Integrating Bhagavad Gita Wisdom with Modern Management: A Holistic Indian Ethos Approach

This paper examines the enduring challenge of self-management, as highlighted by Arjun’s observations to Lord Krishna regarding the mind's uncontrollable nature, which resonates with both personal growth and contemporary management practices. The Bhagavad Gita, despite its ancient origins, provides profound insights into self-discipline, vision, leadership, and ethical action that are increasingly relevant in today’s fast-paced business landscape. This study explores the synergies between the teachings of the Gita and modern management theories, focusing on the holistic perspective of Indian ethos in management. By analysing key concepts such as Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, and Bhakti Yoga, along with the theory of the three Gunas—Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas—this research highlights how these principles can enhance contemporary managerial practices. Additionally, the paper discusses the evolution of modern management systems and the integration of Indian values, emphasizing the crucial role of ethical leadership and self-regulation in achieving organizational success. In a time when effective management is increasingly tied to holistic and culturally enriched approaches, the Bhagavad Gita offers a framework that transcends traditional Western theories, paving the way for both personal and organizational fulfilment. Ultimately, this research argues that embracing the wisdom of the Gita can foster a more balanced, ethical, and effective management practice, aligning with the well-being of all stakeholders.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Managing Workplace Conflict Management in Nigerian Universities

This study assesses the effectiveness of managing workplace conflicts in Kogi State University, Anyigba, Nigeria. A mixed-methods approach and survey design was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis methods. The main objective of the study is to assess the effect of collective bargaining on workplace conflict management in Nigeria Universities, focusing on Kogi State University Anyigba The population considered for this study is the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) members, the Non-academic staff union (NASU), and the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) from the Kogi State University Anyigba. Summing them up therefore the total number of these individuals is 4013. Hence 4013 constituted the total population of this study. This study employed the “Modern Management Theory," theory propounded by Mary Parker Follet who believed that management was "the art of getting things done through people. The result of hypothesis one shows that the p-value is 0.000 at 5% significance level; this means that the Null Hypothesis is rejected and the study concludes that Collective bargaining has a significant effect on conflict management in Kogi State University Anyigba. The result of hypothesis two shows that the p-value is 0.000 at 5% significance level this means that the Null Hypothesis is accepted and the study concludes that the collective bargaining strategy is not effective in workplace conflict management at Kogi State University Anyigba. The study recommends that the University should re-evaluate its current collective bargaining strategies to ensure they are more effective in managing workplace conflicts. This might include involving more diverse stakeholder groups in the bargaining process to improve effectiveness. The University should implement conflict resolution training programs for both academic and non-academic staff to enhance their capacity to engage in constructive bargaining and negotiations.

THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF THE STATE STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL AREAS

This article explores the theoretical underpinnings of state strategic management in the development of rural areas, emphasizing the integration of modern management theories with rural development initiatives. It critically examines various strategic management models and adapts them to the unique challenges and opportunities present in rural settings. The purpose of this article is to research and improve the theoretical aspects of state strategic management of the development of rural areas. The methodological basis was system, process, synergistic, institutional approaches during the research. In the research process, general scientific methods were applied: dialectical, deduction, induction, monographic; a set of economic methods, including economic analysis and synthesis, expert, statistical methods of structural and dynamic analysis, index method, method of point assessment, cognitive modeling and scenario forecasting. The classification of the planning stages of the rural territory development strategy has been improved, which, unlike the current one, provides for the following stages, namely: determination of the goals of the rural territory development (during its formation, the qualitative parameters of the habitat are established and the list of quantitative and qualitative benchmarks for the economic development of the rural territory is approved); analysis of the external environment (the main socio-economic indicators are evaluated: the total GDP, the state of the investment environment and the level of development, the presence of various threats, the level of inflation and prospects for economic growth); compiling a portfolio of the rural area; directions of rural area development; planning (identification of features of the rural area); strategy development and its implementation; the final analysis of the effectiveness and efficiency of the planned planning process (implemented after the completion of all activities provided for in the strategy). The interpretation of the essence of the state strategic planning of rural areas has been further developed, which should be understood as the activity of developing a strategy for the socio-economic development of areas with the aim of ensuring their sustainable development, which is manifested in increasing the competitiveness of rural areas, which is based on investment attractiveness, expanding production in compliance with ecological - socio-economic security.

