Stories of Transformation and Growth have always been fascinating; a staple of B-School case studies. However, not all businesses are amenable to transformation. The syntax of transformation varies in accordance to the situation. This site exhibits Transformation Trivia (under the tab Memorabilia and Trivia), the stories that have been etched out of memory, in addition to my articles and papers.
Ones who were successful / partially successful in their transformation journey: Sylk’s Hotel, Bank of Bombay, Bank of Bengal, Nederlandsch-Indische Handelsbank, Standard Bank of South Africa, Mercantile Bank of India, The Hotz Hotel, National Bank of India, Grindlays Bank, Shaw Wallace, Eastern Bank, Ottoman Bank, and Lloyd Triestino.
Also, the ones who were unsuccessful in their journey: The Agra and The United Service Bank, Port Canning Land Investment Reclamation and Dock Company, Scindia Steam Navigation Company, Broach Industrial Cotton Spinning and Weaving Company, and Great Eastern Tobacco Company.
Feedback to improve the site is welcome.
