While the US regulators believe that the situation is under control, Robert Keiser, Vice President, Thomson Proprietary Research, correctly raises the question to B&E, “If we were not worried, why are we making such a big deal out of the up-tick to 13.33%?” Stephen S. Roach, Chief Economist, Morgan Stanley, goes further while sharing with B&E, “Too much attention is being focussed on damage to housing and mortgage markets. There’s a much bigger story. The US housing market is currently in a serious recession. The real debate is about ‘spillovers’ – whether the housing downturn will spread to the rest of the economy.” Keiser of Thomson too, believes the same, “The underlying risk remains... that subprime delinquencies have the capacity to spill over in the US economy at large.”

Twirling Bush around in circles? Ask Cheney how...

MANAGEMENT GURU

Behind the shadows of ubiquitous George Bush’s presidency lies a man who has been instrumental in shaping the hard line ideological positioning of his administration. And this man – Dick Cheney, the elusive vice president of United States – remains an enigma. Allegedly the man behind the neo-conservative domestic and foreign policy, Cheney loves power and wields it happily. Yet, he has no aspirations to be the proud occupant of White House. The question then remains, is Cheney an ideologue who wants to steer the neoconservative agenda from behind? Or is he a hard core capitalist, whose ultimate aim is to convert power into profits? Does Cheney control the real reins of power and makes Bush dance to his beat?

...And New Frontiers Yet

MANAGEMENT GURU

With the Wal-Mart JV, Bharti has struck a hat-trick of ‘tying knots’, and that too with the best in the world. First it scored with EL Rothschild in 2004 to export agriproducts for US & Europe and second with AXA Group in 2005 to capture life insurance opportunities in the country. The logic, of course, is to leverage on complementary strengths.

The retail sector is expected to be a golden goose of $637 billion by 2015 from current level of $300 billion (According to KSA Technopak). Rajan Bharti Mittal confidently states that “retail will be the next big focus area for Bharti.” To give a pan-India network to its retail call, Bharti Enterprises plans to pump $2.5 billion by 2015. However, Bharti doesn’t enjoy the first mover advantage (unlike telecom). Tata, RIL, A. V. Birla Group et al have already scheduled retail as their next big foray. Political hurdles & rising concerns for mom & pop stores are also rankling for Bharti Retail, which is yet to germinate out of papers. The company plans to deploy a massive work force of 60,000 for its retail venture. But operational concerns such as manpower crunch (currently at all time high levels) & weak logistics mean that retail is fraught with not just tremendous promise, but also immense uncertainty.

Life’s death due to poor business!

MANAGEMENT GURU

Life magazine, published by Time Inc. was killed for the third and final time on March 26, 2007. The reasons are decline in the newspaper business and poor advertising predictions. In 1972, its weekly run ended, while in 2000, the monthly was taken off the stands. Life was known as the practical inventor of photo-journalism. When Time took over Life in 1936, it was known for good quality pictures and sold more than 13 million copies then. The title will live on a new website with photographs from its back catalogue.
