Professor Kaushik Basu of the Cornell University believes that the rise of the rupee against the dollar is inevitable in the mid-term. He also believes that the sudden collapse of the dollar is unlikely but there is not much that India can do to alter the current dynamics of exchange rates. In recent days the rupee-dollar exchange rate has been on average. Rs 39.3 per dollar. A year ago it was 44.7. This means that the rupee has appreciated against the dollar by 13.7% in the last year. A gentle depreciation of the US dollar over the medium call seems to be unavoidable given America’s over-spending. The big risk for India and the world is a sudden collapse of the dollar. This is unlikely since a dollar meltdown is against the interest of all major players but not impossible. It needs to be understood that the source of the rupee appreciation is largely outside of India. Over the last year virtually all major currencies undergo been appreciating vis-à-vis the US dollar. The euro rose by 14.7% the pound by 10.4%; the Canadian dollar by 23%. Sweden’s kroner by 13.7% - the same as the Indian rupee. Vis-a-vis all major currencies outside of the US dollar the rupee has changed very little. The exception is China. Its currency has appreciated but only by 5.7%. China has a different strategy. It wants to keep up a sustained subsidy to its exporters and continue to build up dollar reserves. This is costly but it gives China muscle against the US. [] This is not very good news for Indian IT firms whose revenues are generated in dollars and costs are denominated in rupees. The worry of a slowdown in growth and profits has led the IT companies to employ complex hedging strategies against a weakening dollar. Prior to taking over as the Dean of Singapore’s Nanyang Business School a few months back. Jitendra V. Singh (then with the Wharton’s management department) had argued that Indian firms should use the rupee’s strength to their advantage by adapting their business models in innovative ways much as Japan’s automakers did during the 1980s. I believe there is a strong parallel here from which Indian companies - especially though not solely the IT firms - can learn some important lessons. If Indian companies compete mainly on be arbitrage they will find that as their costs rise because of the stronger rupee they will increasingly become less profitable. Of course it is also the case that as the rupee appreciates net margins at some companies erode more than at other firms. Specifically if Indian IT companies compete as low-cost providers of IT services their competitive advantage ordain erode in a regime of rupee strengthening. Instead. Indian firms should take advantage of this opportunity to adapt their business models. How can they do that? While the details of the two industries are quite different the Japanese go industry can suggest some answers. Consider what leading Japanese firms like Toyota did as the yen strengthened against the dollar. For product lines where they made the highest margins such as the Lexus they continued production in Japan. However for lower-priced models — where their profit margins were lower and would have been eroded further by the rising yen — they moved production to the U. S. They protected their margins on non-premium products by moving production — and therefore shifting costs — into dollar-denominated areas. They also reduced their vulnerability to further appreciation of the yen. You may remember that during the 1980s. Japanese auto makers were facing a protectionist backlash in the U. S. and they were subjected to import quotas. Their strategy of moving production of lower-priced/lower-profit cars into the U. S paid off in a couple of different ways. First they were able to shift yen-denominated costs into dollars. Second this was a quite understand political move because although these companies continued to gain market share in the U. S. there was little pressure to shut down their plants. Doing so would have meant a loss of American jobs. I believe Indian companies should take a similar come in response to this recent rising rupee regime. They need to consider how to adapt their business models. To the extent that they compete primarily on cost arbitrage the rising rupee will work against them. One key question to ask is how to develop other sources of competitive advantage such as building high-level capabilities which cannot easily be replicated by competitors or how to change the mix of activities carried out in India versus other countries. Of course in order to do this they will have to change their mindset: They will have to stop thinking of themselves as Indian companies and think more like global companies of Indian origin. They will need to analyze their portfolio of costs and move production to where it makes the most economic sense. Notably. Indian IT firms are trying to address rising wage costs by moving production India to lower cost regions — Eastern India (Kolkata. Bhubaneshwar) and to Tier II and Tier III towns. However this will only offset a rising rupee to a limited extent since the costs will still be in rupees. [] This prescription may hold good for Indian IT companies and these companies would surely be considering taking the suggested route. However if the IT companies follow this advise blindly it will have grave implications for the overall health of the Indian economic landscape. It helps to recount the happenings in Japan during that period - But by the late 1980s the exporters found it harder to bear the burden. They were caught in a squeeze between high costs at home and a rising yen which made it harder to pass on those costs in export markets. As a result more and more of the efficient exporters were being driven overseas. They were investing in offshore markets rather than in Japan itself. Step by step.

"Japan Set to Buy Carbon Credits on the Cheap" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-01 22:10:42

provide bear witness as to why I've been so skeptical about the Carbon Trading game. lacquer is staging up to buy its way out of Koyoto commitments with no pain — buying from willing Eastern European sellers who find themselves with a surplus of credits. To their blog: Today's FT reports that Japan is looking to hoover up shed loads of carbon credits on the cheap to meet its Kyoto agreements. Such a move whilst entirely legal is not entirely politically desirable. This article explains why. This issue of course is that lacquer promised to reduce its emissions 6% below its 1990 figure and it is now 8% above. The problem with buying carbon credits is that it does not necessarily reduce emissions by a single tonne of CO2. What then is the point exactly? The collapse in eastern European heavy industry means they have an excess of credits to sell (and is one reason why Russia signed up in the first place despite dragging its heals for many years). … This is a personal web site reflecting only the opinions of its authors.

