I’m very impressed by the alumni group’s handeling of my (somewhat childish) fit I had yesterday. Screwups are bound to happen but they jumped on that problem and took care of it VERY quickly. Well done.

Wow that was fast!
Thursday, September 25th, 2008A note to alumni fundraisers
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008It is really really really bad to contact someone asking for money without bothering to ensure that you have the right name.
It makes your recipient feel unimportant… So I won’t be giving you money… For a long time.
It doesn’t take an MBA to see that chain of events.
(Sorry, they also caught me on a day when I’m in a bad mood, most other days I’d just laugh it off but not today)
It took 2 Years
Friday, September 5th, 2008Anyone remember this post where I mentioned a talk about how it’s going to be more expensive to produce in china than domestically? Well, it came true (although not for any of the same reasons so maybe my assertion that I don’t agree with the model was still correct):
Thanks to rising fuel prices and wage inflation in China, it’s actually more expensive to manufacture and ship electronics across the Pacific for the American market than it would be to produce them domestically, according to a report from The McKinsey Quarterly.
I don’t think that the BCG talk mentioned anything about rising fuel prices and wage inflation but was all about networks (social and technilogical) as well as channel saturation.
