  • Rise of the Global Entrepreneur: Leveraging the India-U.S
    STVP-2005-010 [Rev. Feb 2, 2006] Rise of the Global Entrepreneur: Leveraging the India-U.S. High-Tech Corridor It was a bright warm day in Bangalore on January 15th, 2005. The aftermath of the catastrophic Tsunami disaster was still unfolding and people all around the Indian Ocean were grappling with the uncertainty of life. The high-tech industry in India however hadn’t missed a beat; the Mumbai stock exchange was still healthy and the average Bangalore resident was contemplating new ways to succeed in India’s burgeoning high-tech economy. Kumar Ramachandran1 knew that his life had changed forever. He had just resigned from his position as Managing Director at Applied Materials, India and was ready to start a company of his own. The future would be full of new challenges he thought. As he sat in his chauffeured car on his two hour, 30 mile commute, he started making a list of people to call. He was glad to be following his heart. After all, life was too short to not pursue your passion. Although Kumar did not know what awaited him on the road ahead, he was determined to leverage his past experience and network of working relationships to launch a new venture of his own. Given his professional background and his knowledge of the new areas of growth in India’s services industry, he firmly believed that the best opportunities for him laid within the realm of engineering services outsourcing. India had pioneered the outsourcing of Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES) and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) starting in the 1990s.

  • Lookout! (V108)
    Crossing the Digital Divide (v108) “Lookout!” by Joseph Feigon for the Observer Scott McNealy is an American businessman. He is most famous for co-founding the computer technology company Sun Microsystems in 1982 along with Vinod Khosla, Bill Joy and Andy Bechtolsheim. Oracle Corporation (Larry Ellison’s database client) purchased Sun Microsystems in 2010. Mr. McNealy was one of the relative success stories in the early days of the Internet. Sun Microsystems built exceptional servers, and was a market leader with their Unix operating system as well as their corporate support of the Open Source movement, including Linux. Sun ‘cuda been’ a contender. Lookout was McNealy's inverted name for Outlook, Microsoft's e-mail client. McNealy says you need to "look out" for trouble when using Outlook. McNealy frequently cites Outlook's well documented security problems. He says that to get the most functionality out of Outlook you'll also need Microsoft's Exchange Server. But the combination, and the Microsoft- only mail and calendaring protocol required to connect them (MAPI), is yet another example of how Microsoft locks businesses into proprietary technologies that eliminate choice and flexibility. Microsoft is still here, Sun Microsystems is not. Proprietary software continues to dominate the retail customer (Windows, anyone?), as well as many big companies. Those success stories in the Open Source space build applications on an Operating System (Linux, BSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, etc.) that is open, meaning, free to you and me. Open, as in, anyone with the desire and/or ability can review each line of coding that makes things work.

  • Software Wars, Business Strategies and IP Litigation
    Software Wars, Business Strategies and IP Litigation Immediately after Oracle America filed a patent infringement suit against Google Inc. in August 2010 the trade press labelled this a “software war.” Their interest was a trial featuring Oracle’s “star” counsel David Boies. In mid-January often cited Florian Mueller of NoSoftwarePatents, wrote “Google is patently too weak to protect Android—Google’s cell phone software.”1 (On April 4 Lead bidder Google offered $900 million for Nortel’s 6,000 patents and applications. A decision is expected in June}. By the end of March he had counted 39 patent infringement suits against Google.2 Whether Oracle wins Oracle v Google or not, Oracle and IBM may become losers. It is important that Oracle not alienate the software development community or its customers as it attempts to monetise the assets from the Sun Microsystems—now Oracle America— acquisition. The Oracle v. Google complaint was carefully targeted at Google’s Android software, avoiding the appearance of monetising the Java language and platform itself. The Android software was developed as open source in conjunction with the Open Handset Alliance. Android's mobile operating system is based on a modified version of the Linux kernel, subject to Linux patents. Google published all of the computer code under an Apache Software Foundation License.3 This license is royalty-free and places no restrictions on derivative products or commercial use. Based on IDC market share estimates by the fourth quarter of 2010, Android phones had 39% of the market. An Oracle asset gained through the acquisition of Sun was the OpenOffice open-source software—one of the only remaining substantial “competitors” to Microsoft’s document processing applications.