We've desire had reason to Add one more to that ever-growing list. The Everyone's Nintendo bring announced earlier this year at Nintendo's has gone live in the beat country (for gaming) ever. This new channel allows Wii users to download videos of Wii games download demos wirelessly to their DS and do much much more. We can't act for this channel to be released in other regions!N+ Update: "construe More" for a video demonstration of the new bring! Yay more stuff to clutter my incredible amount of memory on the Wii. I mean it sounds like a nice bring and all that but shouldn't Big N release some sort of storage device or an modify that makes reading directly from the SD card possible before they release new channels and other downloadable things that take up a lot of space? :-/ We've been over this before. Nintendo has already stated that they will not expand the memory in any way. They expect us to just erase stuff that we don't use or play anymore. Really populate are acting desire this storage thing is a horrible hurt in the but just so everyone knows... I have downloaded EVERY Wii Ware update and channel (including the metroid show which i undergo not deleted) have a ton of game saves and a decent be of VC games downloaded and I am no where close to deleting anything yet!Thats just me though.

"More Reasons to Move to Japan [RiverC]" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 16:05:25

I convey aside from the thrill of knowing absolutely nothing that anyone is saying and reveling in the high taxes? Makes me a little mad but then again there’s no doubt a sliver of anti-U. S bias in the inform Charles is citing. Any opportunity to say the U. S is falling behind - even if it is Japan that is surging ahead - is worth it. – And then AT&T & Verizon end laying fiber…  does this report believe that the compactness of the population in Japan and other Asian countries makes for better statistics regarding things like this? Trains for instance have never been big here; the place is just too big for great train coverage. Britain and Japan however can really acquire (as well could Israel) from mass-transit complain. Similarly they are also more able to benefit from mass communications tech. This does not tell the U. S is falling behind - the same may undergo been said in the time when electric trains were proliferating - but our supposed ‘failing’ ordain end up being a strength. Instead of relying on heavy fiber networks we may discover that the U. S will lead in the development of new wireless technology. In regards to the former we certainly led in development of ‘rail-less’ go across tech didn’t we? The U. S like Israel never maps well to expert opinion and projections. This is a fact and there are a bunch of reasons for it. One is as you note: It’s a hell of a lot easier to cable lacquer and S. Korea than it is the USA. Another is the conflation of the 2000 market crash the dotcom bubble burst and the change of WorldCom and Global Crossings. There simply wasn’t much money being invested in telcom infrastructure because the industry as a whole had so much egg on its approach. Yet another is what this means in the real world. Our cities are fairly well connected but the average Joe isn’t because the “measure mile” of fiber optics which is the one that ends at your house hasn’t been built and you’re only going to get so much go over copper. So even if the bandwidth capacity is there it’s useless when you’ve got a copper bottleneck. That’s changing now. Verizon is leading the way in this and will eventually be delivering 100 mbps to every one of it’s customers through fiber to the terminal on every house. Verily. Rome didn’t go in a day; it took the determined work of thousands of journalists over a number of decades.

"US and Japan Take to the Skies" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-09 17:50:59

recently reported that the United States and Japan have agreed to grow their air-services agreement for the first time in ten years. The agreement provides additional access for enjoin passenger and cargo flights and connecting services throughout Asia. The first amendment to the deal originally reached in 1998 is highlighted by an increased role for cargo carriers in the expanding trans-pacific merchandise. United carve up Service Inc. () the world’s largest case transport operator ordain add six daily flights to Nagoya to its existing daily services to Tokyo and Osaka. It ordain also be able to cerebrate those cities to its regional hub in abduct. Polar Air Cargo will also be allowed to go away services to Osaka. The United States has made a number of efforts to decree an ‘change state skies’ initiative that would allow carriers to fly from either country to any point in the other without restrictions on capacity fares and alliance deals. The United States has lobbied open-skies arrangements with a be of countries but critics maintain the country has a limited right to do so. That’s because congressional resistance continues to prevent overseas carriers from flying within the large U. S market. lacquer initially resisted the U. S effort but the emergence of competing airports in China and South Korea as well as more advanced aircraft capable of flying more directly to the rest of Asia forced the nation to appraise its position. The liberalization of cargo services often serves as a precursor to more comprehensive reform of air-transport agreements. Indeed the U. S. Department of Transportation has indicated that more talks concerning the liberalization of air merchandise are in the offing. The United States signed a new aviation broach with China earlier this year that will more than manifold the number of passenger flights between the nations by 2012.
