    Navneet Alang: Article Analysis

    In the article, “Online freedom will depend on deep forms of web literacy” the author Navneet Alang reveals the importance of “teaching kids language and rhetoric, so that one day they might pick apart politician’s speeches or learn to recognize a scam.” Adults even now in our time and age struggle to do such a thing. This is why we must first attempt to understand, then pass our knowledge along to our children, in hopes that they continue passing down the awareness.

He reveals how stranded he felt “in this newly alien environment that used to seem like home.” This situation is an example of how powerless we are when wanting to match…

However, the factory at Bombay became the headquarters of the Company. Eventually the region was divided into the three presidencies of Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay. In consequence, they were still responsible to the Court of Directors in London and the East India Company garnered huge profits generated by a system of triangular trade that saw English gold and silver coins traded for Indian goods.…

    Example of Product Strategy

    ITC was incorporated on August 24, 1910 under the name of 'Imperial Tobacco Company of India Limited'. Its beginnings were humble. A leased office on Radha Bazar Lane, Kolkata, was the centre of the Company's existence. The Company celebrated its 16th birthday on August 24, 1926, by purchasing the plot of land situated at 37, Chowringhee, (now renamed J.L. Nehru Road) Kolkata, for the sum of Rs 310,000. This decision of the Company was historic in more ways than one. It was to mark the beginning of a long and eventful journey into India's future. The Company's headquarter building, 'Virginia House', which came up on that plot of land two years later, would go on to become one of Kolkata's most venerated landmarks. The Company's ownership progressively Indianised, and the name of the Company was changed to I.T.C. Limited in 1974. In recognition of the Company's multi-business portfolio encompassing a wide range of businesses - Cigarettes & Tobacco, Hotels, Information Technology, Packaging, Paperboards & Specialty Papers, Agri-Exports, Foods, Lifestyle Retailing and Greeting Gifting & Stationery - the full stops in the Company's name were removed effective September 18, 2001. The Company now stands rechristened 'ITC Limited'.…

    British East India

    In order to dominate, one must first to gain the rights to conquer. If one wanted to be a competitor of the current imperialistic power, it must first defeat the imperialistic power. This is the case for the British East India Company. Before its establishment, the company faces many strong powers such as the Portuguese, Spaniards, and Dutch. In 1588, Spanish Armada were defeated, British were able to enter this competitive field in order to start their quest in exploring and colonizing the international markets. This marked the start of the British East India Company. Initially, the doubtful Queen Elizabeth did not approve of this venture for the British, but after the defeat of Spanish Armada, she became more confident. As a result, on the last day of the year 1600, she granted a charter incorporating 217 subscribers under the name of “The Governor and Company of Merchants of London trading into the East Indies”. This company was also known as the British or the English East India Company. This provided the company with an exclude trade with India for fifteen years. The first governor and the twenty-four committees were nominated that year, and afterward, these positions were elected annually. This company was also the first limited liability corporation, and it began with 125 shareholders and £72,000 of capital. In many ways, this company gradually evolved from a company to an extent of the British government, and influenced its political power especially in the state of India.…

    Sir Pherozeshah Mehta was born in Bombay, on August 4, 1845, where he spent the greater part of his life. His father, Merwanji Mehta, belonged to a family of merchants. Pherozeshah entered the Lincoln's Inn in 1864 and spent three years qualifying himself. Called to the Bar in 1868, he left for home in September 1868. While in England, he used to frequent the house of Dadabhai Naoroji, and these visits were to remain important influences in moulding his liberal outlook. Several of his close friends were liberals; besides Telang and Badruddin Tyabji (who along with Pherozeshah were described as "the three bright boys of Bombay"), Ranade, Gokhale, Wacha, W. C. Bonnerjee and Bal Mohan Wagle were close to Pherozeshah. This made him a part of the Liberal School of Indian politics. His antipathy to violent methods in politics alienated him from Tilak and Pal, his innate trust in constitutionalism, his dislike of regional and communal developments, made him criticise Sir Syed Ahmad Khan. These were characteristics that distinguished the Liberal School in Indian politics. Education, both primary and higher, absorbed his interests throughout his life. He saw in education the means by which India could modernize itself rapidly; he laid great emphasis on the value of English. He had a hand in the establishment of a Swadeshi bank, the Central Bank of India. Pherozeshah is remembered mainly as the maker of the modern Bombay Municipal Corporation which he fostered and served in a distinguished manner for nearly half a century. He was mainly responsible for the founding of an English newspaper, the Bombay Chronicle (April 1913), which became an important agency for expressing Indian public opinion. In the nationalist movement, in the forming and running of political associations and in serving Governmental official institutions. Pherozeshah had a notable record. In the proceedings of the Indian National Congress…

    Fourth Gen

    By S. Bridget Leena Chennai: Chennai’s business landscape is dotted with blueblooded business houses, some of which can trace back their history at least a hundred years, but even among them, the TVS Group stands apart. The group came into being in 1911, when the then 32-year-old T.V. Sundram Iyengar gave up his timber business and started running a bus service in Madurai, Tamil Nadu. Legend has it that commuters would set their watches by the arrival of the buses. There are other legends associated with the group as well: about the sheer quality of the auto components many of the groups companies would make (many went on to win awards, including the prized Deming medal for quality, manufacturing’s Oscar); about the prudence of its financial services firms; and about the conservatism of the managers. The last is a generic quality associated with many south Indian business groups of TVS’s vintage, and it is telling that even a young member of the current generation of the family (the fourth) subscribes to this theory.…
