The whole is a sum of parts – when will the UN member states understand this?

IIPM PUBLICATION
The United Nations peacekeeping operations, now underway in Lebanon, offer a big opportunity for the UN to demonstrate its relevance and impact on the world stage in the 21st century. But yes, that’s only if the member states (who claim to be the UN’s biggest supporters) put their money where their mouths lie!

Many world leaders, particularly those in Europe, decry the Bush administration’s undermining of the UN, especially since 2003. Yet leaders in France, who expressed their anger when the US sidestepped the UN and invaded Iraq without the international community’s blessing, also lived up to their promise of betrayal when instead of the promised 2,000 peacekeeping force (to intervene in southern Lebanon), they sent just a petty army of 200!

Story About IIPM-The Indian Institute of Planning…

Unprotected. Uncared. Unnoticed

IIPM BEST B-SCHOOL
At an age not old enough to be called adults and at an age not young enough to be called children, the quandary of the juvenile population has been intriguing. Their plight gets compounded by the fact that increasing number of juveniles in India are being associated with delinquent behavior involving personal and social disorganisation.

The Juvenile Justice Act, 1986 defines (after 2000 Amendment) male and female below the age of 18 years, as juveniles. In this susceptible group, the National Crime Record Bureau reports that share of crimes committed by juveniles to total IPC crimes has increased from 0.9% in 2001 to 1.0 % in 2002 & 2003. The same reports also gives a scary analysis of different sections, under which the alleged ‘crimes’ were committed. While arson and kidnapping constituted a significant percentage of the crimes, it were the cases registered under counterfeiting and dacoity that registered a sharp increase of 166.7% and 93.7%, respectively for the years 2002 to 2003. Under Special Local Laws (SLL), the cases registered were more under ‘adult’ sections like Indecent Representation of Women Act and the Explosive Act.

METHODOLOGY Raison d’etre

IIPM PUBLICATION
In total, 17 sectors were identified, namely, agriculture, capital goods, consumer durables, textiles, FMCG, banking, telecom, healthcare, housing-related, IT, media & publishing, metal & mining, oil & gas, power, transport equipment, chemicals & petrochemicals and other diversified. Subsequently, the B&E ranking used authenticated and published parameters that credibly reflected the actual profitability figures of the corporations being considered. For records, the parameters taken into consideration were Cash EPS (Earning Per Share), adjusted ROCE (Return on Capital Employed), ROA (Return on Assets) and market capitalisation. The absolute figures for the past three financial years were taken into account, thereby, discounting down the effects of any windfall gains or abrupt losses that companies may have had in the recent short term.

95%! That’s their market share!

IIPM BEST B-SCHOOL
Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL), a wholly owned company of the Indian government and the youngest Navratna company, was established in August 1984. It happens to be the sole behemoth in gas transmission & marketing in India, while being counted among the best oil majors in India as well. From those days of being a 100% equity holder, the government has considerably reduced their controls, with a much less current share ownership of 67%. The company has a wide array of activities, which includes transmission, distribution and marketing of LPGs, liquid hydrocarbons and petrochemicals.

With International Data Corporation declaring that the worldwide IT spends would surge by 7.2% CAGR (from $1,384 billion in 2004 to $1,964 billion in 2009), India surely is set to grow even beyond what has been forecast previously. An amazing 58% was the overall share of India in the penetrated IT market in FY05; and this given the fact that the subcontinent’s share in IT services global sourcing surged from 62% in 2001 to 65% in 2005; and in the ITeS-BPO segment, the figure for the same period rose from 39% to 46%. India was ranked at the top in the AT Kearney Global Services Location Index Study in 2005 that was taken out to compare 40 different sourcing destinations across the globe. Given the depth in the service offerings and the cost advantage, India is right on track to augment its leadership.

Who is the real hero ?

IIPM BEST B-SCHOOL
As Dipali Shah, VP, Planman Media enunciates, “Clearly, with a majority of players delivering good to great performances even in the current financial year, and with the market growing overall, the question becomes louder as to why is Hero Honda failing to increase its market share, despite being a ponderous number one.” Janish Shah, Head of Research, Networth Stock Broking, argues, “The major difference is in the product offering. On the technology front, Bajaj is the clear cut leader and is well accepted by customers; but on the other hand, Hero Honda has failed to deliver a strong product at the executive end of the market, which is growing at a sonic speed and is dominated by Bajaj.” Words that might be questioned by even industry experts, but strong views nevertheless!

They’re going great guns, yet there’s a need to carve a distinct identity

“The company is focussed on creating innovation-led opportunities across all its global initiatives,” enthuses Asif, highlighting the company’s drive. The company is also the second in the world to have received the ISO 27001:2005 accreditation, which is supposedly the ultimate benchmark for information security.

To keep its human assets motivated, Cranes has recently introduced an ESOP plan for select employees. Asif believes that “this will further enhance the spirit of entrepreneurship that runs deep at Cranes and instil a feeling of ownership amongst our employees.” Cranes Software has merged with its subsidiary EMRC India and also EMRC’s US operations, which have largely been instrumental in designing Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) products.

Even today, advertisers obsession with slim women has not changed. Unnaturally and unhealthily thin models are fast becoming the role models of young girls. No wonder, most of them suffer from eating disorders. Of all the people suffering from eating disorders like bulimia and anorexia, 90% are girls. The ultrathin, airbrushed images of women with flawless skins and perfect figures have resulted in almost 66% of women having a low self-esteem about themselves. The ads have changed the way society views beauty. Women, today, are being objectified and almost victimized by having to live up to ideal (and impossible) standards.
