The Karanavar’s Daughter - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Karanavar’s Daughter is a novel about a hundred-year-old family spice house on the Malabar coast and the daughter who comes home to bury her father and finds she cannot leave. As a foreign buyer circles, a debt comes due, and the people who actually run the company stand to lose the most, Parvathy Menon has to learn what it means to lead an organization made of real people rather than a chart. The story moves through a single Kerala year, from the dry heat before the monsoon to the harvest, and carries inside it, without ever pausing to explain itself, the everyday human forces that decide whether any company lives or dies: how people read one another, why good groups make bad decisions, where authority truly comes from, what holds workers to a firm, and how two cultures can want the same thing and still misunderstand each other completely. It is written to be read for the story alone, and it also serves as a teaching novel for students and instructors of organizational behavior, leadership, and cross-cultural management anywhere in the world.
