	Sumantra Ghoshal: A tribute
		Once Sumantra and Subba were back from school, they spent their evenings in spirited discussions about global events, particularly speculation about the current Indian political scene that was limping back to normalcy after the shattering period of the Emergency in the mid-seventies.
		Sumantra was in charge of marinating and getting the chicken legs done to a fine turn in the oven, while Subba made the masala sauce with the onions, chillies and tomatoes chopped by yours truly.
		Sumantra was already planning simultaneous PhDs from MIT and Harvard and kept trying to persuade Subba to quit the civil service, if necessary, and opt for further academic pursuits.

	CNN.com - Management research mourns Ghoshal - Mar 23, 2004
		Ghoshal, who died following a brain hemorrhage at the age of 55 earlier this month, was best known for developing the concept of the "transnational corporation" in his 1989 book "Managing without Borders," which he co-authored with Harvard professor Christopher Bartlett.
		Ghoshal and Bartlett examined how multinational corporations were being forced to become both more globalized and more localized simultaneously, resulting in a breakdown of traditional corporate hierarchies in favor of a seamless, harmonious international network.
		Taking individual employees as their focus, Ghoshal and Bartlett argued that corporations were getting it wrong because of their adherence to preconceived management theory stereotypes of what a company should be and how employees should behave.

		Ghoshal, who died in 2004 at the early age of 55, argued that putting shareholders’ needs first was based on the outdated notion that they were the risk-takers who made capitalism possible.
		Mind you, Ghoshal was a respected management guru, not a raving Marxist; that said, his words could be the basis of another revolution.
		What I take from what Ghoshal is saying is that employees should start taking their fates in their own hands, that they should be conscious (and hence organized) participants in their economic fate.
