Management Notes

I have created them over time in many iterations. I am publishing all of them but I will mention which ones are good and which all you can skip. However, note that these comments will be my personal opinion so use your discretion widely.

Besides, I think instead of my notes, my solved PYQs are much better for reference. Also, as per my observation if you do last 10 years papers, you can easily get 250+ marks. (I did 2016-20)

Special thanks to Bhavya Verma Sir (Rank 188, CSE 2015) whose notes I had extensively used in preparation. (Sir’s complete notes).

I have also used HRM notes from Bushra Bano Ma’am‘s Youtube video series. (Rank 277, CSE 2018)

First of all, please read the syllabus, probably the second most important thing after PYQs

Paper I

Managerial Functions and Process

My notes (Use these notes to create your own crisp notes. You can skip the book reading and instead read with Bhavya Sir’s notes)

Bhavya Verma Sir’s notes (Part 1, Part 2)

Organisational Behaviour and Design

My notes (Part 1 , Part 2) , largely based on Bhavya Verma Sir’s notes, just more colorful and refined. I think these are already concise and probably my best notes

Initial notes

Human Resource Management my notes based on Ashwathappa book. However, I created notes from video series of Bushra Bano Ma’am and I think they are more crisp and better.

Accounting for Managers one of my weakest areas, I will suggest not to use my notes, not of any use. Instead look at my PYQs they will be useful. But still adding link

Instead check out Bhavya Sir’s notes, though I haven’t used them

Financial Management again I did read Prasanna by marking important topics, but low relevance of my long notes instead check my PYQs or Bhavya Sir’s notes in accounting

Marketing Management use my notes to make your own crisp notes. Its based on Kotler

Paper II

Quantitative Techniques in Decision Making Though notes are not very useful but still mentioning them.

Initial version, Refined crisper version (Part 1, Part 2) avoid these

Certain sectional notes can be used Index numbers (from NCERT), LPP (ignore the sensitivity part in this doc, i have done it using Simplex but in UPSC only graphical is sufficient; I have done this part from G. Srinivasan Sir’s NPTEL videos), Sensitivity analysis

I had also created a formula cheat sheet , this could be really handy.

Production and Operations Management created some notes but again not very useful

Initial version, Refined version (Part 1, Part 2) avoid these

MRP could be used

Formula cheat sheet is really handy

Management Information System not very useful

Initial version, final version

Government Business Interface didn’t prepare many notes

Two notes from NCERTs – CSR, Entrepreneurship

Strategic Cost Management Check Bhavya Verma Sir’s notes prepared from there

Useful article that I found online

Strategic Intent should be read from original article of CK Prahlad

International Business not very good

Business Studies XI NCERT notes

Current Affairs

Management examples from current affairs

I prepared it from youtube and podcasts, largely from Finshots , but don’t think I used any example in final example.

My complete Google docs notes, they are already listed topic wise above.

Besides I was also preparing an overall summary notes but could not complete.
