“Though the exact causes of such heart failures are not known, there are often conditions such as Hypertrophic Cardio-Myopathy and Ventricular Fibrillation that cause such harm to sports people.

A country that was a net importer of sugar last year

A country that was a net importer of sugar last year (Indian Sugar Exim Corporation estimates), is still strictly dependent on monsoons for meeting its sugar demand, and this creates massively unstable price demand fluctuations, due to farmers’ tendencies to produce more than required in good times. According to Nayak, “When production of sugar increases, demand supply disequilibrium reduces prices, thereby dissuading farmers from sugarcane production,... which in turn, reduces the supply of sugarcane, the implications of which... again increases prices & subsequently increasing supply.”

Who is going to jump in?

This means that companies need a global network of people drawn from throughout the organization that can coordinate and adapt as events unfold, reacting immediately and appropriately to disruptions such as lapses in communication inside and outside the organization and losses of physical and human resources. (If a main office overseas suddenly drops out of a company’s network, who is going to jump in?)

This network needs to quickly cycle through a process of sensing threats, coordinating, responding and then sensing again. It needs to engage in creative and collaborative yet disciplined problem solving on the fl y, even as members of the crisis network move around or drop out. This is exactly what Marine expeditionary forces do. One reason the Marines are so nimble is that they practice. Companies should do likewise. A firm could establish a globally dispersed group with shifting membership that would devote, say, half a day every other month to engaging in crisis simulations.

Morda, it’s a rip off !

For steel magnate L. N. Mittal, the bedlam doesn’t seem to end. Ever since he proposed the bid to acquire Arcelor, Mittal has faced upfront resistance from Arcelor throughout. Right from poison pills to white knight attempts to racist remarks, Arcelor has gone all out to halt Mittal Steel in its tracks. After suppressing the ire of various governments and approvals from the European Commission, it seemed all was well. But that turned out to be illusory when Arcelor proposed to merge with Russian firm, Severstal on March 26, 2006, to create the world’s largest steel corporation.

Growing, growing... Gone!

Ten years ago, even the most ardent of AOL’s critics would not have predicted that AOL would ever move away from its revenue model. Basing their hopes heavily on the $25 subscribers, AOL had continuously ignored a bigger focus on the $17.4 billion online advertisement market, which is slated to grow even further to $26 billion in the next four years. But its competitors steadily ensured otherwise by successfully leveraging themselves through advertisement based dollars, and attracting scores of AOL ‘loyal’ subscribers to switch for cheaper options.
