Abstract
A quality global organization, of the people, by the people, and for the
people, accentuates the design, nurturing, modification, and extension of the
behavioural and emotional traits of all those in its circle of influence. This
is only possible by synthesis of text and context by taking into account the
shifting paradigms in global practices and varying societal needs. An
engineering paradigm emphasizing ongoing process of holistic thinking,
analytical character of scientific management, and implementation
character of behavioural sciences is described. Embedded higher-order
life, professional, and technical skills in training professionals for a global
organization are enumerated. The professionals so trained distinguish
logic from tradition, tradition from prejudice, prejudice from common
sense, and common sense from nonsense. The paper thrashes out making
and renewal of a global organization comprising quality professionals with
life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness for the people it serves, no matter
what the ethnic make up and location in the world. A course on
Quantitative Analysis and Programming Methods, following this paradigm,
in educating professionals for a global organization, is described.
