Book Review: 21 Success Sutras for Leaders by M.S. Rao

(excerpt) Professor M. S. Rao’s 21 Success Sutras for Leaders (“Success Sutras”) offers keen, managerial insight into the benefits of learning from the experiences of others — whether disadvantageous, banal, or extremely useful. Acclaimed as an international, authoritative resource on leadership, Success Sutras equips the reader with 21 leadership tools and techniques designed to minimize mistakes and maximize leadership effectiveness. Its 22 chapters and 176 pages provide examples and illustrations of international leaders and their respective styles of principled leadership paradigms

Stability of Scheduled Multi-access Communication over Quasi-static Flat Fading Channels with Random Coding and Independent Decoding

The stability of scheduled multiaccess communication with random coding and independent decoding of messages is investigated. The number of messages that may be scheduled for simultaneous transmission is limited to a given maximum value, and the channels from transmitters to receiver are quasi-static, flat, and have independent fades. Requests for message transmissions are assumed to arrive according to an i.i.d. arrival process. Then, we show the following: (1) in the limit of large message alphabet size, the stability region has an interference limited information-theoretic capacity interpretation, (2) state-independent scheduling policies achieve this asymptotic stability region, and (3) in the asymptotic limit corresponding to immediate access, the stability region for non-idling scheduling policies is shown to be identical irrespective of received signal powers.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure, To be presented at 2005 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory, corrected versio

Stability of Scheduled Message Communication over Degraded Broadcast Channels

We consider scheduled message communication over a discrete memoryless degraded broadcast channel. The framework we consider here models both the random message arrivals and the subsequent reliable communication by suitably combining techniques from queueing theory and information theory. The channel from the transmitter to each of the receivers is quasi-static, flat, and with independent fades across the receivers. Requests for message transmissions are assumed to arrive according to an i.i.d. arrival process. Then, (i) we derive an outer bound to the region of message arrival vectors achievable by the class of stationary scheduling policies, (ii) we show for any message arrival vector that satisfies the outerbound, that there exists a stationary ``state-independent'' policy that results in a stable system for the corresponding message arrival process, and (iii) under two asymptotic regimes, we show that the stability region of nat arrival rate vectors has information-theoretic capacity region interpretation.Comment: 5 pages, Submitted to 2006 International Symposium on Information Theor

Rational Dialogues and Its Constructive Social-Cultural Functions

One of the tools that human civilizations use today to understand each other and resolve misunderstandings is dialogue. Dialogue can reduce social distances and bridge human and cultural gaps. In this research, the social and path-opening functions of dialogue as a bridge between social, political and cultural groups have been discussed. Dialogue is a dynamic process, which has two aspects of collective and social nature. Also, with the logic of dialogue and the method of conversation, it is possible to create a bridge over social, political and ethnic gaps and connect people and groups together. The purpose of writing this article is to explain and describe the functions of dialogue, whether it is possible to fill the social, gender, cultural and cognitive gaps in a society with this method. Today\u27s democratic political systems use dialogue as a communication and cognitive bridge between themselves and the nations. Because there are many similarities between bridge and dialogue, which are also discussed in this article. Due to the fact that dialogue has a collective nature and gathering character, this research with a survey method seeks to know the importance, position and role of dialogue in reducing conflicts in social and cultural relationships. The question is, can this collective character and collection of dialogue prevent the separation and division of people and social groups and reduce misunderstandings towards each other. In addition to the theoretical part of this article, a descriptive-analytical method has been used by distributing the questionnaire. The statistical population of Badakhshan University is considered. The findings of this research indicate that dialogue is one of the appropriate ways to connect social division in a society. Based on the findings, dialogue is like a bridge, which can fill and connect social, linguistic, cultural, ethnic and political gaps. (80%) of the sample population considered the role and importance of dialogue in reducing social misunderstandings, preventing violent social, linguistic and ethnic conflicts
