Internet censorship in China is conducted under number of laws and administrative regulations. More than sixty Internet regulations have been made and implemented by the Chinese government. The government not only blocks website content but also monitors the internet access of individuals. Several government bodies are involved in reviewing and enforcing laws relation to information flowing within, into, and from China, but the most powerful monitoring body is the Communist Party’s Central Propaganda Department (CPD), which coordinates with GAPP and SARFT to make sure that content promotes and remains consistent with party doctrine. Google, the world’s largest internet search engine company has been facing the Chinese bites since 2000. In 2000, the company developed the Chinese interface for its google.com website. In 2002, the company search engine became unavailable for Chinese users. In 2005, Google hired the ex-CEO of Microsoft Lee Kai Fu as head of Google China. Microsoft sued Google saying that Lee will disclose the propriety information to the company. In December 2005, both the companies reached at the settlement. In 2006, Google rolled out google.cn, China based search page that censors the results as per the Chinese rules. (Economic Times). Critics viewed announcement of Google to comply with the internet censorship laws in China as the submission to the Golden Shield Project (a censorship and surveillance project operated by the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) division of the government of China in 1998 and implemented in 2003)

Due to this censorship, whenever people search for prohibited Chinese keywords on a blocked list maintained by the Chinese Government, google.cn will display the in accordance with local laws, regulations and policies, part of the search result is not shownî. Or ìSearch results may not comply with the relevant laws, regulations and policy cannot be displayed. In August 2008 Google launched the free music downloads to the users to better compete with the market leader Baidu. Cn. In March, 2009 China Banned the Google’s You Tube. In June, 2009, Gmail, goole.com and other online services of Google become unavailable and Chinese Government accused Google of spreading obscene content over the internet.

In September 2009 Lee Kai Fu resigned from the post and in October 2009 many of the Chinese authors accused Google of violating the copyrights with its digital library. Finally in January 2010 the company said it’s no longer willing to censor the results in the country and may pull out of the country. A blog posted by Google explained exactly that like many other well know organizations it faces regular cyber-attacks Chinese Government downplays the Google’s threat of exit by saying that this is the latest manifestation of western imperialism and this time a private player. They can also blame company for not having the potential to compete with the domestic player Baidu.cn. Chinese Government holds its point that there are many ways to resolve a problem but every foreign company including Google will have to abide by Chinese Laws. (Reuters). (Economic Times Bureau).

 

Questions:

 

  1. In the context of above case, examine the need of cyber laws.

 

  1. Do you support the actions of Chinese Government on Google? Justify your point of view.

 

  1. Critically evaluate Google’s decision to exit Chinese economy.

  22. Non-Price Competition : Hyper market vs. Mini Market

 

In the metropolitan cities of India, the grocery shops these days are facing a tough competition from the newly coming up Malls, Super Markets and Hyper markets in the monopolistic competitive structure of the business.

 

Many grocery shops are family business enterprises or partnership concerns.

Mohandas Modi runs a family business, a grocery shop   “ UTTAM” Mini-market , at the corner of Thakur Village at Kandivli ( East) , Mumbai. The area is surrounded by many new residential buildings and complexes. In the vicinity , there is a Hypermarket  called ‘D- Mart’.  ‘Uttam‘ is in a corner away from ‘D- Mart’. Modi’s business is not disturbed by  ‘D- Mart’. This is because Uttam shop is at a more convenient location to the dwellers in the Uttam Complex.

 

In 2009 , however , it is expected that a Hypermarket  ‘ Marko Mart’ will start operating just opposite the  “Uttam” minimarket . In Borivali,  Makro Mart has earned reputation for everyday low price business strategy which has been possible due to its large scale operations and bulk buying. Makro mart claims to have the following distinct features leading to its competitive  advantage:

·         Low prices

·         Wide range of goods- besides groceries, consumer durables, clothing and hardware.

·         Sophisticated on shopping infrastructure

·         Superior display of items

·         Hygienic spacious environment

·         Attractive packing

·         Credit card facilities

·         Gift schemes

·         Aggressive advertising

·         Social prestige

 

On this count, Modi found his mini-market  “Uttam” at a disadvantageous position.

Questions:

a.      What should Modi do to sustain his business.

b.      Examine the impact of Super Markets on Petty Shopkeepers  in general.

c.       Suggest a strategy for sustaining the SMEs  against  giant enterprises.

22. The public sector Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), the major oil refining and marketing company which was also the canalizing agency for oil imports and the only Indian company in the Fortune 500, in terms of sales, planned to make a foray in to the foreign market by acquiring a substantial stake in the Balal Oil Field in Iran of the Premier oil. The project was estimated to have recoverable oil reserves of about 11 million tones and IOC was supposed to get nearly four million tones.

When IOC started talking to the Iranian company for the acquisition in October 1998, oil prices were at rock bottom ($11 per barrel) and most refining companies were closing shop due to falling margins. Indeed, a number of good oil properties in the Middle East were up for sale. Using this opportunity, several developing countries “made a killing by acquiring oil equities abroad”.

IOC needed Government’s permission to invest abroad. Application by Indian company for investing abroad is to be scrutinized by a special committee represented by the RBI and the finance and commerce ministries. By the time the government gave the clearance for the acquisition in December 1999 (more than a year the application was made), the prices had bounced back to $24 per barrel. And the Elf of France had virtually took away the deal from under IOC’s nose by acquiring the Premier Oil.

The RBI, which gave IOC the approval for $15 million investment, took more than a year for clearing the deal because the structure for such investment were not in place, it was reported.

 

Questions:

  1. Discuss the internal, domestic and global environment of business revealed by this case.
  2. What would have been the significance of the foreign acquisition to IOC?
  3. What are the lessons of this case?
