Title: Jalebi management
First published: 2007
Description: Jalebi Management is a provocative, out-of-the-box management book written through the window of critical social observation by international top management strategy consultant, Shombit Sengupta. This tantalizing read is for the ambitious global manager who wants to innovate and make it big in this increasingly complex world.

How can the jalebi, which represents the sweet desire of over a billion people in India, orchestrate global business? Sengupta demonstrates that the succulent jalebi represents the uniqueness of particular cultures, a uniqueness that global businesses need to understand for complete success. Interspersed with far-sighted observations and anecdotes, and spiced with humor, this book provides novel and appetizing management techniques at a time when developed countries are looking towards India and China for their market expansion and outsourcing requirements.

From the fermented dough of social, cultural and historical gleanings, combined with over thirty years of management expertise, Sengupta spins out a book that demonstrates how today’s business organizations must be sensitive to the nuances of global social culture to bring about quantum growth.  With scientific analysis of the elevated emotion, he shows how to tackle tomorrow’s competitive business world and win markets with a “creative business strategy” in both economically emerging and developed countries. In doing so, he points to a symbiotic relationship in which industry cannot exist without people, and people cannot enjoy modern life without industry.