  • BY DESIGN It’S Been 20 Years Since the First Imac Was Unveiled
    BY DESIGN It’s been 20 years since the first iMac was unveiled. Revolutionary at the time, the iMac G3 is one of the most iconic computers that ever existed. The iMac is 20. It’s hard to believe but Apple wasn’t always the globe-dominating giant it is today, worth more than the GDP of some nations. When Steve Jobs got up on stage on May 6, 1998, to unveil the iMac, Apple was at a low ebb, struggling to maintain con- sistent profitability. In July 1997 its shares had hit a 10-year low, and Oracle’s Larry Ellison was consid - ering putting in a bid. Jobs himself was only months into his second stint at the flailing company. “It’s hard to believe today that a Steve Jobs prod- uct presentation would be met with indifference, but there was a huge amount of scepticism about Apple’s product announcements back in early 1998,” Jason Snell, a journalist and broadcaster who has spent his whole career covering Apple, wrote recently. “Though there were definitely signs that the company was turning it around, I also recall being summoned to Apple product events where nothing much at all was announced. Regardless, only the editor-in-chief of Macworld, Andy Gore, even bothered to go to the announcement that day.” 54 FLASHES / JUNE 2018 FLASHBACK JUNE 2018 / FLASHES 55 EXPLORE Above: Steve Footage from the event – shared by current CEO Jobs unveils the Tim Cook – shows Jobs, perhaps the greatest sales- iMac, based on the PowerPC G3 man the world has ever seen, describing the $1299 especially when measured against the PCs of the day.

PHOTO: APSTRA By DON CLARK Updated March 29, 2016 8:29 p.m. ET Computer scientist David Cheriton has been a quiet force behind the scenes in Silicon Valley for decades, using his brains and bank account to fund vendors of equipment that transmits data between computers and over the Internet. Now he wants the customers of those suppliers to feel free to shop elsewhere. The Stanford University professor, whose early investment in Alphabet Inc.’s Google helped make him a multibillionaire, recently bankrolled a startup called Apstra, which has been working on software for managing networking devices from multiple vendors. Apstra’s software makes it easier to integrate equipment from various suppliers as better options come along, Mr. Cheriton said. It could reduce customers’ reliance on vendors like Cisco Systems Inc. —which first made Mr. Cheriton wealthy in 1996 when it bought a startup he co-founded—and Arista Networks Inc., a leading maker of network switches that he co-founded in 2004. Network hardware companies tend to lock in customers as they http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-billionaire-professor-behind-new-networking-startup-apstra-1459294850 Page 1 of 4 The Billionaire Professor Behind New Networking Startup Apstra - WSJ 30/03/16, 08:24 develop expertise in running particular systems and become accustomed to proprietary features.

  • Enterprise Resource Planning Effects on Supply Chain Management Performance
    ERP EFFECTS ON SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE Enterprise Resource Planning Effects on Supply Chain Management Performance Approved: _____________________________ Date: _________________ Paper/Project Advisor Enterprise Resource Planning Effects on Supply Chain Management Performance A Seminar Paper Presented to The Graduate Faculty University of Wisconsin-Platteville In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirement for the Degree Master of Science in Integrated Supply Chain Management By Joshua Wadley 2014 2 Acknowledgments First and foremost, my advisor deserves acknowledgement. Mr. David Heimerdinger invests a tremendous amount of time and effort into every one of his students, and has been a wonderful advisor to me. His tireless effort and generosity to his students is truly astounding and I could not have asked for a more dedicated mentor. With Mr. Eric MacKay now taking on the reasonability of being the advisor for the Integrated Supply Chain Management program, I wish him all the best of luck but am sure he will be ok with a great teacher such as Mr. Heimerdinger. Additionally, Dr. Wendy Brooke deserves recognition. From the moment I took my first course with her in my first semester of my masters program, until now, nearing completion of my seminar research, she was always there if I needed assistance along the way. Although I have had to start and complete my degree via distance learning in the war torn country of Afghanistan, my family, teachers and company, have always supported me and my goals one hundred percent, and again I say thank you!! i Abstract This research investigates the impact of enterprise resource planning systems when integrated into supply chain management.

  • A QUIET EDUCATION REVOLUTION BEGINS in SILICON VALLEY From
    A QUIET EDUCATION REVOLUTION BEGINS IN SILICON VALLEY From a small office along Highway 101 in Palo Alto, Neeru Khosla is quietly trying to upend the way teachers teach and students learn. It's a tall order for a woman who is not a politician, educator or administrator. Instead you can call her a crusader -- a crusader who has adopted the urgency, innovation and talent typical of a Silicon Valley startup in an effort to propel K-12 education into the 21st century. At a time when public school budgets are in tatters and larger classroom sizes are making it tougher for teachers to provide individual help, Khosla's nonprofit CK-12 Foundation holds the promise of a double-barreled solution: online digital textbooks in primarily math and science, and exercises that are customizable, adorned with videos and other interactive features, and which cost schools nothing. Teachers nationwide have downloaded textbooks and other material from the nonprofit's website, passing them along to millions of students, by CK-12's estimate. "It's like going from the scroll to the paper and pen to the computer, " Khosla says. "If we don't give students what they need to succeed, we're going to lose them." The project means that all schools, no matter how poor, can afford educational material that engages students whether they are hungry for more advanced work or struggling with the basics. The books, which can be downloaded to computers and mobile devices, help students build their reading and language skills even as they teach math and science concepts.
