...SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE (SEZs) with example of MUNDRA PORT & SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE, GUJARAT (MPSEZ) Submitted by:- Executive Summary Special Economic Zones (SEZs) were established in many countries as testing grounds for implementation of liberal market economy principles. SEZs are viewed as instruments enhancing the acceptability and credibility of transformation policies, attracting domestic and foreign investment and also for the opening upon the economy. SEZs in India seek to promote the value addition component in exports, generate employment as well as mobilize foreign exchange. Globally, many countries initiated Free Trade Agreements (FTAs)which eventually led to a spurt in investments in infrastructure developments for Free Trade Zones (FTZs) and SEZs. A close examination of the evolution of SEZs in countries with similar economies as India eg; China, Iran, UAE and Jordan, will help us to understand their success stories and thereby implement those factors, in order to curb the SEZ bottlenecks faced by India today. The Shenzhen SEZ in China is a perfect example of a SEZ success story. In India, the government has been proactive in the development of SEZs. They have formulated policies, reviewed them occasionally and also ensured that ample facilities are provided to the SEZ developers as well as the companies setting up units in SEZs. These favorable conditions resulted in the biggest ever corporate rush for the development...

...Report on MPSEZ Visit By Saleem Ali IPR Course, Quarter 1 Dr. Preeta Vyas September, 29, 2011. Introduction Mundra Port first commenced operations in 1998 with one berth. Today MPSEZ (Mundra Port and special economic zone) is the largest and one of the most efficient private ports in India. The major contributing factors to the astounding success of Mundra Port are as follows: 1. Ready Availability of Cargo: The primary purpose of any port is to facilitate the smooth movement of cargo and related ships. In fact one of the parameters for measuring the efficiency of a port is to measure the time as to how fast a particular cargo/commodity is moved to/from the port. The faster the movement the more efficient is the port. As Adani Group was already in trading business and thus had ample cargo waiting for efficient movement so the port so constructed was bound to succeed. The existing port facilities were poor and inadequate at that time and hence the trading business of Adani group was suffering due to lack of such port. 2. Strategic Location: Mundra Port is strategically located in Northern Gulf of Kutch and provides a convenient international trade gateway to Europe, Africa, America and the Middle East. It also has a large land area available for development, part of which is now the Mundra SEZ which proposes to attract port-led industrial development. Thus though initially the scope of port was just a captive jetty for Adani Group, but there was...

...Government of India Ministry of Power **** ULTRA MEGA POWER PROJECTS 1.0 Background 1.1 Development of Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPPs) has been identified as a thrust area. These are very large sized projects, approximately 4000 MW each involving an estimated investment of about Rs. 16,000 crore. These projects will meet the power needs of a number of States/ distribution companies located in these States, and are being developed on a Build, Own, and Operate (BOO) basis. In view of the fact that promotion of competition is one of the key objectives of the Electricity Act, 2003, and of the legal provisions regarding procurement of electricity by distribution companies, identification of the project developer for these projects is being done on the basis of tariff based competitive bidding. Guidelines for determination of tariff for procurement of power by distribution licencees have been notified in January 2005 under the provisions of the Electricity Act, 2003. The Power Finance Corporation (PFC), a PSU under the Ministry of Power, has been identified as the nodal agency for this initiative. 1.2 Salient features of the Plant and Choice of Technology · The Ultra Mega Power Projects would use Super Critical Technology with a view to achieve higher levels of fuel efficiency, which results in saving of fuel and lower green-house gas emissions. · Flexibility in unit size subject to adoption of specified minimum Supercritical parameters. · Integrated power project with dedicated...

