Agenda: Positive impact of FDI in retail on: Technology Employment Economy Consumer Other add-ons Conclusion Agenda Technology: Wastage and Storage problems will be resolved. Efficient logistics, production, and distribution channels. Digital records. Distribution and warehousing technologies. Foreign retail majors have immense supply chainexpertise and they will guarantee efficiencies in this critical component of the economy. Technology

Employment: It is estimated that 50% of the investment and jobs should go to rural areas, 30% of the inputs should be sourced from medium-sized and small enterprises. There will be major investments in retail, creating at least 10 million jobs in industries such as agro-processing and logistics. Improvement in the quality of employment Employment

Economy: India has been reeling from food price inflation (it was 12% a couple of months ago). The efficiencies of superior supply chains will reduce wastage and costs, thus lowering prices . The minimum sourcing requirements will help small industries and boost incomes. More and more entry of foreign players will result into huge amount of capital inflow in our country and profit earned by these companies will give our government a handsome amount of money in terms of taxes . FDI in organized retail could help tackle inflation, particularly with wholesale prices. Growth of infrastructure. Economy Consumer: Safety & quality standard will be quite high which will improve overall shopping experience of consumers. Upgradation of lifestyle & fashion of people, and they will get easy access to international brands. Consumer Other add-ons: FDI in retail sector will be a curse to local traders who were charging high prices from the public & hence, they are opposing it. FDI in retail will help farmers secure remunerative prices by eliminating middlemen. Rupee will be appreciated. Other add-ons Conclusion: Thus it can be said that FDI in retail could change the face of Indian retail by offering quality goods at lower prices to the consumers. In addition to this, the presence of global retailers in Indian retail industry will further enhance exports from India as they would also source Indian goods for their international outlets in a big way leading to a remarkable increase in Indian exports. Conclusion

Presentation on FDI : Presentation on FDI Submitted by: Amandeep Singh Foreign Direct Investment(FDI) : Foreign Direct Investment(FDI) Meaning: Foreign direct investment (FDI) refers to long term participation by country A into country B. It usually involves participation in management, joint-venture, transfer of technology and "know-how". A direct investment that allows the

investor a controlling intrest in a foreign company .It may take the form of a joint venture or a wholly owned subsidiary. Joint Venture : A joint venture is a shared ownership in a foreign business. The ventures is 50-50 ownership in which there are two are 2 parties each of which hold a 50% ownership stake and contributes a team of managers to share operating control. Wholly Owned Subsidiary : In a wholly owned subsidiary , the company owns 100% of the equity. At present there are 733 wholly owned Indian subsidiaries , out of which 216 are in operations and 517 are at various stages implementation. : Wholly Owned Subsidiary : In a wholly owned subsidiary , the company owns 100% of the equity. At present there are 733 wholly owned Indian subsidiaries , out of which 216 are in operations and 517 are at various stages implementation. Two ways to set up wholly owned subsidiary are:- a)Green Field Investment b) Acquire a establish Firm There are two types of FDI: Inward foreign direct investment Outward foreign direct investment, Resulting in a net FDI inflow (positive or negative).

CLOUD COMPUTING
Presentation Transcript
Cloud Computing : Cloud Computing -Raghavi Reddy Introduction : With traditional desktop computing, we run copies of software programs on our own computer. The documents we create are stored on our own pc. Although documents can be accessed from other computers on the network, they cant be accessed by computers outside the network. This is PC-centric. With cloud computing, the software programs one use arent run from ones personal computer, but are rather stored on servers accessed via the Internet. Introduction Slide 3: If a computer crashes, the software is still available for others to use. Same goes for the documents one create; theyre stored on a collection of servers accessed via the Internet. Anyone with permission can not only access the documents, but can also edit and collaborate on those documents in real time. Unlike traditional computing, this cloud computing model isnt PC-centric, its document-centric. What Is Cloud Computing? : Key to the definition of cloud computing is the cloud itself. Here , the cloud is a large group of interconnected computers. These computers can be personal computers or network servers; they can be public or private. This cloud of computers extends beyond a single company or enterprise. The applications and data served by the cloud are available to broad group of users, cross-enterprise and cross-platform. Access is via the Internet. Any authorized user can access these docs and apps from any computer over any Internet connection. What Is Cloud Computing? Slide 7:

