Discrimination
at Workplace -- GRK Murty
Globalization
appears to have become inevitable, which means we need to
relearn the craft of doing business. The hitherto insulated
Indian corporates have to now learn how to compete with global
players. It would be an altogether new game plan: newer technologies,
quality and price driven product differentiation, and constant
innovation in product development. In this schema what matters
the most is human resources. We have to realign our human
resources with the newfound demands under globalization and
that is what this article examines.

Reverse
Discrimination -- Sumati Reddy
The
term `discrimination' would, for many of us, be sufficient
to signify adverse treatment in any context. However, it is
not unusual for some to argue their case as `reverse discrimination.'
For others, this seemingly new term lacks relevance. Nevertheless,
many high profile national and international famous court
cases have discharged judgements in favor of those filing
against reverse discrimination. This fact makes it imperative
to become conversant and aware of the usage and implications
of reverse discrimination for employers. The term, although
very significant in the employment context, is also used in
other contextssuch as institutional discrimination (including
educational institutions), international politics, liberalization,
and globalization.

Leadership
Jim
Collins on Level 5 Leadership -- B Sumalata
During
an extensive research to discover the type of leadership required
to turn a good organization into a great one, Jim Collins
coined a new term in the philosophy of leadership -- `Level
5 Leadership'. A Level 5 Leader is a paradoxical blend of
personal humility and professional will. Level 5 leadership
is a study in duality -- modest and wilful, shy and fearless.This
article is basically drawn from Jim Collin's work, Good to
Great -- Why Some Companies Make the Leapand others Don't.
