Four Seasons Hotel, (Istanbul)

The Most Revolutionary Concept In Education PLANMAN CHE CENTRE FOR HIGHER EDUCATION, Supported by IIPM India’s Leading B-School

Situated in Sultanahmet, this hotel has been converted from a century-old neo-classical Turkish prison, which was first constructed between 1918 and 1919. With close proximity to the mosques, one can clearly hear the prayers and soak in the mood of the region. The hotel, which has a limited capacity of 65 guest rooms and suites, resonates with the beauty of Turkish architecture.

The view: Decorated with unique interiors, the hotel acquaints one with the true essence of rich Turkish history from its every corner. Built around courtyards, all rooms and suites offer a stunning view reminiscent of the old world charm.

Archi type: The interior of the hotel is artistically done with the originality of the building being untouched. The hotel has also retained the neoclassical prison’s wooden door. Besides, the hotel is done-up with Ottoman tapestries and mosaic art. Most interestingly, the headboards and bedposts of the rooms are such that it would remind one of a mosque’s domes and minarets.

Money would continue to play a crucial role before or after elections

Money is increasingly becoming an indispensable proposition when it comes to influencing voters in election s anywhere in the world. Even in developing countries like India, where fiscal deficit is a norm, a gigantic Rs.10,000 crore is estimated to be spent during the election this time. One wonders what could have been done by this money if at all the political parties were serious about bringing in development.

Researches show that the two highest spenders in election are the US and Canada. While Canada spent over $300 million in 2008, the US spent over $5.3 billion in the 2008 US presidential election. Collectively all parties in the US raised over $1.64 billion while the US President Barack Obama alone had raised $532 million which adds up to $7.39 per vote. And mind you, a large chunk of money raised by Obama was a result of small donations received from Obama’s fans and not from big fat corporate donations. Even Nigerians understood the mystery behind the politics of money and allowed its Stock Exchange to allocate $630,000 to influence the US election. This bluntly ignored the US election rule that prohibits political parties from receiving contributions from abroad. The domestic corporates were not far behind. The McCain campaign finance is a case in point. However there is very little connection between money spent and voters’ turnout. Huge expenditure does not guarantee high turn-out. Even after spending millions of dollars, the Canadian election saw a merely 59% voter turnout in 2008!! Yet collection of donations for election continues to be a major business. For, if not in buying votes during elections, who knows it might help in buying the same in the Parliament after elections are over and results are declared.

As far as Infosys goes, the company’s core strategy has been to focus very passionately on high margin accounts, a strategy that can be credited for its sector beating performance. The other aspect is the adage of not putting all your eggs in one basket, due to which the company is not as badly affected by the BFSI debacle. But the recently announced results for the fourth quarter are not positive for the company and the sector in the long term. Infosys has forecast a yoy revenue decline of 8.2-6.5% under IFRS (which considers exchange rates for major global currencies) for FY 2009-10, which depends heavily on exchange rate trends. The rupee is one basket even Infosys cannot avoid, right? The company would also rue losing Axon to HCL, and should be looking for more such targets in the coming year.

First came the slowdown avalanche, they continued climbing... Then came the storm, they climbed further...

Winners show How to beat the pants off your competition in a downturn...

B&E attempts to bring out some key facets of competition beating business strategy in a slowdown by analysing the strategies of Indian companies that are actually doing better than their competition in their respective industries. In selecting our elite list of companies, we have considered the all important benchmark of profitability, both in terms of absolute figures and yoy growth trends, for the nine months ending December 2008 (till figures are available). Apart from one exception in the real estate sector, we find that all these winning companies have posted double digit growth rates in profitability. Now let us analyse what these winners have done in their respective sectors to shine in the current not-so-bright times.

