Prof. MIKI LANE, Adjunct Professor, McGill University, Montreal, Canada, Former Director (EML), University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Dewakar’s book is a timely addition to the growing literature on Performance Management. I have enjoyed reading his book and recommended it to all. Prof. VINAYSHIL GAUTAM, Founder-Director, IIM (K), and Professor & Head, Dept. of Management Studies, IIT Delhi. Professor Dewakar Goel’s work on Performance appraisal is worthy of the highest acclaim. In 20 years as a Management Trainer, I have not seen a better reference that provides such a refreshing alternative perspective to the many Western centric volumes and assists readers to grasp the often elusive cultural aspects of modern day management with the region.
