India Supply Chain Evolution - A new version of old philosophies or reinventing your thinking
Industry over the past century has seen several management philosophies like Taylorism, Ford principles, Toyota way of manufacturing and most recently Supply Chain Management. Each of these principles owes its success to the evolution process and its context which gave a competitive advantage. India has enjoyed a protected environment till the early 90's and few companies had global ambitions.
Now the Indian industry has a few large companies that have evolved to are globally competitive following certain processes. Examples of them are TATA motors with the Nano and Sundaram Fasteners. It is important to understand the mix of philosophies that drive the companies to their ambitions.
Is it a mere copy cat version of management philosophies that makes these companies successful ?
I believe that the philosophies of these companies are Indianised and thats the reason for success, however the Indianisation of management philosophies remains little explored in reality.
