Mumbai: CNBC-TV18 is launching a new series titled ?What Women Really Want? on 11 August.

The show will air every Saturday at 8 pm.

?What Women Really Want? is a show that looks at how women today are negotiating the interplay between power, money and balance.

As the name suggests, the series aims to open a dialogue between successful women CEOs and mid-career professionals struggling with workplace dynamics. CNBC-TV18 executive editor Shereen Bhan talks to women achievers from all walks of life like NSE joint MD Chitra Ramakrishna, Crisil MD and CEO Rupa Kudva and ISRO?s Tessy Thomas.

The show will present what corporations like P&G, PepsiCo, Intel, HCL, Deloitte are doing to create equal opportunity platforms and what the latest academic research from Harvard Business Review, McKinsey and Catalyst reveals about what women can do to move up the corporate ladder.

Bhan said, "Over the past two decades, there has been a 360 degree change in the attitude of Indian women. We are seeing more women in leadership positions, and taking on various roles that were earlier ?suitable only to men.? While there has been a definite change in the dynamics of the corporate world, the issues and concerns faced by women still remain prominent. ?What Women Really Want? is our way of being perceptive about these issues and finding a resolution. We have interacted with many women corporate super achievers in our show and it was quite an insightful experience - both intimidating and inspiring."

MUMBAI: For the fourth successive year, the top six places in Football Money League from Deloitte has remained unchanged with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Chelsea retaining their rankings.

Real Madrid is now just one year short of equalling Manchester United?s dominance in the top position during the first eight years of the Money League. They are being chased hard by rivals Barcelona, whose 13 per cent growth in 2010/11 meant revenue surpassed ?450m for the first time. Manchester United?s failure to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League in 2011/12 will likely result in the gulf between the club and its Spanish opponents stretching to over ?100m.

The combined revenues of the world?s 20 highest earning football clubs have defied European economic woes by growing 3 per cent on the previous year, the business advisory firm said.

They have achieved double the rate of growth of the economies of the countries represented in the Money League, which grew on average by just 1.7 per cent during the course of 2010 and by 1.3 per cent in 2011.

The 20 clubs generated ?4.4 billion in revenue during the 2010/11 season and now represent over a quarter of the total revenues of the European football market. Nine of the top 20 clubs recorded double-digit growth in the year.

Dan Jones, Partner in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte, commented: ?Continued growth of the top 20 clubs during 2010/11 emphasises the strength of football?s top clubs, especially in these tough economic times. Whilst revenue growth has slowed from 8% in 2009/10 to 3% in 2010/11, their large and loyal supporter bases, ability to drive strong broadcast audiences and continuing attraction to corporate partners has made them relatively resilient to the economic downturn.?

Jones commented: ?Barca?s shirt deal with the Qatar Foundation, will further boost the club?s revenue in 2011/12. Nonetheless, Real Madrid will be confident it can remain at the top of the Money League next year. The two clubs? on-pitch performance, particularly in this season?s Champions League, will have a big influence on the final outcome.?

Once again, the Money League top 20 comprises clubs from the ?big five? European leagues, six of which come from the English Premier League. A further five Premier League clubs were just outside the top 20 for revenues in the 2010/11 season (Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Everton, West Ham United and Sunderland).

The Deloitte Football Money League - 2010/11 revenue

After its first season without Champions League football since 2003/04, Liverpool slipped another place down the Money League, dropping to ninth position. Despite reporting strong growth from its commercial revenues, and a new six-year kit deal with Warrior Sports from 2012/13, Liverpool needs a return to European football to help secure its top 10 position in the Money League. This is under threat from English Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur (11th) and Manchester City (12th), among others.

Alan Switzer, a director in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte, said: ?Spurs? recently received planning consent for a new stadium development, coupled with a continuation of their recent on-pitch form, could secure a Money League top 10 position for the club on a frequent basis. A glance across North London to Arsenal leaves little doubt of the scale and impact of the increased matchday revenue opportunities that arise from a modern stadium development.?

