NRIs are fairweather friends? Can they prove otherwise? How many NRIs have even devoted ten percent of their income to better the lives of even family and friends back home - leave alone Indians by the roadside. Ofcourse, most stop drinking anything except bottled water while in India - local water is not good enough. Local culture stinks. All thieves and brigands - ready to suck their money and organs. SO MUCH TRAFFIC, SO CROWDED. No wonder Indians do not feel like sucking up to NRIs - when there are white and Japanese tourists who are ready to backpack , sleep on train floors, eat and drink what they can get, climb Mt Everest, be grateful to be part of Indian culture - like Mark Tully or Franquis Guatier or Mother Teresa or Dalai Lama.

Wonder how Chinese US returned behave - my Chinese roommate seemed much more proud of his nation than others from India. He is back in China - though he had adopted a US name Michael Cheng while in US.

HBS professor Tarun Khanna explains what it all means in this Q&A about his new book, Billions of Entrepreneurs: How China and India Are Reshaping Their Futures and Yours. Plus: book excerpt. Op-Ed: A House DividedInvestment or Shelter? http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5843.html For decades Americans viewed their homes as a safe harbor, a place to put down roots. But the last decade saw the rise of housing as an investment opportunity. What comes next? asks HBS professor Nicolas P. Retsinas, director of Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies. Working paper: What Do Non-Governmental Organizations Do? http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5833.html Download the pdf. Non-governmental organizations play an increasingly important role in international development. They serve as a funnel for development funds both from individual donors in wealthy countries and from bilateral aid agencies. At the same time, NGOs are frequently idealized as organizations committed to "doing good" while setting aside profit or politicsa romantic view that is too starry-eyed, according to HBS professor Eric D. Werker and Faisal Z. Ahmed. Their paper argues that the strengths and weaknesses of NGOs easily fit into economists' conceptualization of not-for-profit contractors. Working paper: The Impact of Component Modularity on Design EvolutionEvidence from the Software Industry http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5831.html Download the pdf. What factors should influence the design of a complex system? And what is the impact of choices on both product and organizational performance? These issues are of particular importance in the field of software given how software is developed: Rarely do software projects start from scratch. Alan MacCormack, John Rusnak, and Carliss Y. Baldwin analyzed the evolution of a commercial software product from first release to its current design, looking specifically at 6 major versions released at varying periods over a 15-year period. These results have important implications for managers, highlighting the impact of design decisions made today on both the evolution and the maintainability of a design in subsequent years.

Whether judgment trumps experience quickly gave way in this month's rich exchange of views to other questions about how (and the extent to which) judgment is developed, says HBS professor Jim Heskett.
