CHANKYA Who Was He?
  BORN IN 4TH CENTURY B.C. in India, Chanakya was also known as
Vishnugupta and Kautilya. Through the centuries, scholars have described
Chanakya as a rare mastermind who became an expert in varied and specialised
fields like management, economics, politics, law, leadership, governance,
warfare, military tactics, accounting systems, and several others. The 6000 sutras
have been classified into 15 books, 150 chapters, and 180 topics by Chanakya
himself. He was responsible for bringing down the Nanda dynasty and
establishing his able student Chandragupta Maurya on the throne as the Emperor.
Hence, he is called a 'Kingmaker'. He is also credited with masterminding the
defeat of Alexander in India who was on his march to conquer the world.

 Employee

Chankya says,
"For the guard not reporting to the city-
superintendent an of ence committed during
the night whether by the animate or the
inanimate, the punishment shall be in
conformity with the of ence, also in case of
negligence."

 FINANCE
Chankya says,                        
"When assigned work, he should show income
cleared of expenses." (5.5.1) This is a simple, yet
most important basic, lesson for the head of a
business unit or profit center. Such people, when
they report to their head or board of directors,
always show numbers, which is the top line
(incoming). Now it's nice to have a good turnover,
but sales are not profits.

 STRATAGY
"Coming to know what is known, definite
strengthening of what has become known,
removal of doubt in case of two possible
alternatives, finding out the rest in a matter
that is partly known — this can be achieved
with the help of ministers." 

10
 TEAMWORK

"Every object should go out of, or come into (the palace), after
it is examined and its arrival or departure is recorded." (1.20.23)
In an office there are many transactions taking place daily.
People come in and go out, goods are delivered, some are sent
out. Such exchanges are more common in manufacturing sectors,
like factories, and other production units.
