The smartest Indian companies

Read to know how indian business men are innovating on the business models questioning the very basic of their respective business areas. Now I can realise the complete meaning of the statement made by one of authors in recent times
"India would succeed better than China because it is achieving all their growth with minimal resource input compare to that of China"

Chappell eyes 2007 World Cup

Atlast a performance appraisal system for cricketers. Interesting to see how objectives and measurement criterias are getting developed & assessed. Few things have to be kept in mind
1. Frequency of evaluation on the objectives
2. Timely feedback to the players
3. Providing defined time for the players to improve

May be after every series they should have to identify the bottom 10% and pass the same to the players. And if any player who comes in bottom 5% in two consequtive series is dropped, player who comes in bottom 10% three times in a year is dropped. This could be measured for one day and test separately.

Kudos to Chappell for getting some structure is evaluating a players performance.
