IBM-- India Bangalore Mirza

IBM has a message for the world... at least to the people who care about what IBM is doing.

The "I" now stands for India.

The "B" stands for Bangalore - India's Silicon Valley.

The "M" stands for Mirza Diya, Bollywood's answer to Lindsay Lohan.

Mirza will emcee IBM's annual investor briefing at a hotel 10,000 miles away from IBM's New York offices in a sprawling palace that looks like Britain's Windsor Castle and was built during Britain's time of colonial rule.

The message is simple - IBM is sending a message that India and ALL of ASIA are crucial to its future.

Asia is crucial to the future of every global player. Is IBM just finding this out or are they telling other Blue Chip Companies how to send global messages?

What do you think?

Asian countries have just recently begun to emerge from centuries of mismanagement and embrace the market economy; this implies that new markets, new resources, and new skilled workers will be able to produce more goods and services for more consumers. IBM has apparently taken the lead in recognizing this prospect. See Dr. Belew's blog at PanAsianBiz

Actually, her name seems to be "Diya Mirza." But a xof by any name.
