...India take on Project TKO and develop an EKG specifically for the local market? Why or why not? TKO, “Technical Knockout”, is single channel EKG, Bella Healthcare India is planning to launch in Indian market. As per my opinion, Bella has many reasons to take up this opportunity. I will categorise these reasons in two broad categories, External and Internal factors. First external factor that affects decision of Bella to take TKO is large population of India with insufficient health care services. India’s population is large and growing but healthcare facilities are not growing with the same rate. Also most of the medical facilities of the country are concentrated in urban areas, leaving rural area with insufficient healthcare facilities. Unfortunately, most of the Indian population stays in small towns and villages. Another fact, in line with this, is availability of less no of physicians and specialists in the field of heart diseases. This has created room for medical services and devices sellers to expand their businesses in the country. The EKG global revenue chart shows that between 2010 and 2015, 9% – 12% of the global revenue will come from Asia-Pacific. As one of the second highest population country in Asia-Pacific, India will definitely contribute major portion of the revenue. The figures in the chart substantiate the fact that Bella has good scope to expand its services in the country. Second factor that helps Bella to take go ahead decision for TKO is increased rate...

Demands continue to remain low as against the expectations of the Indian auto makers, due to the crisis in the economy, increase in fuel prices and loan rates. Until few years ago, this industry boomed with sales but the falling value of Indian rupee is only bringing its depreciation.

India’s share alone for the demand of gold comes to around 25%, which is a very large number considering there are around 200 countries in this planet. One of the main possibilities for this astronomical demand for gold in India might be because of the fact that gold plays a major role in Indian culture. Festivals like Diwali and AkshayaTritiya demand the use of the gold irrespective of the fact that gold is a very costly metal. Gold is a commodity which represents status symbol (conspicuous goods) The reasons why there is a mismatch between the demand and the supply of gold in India is quite obvious. Hutti gold mine company in Karnataka being the only company in India to mine and process gold ore and the fact that we recycle about 105 tonnes of gold per annum to meet the demand adds to the point that there is a huge gap between supply and demand for gold in the country. One fourth of gold is consumed by Indians. Even though India produces only 3 tonnes per annum, demand for gold is more than 700 tonnes which is largly being imported. In the year 2008 during the diwali time the demand for gold...

...specializes in designing and manufacturing electronic devices. Although the firm had a rapid growth in market share and a huge production scale, the company did not perform well in terms of profitability. There are several factors that may lead to lower profit margins .The great amount of rivalry among existing firms can affect the firm’s profitability. Many firms, such as Compal, Quanta, Mitac, etc., have virtually the same services as Inventec; therefore, the competition amongst these corporations is ferocious. Secondly, a threat of new players within the industry is extremely high in Taiwan. Due to lax government regulations, any company with interests in the ODM industry can easily venture into the industry. Another issue affecting the firm’s profitability is the bargaining power of buyers and sellers. Inventec Corporation, from the perspective of buyers, has a limited customers list; this could give more power to buyers. The major portion of the company’s sales is comes from HP and Toshiba. Therefore, Inventec cannot switch customers easily. Consequently, Inventec has no choice but to accept aggressive pricing strategies from its principal customers. This forces their profit margin to drop below four percent. Due to the highly competitive nature of the ODM industry, Inventec faces a huge amount of pressure from internal and external sources. Despite the company’s large market share, the pressure from customers and rivalries leads to a lower profit margin. 2. What are the...

...Kindle and Indian Market Market Segment Scope and Target Customers There is a huge scope for expansion of the tablet market in India. There are 81 million households that fall under the rich and the consuming classes, this may be our target market. The eInk reader of Amazon will compete in this marketas well as the entire market above the poverty line as it is priced lower than the tablet (INR 5999). As per statistics 1 per 17 people possesses a PC/Laptop/Tablet in India, around 95% untapped market for the e-reader exists. The tablet sales in INDIA in 2013 were $ 4.14 million, however there has been a 32.8% drop in tablet market shipment for Q1 2014 in INDIA. This drop can be attributed to two reasons: 1. Most tablet users have them as their secondary or tertiary devices and thus expect something different that laptops/smartphones do not offer. 2. Bureau of Indian standards (BIS) has implemented strong regulations of quality and safety, which many new entrants are not able to match. Positioning Factors and Marketing Mix Under such scenario, Amazon will have a strong positionas its KINDLE devices are highly innovation driven and substantially better in quality and durable as compared to other products. These 2 factors should be considered the “Key positioning factors” for kindle. The Current Tablet Market in India is highly dominated by Samsung (56.52%) and Apple (22.53%) which constitute (¾)thof the total market.

Introduction 3 2. Regulatory Framework 3 3. Why should there be any impact on liquidity or volatility 4 4. Analysis 5 5.Impact on Liquidity 10 Conclusion: 13 References 14 1. Introduction Increasing globalization in the last decade has made Indian financial markets more integrated with the rest of the world. As a result, many Indian companies have gone for raising funds in foreign capital markets by way of issuing ADRs and GDRs. Though cross listing is viewed positively by many corporations, many researchers have shown that changes in liquidity and volatility may affect quality negatively in the domestic markets. Since companies from emerging markets go for raising funds from foreign liquid markets, some policymakers fear that if allowed unrestricted, this may impact the development of local equity markets and hence prove disastrous for emerging markets. Existing studies show that effect of foreign listing depends on factors specific to firms, market and country. Indian GDRs trade on European exchanges and ADRs trade on US exchanges. Also, since US requires higher quality disclosures than Europe, cost of listing in US markets is higher. 2. Regulatory Framework As part of its economic liberalization policy in 1992, Indian government allowed Indian companies...

Some well known financial organizations also took the necessary initiatives to restructure the corporate sector of India by adopting the mergers and acquisitions policies. The Indian economic reform since 1991 has opened up a whole lot of challenges both in the domestic and international spheres.
