- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This is one of the worst management books that I have read. The authors attempted to jump on the bandwagon of westerners looking at Indian innovation. They have got the concept of 'jugaad' all wrong. What ails India is the 'jugaad' mentality, which is a low-cost fix! Aimed at short term fixes, and the problem with 'jugaad' in a corporate set up, is that you lose focus on excellence.The authors would do well not to rehash concepts they do not understand, pepper them with anecdotes of meetings with so called "gurus', and create a poorly written book.
