This volume is based on the author's experiences as a chief executive officer (CEO) at the Bank of Baroda and his research findings of almost five decades (mid-1950s to 2000) on several CEO's strategies in industrial relations (IR) across organizations. The study underlines the need for an effective integration of industrial relations and human resource (HR) development to achieve positive business outcomes. Using personal interviews and archival material, Khandelwal examines the evolution of IR strategies in the context of changing environmental and organizational factors and its impact on the relations between the management and trade unions within the bank over an extended period of time. He submits it is crucial that employees are engaged and formal institutional mechanisms instituted to deal with the concerns of employees as well as of trade unions as a whole in order to transform the paradigm of employee relations from a narrow, union-focused perspective to a broader approach of empowering operating managers. Such a paradigm shift could, this work asserts, pave the way for significant changes, such as the introduction of new technology, customer-centric initiatives, new HR initiatives and rebranding with dramatic business outcomes within a short period of time.

Take a critical view of the institutions that affect our everyday lives with this extended essay. The most important of these is the modern-day corporation, which continues to resist social control despite an ability to adapt to the environment like no other entity in human history.

Corporations continue to explode with power, and religious, educational, and governmental organizations are looking to them as examples. An increasing number of entities are learning how to conduct themselves by looking at their corporate counterparts, and, as a result, they're no longer fulfilling their true purposes.

Author Francis X. Healy Jr. examines the implications of these disturbing developments. Discover why institutions continue to miss expectations, why society suffers as a result of corporate models, and how money and power interact in problematic ways.

The pursuit of money and power is stifling the true purposes of institutions with honorable objectives. Many groups that once carried at least a facade of being above it all are now stuck in the moneypower continuum; if something doesn't change soon, the consequences will be devastating.
