The concept of 'learning' in English language is not in Gujarati or any other language. Learning alone is not the main purpose of learning. The term learning in English includes intelligence, logical reasoning, memorization, recollection, acquiring new skills, assimilating knowledge, unlearning, acquiring new knowledge or information, etc. Which is called the cognitive characteristic of a person. Learning cannot be seen or touched while behavior can be seen and measured. Of course intelligence can be measured and its index has also been formed by psychologists (IQ) but its measurement is questionable as intelligence quotient is also culture-bound.

Society of Gnaniks: A society of Gnaniks has emerged in the 21st century. Mental power is taking the place of muscularity so the importance of mental power (cognitive abilities) has increased in the field of management rather than muscle power. Innovation has replaced productivity and efficiency in the field of management. Concepts of organization culture and leadership and motivation have become central to management. Requires both theory and practice. Successful management requires both theory and practice.

Check the reality: Since management is the main practice, they have to keep themselves up to date. Below are some rules that are useful to managers. It is not called principles but rules of thumb. These theories are empirical but not experimentally proven.

Four types of learning: There are four types of knowledge. Narhu-urcha, Narhu-rru, Narhu-rura and creativity i.e. Narhu-hu.

Narhu-urcha means what you have gained and gained knowledge about which reflects your subject. This is called the field of knowledge.

Narhu-ru means whether you know the techniques of the subject on which you have acquired knowledge or not.

Narhu-ura means your knowledge of work-cause relationships that support your knowledge like a scientist. This is the basic foundation of the scientific method.

Narhu-hiu means your creative powers, the knowledge you have created yourself. It stems from your self-motivation. Not from books. Your last type of knowledge must have passed a scientific test. If not, your new knowledge is just a fantasy or a novel. Below are some handy rules that are useful to management.

Rule 50-60: In many parts of the world, it has been observed that 80% of the employees of the company work for 90% of the company while 40% of the people work for only 30%. Because they are lazy or unmotivated. Similarly, in many parts of the world, 80 percent of the population has 40 percent of the gross national income (or wealth), while the remaining 50 percent has only 20 percent of the gross national income (or wealth). Many examples of 30/50 can be given.

Auspicious Chakra Concept: Auspicious Chakra arises in many companies, families or nations. If your parents are well-educated, so are you. You take a professional degree or you start a business and when you succeed in it you give higher education to your children with great love and therefore they also give higher education to their children. If a company succeeds, it spends a lot of money in R&D and because of this the company invents new and successful products and this new product makes it more profitable. Thus the auspicious cycle continues.

The concept of the vicious cycle: If the head of the family is addicted and spends a lot of money on it, then the children will fall. These children slip into depression due to not coming high in life and then it starts to decline. Companies get caught up in a vicious cycle of lack of good management and then shut down. The skill of a good manager is to turn the vicious cycle into a vicious cycle.

Shifting the Burden's Rule: Proving short-term solutions to long-term issues can lead to your company sinking. If the company reduces the quality of the goods to cover its losses, it may gain in the short run and save costs but in the long run the company loses its credibility in the market. Some companies hire a very general manager with a low salary to handle short term issues. The company saves costs in the short run but in the long run the company goes bankrupt.

The habit of reducing goals or objectives: Instead of daring to face certain difficulties boldly, some companies reduce their goals and then new goals which are incomplete become the main goals of the company.

Tragedy of the Commons: People take full advantage of what is free. E.g. The pastoralists make the free Chaniyara area in the village miserable, we have got the environment for free. (Oxygen is free) then companies misuse it so much that the pollution of the atmosphere becomes unbearable.

Rule of escalation: Escalation means growing regularly. Marcus Race is a perfect example of this in the world. China is overwhelmed by the fact that the United States is increasing its nuclear arsenal. Seeing China's increased weapons stockpile, the US is increasing its stockpile again - this is what China is doing. This is called escalation which is a part of the vicious cycle. The vicious cycle of escalation is also going on between India and Pakistan. When companies wage a price war, they reduce the prices of their products in competition with each other so much that all the competing companies go into liquidation.
