Dear Umesh Those who believe in a deterministic view of the world and its affairs would venture to answer such a question. Others may, well, speculate to find means to take cover from any probable onslaught against their interests. The factors are so many and socio-economic forces at play are so dynamic, that no meaningful long run projections can probably be made. This is evident from the unpredicted fall of the socialistic system ( a fine example of the state-capitalism) and its rise in other garbs now. Neither guys like Marx, Engels, Lennin, Stalin, Mao, who believed in the monist view of history (dialectical materialism, euphemistically called) could predict the fall nor their nemeses on the other side!!! Good luck Umesh.

What is the Future of State Capitalism? ============================== New on the Site Accounting Information as Political Currency http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5920.html Corporate donors that gave at least $10,000 to closely watched races in the U.S. congressional elections of 2004 were more likely to understate their earnings, say Harvard Business School's Karthik Ramanna and MIT colleague Sugata Roychowdhury. Such "downward earnings management" may have functioned as a political contribution. In this Q&A, Ramanna explains how accounting and politics influence each other. HBS Centennial Colloquium: The Intellectual History of Harvard Business School http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5931.html This colloquium held at HBS in April looked at key developments in the areas of entrepreneurship, organizational behavior, accounting, and strategy, among others. HBS professor Richard S. Tedlow describes the highlights.

Chain organizations operate units that are typically dispersed across different types of markets, and thus serve significantly different customer bases. Such "market-type dispersion" is likely to compromise the headquarters' ability to control its stores. The results of this study may help managers and consultants who deal with control challenges related to a chain's geographic expansion into different markets.
