The television industry is undergoing major disruption as the TV screen takes on new capabilities. As the TV becomes more connected to the internet and content becomes more personalized and on-demand, control is shifting from media companies to consumers.

In the future, consumers will be able to access vast libraries of interactive content through their TVs and share content more easily. Both media companies and new players will need to adapt to remain relevant in this new environment.

Connecting Rural India - The Untapped Growth OpportunitySubrahmanyam KVJ
The document provides an overview of the global telecom industry and key trends. It discusses how the industry has transformed significantly in recent years due to factors like deregulation, privatization, and technology advancements. Major markets like the US, Western Europe, and Japan have matured, leading operators to look for growth opportunities in emerging markets like India and China that offer strong growth potential due to lower penetration levels and favorable demographics. The rural Indian market is seen as an important source of future growth for the Indian telecom sector.
The Indian IT services industry has grown significantly over the past few decades due to globalization. Factors like low costs and a skilled workforce gave India an initial advantage, but investments in skills, quality processes, and partnerships with global technology companies helped the industry develop and access international markets. As the industry matured, Indian firms offered high-quality outsourcing services to clients and grew rapidly, especially during periods like the Y2K transition. Continued success depends on constantly upgrading skills, focusing on employees, balancing quality and cost, managing global supply chains effectively, and innovating vendor relationships.

My DPhil research seeks to understand this institutionally complex, constraint-based, and low cost innovation which is designed in or for emerging market contexts.

The Digital Malaysia programme focuses on three strategic thrusts - tapping demand for digital products/services, increasing citizen income through entrepreneurship, and nurturing IT-savvy youth. It will create an ecosystem promoting widespread digital technology use to connect communities, increase GNI, boost productivity and improve standards of living.
India has become a global leader in outsourcing due to its large, English-speaking workforce and lower costs compared to countries like the US. Outsourcing to India began in the 1980s with companies like American Express and has grown significantly since, contributing to India's economic growth. However, over-reliance on outsourcing carries risks if political decisions or rising unemployment in other countries reduce outsourcing to India in the future. India must develop other industries to ensure long-term, sustainable growth.

This article discusses how the needs and expectations of clients from their sourcing advisors have changed over the past two years. It is based on an interview with Cliff Justice, National Leader of Shared Services and Outsourcing Advisory at KPMG.
The key points are:
1. Recently, clients have been demanding more value creation through optimization of several functions and internal services organizations, rather than just advice on outsourcing deals.
2. Sourcing advisors are now expected to help with enterprise services transformation and alignment to drive competitive advantage, rather than just setting up shared services centers or advising on outsourcing contracts.
3. Advisors must take a holistic view of services delivery that
This document discusses trends in the global telecommunications industry. It notes that most telecom markets are focused on higher speeds, better interactivity and customer experience. It also discusses challenges around maintaining low costs and margins given the high infrastructure investments required in networks. The document suggests telecom players should find their best identity and position their brand accordingly. It also notes examples of rapid growth in mobile broadband traffic and app usage.
Reverse innovation involves creating products for developing markets and then adapting them for developed markets. This strategy allows companies to reduce costs through affordable product development and access new markets. A framework for reverse innovation models it as developing market inputs that inform product specifications, design, and marketing for developed markets. Effective implementation requires local growth teams with separate budgets and a focus on experimentation. Cost management strategies like target costing, just-in-time production, and total quality management can help leverage reverse innovation.
The Razorfish Consumer Experience Report examines emerging trends shaping the digital consumer experience. It finds that consumers are adopting new technologies like social media, widgets and search faster than expected. This has fundamentally altered the consumer landscape, with consumers being more active and open to experimentation. For brands to remain relevant, they need to adapt quickly to these shifting consumer behaviors and emerging technologies, and act more like publishers and entertainment companies than traditional advertisers. The report explores how major trends like social networking, distribution of content across channels, and new forms of engaging experiences will impact marketing strategies.
ANALYSIS ON SUSTAINABILITY ISSUES AND OPERATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS FOR ELECTRICA...Shyam Ravindran
The document discusses sustainability issues and operational effectiveness in the electrical industries. It notes that 93% of power industry CEOs see sustainability as a challenge. The research aims to set priorities in industry operations by including sustainability challenges in company strategies and finding efficient implementation methods. This will help power industries better survive increasing global competition and meet growing energy demands in a sustainable way.
The document outlines the need for economic transformation in the UK through investment in next generation infrastructure, innovation, and small businesses. It argues that the UK is currently missing out on growth opportunities due to a lack of data center infrastructure, weak collaboration models that inhibit innovation, and an insufficient funding model that does not scale. It proposes addressing these issues by creating an environment and policy framework to support the development of next generation data centers in the UK, innovation clusters to drive collaboration, and improved access to funding for SMEs and startups to regenerate the economy and drive sustainable future growth.
This document discusses the important role of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in India's economy and workforce. It notes that MSMEs employ crores of Indians and constitute a seamless source of employment. However, these enterprises could be more competitive if India's large pool of engineering talent was better channeled to enhance their value propositions and competitive edge. This could help address unemployment among the over 10 lakh engineers graduating annually. The document aims to explore fascinating aspects of MSMEs from an engineer's perspective.
The document provides background information on the Indian telecommunications industry. It discusses key milestones such as the introduction of telephone service in India in 1881 and the privatization of the industry in the 1990s. It also outlines the major players in both the fixed line and wireless segments, with BSNL, MTNL and VSNL as the major public players and Reliance Communications, Airtel, Hutch, Idea and Tata as leading private players. The telecom industry is growing rapidly in India and is poised to continue its strong growth trajectory.
