Bhagavath Geeta On Perfect Organization Structure.

"When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything elseseems so superfluous."- Albert Einstein

Management, be it of a kingdom or a business enterprise has to be based on a valuesystem, which gives it a strong foundation. That management is successful where

the value system is strong and rich that people love to identify themselves with it

and give the cause the whole hearted cooperation.

For an efficient management the right organization structure is the key and this

is well described in the ancient scripture Bhagavath Geeta, the song of the Lord.

As per Bhagavath Geeta, the social fabric of entire humanity (not Hindus alone) is

classified into four distinct types on the basis of various action qualities inherent

in respective individuals. These are categorized as Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyasand Shudras.

The activities of Brahmins, the Kshatriyas, the Vaishyas and the Shudras have beendivided in accordance with the qualities of their nature. (Chapter 18 Verese-41)

Accordingly the Brahmins are thinkers, the Kshatrias are rulers,the,Vaishyas are money makers and the Sudhras are laborers.Bhagavath Geetas Lesson To The Modern Organizations Structure:

Management deals with people .Everyone is not brave , valiant, clever and

sensitive. In an organization an employee may display varying characteristics

of courage and cowardice, tolerance and intolerance, friendliness and enmity

under different circumstances. In an organization the advisory board or the EXECUTIVES is considered to

be the Brahmins, the think tank or knowledge creations. They create the

new ideas and make decisions.

MANAGERS are the Kashtryas, who implement the ideas and decisions asaction.

The EMPLOYEESor clerks or the sales team, are the Vaishyas who work inthe company for profit. They ate mainly the ones who generate wealth for

the organization.

Last but not the least there are LABORERS who are the Shudras and who dothe rest of the physical labour. In the context of an organization,these

would be filing ,maintaining cleanliness,making deliveries and more.

The successful organizations give equal importance to all the four categories thatare mentioned above.
