June 21, 2007 By Satya Adhar  Its a great news for all those in top management and the upwardly mobile new age professionals. The Blue Ocean Strategy seminars are being organized right here in Bangkok on 18 and 19 July 2007. These will be presented by Professor Ben M. Bensaou who is a Professor of Management at INSEAD, France and Faculty Member of the Blue Ocean Strategy Network. The event is supported by www.thaindian.com and the members get a special 10% discount. Contact us now !
Before we dwell deeper into the details of the seminar, let's first understand what this Blue Ocean Strategy (BOS) is all about:
Blue Ocean Strategy is a business book written by Professors W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne, from the INSEAD business school. The book examines how successful businesses captured uncontested market space, and thereby made competition irrelevant.
The "ocean" refers to the market or industry. "Blue oceans" are untapped and uncontested markets, which provide little or no competition for anyone who would dive in, since the markets are not crowded. A "red ocean", on the other hand, refers to a saturated market where there is fierce competition, already crowded with people (companies) providing the same type of services or producing the same kind of goods. |

June 19, 2007 By News Desk  More than 100 films from about 30 countries including India will feature in the fifth Bangkok International Film Festival (BIFF) that is scheduled to be held from 19-29 July, according to the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT).
The festival, which was to be held in January, was postponed due to the unavailability of screening theatres. “But we are all set to go now,” said Chattan Kunjara Na Ayudhya, Chief Officer of the BIFF, who will be overseeing the festival, this year. He stated that it would be a “streamlined festival, where we’ve trimmed off the excesses and added, “The focus will be on quality films which is really the heart of any film festival.” “This year, our main focus will be to provide the movie-loving audiences of Bangkok, with the films they’ve been waiting to see." While there would still be a Red Carpet Opening night, it would be on a more modest scale as compared to previous festivals, in keeping with the Sufficiency Economy Theory of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej. |

June 18, 2007 By News Desk A proposal to legally enforce a parity between overseas citizens of India (OCIs) and Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) has hit a roadblock, reports the Times of India . It says that several ministries have objected on the ground that giving certain rights to foreign passport-holders, although of Indian origin, has security implications. As of now there is a difference in the rights of NRIs, who are regarded citizens of India and the OCIs who hold foreign nations' passports. The ministry of Human Affairs, GOI says that an NRI is an Indian citizen who is ordinarily Residing outside India and holds an Indian Passport while an OCI is a person who is registered as Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) under section 7A of the Citizenship Act, 1955 Other categories include a PIO and a PIO card holder.

 Sivaji: The Boss is Tamil language film, directed by noted director, S. Shankar releases today worldwide (not in Bangkok). Even before the release it has created a history of sorts. The reason - Rajnikanth stars in the movie!
Although Rajni's movie always have the HYPE factor built-in, Check out some amazing facts about the movie:

While Big B and the Khans are no where near him, this remuneration makes him the highest paid actor in Asia, next only to Jackie Chan.
2.4K DI (Digital Intermediate) digital camera is used for the first time in India for this film.
3. Rajnikant has donned 15 different hair styles for this film.
