Wipro has been an advertiser of the magazine and this whole thing goes full circle. What could have been a good story was even lost in the first badly plotted chapter.

The tech industry in the US rightly suspects these story motives and methods of Business Week. Too much rumor and speculation, not enough good reporting on whats important, and usually after the rest of the tech magazines have already published better stories a week earlier.

It smells of the exact stink that comes from it or is that the dead fish I wrapped it in?

Likely, the Business Week magazine name gave you higher expectations that his book might be worthwhile. His writing reputation is well known to be biased towards a few companies (like Wipro) and generally, tech-light.

His book has sold very poorly in America according to Amazon.com More of the books were given away by Wipro than were ever purchased by readers – like a company brochure as you sugggest – not a real business book. That’s how I got two copies – from Wipro salespeople (although I must admit I flipped through it and thought it was something not worth reading either).

The magazine has new editors and is still losing more money than ever.

Perhaps Hamm’s job will be the next one outsourced.
