PEST analysis
Political factors
A former British colony, India acquired its independence in 1947. Often called the world’s most popular democracy, the parliamentary republic with its strong multi-party electoral system (over 200 parties) allows neophyte parties to address a wide range of issues. The democracy still seems to require improvements in consolidating government institutions, curtailing repression and reducing income inequalities. Critics state that corruption jeopardizes Indian democracy, along with poverty and a weak court system (Ghosh, Palash).
Government interference is still relatively high and government contacts are essential to do business in India. Since its openness to the global market and trade liberalization in 1991, India’s labor laws have been pushed to be less restrictive on companies and private capitalists. The nation’s tariffs continue to be high with still restrictive investment norms (The World Bank Group).
Economic factors
With a GDP of $1.842 trillion in 2012, India is one of the fastest growing economies (The World Bank Group). Another determinant of a country’s competiveness level is its exchange rate; the Indian Rupee decreased to 60.92 this March from 62.10 in February 2014 per USD. The Indian Rupee averaged 32.51 since 1973, with a maximum rea...

As we discussed in the PEST analysis, innovation and creation of new ideas is the key to keep successful and establish competitive advantage over the rivals.

    Ben Ross and Dr. Frankenstein are similar through how much they were both involved in their experiment. Ben Ross put in his time and heart into the experiment; trying to perfect it. He wanted the best for his students and wanted to bring the experiment to perfection. Similarly, Dr. Frankenstein does the same through the quote “I had worked hard for nearly two years…. I had deprived myself of rest and health”. The doctor appears to have the same obsessive behavior as Ben Ross toward this experiment.

    The Indian government is corrupted and makes promises it is unable to keep. In The White Tiger, Balram describes that the government is “...the world’s greatest democracy. What a fucking joke.” (Adiga 145). When Balram lived in Laxmangarh his right to vote for the prime minister was taken from him, due to the fact that running candidates pay the current government to make sure they are elected. The government system also enables the rich to get richer. They do this by immensely taxing the poor and enforcing the caste system on the poor. The caste system is a labeling system you were born into and of what you are expected of in life. For example Balram had the caste of Halwai, which is derived from “sweet-maker”. This meant Balram was expected to work...

    802 Words  | 2 Pages

    The main plotline of Frankenstein involves the lives of two major characters, Victor Frankenstein and the Monster. Their relationship is a tumultuous one, mainly due to the fact that Frankenstein created the Monster out of a wish to be some sort of god and be able to play with the balance of life and death. Afterwards, he comes to deeply regret his action and abandons the Monster by throwing him out into the world without any education or guidance. Because of this, throughout the book, the Monster harbors resentment towards Frankenstein and dedicates his life to make Frankenstein’s a living hell. Out of the many horrible things that the Monster did to achieve this goal, the main evil action I will be focusing on is the murder of William, Frankenstein’s younger brother and the framing of his nanny for the murder.

    Although the monster does not come out as Dr.Frankenstein imagines he is now being treated and put into the category of what the normal society despises, which are the outcast. He does not only look like nor does he talk like everyone else in his community. “I prepared myself for a multitude of reverses; my operations might be incessantly baffled, and at last my work be imperfect, yet when I considered the improvement which every day takes place in science and mechanics, I was encouraged to hope my present attempts would at least lay the foundations of future success.” Frankenstein says that he is ok with the worst happening, but when it happens he doesn’t know what to do. Not only did Dr.Frankenstein go back on his word, but when the going got tough he left. This shows you how no matter how much you prepare for the worst until it actually happens you will never know how to act in the situation.
