Oil On Boil, Again
Oil is hitting new highs after a US government report showed strong fuel demand in the world's top oil consumer. Prices also drew support from international tensions ranging from Iran's nuclear ambitions to North Korea's missile tests. Adjusted for inflation, oil is more expensive now than at anytime since 1980, the year after the Iranian revolution. A look at how oil is affecting economies, and what's in store for nations.


Driving The Market
India is becoming key to the growth plans of global auto makers as its emerging market and low-cost manufacturing base offer an alternative to rival China. To cite just one example, Japan's Suzuki Motor Corp has said it would build a new compact car in India for Nissan Motor Co to sell in Europe. India's passenger vehicle market is only a fifth of China's, but is forecast to nearly double to two million units by 2010.

The Best Companies
To Work for In India: 2006
Registration for the survey closes shortly. Have you done the needful yet?

There are just a couple of weeks to go before we close the registration for India's most anticipated annual survey of employee satisfaction. As you probably know, this is our sixth such survey, where Mercer Human Resource Consulting is the knowledge partner and TNS India, the interface-provider. The survey doesn't just consider employee satisfaction but also a company's investment in hr systems and employee training. Afraid that your large, non-services company won't score high in the survey? Don't be. As a general rule, Business Today will only reveal the names of the top 10 companies. Names of the other participants will be kept strictly confidential. So, stop thinking and start logging on to the survey website to register. How? Read the box below.
