Remembering the great Strategy Guru – C.K.Prahalad (8th August 1941 – 16th April 2010)

The Great Management Guru in Corporate Strategy – Coimbatore Krishnarao Prahalad – was by no means an ordinary man. He was consulted by the top management of many of the world’s foremost companies and held the role of management thinker in large, diversified, multinational corporations. He had the depth and range of knowledge that he commanded utmost respect by the captains of the industry.

He was a greater thinker who talked of things big and small. He looked at the population as a positive thing and the bottom of pyramid as an opportunity in his path breaking book The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid. He advised companies to look at the poor as potential customers. His thoughts were always out-of-the-box and he had the optimism that India can become a world-class market. In 2009, he was conferred Padma Bhushan by the Govt of India.

C.K.Prahalad completed his post-graduation from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. He gained a Doctor of Business Administration degree from the Harvard Business School. He was working as a Distinguished University Professor at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business in the University of Michigan when he died of a previously undiagnosed lung illness in San Diego on April 16^th.

C.K.Prahalad has consistently been among the top ten management thinkers in every major survey for over ten years. He was one of the most influential thinkers on business strategy. His work on The Core Competence of the Corporation has undoubtedly been his gift to the world. He recommended companies to focus on those capabilities that give them the competitive advantage, also called core competencies.

Talking about India, he advocated transparency and accountability, need for employment generation and growth of the private sector. He suggested that the strategy in India should be adapted according to its requirements and not imported from the west. His winning strategies have become rule book for a whole generation of students and executives.

What was unique about Prahalad was that he was an interesting combination of an academic and a practitioner. The word ‘Guru’ denotes certain level of wisdom, achievement conferred to those who are worthy of it, unspoken and understood.

FIFA fever in South Africa

It is indeed the 8th wonder of the world, that an entire nation can be gripped by a fever so severe and so furious – that the people afflicted with it become totally oblivious to the existence of routine, mundane things, and even ignores all those things that they once loved with all their hearts. FIFA World Cup 2010 is the name of the fever – and its intensity is such that anyone and everyone, with access to a TV or even a mobile phone or newspaper, are glued on to it. Chain mails, all instructing wives and girlfriends to put up with brutish, selfish behaviour of their partners over the TV for a month are being circulated, employees in offices sneakily use their proxy server to access the Internet and check the score – and text the results to their bosses. Teenage kids have postponed all their games and other activities. A privileged few, have taken a month off, and have actually flown down to South Africa to witness the great event live.

FIFA – stands for Federation for International Football Association was formed on 21st May, 1904 in the romantic city of Paris, when it had become evident that an international body was necessary to oversee the sport that was taking over the world. The founding members were Belgium, France, The Netherlands, France, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Soon, all other nations joined the bandwagon, and now, FIFA is one of the world’s largest known associations with 208 member countries. FIFA has survived through 2 world wars, when the confidence on its continued existence seemed most shaky. FIFA works on Swiss laws and its headquarters are at Zurich.

The most unique aspect of FIFA is that unlike other tournaments, the players here represent a particular country, rather than a league. It gives a chance to amateurs to showcase their talent and establish themselves. FIFA is also extremely well known for its upsets – the most famous being France losing to Italy in the last FIFA cup, when a key French player lost his temper and head-butted an opponent on International camera. FIFA 2010 is already playing up to this tune – Spain lost miserably to Switzerland a few days ago, much to the disappointment and shock of the viewers.

The key element here is that FIFA is one of the most celebrated sporting events in India – even when India’s own team stopped being qualified long ago. No one even seems to remember now, that an International cricket tournament by the name Asia Cup is being held, and nobody seems to care either. Is it because cricket in India has been so over marketed, that viewers are gladly jumping at any change that comes by? Or is it because unacknowledged by the Indian government and businessmen in the field of sports, there is a market for football in India too? Perhaps it’s time that they start taking football seriously.

Politics over Bhopal Gas Tragedy and Warren Anderson

United States of America is willing to spend billions, sacrifice many innocent lives, break international laws and dole out summary justice in the pursuit of their misguided 'war on terror'. However if you are a rich American ultimately responsible for the death of more than 20,000 poor people in far off India, you can expect a life of luxury safe from the long arm of the US law.

Warren Anderson, Union Carbide CEO at the time of the world's worst industrial disaster in Bhopal, India, lives a life of luxury in New York State. Anderson has been hiding in the US since an explosion at his company's plant in Bhopal caused the immediate deaths of thousands of people and led to life long suffering for almost 120,000 survivors.

On the night of the disaster, December 3, 1984, an explosion at Union Carbide's pesticide plant caused 40 tonnes of lethal gas to seep into Bhopal. Six safety measures designed to prevent a gas leak had either malfunctioned, were turned off or were otherwise inadequate. In addition, the safety siren, intended to alert the community should an incident occur at the plant, was turned off.

