Mahabharata -corporate managementin the physchological level

Lets look at the corporate angle hw mahabahara characters can be personified from the management angle, Krishna is a great Chief Executive. “Protect the right and attack the wrong” is his punch word. He is basically a follower of the righteous path. Yudhistara is an excellent Executive Director. He is a man of principles and bound by values. He never shirks from the truth.
Bhima is a Manager full of emotional reactions. His focus is always to reach the goal rather than the process of achieving the end result.
Arjuna is an eternal student. Learning is his passion and an ardent devotee of Krishna, the Chief Executive.
Duryodhana is highly skillful but ill equipped with tact. He always used to depend on other’s advises.
Karna is a highly efficient & capable warrior but strongly believes and follows his master Duryodhana and as a result went into a negative path.
Draupadi is a typical character, who always reminded the goal or objective of Pandavas. She is like a Powerhouse and whenever the Pandavas used to relax and compromise she was the one, who used to provoke them by reminding the insults done by the Kauruvas in a full open meeting where all the Pandavas, Kauraas and other seniors were present. Her objective is to destroy the enemies completely.
Abhimanyu is a young and energetic Middle Level Manager but unfortunately, he moves forward without any strategy or an appropriate exit path. In this way, every character in Mahabharata can be translated into the present day corporate cadres. In some universities, lot of research is going on these subjects.Lets delve into deeper understanding of the characters and develop our understanding.
The downfall of the kauravas is the perfect example of corporate hegemony where nepotism and corruption takes precedence over higher moral needs.
