Yana yearns for a lift’

IIPM PUBLICATION

After the long, irksome suspense, Adnan Sami has finally chosen Yana Gupta to sizzle in the video for his ‘justin’ album Kisi Din. And Yana stunned everyone as she generously took on the offer for zero payment and brushed off her generosity as nothing! As the business-minded concluded the chick had gone completely cuckoo, Yana justified her decision by saying that the video would portray a completely different side of her. Plus, we guess, joining the ranks of Rani and Amisha and featuring in the video of one of India’s favourite artists must be incentive enough for the Bollywood’s golden item girl.

‘Public’ Healthcare: It’s A ‘Private’ Matter

IIPM BEST B-SCHOOL

Looking at the brighter side, the private sector in India is home to the best medical facilities in the world. Growing at an enviable 25% annually, CII research confirms that medical tourism in India (primarily in the private sector) is worth $350 million and is expected to reach an estimated $2 billion within the next six years. Riding on unbelievable cost advantages over its developed cousins, the Indian private healthcare sector has obliterated competition with a skilled and contemporary manpower-technology combination. For example, even for a normal bypass surgery, B&E research shows how India enjoys a tub thumping 361.5% cost advantage over the same surgery in US.

Today, like everything else in India, even healthcare is profit-oriented. The government is focussing mainly on primary healthcare in India; ergo, corporate India has taken the secondary and tertiary healthcare routes, which are fast becoming the cash cows of the sector. IBEF shows how, with an average healthcare cost of $4.3 per person, private healthcare in India is nearly 50% more expensive than the public system.

Inborn strength? Or an acquired trait?

MANAGEMENT GURU

Que: You talk a lot about passion being the key to personal success. Is passion innate or can it be ignited in a person’s career? (Bob March, Fairfield, Conn.)

Ans: Every one of us knows a few people who are perpetually on fire. They’re madly in love with their work, about college basketball, over old jazz or modern art – whatever. They just pour their hearts and souls into life. And, given their unrelenting intensity, you can be pretty sure something innate is going on.

Let’s not talk about them. Like people born with blue eyes or high arches, they are what they are. It’s more useful to talk about the second part of your question: whether people can actually go from blasé to burning hot. And to that, as every good manager already knows, the answer is a resounding “Yes”! Passion can indeed be ignited, but it demands you draw on your own inner fi re, giving your people powerful answers to the questions: “Where are we going?” & “Why?” And “What’s in it for me?”

Porsche in a defensive mode

MANAGEMENT GURU

In order to prevent hostile takeover by any foreign firm, German sports car-maker Porsche AG has decided to increase its stake in Volkswagen causing discontent among EU. Porsche, which currently holds 27.3% stake, will be increasing it to 31% (up 3.7% valued at $1.34 billion), thus enabling Porsche (if it wishes) to make a full takeover bid under current German laws. It should not be forgotten that Volkswagen owns arch rival Lamborghini and Audi. Along with the S and RS range, the introduction of the A5 and S5 models by Audi have caused severe palpitations in the Porsche camp, as the cars compete with products like the Boxter. Analysts believe that the sports-car major wants a controlling stake in Volkswagen in order to deter hostile competition from the fellow German. This move can be interpreted in two ways first; either Porsche is laying foundation to make a full takeover bid to retain its long time ally or it is just xenophobic. Porsche denies this for now.
