India's Century
The First decade of the 21st century has been one of the most comprehensive decades as it defaced the myopic vision of the Developed Nations and the ramifications of Capitalism.

India was one among those envied few and it is now esteemed to be one of the few resilient countries who have managed to come out of the Global recession pretty soon.

Dubai Financial Crisis - An Eye Opener
The Dubai Financial Crisis is the extension of the Sub prime crisis and is similar to the 1990’s crisis of the TIGER Economies.
Dubai is a place with piercing towers, rotating buildings, spectacular architectural designs, flow of petrodollars, broad and clean road networks, Businessmen, investors, and luxury-seekers, used to visit Dubai with all zeal. As Dubai is not rich in Oil Resources unlike other six parts of UAE, it relies totally on the tourism revenues and that is the reason that it invests so much on the Real Estate. Not only Dubai but the whole world used to believe on the credibility of Dubai. So, while raising the money through Investor Bonds (1.9 Trillion Dollars), Dubai did not face any problem, FIIs were also investing with the full flow to the Dubai Exchanges. Due to all this a bubble of assets had been blown which busted in November 2009. The history of all this is as follows. The company is a classic example of huge borrowing beyond its means.

Euro Debt Crisis of 2010 – Understanding and proposed solution
This decade was one of the most comprehensive decades in teaching us a lot of lessons regarding the failures in Financial Accounting, side effects of Globalization and the wrongly designed policies for the Financial Growth.
The first failure was the happening in the world’s largest economy United States termed as “Subprime Crisis” due to Housing Assets Bubble (2008) and then the subsequent or eventual “Euro Debt Crisis” (2010) both of which are interrelated in some or the other way which questions the Financial Stability of Global Business Cycle.

Browser Wars - Netscape Vs Microsoft
Consider the case of Browser Wars in the 90’s when the monopoly solely rested with Netscape but which was ultimately white washed by Internet Explorer only due to Marketing Myopia. Netscape owners thought that browsers’ monopoly will always rest with them, so they gave very little heed to upcoming threat from Microsoft. Microsoft gave an offer to Netscape for sharing of technology only to be denied by the latter the price of which had to be borne heavily by the Netscape. Microsoft started innovation in the Internet World by integrating Internet Explorer with their operating system- Windows.
