| Abstract | This paper aims at bringing out an analogy between human body and corporate organizations for classical managerial functions, viz. Planning, Organizing, Directing, and Controlling. In human body, every action and response to each stimulus are well planned. It has eleven subsystems, organized into a well structured design and a central directing brain that influences and guides these subsystems to perform in accordance with the plan. A control mechanism in human body minimizes deviations and maintains dynamic equilibrium. This way present analogy visualizes human body as a perfectly planned, organized, directed and controlled system created and sustained by Nature. A SAP–LAP framework of human body organization is also developed to understand the principles and processes behind its perfections. Based on this SAP–LAP model, a number of actions are proposed in this paper that can provide valuable insights for organizations. These insights perhaps can help them in significantly improving their structure and operating procedures, which will enhance the performance of individuals and organizations as a whole. Perhaps the human body is also a perfect example of optimal degree of flexibility in its sub-systems contingent upon their roles and functions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
