“we do have an edge”

B&E: What does food processing industry has in store for the Indian economy? PLK: Although the food processing industry is perceived to be a small scale industry, it is the only industry which has grown more than 15% on an average during the last three months and this is the period when the ongoing slowdown seems to have affected the Indian economy.

B&E: But, don’t we still process just 2% of the country’s annual production? PLK: Yes, compared to what we produce, we have not been able to process to that extent. At least 30% of our agri-production is wasted due to our inability to preserve and process. But we have abundant opportunity because, unlike other countries, we have our own production of fruits and vegetables.

B&E: So, what holds us back when it comes to capitalise on our agri-products and livestocks? PLK: Logistics and cold chains are definitely two major bottlenecks, which often stops a small scale entrepreneur from export. Then there are the multiple laws and sales taxes that varies from state to state and often force manufacturers to charge a higher cost on the finished product in the market. If you can’t offer competitive prices, you can not have an edge in the global market.

B&E: Where does India stands vis-à-vis Malaysia & China? PLK: The wide variety of land and climate enable us to harvest regular crops and then there are unique products like asparagus. Moreover, we are also organic by nature. These features definitely give us an edge over these countries.

Refer[end]um or referendum(b)?

The Most Revolutionary Concept In Education PLANMAN CHE CENTRE FOR HIGHER EDUCATION, Supported by IIPM India’s Leading B-School

Abuse of referendum is widely practiced across the world...

With growing complexities in political arena and with increase in involvement of civil societies in governance, the role of referendum is ever increasing. It’s becoming the most sought-after form of direct democracy. Well, referendums not only depict the increasing legitimacy of decision-making but also enhances the political participation of citizens as well. But then, like normal elections, referendums are also largely abused in political arena. Last year, the Burmese generals went ahead with the constitutional referendum amidst the humanitarian crisis and asked the voters to either vote in the presence of them or hand over their ballots to the authorities. The voters were left with no option but to support the constitution. Even the French relied on the same method to decide on the establishment of constitution for Europe. And surprisingly 55% of voters rejected the treaty. Every time there was a need for a referendum, successive Croat Government executed the Croat referendum (about sovereignty related clauses) in various states during the Silence period and thus led to a serious violation of the rules and regulations that clearly defined that there should be no referendums during the Silence period. Likewise, when the Colombian referendum was held for the re-election of President Álvaro Uribe, a company named DMG donated 4.7 million pesos to influence the voting. The last and biggest on the list is the very recent incident wherein Venezuelan voters abolished term limits for Hugo Chavez and allowed him to continue the term all over again, going bluntly against the constitution which stipulated it to three terms only for any elected person.

Coming to the Indian banking sector, expect plenty of smirks from people in the American banking industry when you tell them how the Indian banking giant SBI has posted a 31.44% increase in profits for the period under consideration. Actually there is a positive correlation. Jagannadham Thunuguntla, Equity Head, SMC Capitals Limited, explains, “ As a matter of fact, post the Lehman Brothers episode, SBI saw deposits to the tune of Rs.10 billion every working day. Over the year, SBI, which had been maintaning a conservative approach towards branding, has now become aggressive and cornered the likes of ICICI Bank et al.” Size can become a burden for many, but SBI (with a mammoth 11,111 branches across India) does not seem to belong to that list by miles. SBI creditably showed a competitive streak when it became one of the first banks to slash interest rates and increase deposit rates following the RBI directive. According to V. Krishnan, Analyst, Ambit Capital Pvt. Ltd., “SBI recording huge profits can be primarily attributed to surge in its treasury profits and the higher bond prices... the key competitive advantage of SBI over its peers is its geographical reach.”

Lula’s rant underscored an ancient rivalry. When I was little, growing up in a house that prominently displayed a blue-eyed Jesus and a blue-eyed JFK, I felt my brown eyes were far less attractive than my brothers’ blue ones. I obsessed on it so much, cutting out a picture of a beautiful brown-eyed model and keeping it in my scrapbook, that my mother finally reassured me: “You look at blue eyes. You look into brown eyes.” Later, of course, there would be the thrill of Van Morrison serenading a “Brown-Eyed Girl.”

Before Obama, when I interviewed the brown-eyed Mario Cuomo and Colin Powell, they seemed torn about taking the big plunge, given how far they had come in relation to their dads. I asked Cuomo if he was leaving the field to “the privileged blue-eyed WASPs” like Bush senior and Dan Quayle who felt entitled and never worried about their worthiness.

Obama and his family have already had a profound effect on the culture in terms of what is beautiful and marketable. Black faces are popping up in all kinds of ads now – wearing straw boaters and other prepster outfits in Ralph Lauren ads. With Michelle urging students to aim for A’s and Obama promising to make school “cool,” brown eyes may finally overtake blue as the windows of winners.

How religious leaders can help the world for its betterment

A close scrutiny exemplifies the fact that be it the Pope in Christianity or Dalai Lama in Buddhism, Rabbis in Judaism or Imams in Islam, religious leaders do all have implicit and explicit influences in the lives of even non-devotees.

