Research Interests

My research has been in understanding asymmetries in human actions and the antecedent issues of control and freedom. The key assumption of this analysis has been all human actions are either asymmetry generating actions or asymmetry reduction actions.

The prime theme that forms the basis for these research issues has been Sustainability. Arising out of this perspective, my research works have been on contextual understanding of traditional firm design, growth of multinational enterprises, institutional issues, globalization and control, efficiency, and optimal enterprise system design criteria for long-term sustainability in a real world context.

I am currently engaged in issues relating to simultaneous optimization of organizational design and institutional design for sustainability of rural agricultural communities. The toughest research area has been the "Transition Strategies" from the paradigm of competition to the paradigm of cooperation. Although, I enjoy engaging in multiple research methodologies, my prime methodological interest has evolved to Action Research methodology.
