-month break ahead.
Except for Sean, who is fighting his growing attraction for the manager's wife, Thea. Camping in the park nearby, Professor Eben Kruger has his work cut out keeping the attention of the university students in his charge on the behavioural habits of the cunning jackal. None of them could ever be prepared for the horrendous events about to take place. Each will be pushed to breaking point as the quest for survival becomes the only thing that matters. Shocking, gripping, breathtaking. Beverley Harper's outstanding new novel is a guaranteed bestseller.

Author by: Edwin ArdenerLanguange: enPublisher by: Berghahn BooksFormat Available: PDF, ePub, MobiTotal Read: 31Total Download: 602File Size: 41,5 MbDescription: The Bakweri people of Mount Cameroon, an active volcano on the coast of West Africa a few degrees north of the equator, have had a varied and at times exciting history which has brought them into contact, not only with other West African peoples, but with merchants, missionaries, soldiers and administrators from Portugal, Holland, England, Jamaica, Sweden, Germany and more recently France. Edwin Ardener, the distinguished social anthropologist who spoke their language, wrote a number of studies on the culture and history of the Bakweri kingdom. Some unpublished writings, and some published but now out of print materials are here brought together for the first time.
The book covers the early contacts with the Portuguese and Dutch from the seventeenth century, the arrival of the missionaries in the nineteenth century, the dramatic defeat of the first German punitive expedition, the subsequent establishment by the Germans of the plantation system, and the British Trusteeship period until independence in 1961 as part of the Federal Republic of Cameroon.
(This is the first article under ourlaunched yesterday. We are happy that aspirants are responding. Congrats to Prasoon for being the first person to send us his review of a book. We hope others get inspiration and start sending us their articles)Reviewed By – Prasoon KaushikDoes The Elephant Dance –Contemporary Indian Foreign Policy– David M Malone, Oxford University PressPrice:. – (Imported, Indian ed.
Not available).These days when a credit card and e-bay can get you almost anything any place, it is unusual not less, to make half a dozen calls to all leading book stores in Delhi and listen to a polite “no” and travel from Ghaziabad to Connaught Place just to get a copy of an Indian edition of a book, which by all gauges remains most acclaimed but on all e-portals remain unavailable. Finally Jain Book Agency, B-Block, CP had a copy.As a reader who reads any hardened pulp with ink over it, it was quite interesting to learn a Canadian career diplomat penning one of the most acclaimed books on Indian foreign policy. Interesting, first because “the great Indian socialism” even in the hard-headed issues of foreign policy remains an elitist fashion for the Indian intellectuals and a prescription from a diplomat of one of the world’s epitome of capitalism would surely have raised eye brows. And second because David Malone, the author of Does the Elephant Dance?
Contemporary Indian Foreign Policy, then the High Commissioner of Canada to India was not allowed to visit the JNU, New Delhi, on the count that his ideas might adulterate Communism of the campus. Two reasons were enough to fire the belly of those ‘keedas’ in my mind, which in every sense had a sumptuous diet- this book.Foreign policy usually doesn’t interest a non political-science student or one who has no interest in International Relations. But this book begins with a fantastic opening. Beyond all barriers Malone has proved his abilities in understanding of Indian history that has shaped present day India’s external affair intends. But history again is controversial, what one says can be countered by other, at least all that that has no dates.

The author has given sound reasoning, though limited for a serious reader who would expect more of it, for most of the historical facts and transits smoothly from history to modern day arts and science of external affairs. A start without surfing randomly through the book and giving the fact a back seat that this is an IR book may illude one to take this book as a book on history.
The book disapproves this with legitimacy. A description on India from a foreigner has always been fascinating.
Throughout the book I had this idea floating that why some of the best works on India come out from the pens of no sons of the soil. (The Wonder That Was India by A L Basham. The Last Mughal by William Dalrymple.)Trenchantly concluding his words on contemporary security challenges of India in third chapter of the book, the author writes “economic growth alone will not solve all of India’s problems.
