Medical Ultrasound Equipment Market in India: Medical ultrasound equipment produces special sound waves that humans cannot hear. Vibrations or waves moving through a body result in these ultrasound waves. An ultrasound machine generates ionizing radiation; however, the level of radiation is very low and does not harm the human body. Development in the Medical Imaging market is expected to drive the growth mainly because of the significant increase in the aged population and chronic disease rates in India.
Next-generation Data Center Market in China: Next-generation data centers (NGDCs) are an operating hub for data center network service delivery. NGDCs are data centers that provide scalable network infrastructure for companies to establish data center facilities at reduced capital and operational costs. Organizations in China are increasingly adopting NGDC to manage the growing network traffic at reduced costs.
Global LED Market: A light emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source that emits colored radiation. LEDs are basically diodes. A diode is an electronic component that allows electricity to flow in only one direction.

The mass adoption of LEDs in the APAC region has outperformed the other two regions in terms of revenue.

Manufacturing Execution System Market in India: A manufacturing execution system (MES) is a manufacturing IT system that helps to manage a manufacturing firm's operations and improve its productivity.

A MES acts as a communication system across various levels in a plant and provides an enterprise-wide system of record.

How to Win Investors Over: The relationship between corporate executives and stock market investors has turned testy, even hostile.

Asian School of Business Expands Networking Abroad: The Asian School of Business (ASB) here has joined hands with a central European university and a Government-run management institution in Poland. The aim is to groom young managers for tomorrow by giving a global exposure.
HRD ministry plans R95-crore grant for five IIMs as global ranking trails: The failure of any Indian business school in making it to the world’s top 100 management institutions has jolted the government into action. For starters, the ministry of human resource development has decided to pump R95 crore into the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) to increase their research output fivefold.
Closing the Gender Gap at Business School: For years, companies seeking to improve women’s representation at the top tiers of business have relied on tactics like increasing child-care options, offering flexible working hours and instituting boardroom quotas. Those in academia have relied on more bottom-up methods, including getting more women into M.B.A. programs, and educating students on the importance of diversity and family-friendly working environments.
Stanford Business School receives $ 150m gift: Stanford Graducate School of Business has received a $ 150m gift, the largest in its history, to focus on alleviating poverty in emerging markets.