...IT as a Competitive Advantage Marcus Liubakka The College of Saint Scholastica Introduction In 2003, Nicholas Carr, published a controversial article titled “IT Doesn’t Matter”. The premise of his article defines IT as a digital data infrastructure, and compares its build-out to previous impactful infrastructure build-outs like electricity and the railroad. Carr claims that IT has become a commodity, and businesses can no longer use their IT as a competitive advantage. This paper will further analyze Carr’s article, and make recommendations as to how businesses can leverage IT as a competitive advantage for the future. Analysis Rationale To fully understand how a business can leverage IT as a competitive advantage, one must fully understand the concept. In short, a business has a competitive advantage if it has the ability to provide an added value to its customers that its competitors cannot. A competitive advantage is also obtained by providing a value to a customer equal to its competitors, but with a lower cost. There are many factors which play into achieving a competitive advantage, however, organizations need to focus on sustainable competitive advantages. “In his book Competitive Advantage, Porter claims the ‘fundamental basis of above-average performance in the long run is sustainable competitive advantage’” (Pearlson & Saunders, 2013, p. 28). A sustainable competitive advantage is predicated on successfully creating barriers to erosion (Piccoli & Ives, 2005)...

...Port Policy December 1995 Ports & Fisheries Department Government of Gujarat India INTRODUCTION Gujarat, situated on the western coast of India, is a principal Maritime State endowed with favourable strategic port locations. The prominence of Gujarat is by a virtue of having nearly 1600 kms long coastline, which accounts for 1/3rd of the coastline of India and being the nearest maritime outlet to Middle East, Africa and Europe. In 1991, Government of India initiated various economic, trade and industrial reforms, through the policy of liberalisation to enhance industrial and trading activities. The rationalisation of import duties and stress on export promotion have seen imports increasing by 24% and export by 25%. Gujarat State, is one of those frontline States that can take up the policy of liberalisation and privatisation, announced by the Govenment of India through a process of globalisation. Gujarat itself is experiencing a phenomenal interest in investment both from MegaIndustrial sectors within the country and also from top Multi Nationals abroad. Investment to the tune of $ 30 billion are already in the pipeline. From an analysis of the present investments and those that are flowing in, one can perceive a particular trend which is manifesting itself - investments are converging in and around potential port sites. Investments of over Rs. 16.000 crores are taking place at Hazira, Rs. 15,000 crores are planned at Vagra. Rs. 20,000 crores are planned in areas near Pipavav...

...Absurd theatre is a form of drama that exemplifies how illogical, irrational, and meaningless life is. According to Dr. S. C. Mundra there are seven characteristics of Absurd Theatre: 1) Life is essentially meaningless, therefore miserable. 2) There is no hope due to the inexorable unavailing of human efforts. 3) Reality is intolerable unless relieved by dreams and illusions. 4) Man is infatuated with death. 5) There is no plot and no action. 6) The final scene in the play is absurd or comical. 7) There is no purpose therefore problems are not solved. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is a play within a play. The play is supposed to show you what Rosencrantz and Guildenstern do behind the scenes of Hamlet. Tom Stoppard wrote this play with the theme of absurdity. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead meets absurd theater characteristics. Although, the play is supposed to fill in the blanks of Hamlet, there is no true plot. In the play, life is essentially meaningless, reality is unbearable, they are fascinated by death, the final situation is just comical, and there is no purpose. Nearly every aspect of Hamlet meets absurd characteristics. The characters essentially have no idea what they’re doing. Therefore, it’s often hard to follow due the fact that they themselves...

...Introduction Two Swedish economists Eli Heckscher (1919) and Bertil Ohlin (1933) laid the substantial developments on David Ricardo’s theory of comparative advantage by focusing on the relationships between national factor endowments and commodity trade patterns. Though there have been some attempts to use the Heckscher-Ohlin theory, it seems invalidity in most real-world international trade patterns. In order to evaluate the validity of the Heckscher-Ohlin theory in today’s environment, pros and cons of the statement are illustrated as following. In pro terms, this theory is a simple international trade model with only two nations, two products and two factors of production based on the similar technology. Because of its simplified assumption, the Heckscher-Ohlin theory can be easily applied to analyse theoretical patterns. However, some assumptions proposed in this theory such as the similar technology, constant return to scale, the same demand condition limit its range only to some particular regions, therefore, it seems very hard to apply this theory in many practical terms. In summary, today’s international trading environment is various and complicated, thus this over-simplified theory cannot be sufficient as a good predictor. The purpose of this paper is to examine the Heckscher-Ohlin theory to analyse whether it is a good predictor for international trade in today’s environment. In order to do this, I will describe the content of this theory and then ilustrate...