To start off with, Pope Benedict XVI. Given the current global scenario, each of the Pope’s visits, addresses to the common people, official statements marks history. For instance, his mind-boggling address to the youths of Germany, inter-faith talks with Jews and Muslims and many other similar visits to Brazil, Austria, Poland, Spain, Turkey and the US have been overwhelmingly successful in garnering more international attention than his religious designation should warrant. His recent visit to Africa might have drawn some controversies due to his remarks on condoms as ‘not [being] the solution to end HIV/AIDS’, but what one misses is that his visit in itself helped Africa get enough attention from world authorities.

Even Angolan President Eduardo dos Santos, despite the Pope’s ‘condom-controversy’, had to accept, “We are very grateful for all the advice that you have given to our people.” Similarly, the Israeli chief Rabbi, Shlomo Amar, has contributed considerably by reaccepting the Falash Mura community – a group of Ethiopian Jews who converted to Christianity – and also fighting for the rights of non-Israeli immigrant Jews. Similarly, calls or addresses by Muslim leaders like the 49th Imam, Prince Karim Al Husseini or Imam of Jama Masjid remain very prominent. And the Dalai Lama’s politico-religious influence is in another seventh sphere already. Quite clearly, if with great power comes great responsibility, then would it be too churlish for us to comment that with great responsibility comes great duty? Towards global peace?

ah! but size does matter? So did you spot something common in all the deals mentioned above? Different countries, different sectors, different CEOs, different motives… Ah! All were multi-billion gambles! Our further research led us to many such references by M&A experts about the right size of deals. BCG’s sparkling May 2008 report once again proved a handful. The report documents that during downturns, “Larger deals destroy progressively more value! Deals that are above $1 billion destroy nearly twice as much value as those under $1 billion!” So what’s the right M&A deal size during a recessionary period? The reports prove how targets that are worth more than “50% of the acquirer destroy nearly twice as much value as targets that are worth less than 10% of the acquirer.” The work by Towers Perrin and Cass, that compared the current M&A fever, with the previous two cycles (that peaked in 1989 & 1999) also supports this theory. The paper confirms how “medium-sized deals (those between $0.4 and $1.5 billion) continued to work and create value.” So there you stand corrected – mid-sized risks are the recommendation for an M&A transaction, especially during a downturn when those dimes get more precious in the backdrop of the ‘On Sale’ once-lucrative businesses! Dr. Paroutis of Warwick Business School sums up his argument as, “The key to winning with this [M&A] strategy during a downturn, will be buying for a good price.” Karna of Grant Thornton doubles-up as, “Given capital is scarce... the downturns represent unprecedented opportunities for value buys…” So there’s the question again: should M&As be undertaken during recession?

Maybe. But ten years later, Kunal hasn’t exactly been the image of visionary leadership that he was when he started off. For he is the man who has also led Sony on the downtrodden path to a poor number four in the GEC category in the latter half of 2008. So where did this media maverick go wrong? “I think Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) should have never ever happened… because I had a chance to buy it but I felt a quiz format will not be that appealing to the audience. I refused it...”, is what Dasgupta himself admitted earlier to B&E. And that exactly was the turning point. In July 2000, KBC was launched on Star Plus along with K-packed soaps. Within months Star Plus became number one in the GEC category. Since then, Dasgupta has been on an erring spree and Sony kept falling on expectations. And as he started faltering, his fears of being replaced became stronger, with alarming consequences.

An hour’s journey by flight is the charming Danang city which is famous for its fascinating Cham Museum, eminent China Beach and the Marble Mountains which can also be paid a visit en route to Hoi An. Hoi An is an ancient town and is an exceptionally well-preserved example of a South-East Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th century. Better known as Faifo to early Western traders, Hoi An was one of South East Asia's major international ports, and today it still retains that special old-world feel. It’s a pleasure to take a walk through the Old Quarters and to see the town's landmarks such as the Japanese Covered Bridge, ancient Assembly Hall and the Phuc Kien Temple. A visit to the ceramic village of Thanh Ha, carpentry village of Kim Bong and Dai Chiem Estuary is not to be missed. Hoi An is also well known for its large number of tailor shops, so get going with a brand new wardrobe.

One of the landmark cities in Vietnam is Saigon City known for its Notre Dame Catholic Cathedral, French built Post Office, the Reunification Palace and the tunnels of Cu Chi. Cu Chi tunnels were the location of several military campaigns during the Vietnam War and are an immense network of underground tunnels. Vietnam sure casts a spell for its tourists with its astonishing military history, its monumental heritage, cultural grounding and breathtaking scenery.

“I had to pick myself up and get on with it, do it all over again, only even better this time...”

