Today is the era of information technology. Without help of the IT, no business can survive in this competitive corporate world. Today most of the businesses are going global & the pre-condition of a successful global company is that has to have a strong information technology. “Information Technology . . . is becoming increasingly the key to national economic well being, affecting virtually every industry and service. One would be hard-pressed to name a business that does not depend on the effective use of information: to design products and services, to track and respond to market demands, or to make well-informed decisions. Information technology will change the world more permanently and more profoundly than any technology so far seen in the history and will bring about a transformation of civilization to match.” The impact of information technology on business operations has been enormous and will increase substantially.Item CROWDSOURCING – A PYRAMID OF GLOBAL PARADIGM(Sree Narayana Guru Institute of Management Studies, 2012) Rajarajeswari MIt’s not surprising that professionals are increasingly drawn to crowd sourcing marketplaces and initiatives. The practice of tapping a crowd has long been used by business. For example, in 1916, Planters Peanuts held an open contest to develop its logo. What’s new about crowdsourcing today is how it uses web 2.0 technologies to rapidly and affordably reach a global crowd, engage their interest, manage and filter their ideas and feedback, and help choose the optimal scenarios to act upon. The most advanced crowdsourcing technology uses sophisticated algorithms based on deep knowledge of human behavior, and equips companies, organizations and governments with the ability to distill crowd input down to not just “what’s most popular” but what are really the most economically-viable and probable ideas to succeed. It’s not unusual for the contribution of a crowd to be worth millions to a company.Item INDIAN HERITAGE – A PATHWAY TO WORLD CLASS MANAGEMENT MARKETING(Sree Narayana Guru Institute of Management Studies, 2011) Rajarajeswari MEmerging from decades of economic isolationism, India’s reform process is now bringing this billion person economy into the global arena. Despite this rapid growth, consumer markets in India remain largely untapped and relatively undeveloped, although that is changing fast. India's constraints, infrastructure, saving, foreign direct investment, and politics, are well known. Smart companies are making brands more relevant to the Indian consumer by regionalizing their brands. There is also the need to identify future growth segments and start building a knowledge base from this perspective. Consumer companies say the most attractive factor is the sheer size of the Indian market. This concept has been described under two discussion areas, Strategies/Practices of Marketing - Past, Present, Future under which outlined strategies are focused in the respective perspective and Scenario of The Indian Consumer - Past, Present, Future in which customers response for the trends in marketing has been projected. With the increase in the viewership and reach of the channels to the villages with the help of DTH, the budget of the companies for the media has increased. India remained incredible to an exocentric audience outside, waiting with a whipping stick in any case, to whip the poster-boy country of the world today.