As the Union Carbide boss, Anderson knew about a 1982 safety audit of the Bhopal plant, which identified 30 major hazards. Rather than fix them in Bhopal, only the company's identical plant in the US was fixed. Neglecting these hazards in Bhopal caused the deadly explosion. Anderson flew to India after the disaster but to the company's surprise, police investigating the disaster immediately arrested him. He subsequently jumped bail and was flow by private jet back to the US, never to return to India.

While fleeing the law in India his company abandoned the polluted factory site allowing it to poison Bhopal residents for 18 years. He did not disclose the composition of the poisonous gas (the company still claims this is a trade secret), thus preventing doctors from properly treating the 120,000 people who are still sick. Company lawyers ensured survivors only got between US$300-500 compensation each, if they were 'lucky', for their ruined lives. Dow Chemical took over Union Carbide in 2001 but it claims Union Carbide has 'settled' the issue of Bhopal.

The political battle over Bhopal Gas tragedy, Union Carbide Corporation and Warren Anderson's exit from India has been intensified again. The Congress seems to be on defensive over this issue. Because according to the media, PC Alexander, the principal secretary to Rajiv Gandhi has hinted that former PM Rajiv Gandhi and then Madhya Pradesh CM Arjun Singh discussed several issues, including the release of Warren Anderson.

The Congress denied the allegations and asked not to drag Rajiv Gandhi into this controversy. However, it remained silent on the question how Anderson escaped from India without the help of the state government and Centre. Also Madhya Pradesh' Urban Administration and Development Minister Babulal Gaur alleged that Union Carbide had paid Rs 1.5 lakh to a NGO headed by Arjun Singh's son soon after the Bhopal Gas tragedy.

Reports coming from the US suggested that the American government may consider the plea, if India seeks extradition of Warren Anderson. It would be interesting to see how the government reacts to the situation. Will justice be finally done?

Small investment to start with

Investment options chosen by an investor depends upon the risk taking aptitude, the kind of investment, the maturity period, the rate of return, etc. Depending on the level and type of investment, you get returns.

To start with a low investment, you can invest in mutual funds where you can start investing with as low an amount as Rs.500 but achieve diversification of the stocks and also your investment gets managed by Asset Management Company (AMC). Mutual funds are considered to be safe investments and give you moderate-good returns.

All you wanted to know about 3G

If all you were hearing from the past days were about “Spectrum”, “3G auctions”, etc and wondering if someone could explain what the sciences involved are, then here we are to give you details of all you wanted to know about 3G.

Let’s talk about what is spectrum in mobile technology. When we use our cell phones, our voices are transformed into a stream of zeroes and ones, which then travels hundreds of kilometres over radio waves and reach the person on the other end of the phone. This is referred to as the spectrum of waves. Now when 550 million Indians use the cell phone at the same time, then the radio waves jostle for space.

What is meant by 3G? This is the Third Generation of telephony services. The first generation was sending text over air waves, like on pagers. The second generation now is about sending both voice and SMS messages over the air. To perform all those things on the mobile that can be done on a laptop using internet comprises the 3G features. To do all that, the telecom operators need more radio waves than what they already have.

The radio waves are strictly controlled by the government. The microwaves in our kitchens, the TV programmes, military cantonments, etc use a different set of radio frequencies. Lot of spare frequency is left with radio waves dedicated for defense use being replaced with underground cable network. So, these unused radio waves would be bought by telecom operators to perform 3G operations.

The auction of 3G mobile license ended with RCom, Bharti, and Aircel bagging 13 circles each and which leaves the government with a Rs.67,710 crore revenue windfall. The revenue mop up will help the government cut its fiscal deficit to nearly 4.9% from 5.5% of GDP projected in the budget. No single operator could bag a pan-India license. Key circles Mumbai and Delhi went to Bharti, Vodafone, and RCom.

Just as India gets set to herald an era of 3G telecom markets, the world is bracing for the next generation 4G technology. Nearly 132 countries across the world already have 3G technologies in one form or the other.

Should India have bypassed 3G and leapfrogged to next-gen 4G?

4G mobile broadband services, also known as Long Term Evolution (LTE) are designed for services such as high-speed internet, multimedia services like TV broadcasting, high definition video conferencing, and even online gaming. Countries like US and Japan have started initiatives to move towards 4G technology.

Both the technologies are focussed on ramping up internet data usage but at a different speed. LTE’s speed is more than 3 times faster than wimax’s technology along with compatibility with older phone models. Compared to 3Mbps speed offered by 3G services, LTE can offer speeds up to 10 Mbps.

The telecom regulator TRAI has already floated the pre-consultation paper on 4G even as 3G slots are being auctioned. With the Indian markets being primarily led by voice services, the demand for premium services led by 3G could be hit until subscribers are game for higher value-added services.
