Management Control System in Mahabharata
Management Control System is a process of successful implementation of Strategy. It mainly focuses on effective and efficient use of available resources in the organization’s objectives.
“MAHABHARATA”, the greatest epic of all time teaches us how the meticulous implementation of our learning on Management Control Systems (MCS) helped “PANDAVAS” to win the war over “KAURAVAS” in just 18 days.
BACKGROUND:-
* “KAURAVAS” were a congregation of big family structure of 100 brothers and close family members including Duryodhan, Dushasana, sons of the King Dhirtarashtra of Hastinapur and other important players in Bhisma, Drona, Karna, Shakuni, etc. * Whereas “PANDAVAS” were the cousin brothers of Kauravas consisting of five brothers, headed by Yudhistira. They were a closely knitted family with Kunti, the mother of five brothers and Draupadi, wife of all five brothers. * On account of persecution by the Kauravas, the Pandavas left their home and suffered much hardship and pain. The Pandavas improved their country and established their capital at Indraprastha and then performed the horse-sacrifice with great pomp. The Kauravas were also invited there but on seeing the good fortune of the Pandavas, they were overcome with jealousy and resentment. * The Kauravas, headed by the eldest brother Duryodhan, then conspired against the Pandavas with the ill-advice of Shakuni Mama and invited them to gamble and thereby they won all their wealth, kingdom and their person and also insulted and ill-treated their wife, Draupadi, in the presence of all. In the end, it was settled that the Pandavas should go out in exile to the forest for twelve years and pass another year in secrecy and on return from the exile be entitled to get back their lost kingdom. * The Pandavas did all this but on their return the Kauravas refused to return the kingdom. This gave rise to the great family war in which all the Kauravas and the two armies were annihilated and the Pandavas
