The effects of organizational culture on system reliability cannot be understated. Many industries have experienced
catastrophic failures that have been attributed to organizational culture, such as the space shuttle Columbia disaster.
Other industries, such as health care, have difficulty measuring and improving reliability because of a dominant
organizational culture that impedes reliability analysis by focusing on the attribution of blame. On the other hand,
some industries, such as commercial aerospace, have reliability ingrained in the organizational culture and thus
achieve superior reliability in their systems. This paper will present an analysis of organization culture from a
variety of industries to illustrate the diverse ways in which organization cultures affect system reliability.

Social entrepreneurship in India is making greater strides towards inclusiveness by involving every strata of society to tap into the momentum and growth of the country. However, in spite of several initiatives, social entrepreneurship eco-system in India is not coming together as well as it needs to. Their focus and collaboration on solutions should be directed towards not merely one-off acts of charity, but adding up to a vast array of sustainable services across sectors and industries that help people at the base of the pyramid, which is not happening in the country now. In the post-independent era, many enterprising men with social bent of mind had ventured into setting up educational institutions, which helped the country to move out of the chaotic state into a vibrant and democratic environment. But over the decades, these established institutions which laid the foundation for modern India, because of their sheer size, were forced to evolve into large business enterprises...

10 things about good bosses Do you like your boss? Let's be honest, a majority of employees will definitely come with a negative answer to this question. Yes, bosses are not always there to be liked. But is there any fun being a boss who is not respected or ineffective at managing staff? Of course not, so let's have a look at what it takes to be a good boss. Below are 10 things that bosses can do to guarantee that their subordinates and co-workers will respect them. 1. Praise the staff in public, correct them in private Good bosses know it very well that praising and encouraging the staff is the key to have a positive atmosphere within the office and it helps to bring the best in them. If someone does something well, a good boss should recognize them for their efforts. People need to know when they are doing well and that they are appreciated. However, if someone is not doing so well, speak to them privately, instead of calling them out in front of a group. 2. Pay people what...

Let me share a few issues for TS members. Demarcation of the boundary was initially made with limited accuracy (reasons beyond scope here). At places it did not follow geographical features. The line stopped at a point known as NJ 9842 on the map – with no demarcation beyond. It is due to the strategic importance of the Saltoro Ridge that Pakistani troops began creeping up we were left with no option but to quickly occupy our territory. That was 1984. Today we occupy advantageous strategic positions. There is far more to our northern frontiers than Siachen Glacier. We do have a significant presence of troops in various other parts of the north. The Siachen glacier is only a fraction. Heights are dizzying, temperatures are sub sub zero (can only be felt, not imagined), silence is total (actually screams at you), and the loneliness is so profound that only the numbers of troops going hysterical, or otherwise suffering, can explain. Even walking with such low oxygen levels is...
