Beautiful Hand-Made Wooden Vespa - Incredible!


The Vespa scooter has a classically appreciable shape. Portuguese craftsman Carlos Alberto managed to fashion one from laminated hardwood. 


The result is stunningly beautiful.


The little scooter is based on an original Vespa which had fallen into complete disrepair,

CEO'S THAT SUCCESSFULLY FAIL ! ! ! !

The myth that surrounds the persona of a CEO as a person who never fails has been blown away by the adversities that continuously affected the industry during the past couple of years. The supposedly best have bitten the dust, while some so called non entities have not only proven equal to the task but they have also successfully steered their organization out of the turmoil and put it back on the growth track.

What is the factor that separates the successful CEO from the ones that fail????  More

Branding is not democracy where everyone can claim 
equality status.It is an exclusive domain driven by
 extraordinary people with high-end deliverable 
attributes. Branding creates a indelible insignia,
which is visible and recognizable. The sheer force 
of its recall ability draws people towards it. Student & Faculty Programmes More...

Corporates and employers, please help us create Incisive Incubators for nurturing talent to take over responsibilities raise the bar and set new horizons of growth and prosperity.

The quality of curriculum and imparting is a frequently bemoaned subject. So also is the gulf between standards required by the industry and the standards delivered by the academia. Industry has to absorb huge losses in terms of money and time spent in gestation period that is spent in training the new entrants.

Don’t you think, we should come out of all these, and treat time and investment with more respect????

Some efforts are being made to make the candidates job ready, but they fall short of the requirement.
To address this situation, we have planned to create “Incisive Incubators” (eyes 2). More...

Is it fair to use the term “Reverse Innovation” for the technology emanating from India & China???

Is it fair to use the term “Reverse Innovation” for the technology emanating from India & China, especially when these countries are emerging as technology super powers????

There was a time when the Innovation was considered to emanate from the rich countries like USA, Germany, & Britain and spread to the rest of the developed world and then when it became obsolete in the developed world, it used to slowly drip down to the developing world as new technology. This was considered the process and procedure for the better part of the 20^th century, and was closer to the reality of the times also.

 In India, the protectionist attitude and the populist policies were responsible for that, on account of the over dependence of the political parties on the industrialists for party funding, which allowed the corporates to mint money by selling outdated technologies and products to the people. Government also on its part, to protect the interest of Indian Business House, did not allow new technology into India except for defence, where also India availed the rupee payment option for the bulk of the imports from Soviet Union.

Strategic Planning & Operations 08-26

Strategic Planning and Implementation for an organization, is akin to supply of oxygen to a Living Organism. The wherewithal’s and Tools for Strategic Planning and Execution.

This is an article positioned at the CEO, COO, CXO, and other senior management executives. The students can also read this article, but it is quite possible that they may find it confusing. I have tried to detail all the tools and implements that could be helpful in this process. Indians would be happy to know that an Indian PSU Hindustan Petroleum Corporation LTD has made it to the list  top twenty  organizations in the world, who have entered the BSC Hall of Fame Report 2011.They have for company, FBI, Abu-Dhabi Government, City of San Fernando Philippines and others. more....

Academy or Aca-Dummy 07-30

You are an Educational Institute alright, but…

Are you an Academy or an Aca-Dummy?

I feel, we have more of the latter…..

Last month I had written an article, which was a comparative one between the two of the world’s most famous B-Schools in the world “Harvard Vs Wharton a comparative study”. It is all about how an educational institution has to be, & the parameters and the metrics, against which the institutions have to be evaluated. Of course we could also do the same comparison between IIMs & ISB or IITs & the BITS. But the data available is not sufficient for carrying out a full analysis on all the relevant parameters. Some rankings that are being carried by the highly respected magazines are honest no doubt, but they lack the in-depth analysis. Even that is viewed by a very few parent. Usually the parents fall for the high claims made by the institutions in their ads. Hardly any institution is asked to substantiate its claims with documents.

We need a set of highly demanding parents to make the institutions more responsible in their thought and actions.  .....more...

Wharton vs. Harvard Business School

At the most simplistic level, you can think of Wharton as the school of facts and Harvard as the school of stories. Wharton is a numbers-driven, fact-craved MBA institution. Harvard is a story-driven place, as evidenced by its near total reliance on the case study method of teaching. As J.J. Cutler, deputy dean of Wharton’s MBA Admissions and Career Services, puts it, “We are a fact-based and data-driven school. We do not have a charisma-style approach. We let the data drive us and help lead us to the solutions.”

That sounds like a disguised knock on Harvard, and it might very well be. Yet, it gives you a clue as the basic difference between these two great MBA schools.more...
