A Systematic Review on Innovation Factors and Appreciative Intelligence
Get PDFPurpose: Innovation is a critical phenomenon for an organization to be successful and need of the hour for an organization to stay ahead in the competition. Innovation is the result of ‘out of the box thinking’ in an organization and is essential in this competitive world for its survival. Appreciative Intelligence is the way forward to identify the opportunities and to focus on growth. The future foreseen through Appreciative Intelligence can be made successful with the Innovation factors. Although through Appreciative Intelligence the future is foreseen from the present, for economic success Innovation is needed. To beat the competition and to spur economic growth innovation is an essential phenomenon. Innovation is the result of multidimensional complex factors. These factors are both tangible and intangible. Thus it is essential to assess the synergy between the factors which have a significant influence on innovation and appreciative intelligence.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Developing a theoretical concept based on a voluminous literature review and analysis of the result of interaction with the professionals across 12 countries.

The Prodigious Indian Vedic Concepts of Psyche or Mind; a New-fashioned Directive of Mental Health Science to Deal with Labyrinthine Clinical Cases by Amalgamating Indian Psychological Concepts and Principles
Get PDFPurpose: The bulk of psychology practice in India as well as in other parts of the world is influenced by western ideas of psychological health and illness. The importance of theology, civilization, and eastern philosophy, together with healthcare, has been largely disregarded by these prominent psychological ideas throughout the last few years or more. They were also developed predominantly for those having an internal control center. To understand what Indian beliefs could give to psychology, one must understand the old Indian frameworks, or put it differently, the grand Hinduism and its huge repository of intellectual information. In this paper, we mainly examine how Hinduism, Indian traditions, and conventional Indian healthcare methods are applied to research the psyche and psychological well-being.
Objective: This article's main goal is to provide details on psychology as a field from an Indian perspective. These are some of the topics discussed in this study, along with what the aspects of the mind are and what the Indian classics have to say about psychology from a scientific perspective.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Secondary information that was obtained from a variety of reliable and trustworthy publications and websites was used to write this work. To increase the accuracy and authenticity of this document, the data was carefully and scientifically examined by making references to a number of different publications and subtopics. The data was acquired from a variety of trustworthy and respectable sources, including Academia and Google Scholar. Cross-referencing all the data from websites like Academia, Google Scholar, and others revealed that there wasn't a lot of material from different points of view that were included.
Findings/Result: Here, a chance has been taken to succinctly synthesize the core principles of the many schools of Indian thought as they relate to understanding human character and behavioral patterns. The aforementioned makes obvious the enormous amount of understanding and knowledge that is a natural component of Indian theories, which has much more to offer psychology students. The significant therapeutic advantages that each way of thinking autonomously provides are very promising for those who provide psychological treatment. Because of this, Indian psychologists should be adaptable to infusing Indian concepts into our therapy, despite our training in contemporary Western psychological institutions. We must objectively assess the significance of our centuries-old beliefs, especially those related to yoga, meditation, and Indian forms of psychoanalysis and psychotherapies, in order to validate them as well as prevent labeling them as relics of third-world mysticism.
Originality and value: To make this work relevant and palatable to the entire society, independent of one's educational level and career, an innovative and readily accessible complete methodology, and explanation have been developed. The primary goal of this study is to educate the public about certain well-known psychological and other mental health principles found in the Indian system of medicine (Ayurveda), as well as the great Indian epics and their relevance to the present and the future.