ZEE BUSINESS BEST B SCHOOL SURVEY

As per the report on consumer spending titled ‘The Consensus World Outlook 2009’, real private consumption annual growth in India, after having fallen by 2.5% in 2008, is further forecasted to fall by another 0.4% in 2009! Mirroring past continuous falls, monthly consumer confidence in India also fell yoy by 22.4% in February 2009. But perhaps the most critical component in the Shoppers Stop saga is an innocuous issue pitting inhouse brands against external brands. While WalMart’s biggest success on managing cash flows comes from hosting a majority of inhouse brands, Shoppers Stop has 80% external brands. Today, Pantaloon’s and Westside’s growth and steady profits rotate around private labels, as 75% and 90% of their merchandise respectively is through in-house brands.

All in all, the fact is that Shoppers Stop does form an unmistakable historical pillar of India’s retail industry. The question is only about ‘how soon’, rather than ‘if’ Shoppers Stop can do it! Sam Walton, after suffering his first major business hit, wrote, “I had to pick myself up and get on with it, do it all over again, only even better this time...” Dear Nagesh, there’s your answer. Just do it better this time (and yes, throw me a call during the next discount campaign; I missed out this time).

Will MCX continue to rise along the hyper-growth trajectory it currently is on? deepak patra explores...

ZEE BUSINESS BEST B SCHOOL SURVEY

Rs.3,600,000,000,000; and in just a month?!?

Since inception in November 2003, MCX has come a long way to become the number one commodity exchange in India, clocking a mind-boggling monthly turnover of Rs.3.6 trillion on average, and garnering a total market share of 72%. No doubt, MCX has added the much-needed user friendliness and global linkage to the Indian commodity trading scenario, thereby widening options and offerings for the traders. But this is just the start of a long journey, as Joseph Messy, MD & CEO, MCX tells B&E, “The Exchange has taken pride in providing the necessary support and regulatory infrastructure for orderly use and functioning of the market. In that respect, considering the size of Indian physical market, we have a long way to go to ensure that benefits of this market percolate to all sections of the supply chain.”

Inorganic growth strategies have always been key to MCX’s rapid growth. The comex never seem to miss an opportunity to forge a tie-up with a global comex – be it in any symbiotic form – and therefore, this either helps in increasing its product portfolio or grants it an easy entry into foreign territories. The comex has acquired a big stake in Middle East’s largest commodity bourse – the Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange (DGCX), and is running exchange platforms in Mauritius through Financial Technologies India Limited (FTIL).

Reliance needs to engage with a global partner for its back end

ZEE BUSINESS BEST B SCHOOL SURVEY

Move ‘back’ men!

“Reliance Fresh failed because it was too aggressive with its strategies and wanted to capture the entire market without leaving any space for the middlemen and local retailers,” points out a Mumbai-based retail specialist. Reliance had planned to establish its C&C business (which has attracted international big wigs like Walmart, Tesco, Carrefour, Metro AG, et al) in Tier-II cities. However, tough economic conditions demanded conservation of cash reserves, so that business was scrapped.

Winston Churchill had once said, “If you are going through hell, then keep going.” Indeed, Reliance must keep going, but wthout repeating the mistakes of its past. Quite logically, Reliance will have to cut the flab that it developed in such a short amount of time. The company is also mulling over international tie-ups for back-end support. That is a prudent strategy, which has served players like Bharti & Tata well. Outsourcing supply chain management is more cost effective and feasible, especially for a geographically scattered country like India.

One could praise this tech-creation for forging new relationships, but the same can also be the culprit of broken relationships. A space where youngsters log on to find that special ‘someone’, also has those who enter the cyber world to get away from his/her someone. The hit Facebook fad has seemed to catch on to all, young and old. If you’ve watched the movie, Mitr, you’ll know that there are circumstances in life which can make one resort to an alternate source of companionship, to which agrees Deepti, who has been married for seven years. “I have an account on Orkut and Facebook and there are times when I’ve added strangers from a common interest community to chat at times. Though I haven’t been attracted to anyone, it still, is addictive,” she giggles and adds that she wouldn’t find it surprising if someone gets intimate and perhaps even “romantically involved” through such sites. Priyanka, not a very net savvy woman, shares, “My husband is very fond of on-line chatting and keeps in touch with friends through Facebook. Sometimes, when he surfs for long hours, it makes me slightly insecure and although I shouldn’t, my mind still forces me to peep into his laptop and check on him!

ZEE BUSINESS BEST B SCHOOL SURVEY

Not surprisingly, the exits of family CEOs from family owned firms led to increases in operating performance, revenues, employment, stock value, but only if the new CEO being appointed was from outside the family! A fact vindicated a few years before in 2003 by the radical Pérez-González of Columbia Business School; and even by Professor Borokhovich of Cleveland University; and by Bath, Trygve, Schone of Institute of Social Research (Journal of Corporate Finance, 2005); Slovin (Louisiana University) and Sushka (Arizona University)... the list is so endless that it seems stupid to keep on repeating the same fact. Clearly, family firms not only should hire professional outside management at the top, but also need to most definitely ensure that the CEO is “NOT” appointed from the family.