Methodical apparatus for risk assessment in decision-making to combat illegal migration at the state border of Ukraine

This study proposes a methodical apparatus for risk assessment when making decisions on combating illegal migration at the state border of Ukraine. This apparatus includes a risk assessment methodology, a set of risk assessment indicators and criteria for combating illegal migration, a model of illegal migration risk assessment and a model for choosing the processing method. The goal that was set during the methodology development involves the following main stages: forming a set of indicators and criteria for risk assessment, assessment of the threat impact level (assessment of the threat probability level and the level of the threat’s negative consequences), vulnerability assessment, determining the risk level and the processing method. An expert survey of analysts from the Ukrainian Border Guard Agency was carried out to develop this set of risk assessment indicators and criteria. The proposed set includes new indicators, mathematical assessment models, quantitative values of assessment criteria and considers the influence weight of the main factors on the threat and vulnerability levels. This provides an opportunity to bring the qualitative characteristics of the risk level indicator to the provisions of modern risk management theory to obtain the quantitative value of the risk level, to exclude a subjective factor in assessment and to determine the risk level more accurately. The improved methodical apparatus allows developing of an action strategy aimed at minimizing the negative consequences of risk when making management decisions to combat illegal migration to assess a risk management result using an economic effect indicator.

Analogy between Modern Project Management Theory and Sunzi Art of War: Chapters 1 to 4

This article scrutinizes the analogy between modern project management theory and Sunzi Art of War (or “Sunzi” for short in this abstract) by comparing and contrasting them and identifying the similarities and dissimilarities between them. It is revealed that similarities overwhelmingly exceed dissimilarities at least by the numbers of ideas in the two philosophies. To be specific, Sunzi’s decision on war versus no war is comparable to modern project selection, both being worth prior rigorous contemplation and thus analysis. Sunzi’s analysis is analogous to key success factor (KSF) analysis or strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis commonly adopted in modern project management. Sunzi reiterates the criticality of performing analysis prior to any warfare in the same way as modern project management accentuates analysis for the purpose of project selection. Sunzi analyzes war in a quantified manner somewhat akin to the cost-benefit analysis commonly employed in modern project selection. Sunzi assumes the increase of fixed costs with time just as modern project management does. Sunzi’s practice of “team building” resembles modern project management’s. Sunzi regards victory in war as the objective of top priority in a way similar to defining project objectives and establishing project priorities in modern project management. Sunzi pays heed to the satisfaction and other psychological statuses of the soldiers as much as modern project management does. Sunzi prefers to fight wars only after conducting thorough analysis to predict favorable outcomes of the wars, whereas modern project managers likewise would proceed with any projects only after performing systematic analysis for project selection to predict favorable outcomes. Sunzi believes in managing the military by means of the rule of law and discipline, which modern project management is premised on. Sunzi contends that everything in war has to be measured, estimated, calculated, and probability-based, which is exactly the kind of positivism and scientific approaches upheld by modern project management. Having said this, Sunzi’s insistence on “doing it right once” disagrees with a few modern project management methodologies. Also, the approaches to implement the ideas differ between the two philosophies.

Философия управления: адаптация и трансляция опыта поколений

Modern management theory offers a large number of methods and approaches in management activities. In-terdisciplinary research reveals many factors that influence effective management in both small teams and global corporations. The study attempts to analyze national management models from the point of view of the theory of generations, which in this perspective is considered as a tool for translating and adapting the experi-ence of generations in management activities. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that in the era of in-formation and knowledge economy many managerial processes have become formalized and automated, meanwhile the highest managerial level remains, which requires a deep human awareness of the situation and wise decision-making. The research methodology is based on comparative and socio-cultural methods of scientific analysis. As a scientific and practical significance of the study, it is possible to highlight the actualiza-tion of the problem of management methods under the cultural paradigms of social space in the conditions of post-globalist trends.

