Management Dynamics, Vol 10, No 1 (2010), Pagination: 1-20Abstract
This account offers students and professionals, thoughts on useful strategies in management situations based on the author's life experiences. Since the majority of the readers of Management Dynamics come from India and Southeast Asia, the remarks are directed with them in mind but they could be applied elsewhere as well. The author's career trajectory was not planned. Although 90 per cent happened by chance, chance was not entirely random but led to choice and opportunity. 10 per cent was devoted to strategic planning and preparation. Her expertise lies not in management studies but in the field of ethnomusicology, that is, a process for studying not only the music itself but also the study of music in its cultural context. The essay is divided into three parts. Observations about the author's life experiences are illustrated in Part 1 consisting of a series of brief vignettes elucidating events that shaped her thinking. Taking place between the years 1890 and 2009, these events offer commentary about historical precedents and family influences, discriminatory practices, mentors, incidents of chance and opportunity, the politics of political correctness, gender issues, and new directions in research.Full Text

She also alludes to aspects of her Peace Corps experience in Part 1 as they pertain to issues not clarified in Part 2. And occasionally she makes references about events occurring on dates not indicated within the specified timeframe for they were relevant to the discussion at hand. Topics include: Foreigner in America, why the author joined the US Peace Corps, Walkout in Virginia, Peace Corps Service, Pebbles and Stones, Almost Meeting Premier Chou En-lai, Separate but not equal. Brown like us. Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee in Ethiopia, and general observations of her Peace Corps years.Full Text

Issues with which I had to contend are discussed within the context of historical precedent and family influences; discriminatory practices; the politics of political correctness; mentors; gender roles; and the interconnectedness of chance, choice, and opportunity, all of which could serve as catalyst for addressing management issues and new research paradigms.Full Text
