AI Entrepreneurs in Serious Need of Child Protection Lock
It’s hard to believe that half of 2025 has just flown by. At the start of the year the two most anticipated developments of 2025 were going to be Trump tariffs and a wave of AI innovations. You could say that these phenomena are opposed to each other, with the first slowing down the economy… Continue reading AI Entrepreneurs in Serious Need of Child Protection Lock
Time for India’s Economy to Become More Competitive
I began this year by writing about the challenges facing India this year as Trump’s tariffs take effect and cause a global economic slowdown, from which India too will not be immune. Then in February 2025, I wrote about the Indian Union Budget which I thought was desperate to push growth, including by cutting taxes… Continue reading Time for India’s Economy to Become More Competitive
When Brands Can Guide Strategy and Execution
Having just read the book, HBR’s 10 Must-Reads on Strategy, that I ordered from Amazon India, I am once again reminded of how central brands are to strategy. Not merely product brand strategy, but to corporate strategy. It’s something I have been thinking about for the past couple of decades that I have been unemployed,… Continue reading When Brands Can Guide Strategy and Execution

We might possibly even be looking at a few years of slowdown, what with the Trump tariffs and the uncertainty surrounding them. But even in the face of slowing economic growth,… Continue reading Creating Abundance in a Year of Slowing Economic Output
Is China’s Rebooting of Its Economy Working?
It’s been a year since I last wrote about the Chinese economy. And it was as part of the global economy, that I was writing then. There are several reasons to turn our attention to China again: to see how the domestic Chinese economy is faring since it had gone into a serious slowdown, to… Continue reading Is China’s Rebooting of Its Economy Working?
Hardwiring Brands into Products and Services
Time to turn my attention to brands once again, after all the chaos and confusion that Trump’s tariffs have caused from the start of this year. I must say, though, that if companies have to raise prices of their goods in the US and elsewhere, it ought to be because of a superior dimension to… Continue reading Hardwiring Brands into Products and Services
The Global Economy Lacks Spring in its Step
The world’s most powerful financial elite, comprising finance ministers and central bankers converged in Washington DC last week for their annual Spring Meetings with the World Bank and the IMF. This follows on from the US elections last November where Trump was elected US President for the second, but not consecutive term. Usually, this wouldn’t… Continue reading The Global Economy Lacks Spring in its Step
