corruption: keeps moving the system

The word "corruption" ridiculous word. whenever we are listening, reading this word we are fed up and started blaming to the system and government.

recently i was in Kenya for some business tour with my very close friend cum mentor. we ware in bar cum restaurant just chatting about the global crisis, one of the intellectual waiter of the hotel was also their chatting with one of the European business man.
as per the routine of the human being the waiter was blaming the government for the corruptions. same time as a habit of the intellectual person the European guys speak a sentence that corruption keeps things moving. it is good for the system.
this sentence still penetrating in my mind.
but when i started to understand the word really it makes me to understand it. why and where the corruption is good and where it is harmful for the progress of the country.
why it is good and why it is bad.
If a business man will start to follow the 100% rules ans system he can not do the business. if all the government officer start to follow the system everything will be stop.
Like if builder will start to follow 100% rules he can not construct the building and if the Government officer will be loose then that building will kill a lot of the people.
yes corruption is acceptable if it will not harm the system. really i am very happy to learn the lesson from the Gentleman.
if you have time please think about it...

corruption: keeps moving

The word "corruption" rediculous word. whenever we are listening, reading this word we are fed up and started blaming to the system and government.

Global Economy slowdown: what to do?

Every day US Banks going for merger or bankrupt.
Similarly, EU also facing the same problem the major growing field like IT, Banking, Infrastruture, petroleum market facing big challanges.
Every day share market falling down like anything.
The our main objective what to do? and how to manage the business?

I think this is right time to make a plan for new venture, analysis of the past achievement and except this how to improve our self in our competency area.

Similarly we have to for some training program, we have to arrange the seminar, presentation, pending work etc.

Becouse, why this is right time to plan? we have less work pressure and we can understand the worst situation.
Training is also imporatnt aspects becouse during the peak period we can not get sufficient time for self improvement rather than follow to same track.
Becouse after six to eight months all the things will be on track again we will not get time for improvement.

This is right time to take long holiday, tour , reading and refresh our self for the next step will be more effective than the last.

So dont be panic for wrong situation.....

1. Believe in Team work.: Manager delegate his work which he can handle and involve in the work which cannot be handle by team. and he should always have time to answer the queries of the team. Ready to motivate and review the step towards the goal.

3.Honesty is best policy: Most of the cases always clarify the doubt of the clients and clear your position regarding the time frame and resources.
4Lead the team: always ready for the team to motivate and boost up the energy by the performance appraisal and provide the some group activity.
5. Need a smart work not a hard work.

these points can ad up to provide the project on time...

Sports is good career opportunity

As the day by day the sports popularity increasing in India. It gives the better opportunity than other routine opportunity.
Now a days sports activity like cricket( ICL and IPL ) provide a lot of money along with the Fame. this is better opportunity than the routine career. A country can not be get the strength by one thing until or unless it will not come in all direction.

we are doing well in some the area well but in the sports we are worst one. How we can motivate the youngster to make the alternate career as sports.
The similer way the choice of the students career is decided by the parents. This is the reason that spots are the last choice of the candidate even though the life of the sports man his peak period is small but after that he can become good coach and trainer.
So really if you want make really India shining so we have to promote the sports. Those who are donating money to the trust better we can also sponsor the sports man by which they will motivate and come in front line

Great ABhinav....
Great Bijendra and Jitendra.....

Strategies gives a firm three benefits
1. It is source of economic gain
2. Frame of resource allocation

And on the other hand the three general factors which determine the firm profitability
i. Macroeconomics forces
ii. industry factors

So strategies which change the face of the organizations are the human factor.

India's inflation

As we all are aware that the infletion rates are changing rapidly. this is affecting all over the world. In this case how the India's inflation accelerated to a 13-year high after record crude oil costs forced the government to raise retail fuel prices for the second time in four months.

* Wholesale prices jumped 11.05% in the week to June 7, after gaining 8.75 percent in the previous week.

> Economists surveyed & analyzed and predicted a 9.79% increase.

Last 8.75%.Prime Minister Manmohan Singh increased retail prices of gasoline and diesel this month, joining China , Indonesia , Malaysia and Sri Lanka , as a near doubling of crude oil prices pushed up costs and threatened to erode profits of companies such as Indian Oil Corp. That may make the government less popular before elections due by May 2009 and force the central bank to further raise interest rates.
All Commodities 11.05%
Primary Articles 10.78%
Fuel, Power, Light 16.25%
Manufactured Products 9.09%

This is unexpected problem for the India where the Finance department and Top body is run by the expert of the Economist.

lets share your view may it click and change the scene of the world.
