Okay, here’s a quiz...

Q. What is Orissa’s capital?
A. (Oh! What an easy one), Bhubaneshwar. Next?

Q. What’s its catch-line?
A. Umm... Forget recalling, most people are not even aware that almost all Indian states have a positioning statement to flaunt. Looking at the present scheme of things, it seems that a few months down the line, people will recite the taglines in the same breath as the capitals of the states.

If destinations (already quite high on the tourist’s lists) like ‘God’s Own Country’ – Kerala and ‘A perfect Holiday destination’ – Goa are advertising themselves like there is no tomorrow, then less popular ones like “Peaceful Pondicherry” are the latest to jump onto the bandwagon. A bunch of 575 islands on the tip of India, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, has roped in five advertising agencies (yes five!) of late, and the marketing budget is reportedly between Rs.6-7 crore for 2007-08. Promotions at International fairs, roadshows, tie up with tour operators, holiday packages, tours for travels writers et al, have almost become a norm.

Riding the crest of the ‘liquidity’ wave

IIPM BEST B-SCHOOL
The question, however, is what rising and declining asset prices mean for an investor. Still, US debt is growing muchfaster than nominal GDP. So far, this excessive debt growth has led to strong asset inflation, over-consumption and an explosion of the US current account deficit from 2% of GDP in 1998 to close to 8% of GDP at present. But in the Euro region, private sector credit growth has been at least as strong as in the US. So, what does this mean? If the US Fed tightens relative to the ECB, the dollar should rally against the Euro. Conversely, if the ECB tightens relative to the Fed the Euro should continue to strengthen. But then if the Euro continues to strengthen, it is likely to slowdown European and accelerate US economic growth. In such a case, the possibility of tighter US monetary policies relative to European monetary policies would have to be considered. In my opinion, this would be the case if the US dollar fell to 1.35 against the Euro. So, whereas I maintain my negative stance towards the US dollar, I am not sure that the dollar has a huge downside risk against the Euro. However, looking at the speed of international reserve accumulation by Asian central banks and in particular the rise in Chinese reserves – now over $1 trillion – it seems that Asian assets would likely out-perform US assets in the long run. When countries have current account surpluses the size of China, three events can happen. Either the currency strengthens considerably or asset prices increase or both currency & asset prices increase.

IIPM Press Release :- YouTube is indicative of an emerging media revolution, where everyone's invited

IIPM PUBLICATION
Google has purchased YouTube for $1.65 billion. The numbers are staggering. Especially for something that does not seem to have a lot of commercial value, is definitely part of the fabric of “social computing” and is very much exposed to lawsuits for copyrighted content (even more than before considering Google’s “deep pockets”). This is so reminiscent of the Internet Bubble and of over-inflated values for companies with no assets, except for a web site, an idea with a chance to catch the public and nothing to show in terms of revenue.

But this is much more. The key is the evolution of the Internet and its value as a means of communication. Historically, human communication started with text, moved to audio and then to video. Moving from text to audio took about 5 centuries, but moving from audio to video only about 50 years. The same type of development, only a lot faster, is anticipated for the Internet. It started as a way to post & communicate text & still pictures, then moved to digital voice & music. The next giant step is video: news, sports, movies, et al. In fact, we believe that in a short time frame, the Internet will be the prime platform from distributing video content, competing and eventually replacing your video store and your cable or broadcast distribution.

IIPM Publication :- Jet Airways to flythe American way...

IIPM BEST B-SCHOOL
Jet Airways has delivered a major blow to all the airlines of the country by signing an exclusive code sharing agreement with the world’s largest carrier – American Airlines, for flights operating between India and the US. As per the deal, travellers from across the Indian terrain will access the Jet Airways’ network to first travel to London, then fl y to Chicago and also further via the American Airlines’ network. The catch here is – with a single ticket to Chicago, sales of the both the airlines will get a strong push.
