Accounting standards are complex, ever-changing, and allow creative accounting. Overall, there is potential for total failure of the system due to the bandwagon mentality and lack of foolproof oversight. Reforms are needed to the roles of independent directors, accounting standards, and the accounting profession.

Financial derivatives theory and concepts-b.v.raghunandanSVS College
Financial derivatives derive their value from an underlying security and are used for risk management. The main types are stock, index, interest rate, and foreign currency derivatives. There are two markets - the cash market for immediate purchasing/selling of securities, and the futures and options market meant for hedging risks arising from cash market dealings. Hedging in the futures market allows buyers and sellers in the cash market to offset risks from price fluctuations. Speculation involves trading futures contracts without an underlying position, while arbitrage exploits brief price differences between markets. Options provide the right but not obligation to buy or sell an underlying asset.

India and its economic invincibility b.v.r raghunandanSVS College
The document summarizes India and the United States' economic strengths and weaknesses. It argues that India's large democracy, cultural heritage, diversity, stability-oriented policies, and socialistic beliefs make it economically invincible.

This document discusses how systems thinking can enable innovation. It provides examples of companies like Polaroid and Blackberry that failed to take a systems view and remained focused on individual products. In contrast, companies like Apple and Samsung that were able to view their products as part of a larger system were better able to drive innovation. Systems thinking allows companies to consider relationships among components, competitors, and customer needs to develop innovative solutions. The document argues this approach provides strategic advantages over linear thinking focused solely on products.
Disruptive innovation describes a process where a product or service begins in simple, inexpensive applications and then improves in quality and performance until it meets the needs of mainstream customers, displacing existing options. Dell Computer grew rapidly by focusing on direct sales and building computers upon receiving customer orders rather than maintaining large inventories, allowing it to outcompete other PC manufacturers. Dell's success demonstrates how streamlining operations and targeting customer needs directly can enable a company to scale quickly through disruptive innovation.
The document discusses innovation and innovators, including:
1) Experts are no better than chance at predicting the future, as shown in a study of expert forecasts.
2) New technologies often disrupt existing markets, as seen with smartphones replacing devices like cameras, music players, and more.
3) To be innovative, one must be willing to challenge assumptions, think differently than others, and learn from failures through iteration.
The document discusses the transition to Music 2.0 and new models for content consumption and monetization. It notes that total fragmentation of content consumption is certain, with few models working for everyone. It proposes a new social contract and challenges content owners and distributors to create new models around content consumption across different platforms and devices. Examples from Asia, like Google's free music model in China supported by advertising, demonstrate new approaches. The key will be developing new "generatives" of value like packaging, timeliness, convenience and filtering to monetize content in this new landscape.
This document provides an introduction to product management. It defines a product as something sold by an enterprise to customers. Product development is the set of activities from identifying a market opportunity to producing, selling, and delivering the product. Key characteristics of successful product development include quality, cost, development time, and capability. A product development team typically includes representatives from marketing, design, manufacturing, and other functions. The document discusses trends in future products and challenges in balancing quality, value, time, and cost for new products. It also categorizes different types of new products that companies develop.
In the early days of product development, the technology is inferior and lacking in performance. The focus is very much on the technology itself. The users are enthusiast who like the idea of the product, find use for it, and except the lack of performance. Then as the product becomes more mature, other factors become important, such as price, design, features, portability. The product moves from being a technology to become a consumer item, and even a community.
In this lecture we explore the change from technology focus to consumer focus, and look at why people stand in line overnight to buy the latest gadgets.
Cordless Products, Inc. seeks $11 million in funding to launch its new Blower Buddy product. The portable, handheld air blower aims to replace canned air and generate $284 million in sales within five years. Key factors for success include dominating early markets through infomercials and internet marketing, and using contract manufacturing to keep costs low. The funding would be used for initial production and advertising, with payback expected within 3-5 years through sales revenues or conversion to equity. Timing the launch for Fall/Winter 2010 is seen as crucial to success.
One of the great irony of successful companies is how easily they can fail. New companies are founded to take advantage of some new technology. They become highly successful and but when the technology shifts, something new comes along, they are unable to adapt and fail. This is the innovator’s dilemma.
Then there are companies that manage to survive. For example, Kodak survived two platform shift, only til fail the third. IBM has survived over 100 years. What do successful companies do differently?

Disruptive innovation refers to innovations that create new markets by either targeting customers at the bottom of the market who are not served by existing products, or targeting customers in new emerging markets. There are three main types of disruptive innovation: low-end disruption, new market disruption, and business model innovation.

When customers get clever: Managerial approaches to dealing with creative con...Ian McCarthy
Creative consumers (defined as customers who adapt, modify, or transform a proprietary offering) represent an intriguing paradox for business. On
one hand, they can signify a black hole for future revenue, with breach of copyright and intellectual property. On the other hand, they represent a gold mine of ideas and business opportunities. Central to business is the need to create and capture value, and creative consumers demand a shift in the mindsets and business models of how firms accomplish both. Based upon their attitude and action toward customer innovation, we develop a typology of firms’ stances toward creative consumers. We then consider the implications of the stances model for corporate strategy and
examine a three-step approach to dealing with creative consumers: awareness, analysis, and response.

It told the story of humans colonizing Pandora to mine the valuable mineral unobtanium, threatening the indigenous Na'vi people. Cameron pioneered new motion capture and 3D filming technologies to fully immerse viewers in the alien world of Pandora.
