Some people/organization cannot change ..wont change !! Why fight a wall ……if they dont want to change leave them where …if they want live in pit with no light its their choice ….you cant take their freedom …..when and if they are ready they will might change …nothing happens before time ….so its not wise wise introduce a change/product before its time has come…invaluable marketing funda
You generally find some of Big slow moving companies (old time pioneers )and lots of medium companies offering only cost advantage and few small comapnies which are fast and niblle who bring new disruptive product and services in market . While big companies tend gain fat and decision taking is buried in huge layers of redundant management a typical decision will take months and strategic decisions will take years .While big company have advantage of inertia , branding image (or reality distortion field )they tend to turn blind to user requirements after some time , due high degree of compartmentalization of people and horizontal work profile (for example tech and marketing folks don’t mix ).Big hierarchy also means trickle down effect and ambiguous responsibilities . Big Companies are more reactive , like intel they need good competition to keep them innovative . Medium Scale companies offering only price advantage are the worse places to work for , they have misguided sense of accomplishment when they actually operate on manpower arbitrage ….in other words sweat shops to the world ….. Small companies with disruptive products and services with flatter hierarchy can make fast inroads to markets only thing they need to do is sustain innovation and market
Lots of companies in some parts of world depends on simple model :Â labor arbitrage , get cheap low cost labor in production or services sector to get price advantage (around 20 to 30% ) .While this model has been established as path to economic prosperity in these countries but few people are realizing this model is bound to fail
generic Indian business model that is labor arbitrage leaves no scope for innovation as our prime USP is cheaper manpower . Since our pricing model is FTE (manpower) based any process improvement other than visibility and customer desired quality certification (paper work and documentation) which can optimize the processes and reduce headcount of a people of processes leads to loss in revenue rather than increased profits (due to lower costs ) because lesser FTE billing (FTE based billing model) . So innovation/automation will be not viable to business and will not get approval/buy in from higher management .Even though this will continue to get some minimum revenue for some time but this approach will not sustainable revenue stream in future and we will keep on getting diminishing returns . This is because our prime cost (marginal cost) is labor . Early mover advantage will be helpful initially in influencing market , but once market has been established opportunity costs will attract other players and established MNC (once a portion of their revenue is affected) Now due more companies coming in long term, prime cost (labor ) will see a movement to companies offering higher salaries and companies and new entrants facing more competition will decrease prices further which lead to decreased MR (marginal revenue) hence in will reach point of diminishing returns in each cycle. When this actually happens depends on number players , manpower pool size , total market and potential market .Since there is no increase in productivity (since system prevents innovation /automation) and manpower pool increases very slowly compared demand and constant movement in IT labor market pushing labor prices up . Even if acquire tools from market their very high costs and implementation time might be not be attractive and may not help is in increasing MR (marginal revenue). Case scenario would be BPO industry where per hour billing is continuing fall (initially as much as 20$ to 6 to 2 $ per hour) Visibility and ticking systems are helpful in increasing SLA and but have limited impact on in increasing productivity and does not reduce headcount (hence manpower costs ) Automated expert systems combined with autonomic agents, distributed systems can have big impact on reducing people dependency, also where real automation company and can easily replace most L1 and L2 operation and reduce dependency L3 (as more knowledge is put into expert systems) . Therefore more big companies like IBM , Google & HP are employing this .
Only process based companies with focus on superior service and automation will service in long run
Update : It seems Gp was not rejected but simply HR person who was handling case went on leave and he got email from google againÂ
Recently Gp was rejected by google (no doubt as he has no phd !!) looks like they didnt even bother to reply the status , he was bit depressed about it was fist time when he was actually rejected by any company …(as we are all part timers , free pursue until we our product hit a good ROI) , depressed (though he did tried his best to hide it ) to cheer him up i reminded him of his existing fat paying job and the fact that he is talented enough to write his own search engine … and that we must work good karma and only thing important is we love our work .
Looks like google has made incredible amount money by content sensitive online add called addsense . Our p2p search engine will also focus on content sensitive online adds but will distribute bigger part of profit to content publishers.
Well I guess that really cheered him and our next product will opensource (lgpl) p2p search engine
following will major benefits over google or any other search engine
We all want to thank google for inspiring our next product !! May you never hire anyone of us !and go fetch universities freshers with your crazy puzzles and phd degrees . Real life Rocks
