Generalization or Specialization?

    

 

Now no one wants to use only half of their brain! How inefficient would that be? Specialization in a particular field is a must have in this era...But only if you want to sell your soul for 40+ years doing the same redundant work. Generalization is required for doing any kind of work at any point of time and is a number one quality of any entrepreneur's success.

            The world today is shifting from demanding a “jack of all trades” to demanding the “master”. The abundance of information in today’s world leads to any person adept at internet search skills is able to provide a general perspective about any topic under the sun. The need is to be able to provide an in-depth idea about the topic. Also, the level of competition in today’s world leaves no scope for error and thereby, comes the demand for specialization. With a team of such specialists, the performance delivered tends to have been scrutinized from the different perspectives, leaving lesser scope for flaws.

The shift to specialization has influenced the growth of new industries and markets. It has also influenced our lifestyle, career choices and decisions. The need of the hour today is to hone the skill that exists nowhere but in yourself and thereby making oneself indispensable.

          I don’t believe that there is a “best approach”. I think that combining generalization and specialization works well for schools and organizations. If I need my car's engine fixed, I go to a mechanic who specializes in my engine. We need specialists for sure. If I want a large robotics project to be successful, I don't go and get the best mechanical engineer I can to oversee the programmers, electrical folks, etc. I get someone with a good general knowledge of all areas needed.

Social networking in our lives

“Social networking is a communication tool but does not generate meaningful connections.” Social networking is a valuable form of communication. It makes it possible for people to be able to quickly and conveniently communicate with large amounts of people simultaneously. It does not, however, generate any real emotion. It is immediate, entertaining and allows me to keep in touch with old friends. That aside, I believe social networking contributes to a disappointing and disingenuous social life. Social networking replaces earnest interaction with pleasantries, leaving one yearning for human connection.

             We also have the communication between people and businesses. Since they have paved a new way for interaction between the two, customers can now tell brands exactly what they want. Businesses can then use that information to tailor their products of more appeal. They used to have to spend a ton of cash for this kind of marketing data. Customers used to have to spend hours on phones getting more and more frustrated when they had a problem or complaint.

Non-profits are seeing the benefits of using social media for their awareness campaigns. Sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and others are a cost effective means of spreading the word and getting support. Not to mention socially shared petitions from sites like Causes.org, reaching hundreds of thousands of people.

There is no doubt that there are many reasons to love social media.

But…….

not all consequences of this technology are good ones. Like the way it has allowed us to hide behind screens and limited our social interaction face to face. You get the feeling of being social without having to go out and socialize. In the same vein, it gives you the feeling of being a friend (or having friends) without having to put in any actual work to build the relationship. Just think of how many people you have on your Facebook friends list. How many of them do you see on a semi-regular basis? At all?

                  I think that the effects of social media have been somewhat balanced, to be honest. There are many good things about it, and many bad things. In the end, if you can keep your own life centered in reality and use social networking as a small part of it, you should be just fine.

For those who can’t, it might be time to turn off the computer for a bit and go for a walk.

FDI in Indian retails- Boon or Bane?

FDI in retail means foreign direct investment in the Indian retail business. It is the intent and objective of the Government of India to attract and promote foreign direct investment in order to supplement domestic capital, technology and skills, for accelerated economic growth. As we are in the category of developing country and to develop properly we need to control the country’s economy very carefully. If the % in FDI in retail sector (multi-brand) is increased, then the investment in India’s retail market will be from foreign investors and the profits are also drained to the investors. And moreover in INDIA, the retail sector mainly depends upon the agricultural sectors and the producer and if FDI is increased then it is going to affect the agricultural sector of the Country very badly and which will affect the country’s economy. And if the % of FDI is increased to 100% in retail (both single and multi-brand) sector then government will lose the control over this sector completely and then it cannot help in controlling this sector with its rule and regulations as the whole retail sector would be privatized. And this privatization can make a very serious effect on the country’s economy.

                One of the most disadvantage of FDI in retail sector is that as we know that the retail sector is one of the major employment provider and permitting FDI in this sector can displace the unorganized sector and leading to loss of livelihood the most favoring example is if wall mart (ABCD) entry in retail sector is allowed then it will kill the millions of local shops and jobs. The global retailers would exercise monopolistic power to raise prices and monopolistic power to reduce the prices received by the supplier. Hence both the consumer and supplier would lose while the profit margin in such retail change would go up. So from the above points i can say that FDI in retail sector is not good for India.

Advantages:

 1. It is mandated in the policy that 50% of any investment over a $100 million would be in the backend infrastructure which would benefit by creating jobs as well as infrastructure for a developing country like India.

    2. Contractual farming would also mean improved and efficient farming practices as well as higher output and better prices.
    3. Foreign players will bring in the necessary investment to upgrade the retail sector infrastructure across the country.

  The emphasis would be on reduction in wastage of food items. This would bring down the food prices which have been a major cause of inflation in the country as well as a source of public dissent against the government.

Disadvantages:

  Will not benefit the farmers since the large foreign players will squeeze them for lower prices in order to earn higher margin.

  The large foreign players work on wafer thin margins since they offer their goods at low prices. In that scenario they would procure their goods at the lowest possible price to get the maximum benefit.

   Manufacturing sector would suffer since the foreign players would source their products from international markets in order to get low prices.

  The policy states that State Governments can take a decision about FDI in retail. But FDI is not a State Policy matter. Hence this is not possible. The central government will take the final call.

Technology Changing the face of Education

“Technology not only Changes the face of education but also the fate of Education.”  We are living in an era ruled by technological advancement that has eradicated most of the darkness of illiteracy. The traditional way of teaching has a lot of good ways/methods, but also have some flaws. Flaws like, student doesn’t get exposed to all kind of info related to that particular subject.

         We are gaining so much from it but we should not say no to the fact that it is diverting the student of age 15-22yr from studies because this age group student does not have that mature mind to concentrate on one thing positively and which make them think negative and technology is a booster for them. The innovative way of developed technology helping the people to get the solutions of all queries. E- learning courses are increasing skills. Many of the important communications are happening through social network websites. Now a days using Digital boards in Digital classrooms make study very simple, more collaborative and interactive also. In this digital classrooms you can record faculties lecture for further use and broadcast it anywhere in the world simultaneously live. Using these digital classrooms, you can interact teacher personally and questioning and answering privately. In this way you can make your study more detailed. It allows us to have easier access to "answers" but now students can practically cheat their way through school and not actually learn a single thing.

 Technology is good servant but bad master. The majority of people are using technology to waste time on apps and social media. The legitimate way of usage will be always helps for the education
