Mr. Harnath's analysis is proper and i concur with him. To supplement his views, Power attracts Money and Money gives one Purchasing Power. The worst is Power and Money together, ie MoneyPower which makes one to go above his head and then the natural and scientific great fall from great heights. IT was said by Mahatma Gandhi, that " there is nothing sufficient even if the whole world is at one man's feet, to fulfill this one man's greed" Thus today, whole groups of Greedy humans ( both men and women) are there who want many worlds and hence this Chaos and man eats man and woman eats woman- kind of situation

Future air cargo cost concerns
May 15, 2008
Big Security Chill At CNS | www.aircargonews.com
1. What equipment is certified by TSA? At this time no one manufacturer of screening equipment for cargo has been approved by TSA. Yet, the 1st time line, 50% of all passenger aircraft cargo screening must be done by February 2009. The 100% time line is August 2010. 2. There is a cost (still to be determined) for this screening, how much and who will be responsible for the cost? THe cost will have to be passed onto the customer for sure in some way, shape or form. 3. Shippers in the USA already endure Fuel Surcharges-FSC (approx USD 1.05 effective 22nd May 2008) plus Security Surcharge USD 0.15 kg. The FSC has doubled since May 2007.

Amazon Attempts a Monopolsts's Squeze
April 2, 2008
Amazon Tightens Noose on Print-On-Demand Publishers; Insists They Use Company's Own Service | www.washingtonpost.com
Amazon is attempting to own the book business by exercising control of the small fast growing independent end of the market. Ultimately having done much good for book buyers and helped publishers, Amazon is now in danger of squeezing the small houses they have helped encourage. Book publishing is in danger of having a very significant element of control levied by Amazon which will profit Messrs Bezos and Company in the short term but not in any way assist the development or innovation in the publishing business. In the long term Amazon will see their catalogue shrink. Their market share will decline and they will stifle the growth of the book publishing business. Make no mistake, this is a very very bad day for technological innovators, small businesses and publishing as an industry. For Amazon, it is a foolish plodding play of a monopolist which plainly has lost sight of the fact that treating suppliers with disdain will create a backlash. Finally expect higher book prices too!

Offshore Outsourcing Will Continue to Grow
March 11, 2008
Nearly Half Of U.S. Tech Companies Outsource Offshore | www.informationweek.com
US tech companies will continue to outsource offshore. The business case will continue to be compelling, and not just for labor costs. Proximity to emerging markets, globalization, Internet technology, widespread adoption of English, and improving business climates will facilitate growth in offshore outsourcing. Agile companies will be able to manage offshore risks.

Thomson-Reuters Merger Approved | money.cnn.com
The ability of the new merged management team to keep clients happy when products are merged is going to be a key issue in making this merger work. Staff are understandably nervous about their prospects and the history of Reuters in recent years has included a great deal of almost ongoing upheaval.

Outsourcing and Technology Companies at Risk!
March 7, 2008
Nearly Half Of U.S. Tech Companies Outsource Offshore | www.informationweek.com
Many technology companies depend on cheap offshore labor to control their labor costs. As the dollar continues to weaken those costs are escalating. Similarly, offshoring companies depend on selling services in the US, and the weakening dollar makes those services more expensive and will inevitably limit their revenue.

Turbocharging organization capability a la Google
March 5, 2008
Management a la Google, WSJ 4/26/2006 | online.wsj.com
Nearly all major companies are operating outdated organizational concepts that support egos and greed but do not use people and technology to maximize investor value. A few companies are challenging these concepts, Google being one, but no company has made the transformation to a truly "intelligent organization". The first company that establishes a true value focused culture and organization which recognises how people drive value and supports them with the technology that is now available will gain tremendous competitive advantage.

New Thomson-Reuters Combination Will Command 32% Share of US$23 Billion Market
February 29, 2008
Thomson-Reuters Merger Approved | money.cnn.com
The Thomson-Reuters merger approval reduces “the Big 3” financial information players to “the Big 2”. Not only does it dramatically change the market share of the dominant players but it also limits competition and vendor choice for the users of information…at least until a new vendor steps-up to create “the new Big 3”.
