Entrepreneurship Development And Production Management

Due to sudden increase in population and the industrial growth not matching with the first rate has opened a loud gate for self employment. Self employment requires the knowledge of marketing, selling techniques, induction management, human resource development, personnel management, quality conciseness and trend awareness. All these give rise to design a course on "Entrepreneurship Development and Production Management" his course is taught at under graduate level at Gujarat and some of the African Universities. However, the course ias put its sound footing while opting for management degrees at various level. The course is offered at B.E., B.tech., BBA, MBA level, hence attempt has been made to write a book which takes care of Engg./Technology and Business Administration at one place which is the result of four decades of continuous interaction with faculty and students in offering the subject. Chapters have been so designed that those who are dealing with entrepreneurship development should concentrate on first half and remaining half takes care of production management, a course offered at final year B.E./B. Tech./ of Chemical & Mechanical Engineering at various universities. Practically, no book of this type is available in the market written by an Indian Author. However, there are many books by foreign authors. Some topics viz. Total Quality Control, Optimization Techniques have been introduced for the first time to give students a feeling of the subject and to enhance their practical knowledge to use these techniques in their practical circumstances. To make the book more lucrative, five practical and industrial 'Case Studies' have been discussed in detail. To grasp the depth of the subject a 'questionnaire' has been added. It is hoped that the book will be loved by students, teaching faculties and research workers..

Fracturing Indian Power Sector

The Power Sector in India is a vital element in the national strategy of growth. Its performance, however, has often caused concern. These case studies have provided interesting insights into the working of the Power Sector functionaries, and the findings challenge many of the stereotype views held about the Power Sector, viz., that it is over-staffed, that its employees are themselves the biggest threat for professionally managing the establishment, or that it is destined to sick. Several hypotheses formulated before the field work began have been supported. The study has unearthed impressive evidence that Power Sector functionaries can be managed effectively, and that effective professional management can, despite adverse circumstances, yield large dividends. These studies have also thrown up a number of interesting and important serendipitous models, notably the way the top ranking officers and also the senior and middle level managers can work at their added value level, the way control can be established at various levels of hierarchy, the way the personnel working at various ranks and files can be motivated for better performance, the way to judge about own strengths and weaknesses, the way to evolve responsible behaviour at work, the way the group and the team can be professionally managed, and finally the way to step in to corporate for better performance at each and every level and making the organization profitable..

How Innovators Connect

Some say it's all about the idea. Some categorize it as an invention. Others question the validity of an innovation that is based on imitation. Irrespective of the view one may take, we can all agree that Innovation is paramount to our existence. Without, it we would be living rather stagnant lives. How Innovators Connect is an attempt to showcase Innovation through the experiences of about 40 successful innovators in Silicon Valley and India. The result of the various conversations was a resounding confirmation that the process of innovation demands connectivity, and cannot be performed in a vacuum. The authors discovered that each of the successful innovators shared connectivity traits, and, although they all had different approaches, there were a common set of principles shared by everyone.

Fundamentals Of Atomic & Molecular Spectroscopy

"There are lot of books on subjects like Atomic and molecular physics available in the International and national market; but the question remains why another book on the same subject? The reason for this is though large availability of books; but books specially prepared taking into account the specific background of students and curricula in our country. In addition, a book containing the hard concepts of subject made lucid to suite a common student for understanding the core subject is very important. Therefore, an attempt in this direction is made in this book. The rigorous efforts and 15 years of experience in this subject are put forward in this book. The book has grown out of a course of 60 lectures on Atomic and molecular physics delivered in colleges and universities of Maharashtra. The outline of course followed the standard graduate and post-graduate syllabi of most of the Indian universities. It may not be out of place to say a few words about the new features of this book compared to the other standard books. The book is divided into six chapters (with one supplementary chapter) consisting all the fundamentals of atomic and molecular physics. It includes up-to-date solved problems useful for preparation of competitive exams like NET, SLETS, GATE, etc. An idea about the eminent personalities is added to get an insight about their contribution and dedication towards this subject. Uptill now ""Introduction to atomic spectra- H, E. White and Molecular structure and spectra (both volumes)- G. Herzberg"", were two standard and widely accepted books by the mass. However, we thought that why not combine these two subjects and make one, so that students are not forced to buy two books. Hope, that the students find this book useful."
