Digital Spine: : A Study in Business Strategy by Vikram Kalkat, Reto Gruenenfelder

Recently read this very interesting book Digital Spine by Vikram Kalkat and Rep Gruenenfelder. This book  talks about a business strategy for the digital era. It delves deep into the business drivers of digital revolution that’s happening all around us.  The authors have used data and facts to underscore the significance of digitization in today's time. At the same time they reflect on how future would be impacted by the same.



As digitization takes hold of advanced economies and innovative companies, business trends are seeming all around us. These trends are putting to question the predictable wisdom and business models of corporations that have thrived for decades. Several of these digital models and new age company business themes are only understood by all of us only naturally, or through scrappy themes of articles and interviews. There is a lot of chatter but no proper end to end structure defined. 

But in all this digital chaos there is a reason, and a structure for subsistence. The authors have endeavored to offer a business model to help explain how these new companies are stimulating the existing corporates and world business order often fruitfully, and what will differentiate winners from losers in this era of the millennials. 
This book provides: 

• A Business Model to help strategise market forces and give a step by step approach to analyse directional trends; 
• Case studies to better clarify on how to strategise both trends and as well as threats; 

• An overview of the digital shift and key themes for the future to watch out for. 

The Book is an insightful read and a good read for everyone affected or working in a digital ecosystem. It is relevant to the times and ecosystems we work in today.

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...

But what I felt wasn't true and I'd never known that trait of hers which never matched mine had such a reason behind it. She never liked to talk or be familiar to the opposite sex. I found this irritating but I just used to remember all her other traits which brought her close to me and made her one of the closest beings to me on this Earth.

Why do bookshop stories comfort us? Review of Days at the Morisaki Bookshop and More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop

You often reach for gentle stories when life feels heavy. This long-form review looks at Days at the Morisaki Bookshop and its sequel as one continuous experience. It reflects on heartbreak, books, and belonging, while questioning the books’ depth, popularity, and emotional staying power. Comfort is guaranteed. Impact is debated. Why do we turn to quiet books when life feels unbearably loud? Have you noticed how, when everything feels too noisy, too demanding, and too sharp, you do not want fireworks from a book ? You want a chair by a window, a cup of tea gone slightly cold, and a story that does not ask much of you. That is usually when novels like Days at the Morisaki Bookshop find you, not the other way around. You reach for these books when your own thoughts feel cluttered. When ambition has tired you out. When grief does not announce itself loudly but sits beside you like an awkward guest who refuses to leave. Satoshi Yagisawa’s Morisaki Bookshop series arrives wrapped in...
