. Obama Care and New Coke
This week marked the 25th anniversary of the introduction of "New Coke." It was a remarkable event, and well worth remembering for the unique response of the Coca-Cola Company's management to subsequent events.
The two of us were working with the Coca-Cola Company at the time. It was abundantly clear to us and all involved that this was not just another product launch: It crossed over from product marketing into the social and political sphere. In image polling we had seen the unique identity Coke had for the American people, whether they were Coca-Cola consumers or not.

It was abundantly clear to us and all involved that this was not just another product launch: It crossed over from product marketing into the social and political sphere. In image polling we had seen the unique identity Coke had for the American people, whether they were Coca-Cola consumers or not.
New Coke was introduced by the company with high hopes, and they had good reasons for such optimism. It was a drink that consumers in blind taste tests rated superior not only to Pepsi, but also to Coca-Cola.
Despite consumers' immediate acceptance of the new beverage and an initial jump in sales, resistance began to form in small protests around the country. Sales began to lag. The objection was not so much to the new product itself, but to the company's hubris in removing the traditional Coca-Cola from the shelves to make way for the new.
It seems to us there may be some lessons here for politicians regarding ObamaCare. Just as most Americans were happy with the old Coke, 85% of Americans were happy with their own health-care plans at the time that ObamaCare was introduced. In essence, those plans were taken away from them in the same way the old Coke was taken away. And, as was the case with New Coke, opposition has continued to grow. This is personal for the American people.
Twenty-five years ago, faced with a successful launch but growing and vocal public resistance, the Coca-Cola Company's leadership did the extraordinary. They reversed themselves and returned classic Coca-Cola to supermarket shelves just 77 days after the debut of New Coke. Coke President Donald Keough actually went on national television to admit the mistake, essentially saying: We were wrong, but at least we're smart enough to listen to you.
People not only rejoiced, they rewarded the company with unprecedented gains in volume and market share.
After the Scott Brown Senate victory in Massachusetts, the administration had just such an opportunity. In February's bipartisan health-care summit, President Obama could have pulled a Keough, by listening to the desires of the American people and reshaping his proposal in response. Instead, the administration and the Democratic leadership decided to steamroll their plan through Congress.
As we've seen again and again over the past few years, admitting a mistake is almost constitutionally impossible for today's corporate chiefs, and even harder for politicians. Don Keough's lesson of transferring ownership of classic Coca-Cola back to the people—and the resulting success of that brand—has unfortunately been lost on those in Washington. They will pay a steep price for ignoring his example.

Maruti Suzuki launches new WagonR
Maruti Suzuki India on Friday launched a new generation WagonR priced between Rs.3.28 lakh and Rs.3.81 lakh.
The new version will take on the likes of newly launched models, including Chevrolet Beat (priced Rs.3.41-4.43 lakh) and Ford Figo (Rs.3.49-3.99 lakh), and Hyundai i10 (Rs.3.47-3.83 lakh).
“This new launch of WagonR is important to Maruti Suzuki for many reasons. It demonstrates the growing research and development capability of the company,'' Maruti Suzuki India Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Shinzo Nakanishi told reporters here. The new version is developed from the latest platform of the vehicle that is available in Japan. The car is powered by the BS-IV compliant 998 cc K-series engine.
MSI had invested Rs.290 crore to bring out the new generation WagonR. Following the new launch, the existing WagonR, which was launched in 1999 and sold a total of 8.8 lakh units, between Rs.3.23 lakh and Rs.3.7 lakh, though the new version would be longer and taller would be phased out.
“WagonR was the second best-selling car last year. It averaged about 10,000 to 12,000 units a month and I am confident that we should be able to maintain that sales,'' MSI Executive Officer (Marketing and Sales) Mayank Pareek said. He said the new WagonR, with its pricing and features, will be able to ward of competition in the compact car segment, where there are nearly 20 models in all. than the old one.

. New iPhone 4G Release Date and Prototype Leak Pictures
The next generation iPhone 4G will be finally launched on 22 June. The actual release date will then be announced at the launch
Apple has booked the Yerba Buena Centre in San Francisco for June 22. Now this only means one thing, a product launch. The last event that Apple held at the centre was the launching of the iPod. Therefore one would assume that the iPhone 4G or phone HD as it may be called will be launched on this date.
Yet we have much more exciting news to reveal. Pictures which appear to be of the iPhone 4G have appeared on the internet. They have come from an apparent prototype iPhone that was found in a bar. They appear to be legitimate following intense examinations by the Gizmo do team. Many well established websites such are BBC are also claiming it to be authentic. This is backed up by the claim that Apple has remotely locked the device, as well as demanding it back from Gizmo do. This story is turning into something of a drama!
Now it appears to be far from the finished article yet it gives us some idea of what we can anticipate from the new Apple iphone.

