As the founder of one of the world’s leading maison de couture, Coco Chanel has defined fashion for close to a century, and dictated the very notion of luxury in Parisian society.
Fast forward to 1982 – when the likes of Issey Miyake, Kenzo and Yohji Yamamoto first showcased in Paris, and showed the world what it meant to be style arbiters, the Japanese way. Collectively, it became known as the Japonaiserie Movement. Successive generations of avant-garde Japanese creators such as Junya Watanabe, Junko Koshino, and Junichi Arai are each celebrated for fusing age-old couture tailoring with Japanese design ethos. But none have made the same impact on the international runways, or revolutionalized design aesthetics the way their predecessors did.
But as the new century heralds the promise and razzmatazz of “Asia rising”, can fashion from this part of the world ever do a Coco Chanel, without having to first cater to western whims, for western tastes? Is there such a thing as “indigenous fashion” in the capitals of Thailand, Japan, India, and China?

By David W. Conklin. This article presents the structure and content for a course on international business strategies and public policies. The course is based on cases that deal with a wide variety of public policies in countries throughout the world. Students are encouraged to develop non-market strategies for many business sectors, and thereby to enhance their skills in analyzing public polices. The initial set of cases deal with the evaluation of a nation’s public policy paradigm, considering the role of government intervention, as well as economic reforms that underlie the transition towards free markets. The second set of cases focus on political impediments to investment, analyzing the implications of various restrictions and regulations and the need to do business in the context of economic instability as a result of policies that cause inflation and devaluation. The third set of cases examines public policies that are designed to attract investment, including special economic zones, tax havens, subsidies, and high-tech infrastructure. The final set of cases deals with public polices that are shifting to the global level. The protection of intellectual property, competition policy, and environmental protection increasingly involve international action. Finally, a lecture/discussion on trade and investment agreements provides an integrating mechanism for the course.

The million-dollar question for every employer is how to get every employee-engaged and rally them around a common vision. Employee engagement is a critical factor that contributes for employer-employee alignment, which finally leads to increased productivity. However, instilling a 'sense of belongingness' in its employees is not an easy feat for any organisation. An engaged employee is an asset for the organisation that in turn tries to foster employee engagement or belongingness for a company in the employee. The case study deals with questions like what inspires an employee to be engaged in his/her work. Is there a human resource perspective to motivate employees for such commitment? What is the difference between an engaged employee and a committed employee or are the two same? Should there be a difference between the HR practices to retain an employee and the HR practices to engage an employee? Even if the company intends to engage what would be their limitations in doing so?

In September 2001, Houston-based Enron Corporation (Enron) was embroiled in a long-running dispute with various levels of government in India. The dispute involved the Dabhol Power Company (DPC), a 2,184 megawatt (MW) power project in the Indian state of Maharashtra. The dispute began in the mid 1990s. In April 1995, Enron began construction of a $2.8 billion power plant in the state of Maharashtra. In August 1995, the Maharashtrian government announced that the project was canceled based on the recommendations of a committee set up by the government to review the project. After the contract was renegotiated, construction resumed and Phase I was completed in 1999. In 2001, with Phase II of the project 95% complete, Enron announced that it would sell its DPC stake because of payment disputes with its sole buyer, the Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB) and the failure of the Indian central government to honor its counter-guarantee.
