Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Executive Summary
The case highlights the key elements of entering into an emerging market with international,
well-positioned players and discusses the entry of Lenovo in the Indian market where the
problem was compounded by perceptions of IBM connection and Chinese origin. It followed the
innovation strategy approach to gain the market share. Will Lenovo India be able to replicate the
success model in China?
The case presents the challenges and discusses the strategies adopted by Lenovo to bring about a
change in the existing perceptions of stakeholders. It also focusses upon increasing the market
share and their product portfolio to achieve a strong foothold in India.

Situational Analysis
The case discusses the reputational and expansion challenges faced by Lenovo when they
entered into the Indian market. In 1984, Lenovo started as New Technology Developer Inc. in
China and in 1999, it became the market leader for PCs in China with a market share of more
than 20%. Lenovo leveraged upon innovation as their core value. In 2004, Lenovo acquired
IBM’s PC and notebook manufacturing division It came along with the big “Think” brand of
IBM. The move gave Lenovo a strong foothold in the Indian market and in 2008 it shot up to 2nd
position11
in terms of market share. Lenovo also ventured into consumer markets, along with the
enterprise market.
In 2005, Lenovo set up a manufacturing plant at Pondicherry with 5,00,000 units. Lenovo India’s
major challenge was that not many people knew about them, those who did, connected its
positive perception with IBM and negative perception with Chinese origin. Three phase
approach was adopted for growth. In the first phase continuity of association with IBM was
assured to the customer, product line expansion in the second phase and the third phase was on
widespread advertising and branding. Lenovo India stuck to the policy of “getting close” to
customer through technology and not price.
Lenovo India faced various challenges in the initial stages: high rate of attrition after the end of
the lock in period with IBM, post-recession effects in 2008 such as employee insecurity and
dismay and a specific issue with the Indian government over an erroneous display of the
geographical boundaries of India on the wallpapers uploaded on its ThinkPad. But, Lenovo

overcame all the challenges it came across strongly. It came up with the new vision of,
“Unstoppable Lenovo India”. Lenovo’s focus on innovation was built on a two-tier approach.
Firstly, in developing and bringing ideas to the market in 48 months and secondly, investing in
“game-changing technologies.”
Lenovo faced competitors like HP, Dell, and Acer. It introduced a “stock and sale” business
model to gain the market share in the enterprise segment which ensured availability of the
products before the orders are placed. Lenovo started various promotion techniques, including
celebrity endorsements, placement of their products in TV shows and movies, and online brand
building via blogs with their focus on youth for their retail business, high number of young
educated individuals and a relatively low PC penetration. The problem in the way of Lenovo is
to change the perception and mindsets of the stakeholders. The question is whether it could be
done following the current managing model.
6. P a g e | 6
Problem Statement
Should Lenovo continue or not with its current strategy redefining its perception among its
stakeholders in India so as to capture a bigger market share.
Options

7. P a g e | 7
Maintaining consistency in product value
i. Lenovo can improve the value of the product across all the different products that
it offers.
ii. They should focus on improving the customer perceived value of their product
iii. They can improve the customer relationships through enhanced services

for them.
Action Plan
Following steps should be undertaken:
1. Keeping up with the latest technology: They should keep up with the latest
technology and keep ahead of their competitors.
2. Focus on new innovations: R&D should be given much preference and they should
bring out new advanced products from time to time.
3. Market the concept models: Various concept models that are yet in their vault, should
be marketed. It’s an era of innovation and new technology variants are highly
welcomed.
8. P a g e | 8
Contingency Plan
Maintaining consistency in product value:
i. Lenovo should focus on improving the product value. Better services should be
provided to the customers.
ii. Customer relationship management should be given high preference and different
customer satisfaction models should be adopted to gain customer loyalty.
