Ram Ke Path Par – Vikrant Pande, PGP 2002
About the Book
Vikrant Pande and Neelesh Kulkarni’s quest to retrace the trail of Rama’s fabled travels during his years in exile began with their trying to locate Chitrakoot on the map and realizing that they had little idea where it might be. Curious about the places mentioned in the Ramayana, they set off on a journey of their own, following Rama’s route from Ayodhya to the Dandakaranya forest and Panchavati (near Nashik) and on to Kishkindhya (close to Hampi), Rameshwaram and Sri Lanka. Along the way they would discover how closely the narrative of the Ramayana is linked to local folklore, and how the stories of the Ramayana and the moral framework that binds them together still speaks to the people who live in the land across which Rama, Sita and Lakshman made their journey. For the armchair traveller as well as the enthusiast for epic tales, this is a wonderful book with which to revisit the world of the Ramayana.

Business Strategy Demystified: A Practitioner’s Guide – Rohit Chaturvedi, PGP 2003
About the Book
In today’s dynamic business landscape, where uncertainty is the only constant, staying ahead of the competition demands a deep understanding of the external and internal forces shaping companies. From navigating market opportunities and threats to deciphering economic fluctuations, environmental changes, and their financial ramifications, business leaders must analyse a wide array of inputs and make sense for the betterment of their businesses. A well-thought-out strategy provides a very solid framework to reduce the amount of noise and it also removes the wheat from chafe. However, strategy as a subject has become pedantic and there is a lack of suitable literature for practitioners that can help them appreciate the impact of strategy for their organisation.
To fill the gap, “Sensing Business” offers a valuable resource for business leaders, startup founders, students of business strategy, and management consultants. This book, devoid of jargon and complexity, delves into the core principles of business strategy, providing practical insights that bridge the gap between theory and real-world application.
The book’s approach is practical and action-oriented. It draws from academic concepts and extensive research but distils them into actionable frameworks. The easy-to-understand language allows readers to analyse businesses effectively and formulate strategies with confidence.
Key features
Clarity on Strategy: Chapter 1 sets the stage by defining strategy and distinguishing it from mere planning or tactics. It also outlines the strategic formulation process, emphasizing its significance.
Three Key Sections: The book is structured
into three vital sections, each corresponding to a step in the strategy development and implementation process:
- Strategic Analysis (Chapters 2-11): This section provides a systematic approach to external and internal strategic analysis.
- Strategy Formulation (Chapters 12-24): It covers the formulation of overall and functional area strategies, including the concept of “Strategic Thrust.”
- Strategy Implementation (Chapters 25-27): While not a detailed discussion, it offers tools and considerations for practitioners in the implementation process.
This book is designed to serve as a practical handbook for professionals, offering structured guidance on strategic thinking and decision-making. It provides a toolkit for systematically assessing external factors, internal resources, and competencies, developing strategic visions, and making well-informed choices aligned with that vision.
“Sensing Business” is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but it equips readers with a set of versatile tools and resources to navigate the complexities of business strategy effectively. It’s a compass in the turbulent sea of business, guiding leaders to sense new markets, anticipate economic shifts, harness internal strengths, and drive growth and success.
We believe this book will be a valuable asset to anyone looking to enhance their organization’s performance and rise above the competition. Your journey to strategic excellence begins here.
