The Way to the India Way
Synopsis
While European and American enterprise enjoyed more than two centuries of political sovereignty and business independence, India's commercial growth was shackled by foreign rule and, in the wake of independence in 1947, stifling government control and regulation. In this chapter, authors Peter Cappelli, Harbir Singh, Jitendra Singh, and Michael Useem describe in vivid detail how India's sweeping economic reforms, introduced in 1991, dramatically altered the business landscape and allowed the emergence of a distinctive "India Way" of doing business. Now, nearly two decades after the 1991 reforms, the most lasting impact may well be in business leadership itself, as those who preside over India's largest and most successful enterprises rise above their own business interests to drive an agenda for economic and social change on a nationwide scale. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 2 of The India Way: How India's Top Business Leaders Are Revolutionizing Management.
