In India collabartion is taken in other view i.e. only to get the job. As such there are visible expample of JV in which the companies which were not doing the jobs in past have taken the jobs with JV (Join Ventures). A company which has long past...

This is where I will not completely agree with Mr. Devarajan. Collaborations sometimes help agreed, but on a larger scale this doesn't help companies to improve on their performance. Most companies think they are better than their partner...

In construction projects ,there are many things need to be sorted out at site itself and if  remain unattended ,the project may not proceed as per schedule.The collaboration helps in iron out the things and bumps are therefore taken care of.
James Hindman  |  Supported idea  "Shock absorber"  |  2 years ago
I don't know how construction projects are managed in India, but it's been my experience in several other countries that, whereas the accuracy of the plans and specifications, the take-offs and estimates, and the budget are all of critical...

1 Lack of training, compromise & professionalism
2 Commitment
S. Muralidharan  |  Added idea  "Statutory Obligation"  |  1 year ago
Sub-contractors, by and large, do not conform to any statutory obligations, forcing the main contractors to face the music. One has to be very careful in monitoring the project for cost and time over-runs! If unattended, the project will be...

Quality is must over progress. If things are properly planned then you will get progress with quality.
Punit Gupta  |  Argues in support of  "Progess is the key of project quality is second part "  |  1 year ago
to be honest it depends on which side of the project you are.... if you are an independent consultant, then the quality is the main motive, if you are either a concessionaire or a contractor.. then progess is the main motive...

Today i saw a post on yahoo : http://in.lifestyle.yahoo.com/10-ideal-habits-better-lifestyle-074012807.html The urban lifestyle that you lead comes at a cost. And it takes much more than your spending power. Most people caught in the  urban trend of life  lack a lot of things in their daily life, like time, freedom, peace and, most importantly, happiness. When your demanding lifestyle starts taking a toll on your mental, physical or emotional state of being, you know it's time for a change. We bring 10 small but ideal  habits which can help you lead a better lifestyle . 1. Opt for juice over coffee Whether its a persistent migraine or lack of sleep or even a bad day at work, the urban man actually depends on coffee. Not everyone knows that the dependence is actually a bane and poses health hazards. Substitute  your daily cup of coffee  with a glass of fresh juice. It will not only bring a marked improvement in your health but might also reverse the ill-effects of your lifestyle on...

I am not sure whether this is really happened or not, But I liked it and want to share with all my friend here. Please read once ............ One day Maths teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name. Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down. It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers. That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. 'Really?' she heard whispered. 'I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!' and, 'I didn't know others liked me so much,' were most of the comments. No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She...

Way back in 1897 William Faulkner said, “ I believe that man will not merely endure; he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among the creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of kindness and compassion .” I’m not talking about anything new here; it’s just a reminder of what we all knew and seem to have forgotten. We seem to have been taken in by the sheer pace of things around us – the violence, the economy driven work culture, the information boom, etc etc – you know them all – and the media has only added up to the pace. We need to look around us. Where have all courtesies gone ? Been to a gathering lately ? This is a wake-up call , a reminder !! We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibres connect us with our fellow human beings; and along those fibres, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects . We need to re-learn to give; so that some of us eventually receive. It's the...

Why is using email marketing services sometimes a better option than direct mail? There are many options available to the business or charitable organization that is in need of a way to better communicate with their target audience. Two of the most popular are email marketing and direct mail. While both have their pros and cons, email is often a better option than its traditional counterpart. This article will explain why by highlighting some of the advantages it has over direct mail. Cost Effectiveness One of the best qualities email marketing has going for it is its low cost. The price you would pay to reach hundreds or even thousands of contacts is downright cheap in comparison to trying to connect with the same number of people with direct mail. More businesses are finding out that such traditional methods are cost prohibitive in today’s economy. With direct mail, you have to factor in the cost for creating your actual marketing materials, printing it all out, and mailing it to...
