Saare Jahan Se Achcha

Isn’t it true that the hugely popular Saare Jahan Se Achcha was authored by Sir Allama Muhammad Iqbal, who subsequently became Pakistan’s national poet? So, I ask, should we impose a ban on that as well?! The bottom-line is that patriotism can neither be shoved down anyone’s throat, nor is reciting a national song or anthem or flying a flag on Independence Day necessarily a testimonial manifestation of worship for one’s country.

MODERN STRATEGY

Despite the buoyancy, India Inc. has made its share of mistakes. One of them was HLL’s takeover of Modern Foods in 2000. Some like Samarjit Singh, MD of Candid Marketing, call the MNC’s acquisition of the PSU, a ‘cultural mismatch’ and others even went down claiming HLL had put the ailing Modern Foods business up for sale. But, not any more. HLL has decided to merge Modern Foods (till now a wholly owned subsidiary) with itself, effective October 1. The next step is probably to restructure the operations of Modern Foods.

BUSINESS BEYOND BOUNDARIES

Not only has the Swedish culture stood out of its small geographic boundaries, but also its economy, which never misses an opportunity to justify the prospects it holds for investors. Having developed its competence in technology and a well developed network infrastructure, Sweden has shown rising growth rates even at times when Europe was facing downturn. The economy recorded its highest growth in past six years during the second quarter of 2006, with a GDP growth of 5.5% as compared to same period last year (Central Statistical Bureau).

Profitable & Unprofitable Customers

But understanding where your customers fall on the NPS, and separating each group into profitable & unprofitable customers, will also help. High-profit promoters love to do business with you. They should be your top long-term priority for strategic investment & innovation. However, they are oft en taken for granted. Inadvertently, companies end up milking profitable promoters to fund solutions for less profitable ones. In the 1980s, American Express took healthy profits from its core travel-card business to get into financial services. Margins from high-volume card customers subsidized new customer acquisitions in the new business. Predictably, the company’s growth and profits tailed off – till it revitalized compelling propositions for core customers.

IT’S A IT’S A HOME HOME RUN RUN

In this cold, callous world, where the markets are plummeting and economies are wobbling, is there anything that offers risk free returns? Now one would argue that risk is a universal truth and one cannot do away with it; even the superlatively secure government bonds have risk (albeit marginal) attached to them. Real estate, however, is a sector that has the nod from even the most pessimistic of investors today. K. P. Singh, Chairman, DLF, along with countless others who uncovered treasure troves with land bought for dirt cheap prices, few years ago, will proudly vouch for this. Consequently, investor sentiment would hardly be dampened this festive season by the successive interest rate hikes in early 2006.

THE DOMESTIC MULLAHS

Home-grown prêt-a-porter players are trying their level best to outplay each other and are hunching over their drawing boards to chalk out success plans for the Navratras. “Every year, this is the time when the industry generates maximum revenues,” says D. K. Nair, Secretary General, CITI. No doubt this is a busy time for the textile titans. Affirms Vivek Hinduja, CEO Marketing, Gokaldas Exports which has Adidas & Nike as clients, “We are receiving huge orders from our retail clients and we are focusing on them.” Enticing the denizens of Mars for decades with its finest offerings, Raymond Ltd. is aggressively marketing and distributing its products this season.

DELL

The problem that has been detected with these batteries hints at a certain metal contamination within the battery packs. Excessive pressure exerted causes the metal to perforate the insulation, giving way to a short thereby overheating the battery. In exceptional cases, shorts can result in fires. The recall involving batteries fabricated by Sony Corp. could cost the company about $400 million. As part of the damage control measures, Dell has already made a special website giving details of faulty batteries. The defamed list of notebook PCs includes models from the Latitude Series; the Inspiron Series; the XPS Series and the Precision Series. The recall has been recorded as the largest ever in the history of the consumer electronics industry. It’ll certainly deter the efforts of both companies to build back the demand for their products.
