HCL Launches Console

HCL has become the first Indian company to launch handheld consoles. It is set to take on international gaming giants like Sony & Nintendo. According to industry estimates, there are about 300,000 handheld consoles in India and the segment is witnessing a year-on-year growth of around 35 percent. HCL ME-converged devices comprise multimedia options like imaging, voice recording and recording TV programmes on the consoles. But while HCL is going after the usual gamers with this new surprise, Nintendo and Sony have already made their mark in the Indian and global markets. Moreover, they are now coming up with a new 3DS handheld that enables 3D gaming. It’s a strategic move for HCL, but with competition on its heels, ‘tough times ahead’ is an understatement.

According to LG, the TV will include second-generation Intel Core processors, 3D FPR display, a triple camera system for multi-touch capability and In Plane Switch (IPS) screen technology that creates a 178-degree viewing angle. Featuring a 23-inch full HD LED LCD display, the all-in-one LG V300 packs two sets of light weight polarised glasses for the 3D experience. At mere 44.65mm thickness, the PC's connectivity options include 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and choice of either DVD drive or a Blu-ray drive.

As for the OS, the PC will come with Windows 7 Home Basic or Windows Home Premium. The users will have an option to choose from Intel's Core i3, i5 or i7 processors. For memory, the PC packs 8GB RAM and up to 750GB hard drive. The PC will also include full support for Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) to enable data sharing between devices. It will also support Intel's Wireless Display (Wi-Di) to wirelessly stream content to TV.

LG V300 is expected to launch in Korea in July followed by markets in Europe, Middle East and Asia.

Cover Story - B-SCHOOL SPECIAL

The European Venture Capital Association data says that while US and UK had the “broadest and most developed PE markets in the world (ranked at number 1 and 2),” such investments had also led to dramatic innovation and stunning economic growth too! Let’s view India’s situation. The Economist Intelligence Unit’s 2005-06 worldwide survey shows that India is “second from bottom” in promoting environment for private equity. Apax Partners add in their Future Trends in Private Equity Investment Worldwide report, “India has the second worst environment for private equity,” as India is globally last in terms of ‘Market Opportunities’ (for Private Equity).

Says Nathan Kievman, Founder & CEO of DemingHill, a US based corporate social media consulting & marketing firm, “In my opinion, business schools should have entrepreneurship as a subject. In my MBA experience, I had a great deal of traditional book work coupled with hands on business plan development. Though I found a great deal of value from this later as I started my own firms, the experience left a huge void in practical knowledge of what really matters in a business.”

Indian B-schools definitely need to have a national economic view on entrepreneurship encouragement than a myopic view about simply being management educators. Newer programmes need to be introduced that are not rated as traditional MBA courses, but purely as entrepreneurship programmes – similar to how Babson College is rated globally. When Indian B-schools learn to do that, would be the time when India will truly have educators who are transformational rather than just being inspirational. Till then, the B in the B-schools will connote much more than the grade.
