You meet the meanest people on a...
In reality, Honda faces many critical issues in India. And the biggest of them is its lack of presence across segments. According to SIAM, the compact segment (A2) registered a growth rate of 15%, the mid-size segment (A3) grew by 8.14%, the executive segment (A4) declined by a negative 9% and the premium segment (A5) grew by 7%. Honda is currently present only in the least growing segments (A3 & A5), and thus is losing out on volumes. Worse, Honda is now launching the Civic in the A4 segment, the only negative growing segment. Thursday, June 15, 2006
When America discovered its placebo in a racehorse…
Seabiscuit was a small horse, beaten down, no good to look at or any
better on the race-track; he was an underdog and people made sure he was treated like one. This was the racehorse Howard would go on to purchase and then place under the training of Tom Smith, a man whose love for horses transcended their racetrack worthiness. And finally he brought in jockey Red Pollard – who’d been left bruised by the tides of life, and like Seabiscuit, was bitter and angry, caught as he was in a continuous scuffle with the world.

GORBACHEV’S PRECIOUS PERESTROIKA
When Michael Gorbachev came to power
in 1985, USSR was already on its way to collapse. He publicly announced that the Soviet economy was in deep trouble and needed immediate reorganisation. Although the ex-Russian President employed a number of reforms during 1985-91 in order to transform the stagnating, inefficient Russian economy into more decentralized market oriented economy, he could not save USSR from disintegrating. After the August Coup of 1991, his most famous plans of peresetroika and glasnost eclipsed and proved to be a disastrous failure.

Iron Maggie rusts
When
she won her 3rd term, Tory legend Margaret Thatcher became the first British prime minister in more than 160 years to do so. The Labour Party was in tatters, and the Iron Lady had reached heights few could comprehend with a far-right ideology where the state ceded space to the private sector. She was ‘raring to get to work’ to privatise water, electricity, airports, and some said, anything that moved.