. Ford Figo Brings ‘Cool’ to India
Ford is betting a large part of its future on a revamped lineup of small cars, such as the 2010 Ford Figo. In colloquial Italian, the name means “cool.” But apart from the cute name and low price tag, the Figo won’t directly translate to boosting Ford’s small car sales in North America. That task belongs to the Ford Fiesta subcompact, which arrives this spring.
Built on the same platform as the Fiesta, the new Figo is Ford’s first small car built specifically for the needs of Indian car buyers. Compact, easy to repair and inexpensive cars make up about 70 percent of the Indian market. But until now, Ford lacked an entry-level car to compete with popular low-cost offerings from Hyundai, Maruti-Suzuki, Tata Motors and General Motors.
The Ford Icon sedan, formerly the company’s cheapest offering in India, was simply too expensive with a base price hovering around $10,000. The 2010 Figo will be much more affordable when it goes on sale later this month. Base models start at $7,680, and customers will have the choice of either gasoline or diesel engines.
That might sound like a bargain, but the Figo is nearly twice the price of India’s cheapest cars, such as the Tata Nano and Maruti-Suzuki 800. The country’s per capita income is less than $1,000, so even the most affordable vehicle remains a huge investment for many Indian car buyers.
Maruti-Suzuki, the Indian arm of the Japanese carmaker Suzuki Motor Corporation, controls roughly 50 percent of India’s automotive market because of a vast lineup of economical small cars. Last year, Tata, India’s largest indigenous automaker, introduced the $2,500 Nano. G.M., Volkswagen, Hyundai and many other carmakers are planning similar low-cost vehicles specifically tailored to India.
Ford’s edge could come from maintaining an emphasis on performance, safety and driving dynamics. The available 1.2-liter gas-powered 4-cylinder makes 70 horsepower. While this might sound puny by United States standards, it’s double the power of the 2-cylinder engine found in the Nano. Air bags and anti-lock brakes (a rarity in most Indian vehicles) are offered on upper trim levels of the Figo.
While the Figo’s bland exterior won’t blaze any new styling trails, the car’s small size and nimble steering should make it adept at coping with crowded Indian roads. The clutch has also been designed for low effort, to help take the pain out of dealing with India’s notorious urban traffic jams.
Ford has invested $500 million upgrading its plant in Chennai, India, to coincide with Figo production. Annual capacity will be doubled, to 200,000 units, and there are plans to export the car to Asia-Pacific and African markets. The Figo might not be coming to the United States, but it still represents a cornerstone of Ford’s global small car strategy.

The Ford Icon sedan, formerly the company’s cheapest offering in India, was simply too expensive with a base price hovering around $10,000. The 2010 Figo will be much more affordable when it goes on sale later this month. Base models start at $7,680, and customers will have the choice of either gasoline or diesel engines.
That might sound like a bargain, but the Figo is nearly twice the price of India’s cheapest cars, such as the Tata Nano and Maruti-Suzuki 800. The country’s per capita income is less than $1,000, so even the most affordable vehicle remains a huge investment for many Indian car buyers.
Maruti-Suzuki, the Indian arm of the Japanese carmaker Suzuki Motor Corporation, controls roughly 50 percent of India’s automotive market because of a vast lineup of economical small cars. Last year, Tata, India’s largest indigenous automaker, introduced the $2,500 Nano. G.M., Volkswagen, Hyundai and many other carmakers are planning similar low-cost vehicles specifically tailored to India.
Ford’s edge could come from maintaining an emphasis on performance, safety and driving dynamics. The available 1.2-liter gas-powered 4-cylinder makes 70 horsepower. While this might sound puny by United States standards, it’s double the power of the 2-cylinder engine found in the Nano. Air bags and anti-lock brakes (a rarity in most Indian vehicles) are offered on upper trim levels of the Figo.
While the Figo’s bland exterior won’t blaze any new styling trails, the car’s small size and nimble steering should make it adept at coping with crowded Indian roads. The clutch has also been designed for low effort, to help take the pain out of dealing with India’s notorious urban traffic jams.
Ford has invested $500 million upgrading its plant in Chennai, India, to coincide with Figo production. Annual capacity will be doubled, to 200,000 units, and there are plans to export the car to Asia-Pacific and African markets. The Figo might not be coming to the United States, but it still represents a cornerstone of Ford’s global small car strategy.
