Freinds

From what has been happening since yesterday, Industry leaders have expressed complete shock over the incident, everyone feel that thorough investigation need to be done and guilty be punished. NRN says that we need to walk extra mile, Government says Satyam is not the IT industry.. can we think of ways and means which will help India over come this corporate crisis..I am sure this incident would have raised eyebrows of investors, may be an opportunoty for competing nations to use it as an opportunity and grab business.
 
I wish to put down my thoughts:
A) Immediate arrest and trail of Mr. Raju: Will this show the world that we are quick reacting to the situation and show that law is for everybody
B) Government coming forward and forming a team comrpising of Industry leaders to guide current management overcome this crisis. This step will help India win confidence of global business community, potential/current investors.
 
Request members to share their thoughts...
 
Best regards

dear all

Arrests have to be made very soon.The system should act immediately
which will send out strong signals to the world.If we are lethargic
and do not act, India's trust will be eroded.The Big picture should
come out and other accomplices names should come out.Why has this
happened? Who forced Raju to take it lying down? What were the
pressures? Is it pure greed or something beyond that? Are some
international forces involved.

dear all,

to add, it is common knowledge that most companies cook their books to an
extent simply to keep up with pressures of the market. and the markets
sometime put unrealistic pressure on the companies not realizing that ups
and downs are part of any business, even good business.

this fueled by the attitude of making quick money is quite pervasive in the
system and PR/corp/ comm. profesionals are support or mere bystanders to
this whole episode.

this is a well spread rot in our system from newcomers with no experence or
knowledge do everything to get better pay packets to executives cooking
books to get better returns for themselves.

can we somehow step back and ponder? is this approach leading us anywhere?
Satyam going down is not good for IT, India, moreso in this environment. it
will destroy more investor wealth, careers and such devastation is not good.

can we take the long hard route to success and not the short cut and instill
this across?