A Study on the Management of Staff Remuneration in Wuhan Wanda Realm Hotel before and after the Epidemic

In modern human resources management theory, compensation management is the most important and difficult module: the design of the compensation system and its conformity to the needs of the company's development strategy are the most crucial. Its strategy to meet the needs of employees is simultaneously confronted with a complex external environment. Compensation strategies must also be adapted to maintain the effectiveness of the compensation system. This is a central issue facing hotel operators. This paper takes Wuhan Wanda Realm Hotel as the subject of this study and analyses its compensation structure, pay allocation, performance bonuses, benefits package and employee satisfaction. By comparing industry data, we can understand how Wanda Realm Hotel is operating in the face of the epidemic. To understand how to adjust the remuneration strategy, this study explores the problems in the existing remuneration system, applying theories such as two-factor and profit-sharing, through forwarding specific suggestions on salary differentiation, positions grading standard and salary incentive, this research intends to improve the overall salary incentive system of the Wanda Realm Hotel.

INTEGRATION OF TRADITIONAL CULTURE AND MODERN TECHNOLOGY: AN EXPLORATION OF THE OPTIMIZATION OF CULTURAL ELEMENTS AND WATER SELF-PURIFICATION SYSTEMS IN THE TRADITIONAL CHINESE WATERSCAPE DESIGN

Traditional Chinese waterscape design is a profound cultural symbol and a perfect embodiment of the natural landscape. The philosophical ideas, aesthetic concepts and cultural connotations embedded in traditional Chinese culture have played an important role in the design of traditional water features. However, traditional water features have struggled to maintain their lasting beauty due to their impact on the environment and ecology. With the development of modern technology and advances in water management theory and techniques, modern water treatment systems have become an important means of solving water management and ecological and environmental problems. Combining traditional cultural elements with modern water self-purification systems has become an effective way to optimise traditional water features.
 This paper focuses on the cultural elements and water self-purification systems embedded in the design of traditional Chinese water features, and ways to optimise them with the help of modern technology. Firstly, the cultural background of traditional Chinese garden water features is analysed in terms of their unique traditional cultural elements, design methods and characteristics. Then, through the analysis and study of modern water management theories and technologies, the principles of realisation and optimisation strategies of water treatment are discussed. Finally, the combination of traditional cultural elements and modern water purification is used to explore in depth how traditional Chinese waterscape design can integrate traditional and modern elements, making it convenient for people while having a positive impact on the natural environment and ecology. The findings of this paper help to promote the combination of traditional culture and modern technology, and provide references and lessons for the environmental development of traditional Chinese waterscape design.

Modern Yönetim Kuramlarından Sistem Yaklaşımına Güncel Bir Bakış

This article provides an up-to-date perspective on the systems approach. This approach is a modern management theory that considers a target, a tool used to reach the strategic path from the past by considering the effects of internal and external factors, and an organism as a whole. Rather than controlling the functioning of the organism individually, this approach seeks to understand how the whole works and how this transition is affected by the explanations between its parts, and is based on thinking of the organism as a system. Systems editing recognizes that the organism is a system of spreading parts and studies the interactions between these parts. In addition, the systems approach emphasizes the importance of relationships with other businesses and society with which the computer interacts. The systems approach provides a framework that works in executing the different predictions in a framework and how these parts interact. These services include human resources, production services, financial resources, referrals. System maintenance also helps in understanding the complex structures of organizations. This solution recognizes that organizations have many different components and subsystems and examines the relationships between respiration. In this way, it helps organizations sit more effectively. The systems approach is a modern management theory and advocates treating organizations as a system. This approach helps organizations understand their complex structures and more effectively in their offices. Key Words: System Approach, Modern Management Theory, Organizations

Effect of integration capabilities with channel distributors on supply chain agility in emerging markets: an institution-based view perspective

