ARTHASHASTRA – Lessons for Management Theory and Practice by Dr. Anil M. Naik (a

Mumbai based Management Consultant).

Arthashastra, the treatise on Economic Administration was written by Kautilya in

the 4th century B.C. Kautilya wrote this treatise for his swamy (the king)

Chandragupta Maurya and stated in its preface that it has been written as a

guide for “those who govern”. It is interesting to observe that several

concepts of present day management theories have been explicitly explained by

Kautilya in his work. As in the present day management, the importance of

vision, mission and motivation was captured in Arthashastra. Kautilya advise

his swamy to rule through Prabhu Shakti (vision), Mantra Shakti (mission) and

Utsah Sahkti (motivation). Kautilya’s concept of the objectives of a king seem

to be virtually adopted by Peter Drucker in his book, Managing For Results.

Drucker proposed Economic Performance as corporate objective and highlighted

the constituents of Economic Performance.'
