This was among the top stories which got my attention….. and i had a thought what will happen if it is gonna happen…. I may be right or wrong… if i am wrong pls correct me….   Pros for them (in numbers) and Opportunities for us in(alphabets) the disguise of cons…. 1. Private Oil Companies though will be compensated for the sales, might prefer to operate the pumps which are logistically profitable in the short run as well as in the long run. ( Obviously all the current ones are already planned for that…so may be no new pumps in rural areas) a. In the current budget the Govt has allocated a lot of funds to rural areas. This might increase our sales in rural areas due to improvement in road transport, where we will be having  a small outlet. If sales increases we will be in a position to capture it rather than a private player tapping it.   2.They will have a marketing plan for each and every market. Say for example Car Owners in a particular area, College Students in ...

How to make effective decisions As an accountant and business partner, making decisions is an important part of your job. But good decision making needs practice. By Duncan Brodie FCMA, director of Goals and Achievements. Delaying decisions can have many negative consequences. For example, imagine that you failed to take a decision about a projected cash shortfall. You would not be taking any action such as arranging an overdraft, extending supplier payment terms or focusing on collecting monies owed to your organisation. You would get an unwelcome outcome - running out of cash is not likely to build your reputation. Barriers to effective decision making There are many reasons why people resist taking decisions. These include: 1. Procrastination - delaying or putting off something so that a small decision ends up becoming a major one. 2. Information overload - you have so much information that you don't know where to begin. 3. Waiting for perfect information - accounta...

இந்த வாரம் தலைப்பு செய்தி CAT பரீட்சை பற்றி தான். பல தொலைகாட்சி (தொல்லை காட்சி) செய்திகளில் இது பெரிய பரபரப்பை ஏற்படுத்தியது. நாட்டில் பல விவசாயிகள் பூச்சி மருந்து அருந்தி தற்கொலை செய்துகொள்ள வேண்டிய நிலை வந்த பொழுது கண்டுகொள்ளாத இவர்கள் லோபோ திபோ என்று குதிப்பதில் ஆச்சிர்யம் எதுவும் இல்லை.  IIM'il படித்து எந்த மேதாவி அரசு பணிக்கு வந்து மக்கள் பணியாற்றுகிறார்கள். மேல் நாட்டு நிறுவனத்தில் சேர்ந்து சேவை செய்வதை விட்டுவிட்டு யாரவது தேச சேவை செய்வார்களா என்ன?

With changing interest rates and pricey homes, here's how you can be a savvy customer. By Padmavathi Subramanian I live in what's arguably the city with the world's highest real-estate prices. But our Mumbai flat was too tiny—my family, I felt, deserved something better. Selling it and moving to an affordable, larger flat farther away from my downtown office, where I reach after an hour's commute, would make my life even harder. Then, in mid-2005, my next-door neighbours decided to sell their equally small flat. I bought it with a home loan from HDFC Ltd, pulled down a wall and joined the two flats to create a fairly large home. While applying for the loan, one question troubled me. Should I choose a fixed rate of interest, or a floating rate—one that could go up or down, depending mainly on inflation? Interest rates were low in 2005. But one never knows: "low" and "high" are relative terms in the world of finance. If I chose the 7.75% fixed rate off...

Dangerous Definitions: Know Your Hedge Funds The hedge fund industry may appear to be a risky investment choice right now but not every investment instrument referred to as a 'hedge fund' may necessarily behave according to the true definition. With a little research, hedge funds can still provide a good return. On the surface, the hedge fund industry, like telecoms, dotcoms and banks before it, is now apparently crashing and burning. Schadenfreude all round, some may say. In recognition of the fact that 'hedge fund' is an unhelpful modern misnomer in the same way that 'government bailout' is, we might like to establish some workable definition by which to measure what a hedge fund actually does. Or, rather, should do. How about: 'Moderately leveraged, bi-directional, speculative trading in liquid and transparent markets in order to achieve absolute returns unrelated to traditional asset classes.' This sounds simple enough, so why do most hedge fund...
