Wait: The Art and Science of Delay

In what it seems to be a wonderful book,  Wait: The Art and Science of Delay the author Frank Partnoy (who previously wrote the fantastic F.I.A.S.C.O. and other two books) probes into the theme of the choices we make given the time frame we have. The author argues that sometimes a delay in decision making or procrastination leads to a superior decision. He supports the argument that delaying decisions in everyday choices could lead to better lives.

I havent’ read the book (plan to read it very soon) but found the video below on YouTube quite interesting.

Wait - The Useful Art of Procrastination

Rural India by Harish Manwani

A must read speech by Mr. Harish Manwani of HUL. The topic of the speech was "Rural India - An Emerging Powerhouse". You can read the speech here.

One of the top most management gurus of all time – the late C.K.Prahlad – in his breakthrough book The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid discussed new business models on how private sector had a critical role to play in alleviating global poverty and the world’s several billion poorest offered terrific new market opportunity. In his book he had mentioned about Hindustan Lever’s Lifebuoy and Annapurna salt stories and how HUL’s brilliance catapulted the brands position in the rural India.