Tottenham?s debut in the Champions League, where it reached the quarter-final stages, gave the club a chance to gain 10th spot in this year?s Money League. However, it was leapfrogged by Schalke 04 ? this year?s biggest climbers ? which jumped six places, pushing Italian giants Juventus out of the top 10 in the process. Schalke?s dramatic rise up the Money League came as a result of a Champions League campaign that saw the club reach the semi-finals of the competition. However, a disappointing 14th place finish in the 2010/11 Bundesliga season and failure to qualify for Champions League football in 2011/12 will likely see a drop back down next year.

Despite impressive revenue growth, Manchester City slipped one place in the Money League.

Switzer explained: ?The club?s heavy squad investment secured Champions League football for 2011/12. When combined with the ground breaking 10-year partnership with Etihad, this will provide substantial growth across all three revenue sources and will see City break into the top 10 in the Money League next year.?

Commenting on the impact of UEFA?s financial fair play break-even requirement, Paul Rawnsley, a Director in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte, commented: ?The focus on football?s future financial sustainability is more prevalent in Europe than at any time in the past 20 years. We remain keen to see that translated into a better balance between revenue and expenditure. UEFA?s break-even requirement, to be assessed for the first time in 2013, is helpful in driving this improvement. It is encouraging more owners to consider the longer term development of their clubs, in terms of generating revenues, investing in facilities and youth development, and controlling their expenditures.?

The three clubs that have dropped out of the Money League for 2010/11 (compared to the top 20 clubs based on 2009/10 revenue) are Atl?tico de Madrid, VfB Stuttgart and Aston Villa.

MUMBAI: For all the talk of the death of linear television, 95 per cent of all television programmes watched in 2012 will be live or within a day of the original broadcast.

Even the advent of social networks has enhanced, rather than diminished, the schedule?s appeal as commentary on programmes has expanded from the living room to a community.

Conventional broadcasters need to build on this power and show advertisers the advantages of the schedule and building campaigns within the context of a schedule. While things will have changed half a century from now, when RTE reaches its 100 year anniversary, the schedule is still king in 2012.

In its 2012 report, Deloitte?s Technology Media & Telecommunications (TMT) Industry Group has stated about the rise of the multi-tablet owner: The tablet explosion has shown little sign of slowing down since the format hit the market in 2010 and it is set to take the mantle of the most rapid ?multi-anything? market penetration in history. Roughly five million tablets will be sold to people that already owned one in 2012 generating up to $2 billion in revenue.

However the tablet market will diversify around size, processing power, price and operating system in 2012 as was the case with smart phones. Corporations are also likely to require tablets with greater security and ruggedness.

That presents a challenge for content owners, network operators and retailers that need to prepare to respond to the rise in the multi-tablet household. In Ireland, CIOs will be cognisant of the fact that their organisations cannot afford to lose pace with disruptive innovations such as mobile and tablet computing or they risk losing pace with their customers.

Big data becomes a big deal : Globally, interest in big data, although in its infancy is set to grow in 2012 which will see 90 per cent of Fortune 500 companies kick off a big data initiative, triggering industry revenue of between $1 billion and 1.5 billion.

Internet companies have led the way with exploring big data but fast follower sectors are likely to include the public sector, financial services, retail, entertainment and media. Increasing levels of online activity and social interactions are one of the developments driving the emergence of the ?big data? market.

As data volumes grow exponentially, traditional database technologies struggle to generate timely insights. In the Irish context, few organisations currently have the data volumes to justify ?big data? initiatives, and few organisations have maximised the insight from transactional databases.

Deloitte suggests that, as big data continues to evolve, the majority of Irish organisations should focus on the effective use of existing transactional data to drive decision-making before looking to the opportunities that ?big data? opens in terms of insight from unstructured information and real-time insight.
