Dr Athreya on the best style of management
The American and European styles of management are very different. While the Americans are significantly good at marketing management, the Europeans are strong on management of technology, cost and productivity
When I left to do my PhD in the US, I knew that I was coming back soon. I was in IIM-Calcutta for six years till 1973. After that, I went on a sabbatical to London Business School and Scottish Business School. So as a result when I returned I had a combination of understanding of the American and the European management. Since 1978, I became an independent consultant.
