Aatchikalai / ஆட்சிக்கலை  (Tamil, Hardcover, Udaya Kathiravan)

The book ‘The Prince’ contains many ideas related to politics and governance. It focuses on creating a new kingdom (in contemporary context Startups/new Companies). In order to retain power, the interests of the various institutions must be carefully balanced. On the contrary, a new king has a very difficult task of ruling. He must first secure his new power in order to build a lasting political framework. Machiavelli has realised that in the face of moral corruption one can achieve social good and its security. Machiavelli made it clear that public social morality and individual morality should be understood differently. As a result, a ruler must realise that he has to work hard to maintain a good reputation but is also prepared to act tactfully at the right time. Principles from ‘The Prince’ by Machiavelli is applicable even today and address critical strategy and management topics on governance. • Stability in Governance • Merge & Acquisition • Partnership & Ecosystem Benefits • Tradition based governance • Capability based governance • Contract Governance • Sustainability • Capability Management • Competition Management • Advises & Councils
