“learning organisation” and change management. He concluded his speech by quoting a well-known poet and
philosopher, Ralph Waldo Emerson, “If you plant a thought, you will harvest an action; if you plant an action, you will

destiny.” Prof. M. Chandrasekhar, Director of IIM Visakhapatnam, also addressed the attendees and emphasised the
