Mangalore, Jan 8: "There is no doubt that our country has emerged head and shoulders above the others as the prolific destination in international trade and business.  Today it is one of the most sought-out destinations for off-shoring as well as out-sourcing.  This means we have a bright future ahead of us and if we continue in the same manner, we would surely be considered as one of the major powers in business," said Jeevan Rego, senior vice-president of quality and productivity of Bank of America.

He was delivering a lecture on "Global Competitiveness," at SDM Business Management College here on Monday January 8.  Further he said that to climb the ladder of success in any business, innovations and creativity are must.  "Any company that continuously strives for innovative methods and sets benchmarks in its field, is sure lead the roost," he added.

However, he said that any innovation without proper strategic planning and exact timing may not get the attention of the customers. He was of the opinion that all this is nothing but taking a risk.  It is a leap in the dark.  But if timed and planned exactly, it would script success story.   "Just see at Tata Motors who planned to introduce a car at Rs 1 lac all over the world.  This decision has left many bewildered and some are yet to think something to counter it.  This may or may not be a great success owing to hurdles involved in it.  But would always be remembered as a trend-setter," he opined.
