From old-line to online

At a time when we are mulling going paperless (there might be no direct link to save the environment), to what extent can we implement it in the education sector? With new age technology taking rapid strides, new ways and methods of imparting knowledge are cropping up, even at the grassroots level.

Many believe that physical proximity between the teacher and the taught is not relevant anymore. In fact, what really matters now is knowledge transfer, in any form. Getting things done is what matters in today’s cut-throat world.

Earlier, use of internet in the education sector was limited to online admissions and online result announcement. But adopting it as a mode of teaching is a relatively new idea. There are some institutes conducting their examinations online. National institutes such as IIT Mumbai, IIM–Kozikode and IGNOU are providing online courses.

Rathish Babu, CEO of Access Atlantech College, believes online revolution is in the offing. “The future is online. The mode of study or methodology will be a mix of online material interlinked to a library for reference, more of a click -and-view type. Typically the classroom will be simulated online. A large number of subjects that do not require practical working labs will go online. The emphasis will be on quality of content and mentoring rather than on physical meetings. Assessments will replace examinations, skill sets would be acquired through internships and industrial experience would be gained during studying.” Click here to read more...

Bus(c)h: SOLD!!!

20% premium makes a great sell...

Did you miss this space in B&E’s July 24, 2008 issue? Well, for the uninformed, B&E had advised using sound research that Anheuser-Busch (AB) should not accept the “fair-value” $65/share takeover offer made by InBev during the first week of July and that it should wait for the premium to rise, which InBev did!!! There was another piece of advice – that AB should wait for “some weeks” till the offer price shoots northwards and the premium level touches about 20% (considering these low liquidity times].

Cut to the present and we have the “increased fair value” of $70/share or $52 billion takeover from InBev being accepted by AB on July 18, 2008 (2 weeks later), marking a premium of 18.23% as compared to its July 6, 2008 Mcap of $43.98 billion! The new company would be known as Anheuser-Busch InBev. For AB’s shareholders, there could be no better news....Continue

The beast lives on...

The gigantic Indian realty sector grumbles & groans, riddled as it is with a flurry of issues, some that are external, and some that are created of its own accord. Is the sector doomed to go the way of the US housing boom, or will it be ultimately able to prove the most critical of analysts horribly wrong? Is the realty beast indeed too large now to be able to sustain itself?

Accept it! You couldn’t have missed the bloodcurdling stare of the 60 ton beauty staring at you a page back. Even we couldn’t, when one top real estate sector expert was drawing out this analogy quite innovatively for us. Massive, growling, thundering, roaring to run, ready to destroy, the 25-foot tall King Kong’s similarity to the real estate sector was just about as uncanny as it could get... Oh, did we mention this Kong nitwit’s a dime brainless too? That was the ‘uncanniest’ similarity with the realty sector we couldn’t quite get over with. Think about it – with his sheer agility, fierce attacking instincts & stupendous power, this King of rock would have been more than a handful for an army, even with a few superheroes thrown in! Isn’t it then hilariously ironical that all it took was a few overzealous, and rather clumsy explorers, with even clumsier weapons (chloroform, for Pete’s sake!), to overpower Mr. Genius and bring him down to his knees? What’s the explanation for that? Quite straightforward, we should explain. Both Kong and our spectacular real estate sector got entrapped because of the problems of growing ‘interest’.
