I think,merging two technologies will definitely give a refined output
Leena Pawar  |  Argues in support of  "No"  |  2 years ago
No according to me they should not merge. There are possibilities for any one of the company to loose its identity. But what Jagadeesh said is correct to survive they must merge but not with a company which can take its identity. So if they want...

Investment in a basket of more debt insutruments and less equities of captive companies is prudent rather confining to one company which is more risk prone.
Anoop Dhopte  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  1 year ago
The organizations that use their captive centers not just for engineering but also for support functions such as marketing, finance and human resources see a larger cost savings. Most technology organizations spend around 50% to 60% on sales and...

No third party jobs are not good and secure. Because your are not directly interacting with the source party. You will not be aware of what is the agreement with them. So in many cases people get cheated. So don't prefer third party jobs......  
K. NARAYAN  |  Argues in support of  "Good"  |  2 years ago
I think outsourcing is good. You have to agree that in today's world , there is always someone out there who can do it better than you. Your job is to identify that agency , and get them to do it at a lower cost , in a timely manner. If you can...

Companies are taking benefit from this. One way you can say them that they are arrogant because they feel that employee will work even if you do anything with them. Its true. See you

American president Barack Obama wants to end tax breaks that he thinks lead US companies to shift jobs to developing countries like India. Indian analysts fear this will hit foreign investment and jobs in India. These fears are overblown. Indeed, the tax changes may unwittingly facilitate the takeover of US firms by Indian ones, showing once again that protectionism ultimately hits the protectionist. The US imposes corporate tax on the global income of its companies, not just their US earnings. US companies have long protested that this made them uncompetitive in low-tax countries. To reduce this disadvantage, the US made profits earned abroad tax-free, until repatriated to the US. This tax...
Navneet Gupta  |  Commented  |  2 years ago
Imposing tax on US based companies by US govt. will definetly stop or reduce job outsourcing towards India. So how can these companies will grow in India, if they don't have any job to offer. Their growth rate will decrease drastically. This will...

In many ways, a manager has to be a leader, so therefore a manager will have many of the traits that a leader does. However, I feel the term 'manager' applies primarily to business, it's in a manager's best interest to lead his co-workers effectively, encouraging them to achieve their goals and targets. In my experience, a leader is more of a social thing; more associated with team work, too. Go to Discussion http://lnkd.in/wUJe5E

Know Where a Wine Really Comes From by Jim Gordon The mantra of real estate buyers everywhere -- "location, location, location" -- is almost as important for wine buyers. While certain foods and beverages carry a general notation of their origin, like Idaho potatoes and Sumatra coffee, wine can narrow the notion down to the precise plot of land where the grapes grew. Governments in virtually all winemaking countries have made it illegal to cheat consumers by putting misleading information about a wine's origin on a label. They needed to, because a minority of dishonest winemakers is constantly tempted to make more money by tricking the consumer. They make a wine from inexpensive grapes grown in a low-quality growing region, then pass it off as something pedigreed and expensive. Most wine producers are honest, of course, but it's still important to know what you're buying. Look carefully at the wine label to learn at least the minimum. The front label of most U.S. wines usually...
