Abstract
Industrial relations do not receive as much attention as it should, both among scholars as well as practitioners of management. The book under review by Dr. Anil Khandelwal is a refreshingly welcome and scholarly endeavor by a practitioner. The author is a career banker, who joined the Bank of Baroda as a young junior officer and retired as its CEO. Dr. Khandelwal also spent time as a researcher. The book is based on personal and inside experiences of the author, as well as insights gained from his research to understand the dynamics of industrial relations strategies pursued by the top management of a leading public sector bank. The ethnographic details and the reflective analysis by the author remind us of William Foote Whyte’s classic “Street Corner Society”, describing the inner life of an Italian American Slum.
