- Kumar Mangalam Birla
Chairman - Aditya Birla Group
Full text of 27th Vikram Sarabhai Memorial Lecture delivered by Shri Kumar Mangalam Birla at Ahmedabad Management Association on 13th September 2006. Shri Birla in his address says - "Let me zero in on this accent on values. Maximizing value, of course, has to be a prime objective for any Corporation. But it is value plus's - added on, i.e., - values - that will ensure the sustainability and survival of an organization. In this case the addition of a single letter makes all the difference - value and values ! So superior values lead to superior value for stakeholders. There are several forces that drive business towards a quest for values. For example, in many instances, it is an enlightened founder or the CEO who sets the tone and drives values deep through the organization. The founder of IBM, Thomas Watson, comes to mind, as does Sony's Akio Morita. In India many business groups have had a prominent social face, right from the very early days of their founding - J.R.D. Tata, G.D. Bi rla, Narayana Murthy to name a few." The full text provides and excellent reading !
