In my resolutions, I naturally decided to be a good boy in 2006. Professionally, I actually did plan in the two directions which are driving my interest with highest enthusiasm. Call it the the “Technology and Globalization-Complex”. In technology particularly the impact of search. I just finalized in my vacation the book from John Battelle “The Search”, one of my best reads apart from Thomas Friedman’s “The World is Flat” in the last years. Nice to get confirmation from an executive search firm that exacly these will be the main drivers for the new year.
“If your company does not have an eye on Google or globalization, your company won’t make it to 2010,” Umesh Ramakrishnan, vice chairman of performance-based executive search firm Christian & Timbers, told the E-Commerce Times, “and the executives who understand these dynamic market forces are in high demand.”



You may also want to read, Bangalored (the expat story) by Eshwar Sundersan. I picked it up a few days ago and am enjoying it. Plan to gift a copy to my expat friend.