The telecom leader is clearly Bharti Airtel. TRAI may have given it a thumbs down on network congestion (read more about it in the Corporation on Tata Teleservices in this issue), but the company continues to rule the market in terms of subscriber base at 91.1 million (at the end of February 2009). Sunil Bharti Mittal, CMD, Bharti Airtel Limited, said on the performance, “Bharti Airtel continues to lead the telecom growth story, adding customer and revenue market share despite intense competition. Bharti’s strategy of extensive roll out ahead of competition, especially in new villages, has yielded rich dividends.” What also keeps Bharti in the black is the fact that it has leveraged its pioneering advantage to get the cream of customers, which helps it even as telecom ARPUs in general are going down. Dipesh Mehta, telecom analyst, Khandwala Securities, comments, “ARPUs for the company have fallen for the company like other telecom companies, but they have not fallen drastically.” Moreover, the perception of Bharti of being a quality service provider continues to go heavily in its favour. Years of brand building are now bearing fruit.

The automotive sector, on the other hand, has been decisively lead by two wheeler giant Hero Honda. Pawan Munjal, MD & CEO, Hero Honda Motors Ltd. proudly affirms, “An unprecedented share of over 57% in the domestic motorcycle market particularly when the industry has been witnessing a massive slowdown... is reflective of the strong fundamentals of this company.” Being the market leader in the executive segment definitely has its advantages; more so in the era of discretionary spending; and the company sports some best sellers in this segment like the Splendour and the Passion. New product launches like the 150cc Hunk Premium and variants of the Glamour and the CD Deluxe last year are also doing well for the company. Also, the rural push that the company has made over the years seems to be delivering results now. That’s why Hero Honda is gloating over a 10% increase in sales yoy in March, while key competitor Bajaj reported a decline of 14%.

Well, the time has come to take a look behind the blue eyes and rewriting their traits

The Most Revolutionary Concept In Education PLANMAN CHE CENTRE FOR HIGHER EDUCATION, Supported by IIPM India’s Leading B-School

Who says a blue eye is a true eye? Ask Lula!

And it is true that the upper-crust, underwhelming Anglo-Saxon leaders who allowed America’s financial markets to morph into louche casinos, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, were very, very white men with blue eyes. As the Who sang: “No one knows what it’s like to be the bad man, to be the sad man behind blue eyes. No one knows what it’s like to be hated, to be fated to telling only lies.”

Every time Cheney looks into the camera with those ice-blue eyes and says Obama is making us less safe, it sounds as if he’s secretly hoping we do get attacked just to prove his point that Obama is weak, even if he has to go up in smoke, too. (When I double-checked the color of Cheney’s eyes, his daughter Liz Cheney jokingly e-mailed back, “Sorry, but that information is classified.”)

Before Obama, presidents have been more known for blue eyes. The ones with brown eyes, Richard Nixon and LBJ, came a cropper. Throughout history, whether it’s images of Jesus that don’t look Middle Eastern or Barbies who don’t look ethnic, blue eyes and white skin have often been painted as the ideal. Surveys show that people with blue eyes are considered more intelligent, attractive and sociable. A 2007 University of Louisville study concluded that people with blue eyes were better planners and strategic thinkers – superior at things like golf, cross-country running and preparing for exams – while people with brown eyes had better reflexes, making them good at hockey and football.

Likewise, there was always an undercurrent of ethnic nationalism in the Soviet Bloc.

The Most Revolutionary Concept In Education PLANMAN CHE CENTRE FOR HIGHER EDUCATION, Supported by IIPM India’s Leading B-School

In the 1990s, USSR’s disintegration and Germany’s unification were seen by many as the defeat of communism. In essence, it wasn’t just that. It was also the victory of nationalism. Germans wanted to unite again as one by breaking off the shackles of ideological illusions that divided them for nearly half a century. Likewise, there was always an undercurrent of ethnic nationalism in the Soviet Bloc. So the Russians, the Kazakhs, the Uzbeks, the Turkmens, the Georgians, the Armenians, all went their own way to create new nation states. East Europe followed the footsteps with the disintegration of Czechoslovakia and bloodied ethnic splits in Yugoslavia.

