Manufacturers from developed nations have been capitalising on the low labor costs of emerging economies for a long time. It's a familiar story: product design happens in, say, the US, and manufacturing gets cranked out in Southeast Asia. Then the products are shipped to the developed world for final sale. But in recent years a new trend has emerged. Many of these same companies are now moving R D, distribution, and sales to China, India and elsewhere in the developing world because they see market opportunities where the GDP is growing dramatically and household incomes are on the rise. GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt said recently that he expects 60% of company revenue growth to come from emergin...

Globally, open source BI solutions are in huge demand, with interest picking up in a huge way during the recession. Open Source BI products from vendors such as Pentaho and Jaspersoft have evolved from being community-driven tools to being backed up by support from professional service vendors. In India, awareness levels are low and the market is at a nascent stage. However, the potential for adoption is huge—especially among SMEs—a market that is made of over 6 million Indian enterprises, contributing to 42 percent of India’s total exports.

When you are coming from behind, embracing openness is always a good strategy. That is exactly what Sony is doing with its electronic book reader, which is up against the Amazon Kindle. The key to the Kindle’s success is that it is paired with the largest book store in the world, where most people likely to buy an electronic book already have accounts. Sony is trying to fight this advantage by being more open and thereby attracting other large players into its sphere of influence. It’s biggest ally in this fight is Google, whose M.O. is to attack closed industries with open technologies. Today, Google is making available more than one million public domain books in the open ePub format, whi...

Open Source as a Business Model In order to be competitive in whatever market or business you're in, companies need to be very smart and use analytics to run their businesses. You have to have the leanest, meanest logistics supply chain. You have to know that the market's going to turn so that you don't have too much inventory. If you don't do that very well, you won't survive very long. 'We've seen a lot of Tier 1 companies go bankrupt in the last little while because of that' says Tuerk (CEO InfoBright) . The reason business intelligence and analytics has grown so much is because the volume of data, the pervasiveness of electronic services, is exploding. So now, instead of just having a C...

By Ryan Barnett Disgraced financial guru Bernie Madoff is facing a 150-year prison sentence for perpetrating the biggest Ponzi scheme in history. In March 2009, Bernie Madoff pled guilty to defrauding investors of $65 billion. At the time of his arrest, he had a Rolodex of celebrity clients rivaled only by Heidi Fleiss in the early '90s. People like Steven Spielberg , Kevin Bacon and John Malkovich had entrusted their money with ol' Bernie 'Made off,' and were left fuming over the deception. The effects of this fraud are terrible. Many people lost their life savings, and several charities that had entrusted money to Madoff were forced to close their doors. As Sandy Koufax scratches his head...

Why are business processes seen as being handed down from on high? This week, the JargonSpy argues that business processes are like wild animals. They should be stalked, crept up on and then captured. If we take a step back and look at wisdom discovered through hard experience or passed down from the leading lights of engineering, one thing is clear: Engineers have become a lot more humble. (See ' The Humble Developer .') While the flash of insight is and always will be where creation happens, the link between that which has been imagined, and that which works is now recognized to be a lot more tenuous. Fred Brooks, author of The Mythical Man Month , teaches us to plan to learn from the pro...

Many companies are turning to a new kind of enterprise resource planning software. This new model is much more affordable, provides faster return on investment, is easier to implement across an enterprise, provides superior connectivity and is highly configurable. Browser-based, open-source ERP applications hold many advantages over the traditional legacy based software systems of the past. They are easier to modify and customize, for one. This ease of configurability opens up the door to agility - changing the software system to take advantage of new opportunities or changes in the market for optimal positioning. The software can change as quickly as the company can. This new type of ERP is not "open source" in the usual sense of the term. The meaning of open source for this type of application is that the source code is modifiable, but not available to the general public. It is modifiable by the provider or the individual buyer. This is advantageous to buyers with IT resources...

Software has become easier to customize in the past decade, but hardware, for the most part, remains closed: Apple's battle to keep people from hacking the iPhone is a case in point. Although most consumer electronics are collections of smaller devices--cell phones typically include cameras and voice recorders, for example--users can't swap out the devices or modify the way they work. Bug Labs , a startup based in New York City, is hoping to change that with its new device, the Bug, scheduled to start shipping late this year. The Bug would allow users to design their own electronics and customize them however they want. CEO Peter Semmelhack explains that the foundation of the device is the Bugbase, a minicomputer running Linux that users can program. It has ports for up to four device modules, which snap in and out of place. Among the first modules the company expects to offer will be a GPS system, a camera, a motion sensor, and an LCD screen. But it also plans to offer new modules...

We have talked a lot about cricket and not many want to encourage discussions regarding cricket anymore. Then came the doping scandal of athletes. Now we have a good news.. Indian swimmers Virdhawal Khade and Sandeep Sejwal created quite a splash at the seventh Singapore Open Championships, sharing four gold, a silver and three bronze medals among themselves. While Khade bagged two gold and three bronze medals, Sandeep brought home two gold and a silver. Khade was in top form at the meet as he won the gold in the 50m and 100m Freestyle events with times of 23.21 and 51.08 seconds respectively.

Nicholas Carr's article "IT Doesn't Matter" (Harvard Business Review, May 2003) challenges the value proposition for IT. He argues that as companies become more dependent on IT for their day-to-day operations, so the emphasis switches to managing availability, reliability and security. As such, businesses should manage IT as a commodity. Do you subscribe to the Carr view? Do you align IT with the business in a purely supportive role? But innovations within IT continue to create possibilities and options for businesses that did not exist before. But where IT engages the business, pro actively and as an equal, companies will be able to continue to deliver strategic advantage through IT. The following will be useful in assessing the level of business engagement: - to whom does the IT function report in your business? For example, the Board (where the CIO/IT director is a Board member), the CEO (who has a business development focus), the COO (who has a business operations focus) or the...
