The present paper discusses the history and the logic behind the conception and development of fuzzy sets and systems and the fuzzy logic therein, and how its suitability was recognised in modeling the decision making problems in management science, finance, marketing, and supply chain management, among others. Lately, fuzzy models are being used in multiattribute decision making. Problems such as brand choice, consumer behaviour, head hunting in human resource management, in which human preferences are involved and have to be evaluated quantifiably to arrive at a tangible decision; fall in this category. The paper tries to explain the intricate fuzzy logic in a manager friendly language and how it is applied in the decision making process where linguistic ambiguity or imprecision is involved. We present the application of fuzzy logic and possibility theory in modeling and the solutions of business problems in various fields such as Finance, marketing, supply chain among others.Keywords

This paper discusses the efficiency issues in purchasing, manufacturing, and transporting over various stages of a supply chain such as supplier selection, production, and distribution. To address the efficiency questions, we group the supply chain into six independent areas. Four of these, vendor management, scheduling, inventory management, and transportation, are related to the product flow, whereas network design and information sharing are non-flow related.Keywords

A supply chain (SC) consists of all parties involved, directly or indirectly, in fulfilling a customer requestas defined in Chopra&Meindl (2007). This includes supplier, manufacturer, distributors, retailer, and customer. In addition, all the functions and departments within each organisation are included in the SC. Supply Chain Management (SCM) is the coordination between all these parties and functions for the advantage of the whole supply chain. This coordination requires flow of products (in the direction of customers), funds (in the direction of suppliers) and information between different parties.Keywords

In this paper, author discusses the state of sports and athletics in India. He also implores the facilities, incentives, and opportunities both for participants and promotors, be it state or national Olympic associations, businesses that promote them and get enhancements in name and market or societal values. The central theme of the paper is to explore the strategy, policy and facility development that will enhance the performance of the national athletes and sport teams in international sport competitions. The matter will be considered in light of problem recognition, strategy and policy, human, resource and process management.Keywords

On one end of the leadership spectrum, there is Machiavelli-conniving, ambitious and ruthless. On the other, there is Cyrus the Great-humble, generous and loyal. Along this spectrum of great leaders and motivators, used so often in business books, speeches and anecdotes, there is hardly a mention of great teachers and academicians that have inspired and motivated young minds over generations. In this paper, after a preliminary discussion of traits, qualities and motivational drives that relate to leadership, we shall invoke great exemplary teachers of our times: Albert Einstein, George B, Dantzig, C. R. Rao and J. N. Kapur and others, and the leadership they provided in their fields of education, human development and advancement of knowledge. After all, inspiring is way better than leading and managing.Keywords
