Good companies will meet needs. Great companies will create markets- PHILIP KOTLER

Philip Kotler (b. 1931) is an American Management author and consultant who has written over 50 +  books on marketing. He is also Professor of International Marketing at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, Illinois.

He says that " Good companies will meet needs. Great companies will create markets."



  •  Identify new or improved products which may develop into a new market.
  • When thinking about new markets you must decide which industry-wide standards:
    •  can be ignored/eliminated;
    • should be reduced below the current accepted norm in the industry;
    • should be raised above the current accepted norm in the industry;
    • can be created in the industry for the first time and offered to customers.
  • When considering the above questions, it’s essential that customer value drives the discussion not how the competition is going to react. In your blue ocean, there will be no competitors if you get it right (at least initially).
  • Start by identifying potential blue oceans in which the risks are minimised. What you are doing is risky enough without operating in a risky sector.
  • Think in big-picture terms
  • Focus on building a strong business model that will ensure a long-term profit. Work up the costs and cash flows of everything in as much detail as possible.
  • To minimise opposition, involve staff when planning and ensure that you maintain great communication with them at all time.

Defination of the essential properties of operating systems

Define the essential properties of the following types of operating sys-tems:  Batch  Interactive  Time sharing  Real time  Network  Parallel  Distributed  Clustered  Handheld ANSWERS: a. Batch processing:-   Jobs with similar needs are batched together and run through the computer as a group by an operator or automatic job sequencer. Performance is increased by attempting to keep CPU and I/O devices busy at all times through buffering, off-line operation, spooling, and multi-programming. Batch is good for executing large jobs that need little interaction; it can be submitted and picked up later. b. Interactive System:-   This system is composed of many short transactions where the results of the next transaction may be unpredictable. Response time needs to be short (seconds) since the user submits and waits for the result. c. Time sharing:-   This systems uses CPU scheduling and multipro-gramming to provide economical interactive use of a system. The CPU switches rapidl

What is a Fair lock in multithreading?

  Photo by  João Jesus  from  Pexels In Java, there is a class ReentrantLock that is used for implementing Fair lock. This class accepts optional parameter fairness.  When fairness is set to true, the RenentrantLock will give access to the longest waiting thread.  The most popular use of Fair lock is in avoiding thread starvation.  Since longest waiting threads are always given priority in case of contention, no thread can starve.  The downside of Fair lock is the low throughput of the program.  Since low priority or slow threads are getting locks multiple times, it leads to slower execution of a program. The only exception to a Fair lock is tryLock() method of ReentrantLock.  This method does not honor the value of the fairness parameter.

How do clustered systems differ from multiprocessor systems? What is required for two machines belonging to a cluster to cooperate to provide a highly available service?

 How do clustered systems differ from multiprocessor systems? What is required for two machines belonging to a cluster to cooperate to provide a highly available service? Answer: Clustered systems are typically constructed by combining multiple computers into a single system to perform a computational task distributed across the cluster. Multiprocessor systems on the other hand could be a single physical entity comprising of multiple CPUs. A clustered system is less tightly coupled than a multiprocessor system. Clustered systems communicate using messages, while processors in a multiprocessor system could communicate using shared memory. In order for two machines to provide a highly available service, the state on the two machines should be replicated and should be consistently updated. When one of the machines fails, the other could then take‐over the functionality of the failed machine. Some computer systems do not provide a privileged mode of operation in hardware. Is it possible t
