Do you really feel company should conduct gd?

GD from co. point of view is good bcoz it add more help in finding good candidates from shortlisted.

No, GD is not only the right path to anylysis.. like a guineous person who never expalin their ideas in public and a fool always try to pull him up by doing follish things..

there are serval way aside GD..

only my view

I used GD for about 30 years as management consultant as also now another about 15 years in legal matters so i may able to find GD reveals new methods of analysing persons traits as also subjects mutivarious approches, in fact bar and bench in a divivson court, really adopts this method of understandin issues to arive at some meaning decisions.

So also MBA or LL.M or any class room if the faculty used GD technique naturally the whole class understands new aspects of any subject.

i have seen in my experience also that new perceptions, when i used to teach perception management, i used this technique to gear in new perceptions on same issue, see now CAG when used its Audit methods on 2G spectrum or Coal block allocations got new perceptions of financial accounting, financial management, then management accounting and auditing perceptions, as SAS Auditors talk ever so many  in any auditing work with the concerned executive department and probes into them that way new perceptions are arrived at every discussion is worth the effort. this i even demonstrated as a Non-Executive director in public limited spinning mills as to why companies become sick and how sickness can be avoided if you use the very company or departmental officers by  free unbiased discussion process  land into new vistas and can really understand the depth of problems the very authorities and other participants contributed unknowingly how much damage is caused. this helped me to write 400 pages book like material on Why Companies fail?...

so it goes on..tq for this thought provoking subject. i had proved how CAs/CSs/Cost auditors unknowingly  contributed to fall of companies in a field experiment... regdsdr g balakrishnan

Role of Management consulting it a product of very many GDs on the relevant system in a systematic manner like CAG but parliamentary unsystematic discussions never lead any sensible cybernatics in discussions as every member suffers from enormous ego that he is superior human being as i am elected by a constituency of so many lacs f members and that blurs his vision. similarly the law making process of ministries many a time unsystematically, so the statute gets tested over several years of its utility in some cases several centuries and it that law survives then that law is appearing to be okay and yet it needs several more years of application of facts(which facts cannot be imagined in several ways as facts emerge) so courts every time tests the laws with the facts brought before them that way laws are getting tested.

see schedule IX of constitution of India was tested from 1951 to 2007 and in 2007 then CJI YK Sabharwalm in his the constitutionalm bench on 7 january 2007 delivered the judgement in the case IE Coelho v TN and this decision finally deactivated schedule IX introduced in 1951 first constitutional Amendment Act. Thus every law when tested and when is about 100 % accepted over half a century then it is okay wisdom else it wasted the the time of people and the resources.

It is interesting to note the view of chief justice Hughes: 'If democratic institutions are to survive, it will not simply by maintaining majority rule and by  te swiftaaptations to the needs of the moment, but by the dominance of sense of justice which will  not long survive, if judicial process do not conserve it'.

In this way let us see what Justice Story in the Dortsmouth college case said,:

         
I have pondered on the case before us with anxious deliberations, i entertain great respect for the Legislature whose acts are in question...no less respect for the enlightened tribunal whose decision we are called upon to review......I have endeavoured  to keep my steps 'super antiquas vias' of  the voice of the law, under guidance of authority and principle.  .. It is not for the judges to listen to the voice of persuasive eloquence or popular appeal. We  have nothing to do but pronouce the law as we find it; and having done this, our justification must be left to the imperial judgement of the country.'

i hope i have rendered my view for all of  our fellow travellers benefits. tks n regds. Dr G. Balakrishnan
