Chanakya - the oriental doctrine creator, the modern management 'guru': an examination of the context
The modern world corporate management and corporate governance is dominated by the theories and practices of the US management system, Japanese management system and European management system. The Japanese have established the dynamics of human capital and knowledge management as the best practices for any organisation. The soundness of Japanese management is derived from its treasure. European and the US management system are known for their contributions in the industrialisation process of the world in the 19th and 20th centuries in the pre and post colonialism era. Indian oriental texts, gospels, practices, concepts, doctrines and arguments through logic are the sources of many Japanese management philosophies. India is a store house of pragmatic management and flawless applications in its ancient history phases. Proved and applied management of Chanakya during the Maurya Dynasty is historically evident as the best ever management practice India has followed. Arthasastra and Chanakya Sutras are the two gospels of Indian management, enough to establish (IMS) the Indian management system for the modern corporate world of 21st century.

Corporations and the Market for Law
The state competition for corporate law has long been studied as a distinct phenomenon. Under the traditional view, corporations are subject to a unique choice-of-law rule, the internal affairs doctrine (IAD). This rule is explained as a historical accident, or by the special logistics of the corporate contract. The resulting market for corporate law appears to have special characteristics, particularly including the dominance by the single state of Delaware. This paper challenges the traditional view. It shows that the corporate law market is best understood as a special application of the general market for law. Any differences are matters of degree rather than kind, and are explained by considerations underlying enforcement of all choice-of-law contracts rather than by factors unique to corporations. It follows that theories of corporate competition that ignore the broader law market context are incomplete, and that the competition for corporate law carries lessons for the law market generally. Moreover, the connection between the corporate and other law markets has implications for the nature of corporate law, the constitutional status of the IAD, the scope of the IAD, and for the relationship between state and federal law.
