I know most of the people tend to relate to that title. They are all positive about its benefits and how it helps solve many problems. But personally I have found they create more problems than solve them. Problems as in for the person who asks the question, not the problem related to the topic per se. It’s always better
Innovators Or Inventors – Who Are More Successful Businessmen?
This article from Spark blog at Qualcomm – Invention and Innovation: Barriers, Struggles, and Motivations got me thinking.
That article throws light on how innovators are basically process incremental experts. They study a process or a product and then come up with new ways at looking things or some changes that is improves and makes life easier. As the article says, in contrast, Inventors have no previous bases to compare to, so often they come up with ideas that are either put up too early or not in proper perspective. And we shouldn’t look down upon them for this.
Rahul Dravid as a role model for Corporate Managers
Everybody acknowledges the retirement of Rahul Dravid on Friday as a great loss to Indian cricket, though many say it was the right time for him to retire and he himself acknowledges it. I personally liked him as a player and his dedication to the game was legendary. If Sachin is a perfectionist at the game to be called the God, then Rahul is its most ardent worshipper. He worked hard and always has kept his head low and kept on doing the work that Sachin did in limelight of billion expectations. Though in open view it was his class of cricket that showed on field, but subtly he has been dishing out management lessons that one needs to be able to see. Lets see what they are.
Is Effective Operation Management behind success of Apple?
After reading this article on The Operations Room, which was posted in response to BusinessWeek’ s Apple’s Supply-Chain Secret? Hoard Lasers article, I now am able to understand, how did this company bounce back to write one of the most famous turnaround stories in recent times. And how it is still sustaining at the top. Recently it also crossed $500 billion mark in valuation (read details here). All this just goes on to show that, Tim Cook is one serious operations wizard, who caught the eye of Steve Jobs early and was perfectly chosen to lead Apple as he is doing so now.
Apple has always been known to bring out

Love isn’t just love
What is love? Most of us, have the notion of love being the physical act. But it’s not so narrow. Love is a way of life. The feeling of genuine care and fondness for the other person. Many people confuse love with lust or attraction. To understand love, you need to be with the person; you need to be close as friends, understand each other so well that sometimes nothing needs to be said at all. It is also very ironic that
Organisation’s New Innovation Source – Crowdsourcing!
In today’s competitive world, business organisations need to constantly innovate to be at the top of their business. But one cannot constantly build new products and test them in markets and discard them if they fail. It’s a costly way. Another way companies employ is to research and develop ideas into products and services for the future business growth. It’s a proactive approach but still its costly too if they still fail or don’t get enough business to justify the research investment. Crowdsourcing is the latest tool increasingly being employed by business organisations. They are asking their customers to provide them the ideas for the products they are ready to buy! How smart!
First let me explain in short about Crowdsourcing. Crowdsourcing is a
Nothing Motivates Better than Fear
Motivation and Fear drive this world. These two either in tandem or at crossroads can either work with you or against you to let you lead a successful life. Sometimes even though we are highly motivated to perform a particular task, our fear gets the better of us and we falter at the task. While at other times it is the fear of failure which motivates us to perform our task and duties! How ironic!
Hello World!
I am not new to blogging. I had an encounter with it few years back. But then, at that time, I was one of the many thousands who were swept by the blogging phenomenon. I was unsure about how to use it to full effectiveness. This time I am better equipped but still clueless. I am going to use this medium to share my thoughts and feelings about things and express my views about the varied experiences life throws at me. So hop along and be open to share or comment back on any posts if you feel it requires your valuable opinion; because I value communication and discussion higher than blind acceptance.
This being the first post, I would like to keep it small, but can’t resist sharing that I am not clear as to how this blog would go. Whether I am doing something creative or just wasting my time, effort and energy. And I can only know it when I walk along this path…
Follow me or join me and experience life and time in this world together.
