...their own set of acronyms and buzz words, but I’d like to provide some clarity to the commonly asked question, What is a 3pl? 3PL Warehouse Facility, photo by Joe Goldberg A couple years ago I put together a list to provide a3PL definition but truly understanding what a 3PL company is and the services they provide really deserves a more in depth explanation. While it isn’t immediately clear exactly who coined the term 3pl, its beginnings can be traced to the 70′s and 80′s as companies outsourced more and more logistics services to 3rd parties. Over time these 3rdparty logistics service providers (3PLs) expanded their services to cover specific geographies, commodities, modes of transport and integrated their existing warehousing and transportation services, becoming what we now know today as a “3PL” If...

... DOD COSTS OF NOT PREPARING FOR NEXTGEN Abstract In order to facilitate a significant overhaul of the civilian National Airspace System (NAS), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has partnered with many federal agencies, such as the departments of Transportation (DOT), Defense (DoD), Homeland Security (DHS), 2 and Commerce (DOC) and the National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) through a consolidated Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) that was established by Congress in 2003 in the VISION 100 – Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act (JPDO, 2012). The JPDO has proposed replacing the old NAS structure of primarily ground-based navigation with robust satellite-enabled air traffic procedures and to supplement ground-based air traffic controller workload with advanced datalink and trajectory-based operations algorithms for de-conflicting aircraft on the ground and in the air. The hope is to reduce the required separation between aircraft and the decrease the human workload, without sacrificing safety. Department of Defense (DoD) leaders should consider lessons learned from past decisions with regard to cost avoidance versus cost savings following the smaller domestic airspace change, reduced vertical separation minimum (RVSM). The lost cost savings from...

...Vertical View A Nano Car in Every Driveway? How to Succeed in the Ultra-Low-Cost Car Market Henry Ford’s historic promise in 1908 to “build a car for the great multitude” resulted in the production of more than 15 million Model Ts and created unprecedented mobility for consumers everywhere. Will India’s Tata Motors deliver on its equally bold promise to a new generation of consumers to bring the Nano to market for the “great multitude” at a price of $2,500? T o fulfill his promise “to build a car small enough for the individual to run and care for, [of ] the simplest designs that modern engineering can devise, [and] low in price,” Henry Ford exploited innovative product design, vendor relationships, manufacturing techniques and distribution methods. One hundred years later, entrants into the ultra-low-cost car (ULCC) market have the same agenda in their attempt to build a car with a price tag of $2,500 to $5,000, which is lower in comparable dollars than Henry Ford’s $850 Model T. Vertical View But this is not a history lesson that can be easily repeated. Today, all indicators point to an automotive industry in recession, requiring its leaders to balance the global economic crisis with future market demand. Industry consolidation and restructuring in global markets will accelerate, propelled by the lack of availability to capital and consumer financing, high fuel costs and low consumer confidence. Undoubtedly, a new and improved automotive...

...Background of Ericsson Lars Magnus Ericsson worked as telephones instrument maker when he was young. He worked for a firm which made telegraph equipment for the Swedish government agency Telegrafverket. In 1876, he and his friend Carl Johan Andersson started a telegraph repair shop when he was 30 years old. In 1878, Ericsson began making and selling his own telephone equipment, yet his technology is not enough innovative. Most of the inventions had already been made in the United States. He agreed to supply telephones and switchboards to Sweden's first telecom operating company, Stockholms Allmänna Telefonaktiebolag. Local telephone importer, Numa Peterson hired Ericsson to adjust some telephones from the Bell Telephone Company. He started to manufacture his own telephones similar to Siemens telephones at the end of the year. Finally his first product was finished in 1879. Stockholm's telephone network expanded and reformed into a telephone manufacturing company. Bell only allowed to use their own phones when he bought the biggest telephone network in Stockholm. So Ericsson's equipment sold mainly to free telephone organizations in the Swedish countryside and other Nordic countries. In 1883, Stockholms formed by Henrik Tore Cedergren partnered Ericsson to supply the equipment for his new telephone network as Bell would not deliver equipment to competitors. In 1884, a multiple-switchboard manual telephone exchange designed by C. E. Scribner at Western Electric could handle...

The pace with which different IT companies have been growing vary to a great extent. Even in terms of future guidance, one company hovers around 6-10% vis-a-vis another at 17%. Volatility has seeped into this industry. It is becoming increasingly difficult for the investors to invest in any of the companies, thanks to the sinusoidal growth of some of the bellwether IT companies. An investor needs to do an in depth analysis of the business model being followed by various companies. I need to look into their target geographies, service lines and industries. Scrutinising these parameters along with the valuation of the respective stocks will give a better idea about the future prospect of these companies. In this research, I have taken top four Indian IT companies- TCS, Infosys, Wipro and HCL. An in-depth analysis of each of the companies is done. I have looked into various domains of the companies.

...Journal of Economic Literature Vol. XLV (March 2007), pp. 83–126 A Flat World, a Level Playing Field, a Small World After All, or None of the Above? A Review of Thomas L. Friedman’s The World is Flat EDWARD E. LEAMER∗ Geography, flat or not, creates special relationships between buyers and sellers who reside in the same neighborhoods, but Friedman turns this metaphor inside-out by using The World is Flat to warn us of the perils of a relationship-free world in which every economic transaction is contested globally. In his “flat” world, your wages are set in Shanghai. In fact, most of the footloose relationship-free jobs in apparel and footwear and consumer electronics departed the United States several decades ago, and few U.S. workers today feel the force of Chinese and Indian competition, notwithstanding the alarming anecdotes about the outsourcing of intellectual services. Of course, standardization, mechanization, and computerization all work to increase the number of footloose tasks, but innovation and education work in the opposite direction, creating relationship-based activities—like the writing of this review. It may only be personal conceit, but I imagine there is a reason why the Journal of Economic Literature asked me to do this review. 1. Prologue hen the Journal of Economic Literature asked me to write a review of The World is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux 2005) by Thomas Friedman, I responded with enthusiasm,...
