Hi Amit,

TISS as such has no affinity for Engineers, we are a healthy mixture of people across various faculties.

for example we have Engineers, B.com, B.scs, BAs, BMS, Economics grads, History grads, Scientists etc.

i will come with all the details in my subsequent posts.


Thanks and Regards

Capitalism : Economic system in which means of production is privately owned and operated for profit.

Socialism: System where distribution of wealth is controlled by community. The community owns the means of production.

Communism: Seeks socialist state and wants to establish equality in distribution of wealth etc.

Marxism: Marx said that the transition from capitalistic to socialistic society will take time and there will be a transition time where there will be revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat.
From wikipedia :
According to Marxism, capitalism is a system based on the exploitation of the proletariat by the bourgeoisie (the "capitalists", who own and control the means of production). This exploitation takes place as follows: the workers, who own no means of production of their own, must seek jobs in order to live. They get hired by a capitalist and work for him, producing some sort of goods or services. These goods or services then become the property of the capitalist, who sells them and gets a certain amount of money in exchange. One part of the wealth produced is used to pay the workers' wages, while the other part (surplus value) is split between the capitalist's private takings (profit), and the money used to pay rent, buy supplies and renew the forces of production. Thus the capitalist can earn money (profit) from the work of his employees without actually doing any work, or in excess of his own work. Marxists argue that new wealth is created through work; therefore, if someone gains wealth that he did not work for, then someone else works and does not receive the full wealth created by his work. In other words, that "someone else" is exploited. Thus, Marxists argue that capitalists make a profit by exploiting workers.

Leninism :
Lenin argued that the proletariat can only achieve a successful revolutionary consciousness through the efforts of a Communist Party comprised of full-time professional revolutionaries. Lenin further believed that such a party could only achieve its aims through a form of disciplined organization known as democratic centralism, wherein Communist Party officials are elected democratically, but once they are elected, all party members must abide by their decisions.
Leninism holds that capitalism can only be overthrown by revolutionary means; that is, any attempts to reform capitalism from within, such as Fabianism (advocates attaining socialism via reforms rather than violence) and non-revolutionary forms of democratic socialism, are doomed to fail.
The goal of a Leninist party is to orchestrate the overthrow of the existing government by force and seize power on behalf of the proletariat, and then implement a dictatorship of the proletariat. The party must then use the powers of government to educate the proletariat, so as to remove the various modes of false consciousness the bourgeois have instilled in them in order to make them more docile and easier to exploit economically, such as religion and nationalism.
The dictatorship of the proletariat is theoretically to be governed by a decentralized system of proletarian direct democracy, in which workers hold political power through local councils known as soviets

i think its better fror us to have some good discussions here rather than the routine how was last year etc. u can find them in the 2007-09 thread. Juast go through them and you ll have a fair idea of the entire process.

To start with , we can post a few articles on HR that appear in the newspapers.
then we can discuss about it. Chaos/Talky sandeep and others can probably tell us about the latest happenings in HR and the different subjects / books / functions of HR.

‘HR must be different’



TIMES NEWS NETWORK



Bangalore: HR is not just about hiring and firing anymore. It's increasingly becoming an integral part of the core business, as the people factor has a direct reflection on the market competitiveness of enterprises.
"Globalisation, technology developments, and changing customer and employee needs have thrown open a new breed of challenges for HR managers, thereby impacting a sea change in the entire fabric of conventional HR," said Dave Ulrich, educator and management guru and faculty at Michigan Ross School of Business.
"To respond to increased demands, HR professionals must redefine and improve performance and enhance their competencies,'' Ulrich said. He saw the impact of economic globalisation to be more pronounced in countries like India and China, the world's largest labour markets.
Addressing a large audience of HR professionals from across verticals at a Times Ascent organised event on 'HR Value Proposition: New competencies for the HR professional' here on Friday, Ulrich said, "Today, the job of HR is to create value, and proper communication with employees is critical for this value creation.''
Unlike conventional practices, HR should allow people to work on projects that are demanding, unpredictable and ambiguous, as many enjoy such challenges. Again, all HR strategies have to be directly linked to the core business of the company and its customers' interests.
HR policies should encourage clear employee succession plans, conducive work environment and a sense of ownership.
"Employees should be taught 'spiritual' discipline, and HR should inculcate modesty, integrity, forgiveness, humility, mercy, mutual respect and charity, qualities that are key in a work environment," Ulrich said.
Earlier, speaking at the seminar, Arun Arora of the Times Group said, "Multi-tasking is bringing innovation and also compulsion to demolish the boundary walls between departments. This puts a lot of pressure on HR professionals who must stand above and add value to the organisation.''
The event was sponsored by Pune-based Indira Group of Institutes, SAP and Zydus.
