An interesting Management Case Study

(5) SWOT Analysis


Kaurav - They converted their strength into weakness as they use to indulge in war with other kingdom which caused both loss of men and creation of enemies.



Pandav - They utilized their exile period in which Arjun acquired Divyastra and Yudhisthira formed the strategy of war by taking teaching from different Gurus. Thus they converted their weakness into strength.



(6) Commitment





Kaurav - There was lack of commitment from Kaurava's .Their main warriors like Bhishma and Dronacharya didn't wanted war and promised not to kill any of the Pandava's. Karna was fighting the war just to be loyal to Duryodhana but wasn't fully involved in the war as he promised not to kill any Pandava except Arjun.


Pandav - Everyone was assigned a role and they did it with their limited capabilities. Abhimanyu and Ghatotkatch sacrificed their life for their team. Both of them contributed a lot as Abhimanyu fought with 7 Maharatis single handed and Ghatotkatch took away half of Kaurava's army with him.
