This book is dedicated to the memory of Ranjan Acharya, former Senior Corporate Vice President, HRD at Wipro. Being People features Ranjan Acharya and five other HR professionals who, in a young independent India, humanised workplaces with their courage, candour and consistent calling to ethical service. Unfolding these profiles in a life-history like format, the author, Joseph George A, traces their antecedents and defining choices in socio-psychological frames. The other five HR professionals are George Menezes, Aroon Joshi,George Kunnath, Vivek Patwardhan and Dr. Pallab Bandhopadhyay. Being People goes beyond unearthing the journeys these unique achievers have taken since their childhood. In the familial backdrop of Indian society, these accounts speak to the quintessential potential of common citizens who wish to make a mark on human relations at the workplace. An alternate timeline to the history of the profession in India, the book serves students, academics and professionals with rare insights into the distinguishing characteristics of these prolific HR leaders.

BRIDGING THE CHASM BETWEEN THEORY AND PRACTICE
Vertical Distinct
The two worlds of academia and practice, although related and interdependent, often assume very distinctive characteristics. Their lexicon and purposes are very different and have been influenced by different sets of institutional norms and how ‘success’ and ‘performance’ is measured. In this paper, the authors provide a reflective account of their experiences of putting together a collection that attempts to bridge the gap between the widely debated issue of academic rigour and practice…
The two worlds of academia and practice, although related and interdependent, often assume very distinctive characteristics. Their lexicon and purposes are very different and have been influenced by different sets of institutional norms and how ‘success’ and ‘performance’ is measured. In this paper, the authors provide a reflective account of their experiences of putting together a collection that attempts to bridge the gap between the widely debated issue of academic rigour and practice relevance of academic research. We do this using the learning from a recently edited collection that integrates academic and practitioner voices in the context of the Indian IT industry as it attempted to satisfy utility and generalisability demands.

Innovation Championship - Agency and Advocacy in Indian organizational context
TISS
India’s progress as a nation since its economic liberalization of the 1990s has been noted in several forums. While a lot has been attributed to ingenious resourcefulness in India’s resource strapped society (jugaad), systemic features of innovation within organizations in India have been less attended to. The paper here examines the usefulness of understanding linkages between individual variables on the one hand, and group level variables on the other that most affect innovative behaviors…
India’s progress as a nation since its economic liberalization of the 1990s has been noted in several forums. While a lot has been attributed to ingenious resourcefulness in India’s resource strapped society (jugaad), systemic features of innovation within organizations in India have been less attended to. The paper here examines the usefulness of understanding linkages between individual variables on the one hand, and group level variables on the other that most affect innovative behaviors. The case for identifying ‘innovation champions’ distinct from ‘champions of innovation’ are one such feature of organizational dynamics.
Inverting as it were the neurological levels of learning, the authors trace individual behaviors in the Indian organizational context in a culturally relative frame. Learning patterns may lend a conformist or non-conformist identity and related goal seeking behavior in organizational systems. The tolerance for alternate thinking that may aid innovation is viewed accordingly. Notions of performative efficacy and innovative gestation are context-sensitive paradoxes to overcome in a high-power distance context of India. India’s 64th rank position on the Global Innovation Index 2012 may actually take away from its underlying innovation efficiency. The authors seek to explore reasons for how, for example, the creation of intangibles scores over impact of knowledge and its diffusion in India.
The authors further the exploration to understand if profit oriented deterministic models of market capitalism may differ from socially conscious evolutionary innovations that are likely to be more sustainable. The special emphasis on ecological soundness of innovative contributions is underlined as the sustainability of innovative endeavors.Other authors -

Counter-Point to the Strengths based approach of Marcus Buckingham
People & Strategy
To put it briefly, a blind allegiance to the strengths based approach is likely to produce perceptual errors, just as blind allegiance to objective performance measures will cause its own share of perceptual errors. Human essence is what needs respect. That too in a systems view of organisations.

Process Consulting and Adaptations of Organisation Development in the IT Industry
Routledge
The values of professional practice and the value of economic surplus have been richly explored in literature. In the IT industry’s evolution in India, pragmatism sprung up many ‘firsts’ for managements and employees in the creation of ‘open’ climates and ‘enabling’ workspaces. Employee stock options, liberal pay packages, the five-day workweek and employee friendly benefits such as crèches and gymnasiums became tell-tale signs of the industry. However, with scale-based growth these apparitions…
The values of professional practice and the value of economic surplus have been richly explored in literature. In the IT industry’s evolution in India, pragmatism sprung up many ‘firsts’ for managements and employees in the creation of ‘open’ climates and ‘enabling’ workspaces. Employee stock options, liberal pay packages, the five-day workweek and employee friendly benefits such as crèches and gymnasiums became tell-tale signs of the industry. However, with scale-based growth these apparitions began to be challenged on complexity and strain on role and work relationships. The author draws upon his practitioner insights in facilitating organisational learning and development and treats them through the avowed values of Organisation Development. He uses the lens of covert processes to trace unconscious tendencies that are likely to be stressful to the longevity of the industry and the resilience of its workforce. He traces individual, group and organisation level dilemmas that need tending to in the Indian IT industry’s context.
