Seminar on New Triad Power:
Dr. Sheth's Key Predictions
The Karnataka Branch organized a seminar by Dr.
Jagadish Sheth, Charles H. Kellstadt Professor of
Marketing in the Goizueta Business School at Emory
University, on 'The New Triad Power: Implications for US-
India Strategic Alliance' on 23 July, 2010 at the Taj West
End, Bangalore.
The event covered the US-India strategic relationship with
respect to trade and investment resulting in American
companies investing in India especially in defense,
agriculture, energy and infrastructure. It also dealt in
detail, investment by Indian multinationals in the US
through large acquisitions since the old triad power (US,
Europe and Japan) is shifting to new triad power (China,
India and US).
Opening the session, Dr. Sheth predicted that by 2025,
India will dominate the IT industry and emerge as a major
player in Aerospace. While the 20th century was driven
by government policies of advanced nations, the 24th
century will be driven by competitive markets of emerging
nations.
