  • Analysis Of Not Again By Arundhati Roy

    1022 Words  | 3 Pages

    Though the world economy as a whole has grown in recent years, a factor that is not taken into account is that the number “of the poor in the world has increased by 100 million” (Roy 3). In other words, the gap between rich and poor is widening. For India, this has startling implications. Though it is a nation that is developing in many ways, it also is a nation blessed with over one billion citizens, a population tally that continues to grow at a rapid rate. This population increase will greatly tax resources, which can create a setback in the development process. The tragedy, of course, is that the world is full of resources and wealth. In fact, Roy quotes a statistic showing that corporations, and not even just countries, represent 51 of the 100 largest economies in the world (Roy 3). For a country struggling to develop, such information is disheartening. However, there is also a more nefarious consequence of the growing disparity between rich and poor, and power and money being concentrated in the hands of multinational corporations: war is propagated in the name of resource acquisition, and corruption can reign as multinationals seek confederates in developing countries that will help companies drive through their plans, resulting in not only environmental destruction but also the subversion of democracy (Roy 3).

  • Yahoo Case Analysis

    External competition is the key threat that Yahoo faces presently, and has been an impediment in the past too. As stated before, Yahoo’s services consist of multi-business units that are not only hard to differentiate on the internet space, but are also rivaled by other similar providers. Google provides email service, online advertising and search engine services among many more others, while Facebook, on the other hand, provides social media online advertisement and eats substantially into Yahoo’s user numbers. Spencer (2012) also provides that by Yahoo choosing g to venture into the mobile web business, it has effectively exposed itself to two marketing fronts that must be simultaneously articulated. This will or might prove hard to do, considering the fact that some of its rivals such as Google have set aside billons for such strategies. With Yahoo’s current market and financial position, it is impossible to match the financial power of both Facebook and Google. In terms of expansion into foreign markets, Yahoo faces the issue of cross-cultural complications. It should be noted that some conservative countries such as Chia have crated and adopted their own search engines that reflect their needs and wants and as such, there is bound to be little need for Yahoo in these markets. Therefore, the formulation of strategic partnerships and alliances is the key to successful expansion into foreign international markets, as opposed to direct entry.

  • Infosys Consulting

    1150 Words  | 3 Pages

    The market for IT industry was huge and expanding at a fast pace. However the market leaders were Accenture and IBM which had a negligent market share and rest was captured by small enterprises. Indian companies also ventured in the industry and due to their competition, IT multinational giants had to increase their base in India. Due to high opportunities, attrition rate was also high in this industry. As a result Indian companies like Wipro, Infosys increased their base level salaries. During this phase, Indian economy was transforming towards an era of information and knowledge. This can be seen from the fact that contribution of services towards the economy’s GDP was higher than 18% in 2001 as against in 1980. No other industry had done better standing against global competition. The annual exports had always been over 50% over a decade. U.S.A. share represents highest with 61% and about a third of Fortune 500 companies outsource their software work to India. To foster development, Indian government has taken a number of steps like liberalization of policies and providing necessary capital and infrastructure to foster growth. Thus Indian environment has been conducive for growth. (Ref: Indian Embassy.org) Competitor analysis- The market for IT industry was fairly competitive with IBM and Accenture as global leaders and rest of the market was pretty diffused. IBM and Accenture had strong brand and a global presence with a large customer base. They also offered panoply of services viz. technology implementation, business consulting, offshore services, customer relationship management etc. Both offered breadth and depth of services. IT market in India offered technical and business consulting with Tata Consultancy Services which was the market leader in IT exports and Wipro Technologies and Infosys being other major market players. TCS offered consultancy services, IT services, asset based solution etc. Wipro was third largest IT provider with service offerings in IT consulting, software solutions, BPO etc. Both had a strong global presence. Intensity of Rivalry: Rivalry amongst competitors was pretty intense as can be seen the Indian competition caused IBM to increase their presence in India. However leaders like IBM and Accenture had a wide range of service offerings so competition was only amongst few sectors. Rivalry was to hire the top talent as human capital is the most important thing in the IT sector. This is the reason that attrition rate lead to a rise in pay packages.