Modern history is testimony to the fact that a strong current of fierce nationalism and a certain amount of threat of extermination by an enemy State actually helps nations to grow faster. Taiwan exemplifies that. A nation which has constantly remained under the shadow of a ruthless Chinese invasion, has not only become one of the most technologically advanced nations today, but has also developed a defence force quite capable of giving China reason enough to worry.

Lonely Knight, His experience and leadership will be greatly missed.

Dasgupta’s successor will not find the going very easy

Aleader can be as great as can be, but he cannot ever be larger than his team. That’s exactly where Multi Screen Media’s (MSM) now ex-CEO Kunal Dasgupta faltered. Undoubtedly, Sony grew leaps and bounds in India under his stewardship. But unfortunately, insecurity and the fear of being overshadowed by new blood gripped him so badly that his prime focus shifted (from ensuring the channel’s success) towards chucking out his possible successors.

Dasgupta joined Sony as CFO in 1995 and was promoted as CEO in just three years (in 1998). Over his 14-year-long stint, he build the Sony network from one entertainment channel to a bouquet of six channels. With his visionary leadership, he has not only led Sony but the entire genre. He brought the concept of cricket as entertainment by telecasting it on SETMAX. He started telecasting new movie flicks to get glued eyeballs on weekends. He also managed to displace Zee TV from its number one position in 1999. This time, his weapon was horror show ‘Aahat’. Andy Kaplan, President – International Networks, SPTI acknowledges Kunal’s contribution, “Kunal has played an instrumental role in growing our channels business... His experience and leadership will be greatly missed.”

Leisure, pleasure and an experience of a lifetime, is what Vietnam means for the people who visit this land of heritage, culture, diversity and ubiquitous exquisiteness. In Vietnam, there is no dearth of tourist spots, hotels, heritage sites, ever-inviting beaches and resorts. The Nha Trang city, for example, has been ranked as one of the “Top 100 Best Beach and Bay Cities of the World" by the Forbes and Conde Nast Leisure & Travel Magazines. The Nha Trang Island has one of the best resorts with white sand beaches and azure clear waters. The resort also offers water sports like snorkeling and scuba diving for water enthusiasts. Swimming and boat rides are other favourites. Some foodies also take a boat ride to the nearby fishing village Lang Chai and take a lunch break before exploring the awe-inspiring city. A visit to the Tri Nguyen Aquarium is a must and thereafter one may head out to Hon Mun Island to relax on the beach till the sun kisses goodbye.

#3 – Depreciation Where on one hand, other retailers adjust for depreciation every 15 years, Shoppers Stop readjusts it once every 5 years; that means, more pressure upfront on book losses. Nagesh justifies, “We believe this industry is growing very fast, therefore assets have to be replenished every 5 years.” I have a simple question. Why attempt that at all if all it does is give more losses?

#4 – Employee Charges Rise in manpower cost, which stood at 22% for the year 2008 (as per Assocham) is also hitting Shoppers Stop hard. This is one area they’re battling out with all guns blazing in the middle. Apart from “rationalising salaries” of its personnel, as Shoppers Stop CEO Govind puts it to me a few hours earlier, “In the last two quarters, what we have tried to do is, to not replace those employees who leave us. As we have a 3% attrition at the store level, this move would automatically mean that our headcount at the stores fell by about 9% in three quarters!” But doesn’t that lead to a drop in quality of service? “Not at all,” claims Govind confidently, as – according to him – consumers don’t notice the reduction in the count of personnel from four to three. Hmm, perhaps; but in reality Govind, perhaps not. But still, giving the devil its due, while manpower cost makes up about 15-20% of the operational cost in the retail sector, for Shoppers Stop, this has dropped down to a super 7% over the last three quarters.

