How it is: The city of Birmingham has represented different things to the British at different times. It is, above all, a city of purpose, grown in the white heat of manufacturing when industry’s natural resources of iron, coal, water and people were on its doorstep. From here it played a key role in world history, an international powerhouse. Industry literally shaped the city, causing it to be described by Birmingham-born H.V.Morton in 1926, as ‘that monster’.

Large financial institutions have been burdened by several generations of systems that operate in isolated "silos" and rarely talk to each other. |

Though most of the debate indicated broad areas of relative agreement on issues and some amount of pride from both on the country's accomplishments in many areas, they differed on the issue of whether or not to press forward with the scheduled phase out of the country's existing 17 nuclear power plants.

The shift of manufacturing to low-wage parts of the world was supposed to usher in an era of well-paid service sector jobs. But as the factories have gone dark, much of the work connected to R&D has also taken flight while the number of low-paid service jobs has mushroomed. Now postindustrial economies are reconsidering the importance of their manufacturing sectors

The pace of change for most established nations is often slow, but the catalyst for change can sometimes seem to be instantaneous.
And so it was in many ways last year for Beijing.
It was two weeks that forever shaped the future of the Olympic movement and put China's bustling, exciting and intriguing capital steadfastly in, and in many ways above, the company of the great cities of the world that have hosted the Summer Games. |

Inventive imaginations drive product innovation. That’s the way Philip Remedios sees it. In the latest PD&D Fireside Chat, the principal and director of design and development at BlackHägen Design questions what America is going to do to safeguard our future as the world's top innovator?
So what’s the problem? According to Philip, we could start here:
• Too much technology is traded overseas for cheap manufacturing and commodity engineering.
• Exciting ideas are thrown by the wayside by clients who lack this critical quality, or are too risk-adverse to be pioneers in their field.

What will happen to India's share of global IT and BPO market by 2020?
Dropping market share is one of scenarios that we have projected by 2020 if India chooses not to release the capacity in its education system.
India produces about three million graduates a year. The entire offshoring industry across IT and BPO is 2.1 million people, so clearly there're enough graduates – the real issue is the suitability of candidates. Effectively we are using a tenth of our workforce that is suitable for this industry. If that trend continues you will have a shortage of suitable talent. |
