Versions and Translations

I've been very fortunate.

Sherlock Holmes in Japan was first published by HarperCollins in India in late 2013.

Poisoned Pen Press then published the book in March 2015 after some amount of restructuring. It was fascinating to see the PPP editors apply their minds and create something new.

And now, Grupo Editorial in Brasil has published the Portuguese translation of the book.

Translation must be such a complex and exhausting task. Finding the right words must be the easiest part of the process. Nuances must be the really difficult part.

I guess I no longer own the book. It has its own life and will go wherever it wishes.

My book was released in the US on March 3rd.

Book announced - How Organizations Really Work

I'm happy to say that my book How Organizations Really Work, has been announced by Bloomsbury.  It is expected to hit stores by March 3rd.

About the Book

Books on management and organizations usually ignore the human factor. This
unorthodox book marks a radical departure in how organizations should be understood.
It deals with human issues and relationships between groups. Though serious, it
makes for easy reading and is written with humour. How Organizations Really Work is
the perfect companion for an employee at any level; for those who want to step back and
look objectively at what’s happening around them and make sense of it. It is also for
management students accustomed to impractical diets of theory. Exclusive mind-maps
at the end of each chapter help the reader make connections between the concepts
discussed and entities, while the wildly funny stories provide a much-needed welcome
break.

Beginning with the reasons why organizations exist, the author examines how authority
flows down from the board to everyone else. Marketing, Sales, Human Resources,
Finance, Information Systems and Operations are examined first theoretically and then
through the eyes of a practitioner who knows where theory falls short.

Strange,

That when I needed to be silent,

I babbled like a brook;

and of course, 

when I needed a word

I was struck dumb.

How comforting

an empty dictionary 

might have been,

to search for words

and never find any

to commemorate a passing,

something brutally torn,

a childhood too fleeting, a love

beyond language. Another invisible

brick in Babel's ziggurat.