It is also gearing up for a new venture, Singapore Mercantile Exchange (SMEX), under the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Talking about future ventures and entry into unexplored lands, Jignesh Shah, Chairman, FTIL and Founder, MCX avers, “There is a huge potential lying unlocked in the emerging economies. In Africa, there are 53 countries, with economic growth rates of around 6% annually for the past several years. In addition, we have India and China registering robust growth rates.” It therefore becomes clear that the setting up of exchanges in Asia, Middle East and Africa are a critical part of FTIL’s strategy to harness the enormous growth on organised market platforms. So does this mean that MCX’s focus on the Indian market thus gets diluted? Certainly not, as the various alliances it has forged in the domestic arena stands testimony.

Move ‘back’ men!

IIPM Ranked No. 1 B-School In Global Exposre - Zee...

The travails of Mukesh Ambani, Chairman, Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), have been the stuff of corporate legends. But he is in more than a spot of bother at the moment. A glance at the financial results of Reliance Industries for the quarter ending December 2008 reveals that its net profits stood at Rs.350.1 million as opposed to Rs.807.9 million recorded last year – a drastic fall of 56.67%. While RIL’s petroleum business got pummelled last year (as many as 1,432 petrol pumps were shut); the retail business too is not giving a moment’s relief. After deferring the launch of its wholesale market earlier, Reliance Retail finally scrapped its cash & carry (C&C) model and showed the door to the entire team of 36 professionals headed by Harsh Bahadur (erstwhile CEO of Metro AG’s C&C business in India). This was followed by news that Reliance Retail is planning to shut down 40 of its non-performing stores and rationalising its retail space of around 4.2 million sq. ft. In 2008, Reliance Retail axed almost 600 support jobs to manage costs. It was also speculated that the back-end operations as well as management of its hypermarkets, supermarkets and convenience stores would be merged to cut costs. Will Mukesh’s Rs.250 billion retail venture be able to sustain?

The web is where the heart is?!

Shyla’s parents couldn’t have been more shocked on learning that their daughter wanted to marry a boy whom she hadn’t been dating, but had been chatting with. “How could I ever trust anyone who Shyla had met on-line where the scope of being pretentious is thoroughly explored for the sake of fun? How can one claim to have faith in a person you’ve only chatted with and not met?” squealed Shyla’s mom, while Shyla had a different argument. “I accidentally met Bhagat on-line. He was quite interesting and so we were constantly in touch. After a year of chatting we decided to meet. We continued to stay in touch on-line. Although we had met only thrice in three years, we grew fond of each other. Now, after three years of knowing each other, we have decided to get married”, said Shyla. Due to their unrelenting stand, the families had to meet and eventually, happily agreed with their decision. “On-line dating is a risky affair because there are little chances of one being serious about it. But on the other hand, it gives a huge scope of getting in touch with and meeting different people, especially for those who are looking out for a partner. Frankly speaking, I never trusted on-line relationships but there are always exceptions, like in our case!” exclaimed Bhagat.

Reports state that Russian arms exports in 2008 was $8 billion.

IIPM Ranked No. 1 B-School In Global Exposre - Zee...

Russia is an interesting example of how much the arms industry can help in a country’s resurrection. After the disintegration of USSR in 1991, Russia was reduced to a mere shadow. The failed experiments with democracy and IMF prescribed economic reforms did everything to ruin Russia and to create a new legacy of oligarchs. When everyone presumed the worst, Vladimir Putin judiciously used Russia’s abundance of oil and natural gas – but most importantly its expertise in defence – to have a phoenix like resurgence of the economy. This is exemplified by the Sukhoi Corporation – with its prime offering, the Sukhoi-30 – revolutionising the industry and literally beating the pants off American arms suppliers. Till date, the US has very little to call an answer to the Su-30MKI or its avionics, thrust vectoring technology, agility and its long range attack capability.

Incidentally, it was India and China’s insatiable appetite for arms that came to Russia’s rescue. Russia sells everything from ubiquitous AK-103s to submarines, frigates, combat and military transport aircraft to tanks, rockets and even anti missile systems like S-300.
