This article only gives the coverage of what are the organizations listed and how they maintain their stability in the global market. These Top 10 Organizations account for about one-thirds of the world spend through commercial firms for research purposes.

VNU NV based in New York and Haarlem, the Netherlands, is a public Company founded in 1964, and listed on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange.

Rob Ruijter, 54, is CFO and interim CEO of VNU NV.

Market capitalisation:

The market value of a quoted company which is calculated by multiplying its current share price by the number of shares in issue. e.g. Company A has 120 million shares in issue. The current market price is 96p. The market capitalization is a shade over 115 million. The share prices of companies on the Official List of the London Stock Exchange move constantly in response to supply and demand, and as they move, so do market capitalizations. We can see in www.nasdaq.com, www.NYSE.com etc

You can see what the market caps of these companies are by looking at the columns of prices in the financial press every day, or on websites. Of course, market caps calculated in this way do not necessarily reflect the actual market value of companies, as is shown when one company launches a takeover bid for another and (as frequently happens) pays a premium over the pre-bid price.

Market caps are important for another reason, which is that some of the most important indices (especially the FTSE 100 and FTSE Mid 250) are based on them. Not only that - tracker funds make their investments on the basis of indices. The factors determine the wealth of the organization and its financial strength in capital market.

Bill gates no longer the richest man in the world. Carlos Slim is the new richest man in the world.


Dear readers this week is wonderful for Carlos Slim Helú, CEO of Telefonos de Mexico to become the richest man in the world. Yes! He breaks the Bill Gates 13 year’s record being the world top richest man. According to Mexican financial report the total asset value of Slim is around $67.8 billion were Bill gates $59.2 billion. This causes Bill Gates appears to have been dethroned as the world's richest man. Wov! Another great business man to the world which prime business sector is Telecommunication. Great! He proved to the world each business has its own model… So no one can say Software is the best industry in the world, but it may be!

BRI (Business research intelligence) wants to analyze the Carlos Slim’s Business models and his biography.

Carlos Slim Helú, born January 28, 1940 in Mexico City, is a Mexican businessman. Slim has a substantial influence over the telecommunications industry in Mexico and in much of the rest of Latin America as well. His father Yusef Salim Haddad and mother Linda Helu were of Lebanese decent. Carlos was the 5th of 6 children. He studied engineering at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico.

Why Carlos Slim Helú choose the telecom sector?

The financial success that Slim Helu has achieved has been from finding undervalued companies and making them profitable. Telefonos de Mexico (Telmex) was acquired during a privatization period in 1990 of the Mexican government. Carlos was criticized for raising phone call costs soon after purchasing the business, but he went on to improve phone services in Mexico with the company offering local and long distance calls, mobile phone services, Internet services, and a telephone directory.

Quotes of Carlos Slim Helu:

"It's not a question of arriving and putting in a whole new administration, but instead, arriving and "compacting" things as much as possible, reducing management layers. We want as few management layers as possible, so that executives are very close to the operations. We also don't believe in having big corporate infrastructures."- Carlos Slim Helu

In June of 2007 it was reported that the wealth of Carlos Slim Helu increased to an estimated $67.8 billion, making him the richest man in the world. This puts Carlos Slim ahead of Warren Buffett and Bill Gates. Wov! It’s good news to world.

What Bill Gates says about Carlos Slim Helu’s Achievements?

At a Microsoft conference in Redmond last year, advertising executive and TV host Donny Deutsch asked Gates if he would be upset if someday he were no longer the world's richest man.

"I wish I wasn't," Gates replied. "There's nothing good that comes out of that."

"It's better than being second," Deutsch said.

"No," Gates replied. "You get more visibility as a result of it."

That’s the quote from Gates great peoples! Great thoughts!

Hats off Mr. William Gates! You always Rock and Rock again.

Hi readers I’m sure about this article is interesting one. Please come again to read more detailed analysis about Carlos Slim Helu and his Telmex Company.

Corporate coverage of this week: Nokia Corporation:

Nokia, which had its origin in Finland, evolved from pulp manufacture to mobile communications. Its interest in telecommunications started in the early 1980’s. Within a decade, it emerged as one of world’s leading player in telecommunications. Nokia’s innovations in the mobile market enhanced the lives of people, and the productivity of its business. The modular organization structure of Nokia was an example for other industries that thrived on innovation for growth. The development of user friendly mobile hand sets provided its customers access to media, internet, games, imaging etc.

Corporate home page: www.nokia.com

Nokia operates in business, with related diversification in the following segments

• Mobile Phones

• Multimedia

Enterprise Solutions

• Networks

CEO message

“Our vision is of an information society that enables people to fulfill their potential and realize their aspirations; a vision in which information and communication technologies continue to create sustainable economic growth, enhance public welfare, increase transparency and accountability in government; a vision that aims to encourage social cohesion, grow cultural identity, sustain free markets, and foster international peace and stability.” - Jorma Ollila, Former Chairman and CEO, Nokia

Key role informations:

Mkt Cap of Nokia (NOK): 113.31B as of 2007

Top competitors: Mkt cap

Motorola, Inc. (MOT) 40.95B

Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (ADR) 63.04B

Cisco Systems, Inc. 156.94B

Challenges Ahead to Nokia Corporation:

Nokia’s concentration on the lower end is a great success but in the high end market segment, its market share is in a phase of decline. The increasing replacement market in mobile handset industry, had forced Nokia to design high end - value for money products. Nokia’s candy mobile brand image made other players to capitalize on the premium products with enhanced features offerings. Nokia’s strategy of focusing more on the customer rather than the operator, has also affected its market share and profitability. Nokia adopts a mass-market strategy and targets all segments of the Market. But

Other players like Samsung and Motorola concentrate specifically in the mid and high-end segments. Despite reduction in market share, analysts feel that Nokia will remain the market leader because of its leadership in low-end segment and its economies of scale.
