Effective Executives attempting to achieve excellence
in a dynamic and chaotic business environment
-- Prof. Simon L Dolan
This article presents a model of Managing and Coaching by Values (MBV-CBV) as an
important philosophical and practical framework for leaders and executives to use in today's
chaotic business and economic environment. We briefly discuss the evolution of the
management philosophy from Management by Instruction (MBI) to Management by Objectives (MBO),
and finally to Management by Values (MBV). Finally, we propose the concept of Coaching by
Values (CBV) and a set of tools critical for effectively managing a values-based corporate environment.

Rural Opportunities Production Enterprise(ROPE) : Success with Social Entrepreneurship?
-- Vandana Jayakumar, Deepti Srikanth and
Dr. Nagendra V Chowdary

on the other, the Rural Opportunities Production Enterprise (ROPE) has been successful
in bringing income generating opportunities to the disadvantaged rural population. Not
only has ROPE contributed to poverty alleviation in the rural areas, it has also helped
in environment conservation. However, ROPE's scalability, sustainability and profitability in
the long run, are debatable.
