...INTRODUCTION: Chanakya was an Indian teacher, philosopher and royal advisor. Originally a professor of economics and political science at the ancient Takshashila University, Chanakya managed the first Maurya Emperor Chandragupta's rise to power at a young age. He is widely credited for having played an important role in the establishment of the Maurya Empire, which was the first empire in archaeologically recorded history to rule most of the Indian subcontinent. Chanakya served as the chief advisor to both Chandragupta and his son Bindusara. Chanakya is traditionally identified as Kautilya or Vishnu Gupta, who authored the ancient Indian political treatise called Arthasastra. As such, he is considered as the pioneer of the field of economics and political science in India, and his work is thought of as an important precursor to Classical Economics. Chanakya is often called the "Indian Machiavelli", although his works predate Machiavelli's by about 1,800 years. His works were lost near the end of the Gupta dynasty and not rediscovered until 1915. Chanakya’s Education Rishi Canak named his son as “Chanakya”. Being a teacher himself, he knew the importance of education. Taxila was one of the world centres for education. At a very early age little Chanakya started studying Vedas. The Vedas; considered to be the toughest scriptures to study were completely studied and memorized by Chanakya in his infancy. He was attracted to studies in politics. In politics Chanakya’s acumen and...

...organizational culture conquered by creativity and innovation, organizations must effectively identify to maximize all creative wealth of their members, develop creative leaders and management teams and provide a kind of work environment that is highly supportive of creative expression. The focus on this paper is to examine the ways to foster creativity in decision-making since it can easily be seen and understood that fostering creativity is not an easy task as there are no easy formulas to make creativity happen. Introduction Creativity is significant in management research (Shalley et al., 2004) and it is well defined as the production of novel ideas, which are not only unique but also useful. They are deemed to be useful when “they have potential for direct or indirect value to the organization, either in the short or long-term” (Shalley et al., 2004). Ideas can always be generated by anyone, and are either a part of an individual’s job, or viewed as a valued extra-role behavior in low creativity required job tasks, for example in production workers (Unsworth, 2001). A significant gap may exist between the level of individual creative potential and the actual amount of individual creativity practiced within the organization, especially if organizational members perceive their working...
