Microsoft kills Explorer for the Mac
by rahul kumar 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

Dear all, Microsoft has killed Internet Explorer on the Mac. The software giant will end support for it at the end of the year (i.e.in 13 days) and will make no additional security or performance updates available from that point. From 31 January coming up, Internet Explorer for the Mac will no longer be available for download from Microsoft. A statement from the company read: "On June 2003, the Microsoft Macintosh Business Unit announced that Internet Explorer for Mac would undergo no further development, and support would cease in 2005." It seems Microsoft is sticking to that. It suggests instead that Mac users may want to migrate to "more recent Web browsing technologies", such as Safari.

by madhuresh.singhal 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

Message from Prof. R L Raina, Director, LBSIM. LBSIM DELHI announces a Management Development Programme on Managerial Excellence through Effective Communication. INTRODUCTION In today's world, competitive advantage originates more from knowledge than from the traditional sources of labour and capital. Knowledge has become the leveraging factor in making growth more robust, be it at the micro level or macro. And when knowledge is created, the information base becomes naturally widened and thereby its complexity increases almost exponentially. It is in this context that 'communication' comes to play a pivotal role in facilitating the process of organizational growth. Experience suggests, without this happening, organizations literally fail to take a leap forward in the right direction. Effective Communication', aimed at maintaining a constant and open flow of information inside and outside the organization, will hold the key as it can ensure right contact between the right seeker, producer and user of knowledge at right time. In other words, 'effective communication' has become a critical success factor for individuals as well as organizations to stay competitive in the present day context of 'knowledge-based economy'. PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to : * Demonstrate improved interpersonal and group communication skills * Design and communicate effective formal and informal messages * Make an effective business presentation with appropriate media support * Demonstrate improved persuasion and influencing skills for better negotiations * Develop sensitivity to Cross Cultural Communication BROAD CONTENTS In line with the above scenario, the programme has been designed around the following contents: * Expressive and receptive communication skills * Interpersonnel and group communication * Listening and non-verbal communication skills * Organising and writing business messages, proposals and formal reports * Preparing and delivering winning presentations * Communication in Negotiations * Cross Cultural Communication * Leveraging information technology for effective communication WHO SHOULD ATTEND The programme is aimed at executives, middle level managers, programme managers, trainers and teachers involved in Communication, Media Relations, PR & Knowledge/Information Management initiatives, and belonging to private industry, government agencies, the military, small business and independent consultants. Teachers in business schools, involved in teaching courses in the area of 'Communication for Management' will stand benefited a great deal particularly in terms of updating their knowledge and skill in what, why and how of teaching course/s in the area. METHODOLOGY The programme will follow a systematic approach to communication topics from basic skills and principles to more advanced strategies and techniques applied by managers everyday, besides the communication challenges, which they might have to face in future. With individualized coaching and constructive peer critique the course content draws extensively on real-life experiences and focuses on case studies, discussions, inspiring films and practical application of communications skills. The course will also arm you with useful communication tools such as worksheets, checklists, and templates to help you implement what you've learned.
