Analysis of:Bloomberg TV Tries To Become A Player | www.cbsnews.com

Bloomberg TV is a studious but dull product suffering from a certain lack of focus on just whether it wants to be in mass market financial television or a specialist digital arm of the news and data vendor.

Don't dumb it down, smarten it up.

Analysis of:Bloomberg TV Tries To Become A Player | www.cbsnews.com

Business cable channels heyday was during the dot com boom, when basically any tech stock was a winner until the bubble burst. So-called experts became TV personalities and developed large followings. The amount of actual research and factual content behind their predictions was always questionable. Today, with the markets in termoil, I find it surprising that this format of lowest common denominator reporting has survived. The Cramers of the world seem more concerned with pumping their own stocks than in providing any worthwhile analysis.   But this does not mean Bloomberg TV cannot survive if it targets a more educated audience, rather than trying to compete with FOX/CNBC. If Bloomberg were to take the approach of, say, Paul Kangas on PBS's excellent nightly business report they could offer something new and worthwhile.

Analysis of:Recapture excellence by rehiring ex-employees | www.deccanherald.com

During recession, employers may witness crunch in the cash flow and would have been constrained to reduce pay hike to bottom line. The statistics point out that the overall hike percentage had been around 8% -12% globally. This would perhaps hit the recruitment and retention.

Outsourcing in difficult times

Analysis of:HR outsourcing gaining steam | www.hindu.com

The concept of outsourcing applies true to the present situation of global economy. Hitherto in the past, some sections of the corporate and politics, commented as redundant but now it is the ideology. With the precarious financial blow and pulling down of business shutters, outsourcing alone can come to the rescue of the Corporate houses. Those who can safely ride on the calculated leverage and assure a promising 'survival and existence' alone can gallop with dollars. How long could this go, is perhaps a question from the corners. Employers may pull along and the employees may not heed to the deteriorating melt down. How many of the third world countries are equipped to handle this, in the absence of its parent company not situated abroad?

Financials trimming payrolls should be no surprise

Analysis of:HSBC Announces 1200 Tops Job Cut | abclive.in

I don't believe that HSBC's decision to eliminate about .3% of its workforce should surprise anyone, nor does it indicate some sort of underlying micro-level weakness at the firm.  Financial firms across the globe have to carefully analyze their most expensive assets - people, in light of the current situation and the short & intermediate term forecasts
