Now, he was about to steer TCS through an initial public offering–the largest ever by a private Indian company. Despite his excitement, Ramadorai knew that in some ways the timing of the IPO was not ideal. TCS had profited tremendously from corporate America’s willingness to outsource IT and business process functions to overseas providers. But outsourcing had recently come under attack, with some politicians and labor leaders denouncing it as a threat to American jobs and America’s economic dominance. In addition, TCS was facing rising labor costs in India and competition from emerging IT industries in East Asia, South America, and elsewhere. How would Ramadorai address these issues to ease investors’ concerns on the eve of the IPO? . (HBS Case) Presenation on 14.9.2006 – 3.45 PM

One of the technologies that have really come to the front for many people since the creation of Blogs is RSS, or Really Simple Syndication. This is the technology or file format that allows you to subscribe to blogs and websites and be constantly notified of any new content.
