GETTING REAL ABOUT GOVERNING CORPORATIONS Wall Street seems to have pronounced the death knell of capitalism. It has fallen victim to the worst form of crony capitalism of which it used to blame the Asian economies. Never before has the downward-slide been so persistent, so long and so sharp. Every measure that the US government is taking to prop up the market or the dollar seems to be working otherwise....full story .................................................................................. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE – KEY TO SUSTAINABLE WEALTH CREATION 4th World Congress on Environment Management Seismic waves of corporate collapses continue to rip through the boardrooms across the world. Markets all over the world are sinking to their bottom. Dow Jones index has been below 8000, FTSE 100 is well bellow 4000 and Sensex hovering around 3000, their lowest levels since 9/11. The upper most question in everybody’s mind is how to bring back sanity into the markets. The general belief is the market collapse is because of the lack of investor confidence due to accounting frauds...full story ............................................................................... Keynote Address by Dr Madhav Mehra on the occasion of the 4th World Congress on Environment Management at Palampur His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, my revered friend Shri Shanta Kumarji, my mentor and guide Justice Venkatchaliah, Mr William Halal, Mr Khurana, Gen. Ahluwalia and my most distinguished friends in the audience. I am indeed honoured to be here today on the occasion of the 4th World Congress on Environment Management. Your Holiness, we are indeed grateful to you that you have blessed us by your gracious presence. We do not have words to describe the enormous elation that we feel by your beneficence. The fact you could be with us today right on the dot despite your extremely busy schedule has filled our hearts with joy, humility and eternal gratitude to you........full story ................................................................................ Sustainability - the Biggest Business Opportunity of the 21st Century Shattering of a huge ice shelf Larsen B weighting 500 million billion tons in Antarctica last week must enliven the environment debate once again. Is it the clinching evidence of climate change through global warming that we have been waiting for? What is grave is that the total area of ice shelves which have disintegrated since 1945 is 7700 sq. km., whereas Larsen B. alone is 3250 sq. km. There have been several warnings before of Antarctica heating up....full story ................................................................. Corporate Governance -A Road Map to Achieve Corporate Excellence I compliment the Institute for the choice of the topic. Role of Corporate Governance has never been more vital. It is not just because of Enron or the UTI. The debate about corporate governance is taking place all over the world. During the past one month I have visited UK, US, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Canada, Russia and the Middle East. Corporates and governments everywhere are seized with this topic and hoping this will help them attract foreign investment. In fact the issue of Corporate Governance is much more....full text ................................................................................... Corporate Governance in the Knowledge Economy 2nd International Conference on Corporate Governance, In 1966 Lester Thurow wrote in the "Future of Capitalism" : "Paradoxically at precisely the time when capitalism finds itself without any serious competitor, its former competitor socialism and communism having died, it will have to undergo a profound metamorphosis". That profound metamorphosis has now begun in the form of developing an effective framework for corporate governance....full text .................................................................................... Changing TQM Paradigm - From Industrial Age to Knowledge Economy Congress Theme Address at the World Congress on Total Quality The internet has created a Cambrian explosion of opportunities which has brought forth profound change in the competitive environment. Whether you call it a network economy, a digital economy, knowledge economy, e commerce, e business or e.world as I prefer to call it, it is clear that we are poised on the crest of a revolution as profound as the one that gave birth to the modern age. Contrary to the general belief, this revolution that is changing our lives hour by hour is not being driven by computers but by the power of communications. Four factors are responsible for it. These are: ..... full text ................................................................................. LEADING CORPORATE TRANSFORMATIONS IN THE NEXT MILLENNIUM Distance is dead. Long live the screen. The marriage of prodigious computing power with telecommunications is altering our world hour by hour and making all of us rapidly deteriorating assets. From living in Marshall McLuhan's global village we have been transported to the Burra Bazar of Calcutta where our every movement and each nuance is causing ripples that effect everyone else. Change- economic, social or political - has been the biggest threat to business. But today it provides the only grist to business's mill. Ignored or unanticipated it can be devastating. But tapped properly it can offer the greatest opportunity and act as the most powerful engine for growth even to the most fledgling business. The greatest challenge for transformational leaders lies in anticipating and adapting to change, using it to spark innovation and generating creative ideas to exploit change....full text ..................................................................................... COMPETING THROUGH INNOVATION Change - economic, social or political - is the biggest threat to business today. Ignored or unanticipated it can be devastating. But tapped properly it can offer the greatest opportunity even to the most fledgling business and act as the most powerful engine for growth.
