It would be a cliché if we say that the world of business has not remained the same. Benign and considerate, no more. 9/11, as the September 11 terrorist attacks on WTC are now known as, has just changed everything around us.The gory acts of the religious fanatics not only have shaken the US business enterprises; its echo could be heard in the realm of the Indian business as well.Millions of workers have been rendered jobless. Those who have survived the are waking up to the reality of steep pay cuts.

The world of dotcoms has been shaken up completely. Many of them are now neck deep in trouble, with majority of them on the verge of extinction. The much-touted safe and sound business models of biggies like AOL and Amazon are no reason for any succor. All are feeling the heat. And, so are their brick-and-click brethrens.

Companies are coming under pressure from the markets to tighten their belts to wrest the falling bottomline. Those who are unable to respond are seeing helplessly as their stocks get punished in the market. It's tough going out there.For the corporate world, it's time for action. Time for taking tough decisions, playing sensibly in a world where the rules of the game have changed quick and fast.
