This article states that Apple Company is leading in the business world. Apple is going to Reinvent TV instead of cable companies. Apple Inc. is taking interest and trying to find out different kind of possible alternatives. Cable companies are filled with talented staff members but they still didn’t come up any new idea. This article said that cable companies should replace their staff with disruptive innovators so, they can do better work and come with new ideas. Now time has changed, but the cable companies still applying the same strategies which will not be beneficial any more in this era as well as in the future. Only in USA consumers are satisfied and system is growing every year. Furthermore, today people are using internet for leisure activities instead of cable lines. Most of the cable companies are going in loss from 2013 because they don’t have internet facilities except Dish Network corp. To recapitulate, there is no any cable company which can beat Apple. At this point there is only dish competitor of Apple Inc. to some extent.
Do you think that cable companies still have abilities to compete with apple reinventing TV STRATEGY?

While I’d like to believe that cable companies could currently compete with internet protocol television, I do not think Generation Y is interested in being overwhelmed with channels that they do not watch. While many people assume that Millennials fear committing to a subscription based pay, Forbes reported that nearly 31% from non-TV households in this group simply cited a lack of interest in cable tv. While cable tv needs to lower prices and create channel packages to compete with internet protocol tv, I think it is more important that cable adds innovative features to its service. An example I have in mind is the ability to record programs and share the recording with others through the cable provider. In doing so, people can comment on specific scenes throughout the recording and write their perspective of what is taking place. This information can be shared in groups and will act like a cable television book club. While I’m definitely not saying cable tv should adapt this idea, I do think they need to create an innovative feature that will capture the attention of Generation Y.

Even though there has been significant shift in people choosing internet over TV. I would not completely right off cable companies yet. But it would definitely take a series of innovative ideas that would interest audiences, but as mentioned in the article other than Dish Network there is no real competition for Apple. Cable company’s must learn from Dish and try to retain customers. For example majority of Dish Network revenue comes from international viewers families from India, UAE, China, Italy heavily use Dish Network. They invest a great deal in offering specific packages to the customers, for example I come form an Indian family, and despite having majority of internet enabled devices such as Play Station, Google chrome, Smart TVs, we still use Dish Network to watch Indian News, Sports and other shows. Dish stays current with all the sports event regardless of profits. The recent Cricket World Cup held in the Australia was offered with HD quality at just 99 $ , the price was cheaper than the value it provided. This strategy not only helped Dish retain its old customers, but also receive new business. Other cable companies must not only invest in developing new technology, but also offers relevant package according to customer demographics.

This article depicts the sensors connected with Internet of Things. It is irrefutable that one can stay away from world of the Internet in this era Because sensors are connected in our daily routine, 99% people used Gadgets which are connected with sensors. Based on the survey, The ¾ part of the business will explore the IoT(Internet of Things) by next year. According to article, sensors are in used but it required improvements in technologies like increasing battery life, data storage space, protocols, and IP addresses of sensors for detection. Companies have started thinking of data generated by sensors which also improved their company’s performance. The Development of sensors needs nourishing the employee’s skills. So, the upcoming world will become the world of IoT(Internet of things).
What do you think without IoT a layman can survive?

Research kit is really a good cause which will be made for medical research. According to me, it will provide lots of facilities in the field of medical. I don’t think the government has any objection as well as FDA to give permit to Research Kit because it will be become very beneficial for people in the future.

Yes, I think is absolutely late because apple is a top demand brand in this era for gadgets and phones. Apple watch is signature product for apple because it is coming with beneficial routine work and concerned with the health applications too.

In this technology world where technology changed day by day. However, Technology can be boon or bane for the consumer if it provide us all kind of facilities which has drawbacks too. This is the time to use the technology but with consciousness. Otherwise, time will definitely come when home technology make our lives nightmare.

I firmly agree with you. We should adopt integrative thinking skills because it’s a competitive world. Whenever we will enter in the IT industries we need to think and do work differently. It is only possible if we will adopt integrative thinking skill in our own.

This article depicts about the curriculum of B-School which is totally based on integrative thinking. Dean focuses on developing the thinking power of students and put emphasis on finding various alternatives. If any problem occurs it is solved by imaginative way.Indian professor of marketing, generates the creative thinking among students and trained them according to their interests. Also he is providing different kind of solutions to them. Dean of the school has given more weightage to the thinking of others rather than following one’s own thinking. For example, To create integrative thinking among villager to save the money he provided different kind of envelopes for the saving as well as for the sake of their kids and many more. By following integrative thinking process, various solutions are adopted and farmers use saving plans for securing their future.

Yes, Sling is definitely a brand new competition to Comcast and other cable companies for many reason. First users who have cable only watch maybe 10 channels and the rest are just there. I feel like having sling channel it has best of both worlds. It has all most watched channels and for $20 dollars a month with no commitment is key. I believe…[Read more]

I believe RadioShack is in a dying industry. There are many reasons why, as the internet has expanded and more and more online business come along, companies like RadioShack, BlockBuster and Circuit City has demished.

There has been a lot of speculation over Beats acquisition by Apple. Apple paid almost $3 billion to acquire Beats and according to a recent interview with Apple’s CEO Tim Cook it was the human curation feature of Beats that sold Beats to him. But this seems like a stretch. Market leaders in music streaming such as Spotify and Songza offer the same experience as Beats. Also, Apple has not been promoting Beats streaming service in its upcoming products. So one has to ask if Apple bought beats for the charisma of its founders, Dr. Dre and Iovine, and their strategy behind selling Beats headphones. Beats has been successful in selling grossly overpriced, mediocre headphones as a fashion statement and it seems like Apple needed that to promote its upcoming flagship products like the Apple watch.
Do you think that apple needed a marketing strategy similar to Beats to sell technologically modest but inexplicably attractive “Apple Watch”?

Upstream testing is the latest testing methodology which is being widely adopted by large software companies to achieve better quality of product developed by them. It is a need-based and result oriented implementation of test techniques. Upstream testing requires quick testing to prevent feature delays for further testing by downstream teams. Functional testing before code check-in, whitebox testing using internal frameworks, API testing are some of the innovative testing techniques implemented by testing experts. Upstream testing is intended to cater to the business challenges in product development such as limited unit testing, insufficient time for testing teams, avoid regression issues and lack of automated techniques for repetitive functional testing. Upstream testing techniques are generally implemented using tools such as JUnit, TestNG, Selenium and In-house developed frameworks.
Do you think investing in implementation of Upstream Testing techniques within product development cycle really provides the return on investment by offering better quality of end product?
