Dalam hal ini saya sangat impressed dengan apa yang disodori Narayana Murthy (pendiri Infosys). Dia personally kalem,reasonable,have Delivered the job(jadi credible),"can-do" attitude dan mikirin orang banyak. Ada pendapatnya mengenai masalah ini saya kutip dari: http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/business/12917259.htm Q As India and China emerge as significant markets for new technology, what challenges do U.S. companies face reaching those new consumers? Must companies offer products at different price levels for these new markets? A There is a considerable fortune to be made by corporations that focus on the bottom of the pyramid. You have something like 5 to 6 billion people in the world who are at the bottom of the pyramid. I would say that if companies like Microsoft, Oracle and SAP were to come out with a pricing formula that will appeal to the people in India and China, they will make money. I would say that India, China, Brazil -- all these countries will become major markets for these companies, and I think the piracy rates will go down once they do that. Q But will these companies have to use a different model than what they use in U.S. and European markets? A You are right. For example, all support could be through the Net. Perhaps you could download the software. There should be no installation expertise required. It should be very, very, very low manpower. There is a tremendous opportunity. Q Do you see the next Oracle or SAP coming out of India? A I think it will happen. It will definitely happen. I believe that as we move forward, there will be Indian companies that will (use) the strength of India's development talents and the United States' strength in market focus, innovation and customer focus. Q What's your time frame? A It will definitely be in my lifetime, no doubt. Carlos