PurposeWith emerging markets representing great growth opportunities and serving as indispensable components in the global supply chain, it is unclear how well modern supply chain management theories developed in advanced markets apply to emerging markets. This study integrates the institution-based view with supply chain management literature to examine how integration capabilities can be leveraged to achieve supply chain agility in emerging markets and how the efficacy of integration capabilities is shaped by internal and external institutional contexts.Design/methodology/approachThis study examines how firms in emerging markets can leverage their platform integration and knowledge integration capabilities with channel distributors to improve the supply chain agility and how such relationships are shaped by both the internal (proxy by ownership structure) and external (proxy by regional openness) institutional contexts in which firms operate. Survey and archival data collected from 207 firms operating in China, one of the largest emerging markets, were used to test the proposed research model.FindingsThe results reveal that platform integration and knowledge integration are two driving forces for supply chain agility in the emerging markets. Moreover, the results indicate that state-owned firms are able to achieve higher supply chain agility from their investments in knowledge integration with channel distributors than non-state-owned firms. While firms in regions with a high level of openness enjoy higher supply chain agility from knowledge integration, firms in regions with a low level of openness can catch up by investing in platform integration with their channel distributors.Originality/valueThe authors extend the extant study on supply chain integration (SCI) research to examine how operational and strategic integration with channel distributors can help the focal firm achieve supply chain agility in emerging markets. The study results also enrich the existing studies in emerging markets by revealing the importance of the institutional context in which firms operate on B2B channel management.

Managers’ service time determined key motives and engagement

Introduction.The article is devoted to the problem of engagement and its relationship with the satisfaction of the key motives for the managers with different work experience in the company. The urgency of solving this problem is explained by the close relationship between the managers’ engagement and the company’s performance indicators, which, under the influence of structural transformation of socio-economic processes, stimulates the continuous search for optimal algorithms for managing it. Purpose. The keyobjective of the work is to present the results of a correlation analysis of the motivation sign and engagement values for the managers of a large industrialenterprise during the entire period of work in a company. Materials and Methods. The methodology of the research is based on modern theories of management and personnel management, the humanistic concept of people management. Empirically, the research exploits the results of a surveyamong 629 employees of the “managers” category (59.7% of the total numberof employees in this category) from a large manufacturing enterprise. Results. The paper justifies a close correlation between the satisfaction of the key motives at work and engagement of the managers from the analyzed enterprise.The authors show that there are significant differences in a number of key motives, their satisfaction, as well as in terms of indicators of involvement in the company’s activities, depending on the factor “service time at the enterprise”. Conclusion. The work can serve as a basis for further study of the possibilities of managing the involvement of managers, its relationship with the satisfaction of key work motives under the influence of various external and internal factors.

General Management Components Involved in the Management of Financial Audit and Control

The efficient functioning of organizations cannot be achieved without ensuring the correct use of the public or
 private funds that are at their disposal, in accordance with the objectives which they have set for themselves. Managers have the task of managing the funds in accordance with the legislation in force, as well as taking measures in order to prevent, sanction or recover any damage caused by financial irregularities or by the failure to achieve the objectives for which they were allocated.
 A basic concept in the theory and practice of modern management is represented by responsibility. To fulfill his
 responsibility/responsibilities, the manager needs a system of guidance, self-regulation or coercion, and that system is represented by control. Control, and in particular the financial audit and control, contributes to the evaluation of the programs performance, to the planning of activities and to a good management of resources. The successful accomplishment of these tasks cannot be accomplished outside of management science and the reverberations it entails.
 The role and importance of the financial audit and control in management, imposes, as it is shown in this approach, the
 need for a management of this activity, which would have its own structural elements, with specific relationships between them, and also with the system in which it evolves.
 The financial audit and control management, as a segment of management, must be defined starting from the general
 management. That is why, in this paper, I tried to approach, as a personal contribution, the management and financial audit in terms of general components (Management Science, Scientific Management, Management Processes, Management Relations, Management Principles, Management as a synthetic economic discipline) and in terms of the components of the organization's Management system (Information system, Decision system, Organizational system, Methodological system). The study that took place revealed a series of predictable influences such as: the need to create some computerized infrastructures, to create some horizontal information networks that would allow the efficient use of knowledge, increasing the role of management by objectives coupled with management through budgets, elaborating complex analysis and evaluation methodologies.

THE BASES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A STRATEGIC MARKETING TOOLKIT FOR AN INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISE

Nowadays marketing plays an important role in the business activity of an enterprise. Modern changes of external environment induce enterprises to search for new ways of development and introduction of new marketing strategies. Marketing tools help the enterprise to carry out market analysis, customer attraction, sales, etc., all of which are crucial factors for the enterprise’s success in the market. However, there are many different methodologies and tools in modern marketing management theory and practice, making it difficult to determine the development position for an enterprise and choose the appropriate strategic tools for its implementation due to incessant changes.
