Management lessons

This is with reference to the Jottings column titled `Management Lessons from Dunlop' (Business Line, December 8). The piece made for interesting reading and I personally agree with the author. As mentioned in the article most Indian companies, with the exception of a few have short life whereas MNCs such as Shell, Unilever and Swiss watch companies are still going strong decades later.

India does have a few such companies as Higginbothams, Simpsons, SBI and Canara Bank.

Their long life in the corporate sector can perhaps be attributed to their focus on long-term growth, for which they are even willing to sacrifice short-term profits.
