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..
