Notas del editor

  1. Siemens is a German engineering company with operations in nearly 190 countries.AG – Akteingesselschaft- a publicly traded companyListed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and on the NYSE since March 12,2001Werner Von Siemens along with Mechanical engineer Halske start company in 1847 to manufacture telegraph pointers.-Industry Sector concentrates on supplying equipment for manufacturing, transport, building and lighting systems.Energy Sector offers products, solutions and services for the for the entire energy conversion chain – from power generation and transmission to distribution.HealthCare focuses on latest diagnostic technology with imaging and specialized ITSiemens IT Solutions – IT solutions and global outsourcing solutions.Financial Services – non bank finance provider – capital for infrastructure, equipment and operations.It employs 405,000 people across the world with 30,100 in R&D.. 5.1 % of its revenues invested in R&D
  2.

  5. Shashi takes over from here.Develop a technology roadmap & give recommendations for future endeavoursIdentify open innovation opportunities and support network for collaborationPossible opportunity to publish some part of the research in leading academic journals
  6. What kind of projects can be expected?
  7. Abhishek Gupta worked in SCT for 2 months last year. He worked on many small projects (1-3 days) but the one big project which he did was on the lighting sector:- Analyzed the market landscape of the Indian Lighting industry.- Evaluated various trends that would drive this industry with their certainty and impact rating.- Evaluated various technologies that would be prominent in this industry in a span of coming 10 years and recommendations for Siemens.
  8. There is considerable research evidence to confirm that the accumulation of knowledgecontributes to the competitive advantage of firms. However, in strategy consulting, oneof the most knowledge-intensive professional services, established firms that exploitedtheir knowledge accumulation by adding exploitative consulting practices have foundtheir performance has deteriorated.The increasing share of exploitative practices in the strategy consulting industry hasattracted both established ICT-related consulting firms and new entrants. Moreover, it hasenabled clients to expand their problem-solving abilities. These developments, in termsof competitiveness and client competencies, have reduced the attractiveness of exploitativepractices for established strategy consulting firms.To analyse this development and to provide strategic options for the established firms, aconceptual framework is proposed. Based on this framework three strategic options areidentified: ‘follow the herd’, ‘become ambidextrous’ and ‘back to the original focus’. Insummarizing our argument, we highlight the pros and cons of these options and theimplications for senior management.
  9. Corporate Research : Analyzing competitive advantage. SWOT… long term advantage of having this policy.
