Managerial Analysis of Vidur Niti
Vidur Niti is a part of the Mahabharata, the great Indian epic authored by Krishna Dvaipayana Ved Vyasa. It spans chapters 33 to 40 of the Udyoga Parva and comprises 588 Sanskrit shlokas.
Vidur, an incarnation of Yama (the god of justice), served as the Prime Minister of the Hastinapur kingdom. On the eve of the Mahabharata war between the Kauravas and Pandavas, King Dhritarashtra-troubled and unable to sleep-summoned Vidur at midnight for counsel. He requested a discourse on the ethics of governance. The dialogue continued until 4 a.m. Although the king agreed with Vidur's insights, he felt powerless to act on them due to the influence of his eldest son Duryodhana, who held the real power.
The 588 shlokas in Vidur Niti have been thematically classified into various categories, including:
Qualities of Good, Bad, and Vicious Individuals
Ethical Logic and Wisdom
Traits of Effective Kings and Leaders
Contemporary Management Topics such as self-control, oral communication, committee systems, stress management, leadership qualities, emotional intelligence, and policy strategies.
Six case studies have also been derived from the text, along with sections on family management and managing friendships.
This research project, conducted under the Ved Vyasa Chair at Shri Govind Guru University, Godhra, Gujarat, aims to establish that Vidur, as early as 3200 BCE, had a profound understanding of governance and management principles and articulated them with ethical clarity and logical reasoning.
Each Sanskrit shloka in this book is followed by Roman transliteration and an English commentary for better understanding. A chapter-wise summary is provided at the end for ease of revision.
