YOU DEPEND ON OUR PROTECTION
They are the well-wishers of the educated ignorant public all over the world.They all tire lessly work for our good,our well-being in all ways possible for a human organisation to work.They come up with captions like " Customer(or consumer) is the king" .."Customer is always right".
There are many best-seller books written all over the world teaching these organisations in looking after these worthless creatures..oop sorry!! there is one thing worth in these creatures other then a mundane brain, bones which are covered by rotten flesh,nerves which seldom work..these things have a pocket..inside this is something which if acquired these humanatarian organisations life attains enlightnment or even moksha.
Wat is the ultimate goal of human life ?? ..moksha says a devout hindu..heaven says a muslim..njoing everything that appeals to your body says some philosopher...there is no goal..everythin is random says an atheist
Wat is the ultimate goal of a company ?? ..there can be only one answer .."make money" .
How do you go about to achieve the goal ?? ..create value.
How is value created ?? ..here comes the philosophies ,economics,politics ..various view points.
Philosophy: always make your good people's good..if somebody gets an idea..first see that nobody can access it(patents,copyrights).Then educate or hypnotise people in creating the demand.Always give them the illusion of choice ..more products ..more competition.. therefore better R&D..therefore more quality..less price..ultimately the life of this stupid consumer is improved..we corporates are here to "improve the quality of your life" ..without us your life basically sucks!!
Economics: means managing resources..leaving the mundane things..let me see the highest of all..managing creativity..innovation..intelligence..joy..happiness
They define these terms for the employees and naturally the competent employees will work..of course..there good is companies good.
Profit is wat matters most...so the only yard stick is are we making money or not?? ..the economics of environment,people's lives ..doesn't matter yaar..we have them in abundance..economics applies to only scarce things..
Tax-incentives..though we belong to the top 1% of the population..we will hardly pay tax..bcoz we work for your good.
Rising inequality between the rich and poor..no debates on such topics..just leave it after mentioning it.. like yudhisthra in mahabharatha ..aswatthama ^the elephant^(this was said by him very softly) is dead
The illusion of choice..eg:television..every citizen of india is believed to be flooded with new channels ..the space is too crowded it seems..with more then 62 channels..but how many owners of it are there..only 4 or 5...so choice..yes..in reality no.
Politics:we make the law..everybody else follows it..we used the term everybody here..here readers have to note ..everybody doesn't mean everybody..it means you..since we make the laws we are above the laws..and we can transgress them and politics will take care in the name of de-regulation.
eg:telecom's big merger and acquistion(refers to recent newspapers) ..the law make a cap at 15MHz ..but there acquistion brings them frequency worth 20Mhz..so wat do normal people say .." sorry!! the law says it is illegal .Therefore, we can't merge ..or we will hand over the excess" ..but wat do coroprates do.."first blame the government..tell them how the law is short sighted..then lobby them ..buy them..if need arise..then change the law" ..put up a press conference and say the best statment "win-win situation for everybody".
another illustration..the biggest corporate company in india..in its infocomm company..had acquired license only for landline phones ..but used it to sell cordless phones(saying limited mobility) ..ultimatley mobile phones..so a license worth Rs10,000crores..was just packed off with a fine of 500 crores.
How did they do this? ..india used to have two set of licenses diff for landline and mobile..but after this company was found cheating..2 license system was scraped off and eventually the comapny escaped..with a small fine.It even routes STD calls as local calls..but escapes from this also..for one good reason..it serves u and me.That doesn't mean u and i can transgress the law..remember it is for everybody..and everybody doesn't mean everybody.
another live example in india..the biggest television network of south..the owner's brother is a minister..so indian govnmnt issues tenders for DTH facility but places a ceiling on the max hold of its owner..which clearly the network crosses since it is almost a sole-propreitership..so wat happens..once again the law changes ..bcoz it is good for south-indians.
the latest gurgaon episode..where people are more worried abt the FDI and india's image in foreign investors..speaks volumes abt the change of attitude of the people, governments and the media..the slogan here is .. "sell INDIA ..to save INDIA"
ulitmately we the corporates have one thing to tell..U depend on our protection..we are answerable to ..let's see.. none.
ps:iam only referring to MNC's here..since small comapnies don't exist
