The corporate sector is in news for some or the other reason. First, it was the Satyam scam that created a havoc in the corporate sector, and currently, the big news is the press release announcing the end of Kunal Dagupta’s 14-year run as CEO of Multi Screen Media (MSM; formerly Sony Entertainment Television). The March 4th issue of the Businessworld Magazine presents an interesting cover story titled, `The Blowout At Sony’. The story highlights the reasons for Dasgupta’s release.

The cover story is presented in a very balanced manner as it offers a point of view of all the parties in question. On one hand, it contains the version of Andy Kaplan, president of Sony Pictures Television International (SPTI), while on the other hand, it also puts across the view of Atlas Equifinn. Atlas Equifinn is a consortium of Indian shareholders (Singapore-based Rakesh Aggarwal, World Media Group director Sudesh Iyer, Shemaroo Entertainment Managing Director Raman Maroo, MobiApps Holding’s Jayesh Parekh, B.R. Sule, Sushil Shergil and actor Jackie Shroff ) holding 32 per cent of shares in MSM. The cover story also features Kunal Dasgupta’s views in a question answer round with him.

The cover story offers graphical representation of the gradual decline of Sony channel’s share in the past few years during Dasgupta’s leadership. It also features small insets of Dasgupta’s version, making it more interesting and balanced to read.

The March issue not only deals with the release story of Dasgupta, but also covers the other important news of the corporate sector by featuring a story related to Satyam which is titled ‘Satyam: Entering The Home Stretch‘.

The Magazine also features an Economic Survey, ‘Delayed Prospects’. In addition to this, the magazine also features a special report on trade, titled “Trade: Double Impact China’s economic slowdown brings its skyrocketing trade growth with India down to earth”. It also presents many stories on telecom, finance and education.

In its book mark section, the magazine presents the review of the book, “The Man Who Sold The World”. The magazine devotes a separate section on fashion and trend where it talks about drinks, travel, and living in detail. Last but not the least, in its profile section, the magazine features the profile of Axel Meyer. He is the man behind the design of N-series mobile phones. The March issue of Businessworld Magazine has some thing for all. Be it sports, fashion, education, politics or economics, making the issue worth reading.
