Business – Business Frontiers

How important is not to “play safe in life” ?

Company room :

Melinda and Gates planned to launch its own specialised ‘Chinese Silk’ to enter the apparel industry. It has once again heated the environment of the company as people are divided over the opinion. Some want to invest in a patented technology so that fresh and new business opportunities open up. While other wants to invest in an existing market. CEO Taylor and VP of R&D Stelena are already divided over the issue of launching. If the company invests in existing technology patents will get expensive to defend and soon our company too would be in a price war with copycats. Stelena mentioned it would be tough to manage in a market where we don’t have a partner. But it is a battle one should fight. And this fight would not get restricted to the company’s walls but in new markets too, where our competitors are present and are well aware of our weaknesses. They might defeat us but what will be the cost of it? If we work efficiently and timely we can make more out of our investment. Taylor paused and stood, to leave the meeting room while confronting the fact that we can’t throw our stakeholder’s money in a flowing river just to try something new. Taylor wants Stelena to give him a more detailed report of why she thinks other ways are more opportunistic? Stelena’s character is unbiased and more deep seated.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE : NEED OF THE HOUR

INTRODUCTION

Creditors and other stakeholders of troubled companies allege that members of the companies, board of directors and senior management have engaged in problematic corporate governance practices. To solve the issue of governance in financial institutions several reforms have been made in the start of the 21st century, yet just after a few years cases of insolvency grabbed the attention. So the question arises, what might have gone wrong. Why were reforms made so effective? It might be possible that through reforms they just had added a few more laws and policies without improving the working process of boards and members of the company.