key properties of cloud computing: Cloud Computing Is User Centric : Once as a user are connected to the cloud, whatever is stored theredocuments, messages, images, applications, whateverbecomes authorized to the user access them. In addition, not only is the data, but one can also share it with others. In effect, any device that accesses your data in the cloud also becomes yours. Slide 8: Cloud Computing Is Task-Centric: Instead of focusing on the application and what it can do, the focus is on what one need done and how the application can do it for us. Traditional applicationsword processing, spreadsheets, email, and so onare becoming less important than the documents they create. Cloud Computing Is Powerful: Connecting hundreds or thousands of computers together in a cloud creates a wealth of computing power impossible with a single desktop PC. Slide 9: Cloud Computing Is Accessible: Because data is stored in the cloud, users can instantly retrieve more information from multiple repositories. We are not limited to a single source of data, as we do with a desktop PC. Cloud Computing Is Intelligent: With all the various data stored on the computers in a cloud, data mining and analysis are necessary to access that information in an intelligent manner. Slide 10: Cloud Computing Is Programmable: Many of the tasks necessary with cloud computing must be automated. For example, to protect the integrity of the data, information stored on a single computer in the cloud must be replicated on other computers in the cloud. If that one computer goes offline, the clouds programming automatically redistributes that computers data to a new computer in the cloud. Slide 11: How Cloud Computing Works? Sun Microsystemss slogan is The network is the computer, and thats as good as any to describe how cloud computing works. In essence, a network of computers functions as a single computer to serve data and applications to users over the Internet. The network exists in the cloud of IP addresses that we know as the Internet, offers massive computing power and storage capability, and enables wide scale group collaboration. Slide 12: Understanding Cloud Architecture: Individual users connect to the cloud from their own personal computers or portable devices, over the Internet. To these individual users, the cloud is seen as a single application, device, or document. The hardware in the cloud (and the operating system that manages the hardware connections) is invisible. Slide 14: It all starts with the front-end interface seen by individual users. This is how users select a task or service (either starting an application or opening a document). The users request then gets passed to the system management, which finds the correct resources and then calls the systems appropriate provisioning services. These services carve out the necessary resources in the cloud, launch the appropriate web application, and either creates or opens the requested document. After the web application is launched, the systems monitoring and metering functions track the usage of the cloud so that resources are apportioned and attributed to the proper user(s). Slide 16: Understanding Cloud Storage: One of the primary uses of cloud computing is for data storage. With cloud storage, data is stored on multiple third-party servers, rather than on the dedicated servers used in traditional networked data storage. When storing data, the user sees a virtual serverthat is, it appears as if the data is stored in a particular place with a specific name. But that place doesnt exist in reality. Its just a pseudonym used to reference virtual space carved out of the cloud. In reality, the users data could be stored on any one or more of the computers used to create the cloud. Slide 17: Understanding Cloud Services: Any web-based application or service offered via cloud computing is called a cloud service. Cloud services can include anything from calendar and contact applications to word processing and presentations. With a cloud service, the application itself is hosted in the cloud. An individual user runs the application over the Internet, typically within a web browser. The browser accesses the cloud service and an instance of the application is opened within the browser window. Once launched, the web-based application operates and behaves like a standard desktop application. Slide 18: Benefits From Cloud Computing: Collaborators: The ability to share and edit documents in real time between multiple users is one of the primary benefits of web-based applications; it makes collaborating easy and even fun. Road Warriors: you can access a single version of your document from any location. Cost- Consious users: Another group of users who should gravitate to cloud computing are those who are cost conscious. With cloud computing you can save money on both your hardware and software. Conclusion : Thus cloud computing provide a super-computing power .This cloud of computers extends beyond a single company or enterprise. The applications and data served by the cloud are available to broad group of users, cross-enterprise and cross-platform. Conclusion Thank you : Thank you

Slide 1: Cloud Computing Outline:: Outline : What is Cloud Computing? History Why Cloud Computing? Services provided by Cloud Computing Cloud Architecture Cloud Computing Behaviour Advantages & Disadvantages 29-Mar-11 DEFINITION:: DEFINITION: 29-Mar-11 Cloud is simply a metaphor for the internet. Users do not have or need knowledge, control, ownership in the computer infrastructure Users simply rent or access the software, paying only for what they use HISTORY::

HISTORY: 29-Mar-11 Concept dating back to the 1960s by John McCarthy, a computer scientist, brought up the idea that "computation may someday be organized as a public utility Idea that revolutionized Cloud Computing: Utility computing Grid computing In some ways, the cloud is a natural next step from the grid-utility model, said Frank Gens, an analyst at the research firm IDC Slide 5: 29-Mar-11 Slide 6: 29-Mar-11 SERVICES: How Cloud Computing Works?: How Cloud Computing Works? 29-Mar-11 In a cloud computing system, there's a significant workload shift. Local computers no longer have to do all the heavy lifting when it comes to running applications. The network of computers that make up the cloud handles them instead. Hardware and software demands on the user's side decrease. The only thing the user's computer needs to be able to run is the cloud computing system's interface software, which can be as simple as a Web browser, and the cloud's network takes care of the rest. Slide 8: 29-Mar-11 Architecture:: 29-Mar-11 Architecture: Slide 10: 29-Mar-11 The success of cloud computing is largely based on the effective implementation of its architecture . In cloud computing, architecture is not just based on how the application will work with the intended users. Cloud computing requires an intricate interaction with the hardware which is very essential to ensure uptime of the application. DATA CENTRES One of the most distinguishing characteristics of cloud computing architecture is its close dependency on the hardware components. An online application is just a simple application that could be launched in different servers but when the application is considered with cloud computing, it will require massive data centres that will ensure the processes are done as expected and timely. The data centre could be considered as the backbone of cloud computing architecture . Cloud Computing Behaviour: Cloud Computing Behaviour 29-Mar-11 The behaviour of cloud computing is highly dynamic where the only the process would be possible is through proper interaction of application & hardware . Aside from the ability to adapt to the number of users and data requests, cloud computing should have the ability to work with different form of resources. Most well known service providers do not rely their operations in one service centre alone. They would usually come with two or more server farms infrastructure with multiple and massive servers. ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES: ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES 29-Mar-11 Advantages: Advantages 29-Mar-11 First advantage is the ease of troubleshooting. A specific software installed in the local gadget would need to have a repair from the companys tech group. But when the company uses cloud computing, any bugs, user problems or error in function could be immediately looked into by its developers. There is no need for every user to wait for their turn to have their application fixed. There is also the monetary consideration in cloud computing. There will be eventual savings the company would experience through cloud computing. Instead of tedious work with local connections and additional infrastructure, a company would just consider a cloud computing vendor which will ensure uptime of the processes. Slide 14: 29-Mar-11 Disadvantages: The biggest disadvantage of cloud computing all is security issue. Since cloud computing uses the power of online connectivity to handle processing requests, the data could be available for everyone and could be used for malicious purposes. There is also the challenge of the enduser connectivity. Cloud computing will only be possible if there is a strong internet connection. Cloud computing might not work in areas where internet connection is weak. Infrastructure is also a challenge for cloud computing. A company who opts to have their own server would have to ensure the infrastructure will be able to deal with consistent and massive data and processing requests.
