Good morning ladies and gentlemen,

We having a very good time at Bloomington, with geniuses of professors giving lecture and a quiet challenging business case.
There has been a quiet number of people giving a lecture for 1-2 days but they all are really motivated and try to project their subject to every day business life.
Today’s class impressed me i have to say even if i understood maybe 27.4% of Machiavelli’s The Prince and sun tzu’s the art of war. But again it’s the projection of literature which is stone old (as old as the hills) to transport ideas and models to today.
For the fellows who attended today but the lecture didn’t meet their expectations i have to say: „Mufasa“

We are still working on our business case which costs us a lot of time to prepare the marketing written assignement, the controlling and the business intelligence part. But i like 😉 because it’s no case study about a firm you can not identify with but it’s about starting our own business.

Awesome ideas 😀 and convinced that this might work in the real world …
So the question arises —> should we try ?!?

We are convinced that our business idea might work so we are trying hard to negoiate and pursuade these who don’t tomorrow in our final assignement.

Cheers
Andi

Good mornin‘ ladies and gentlemen 😉

The whole business case study is as descibed to produce a product (no beverage/food or service) in China or Inida and to sell in the US.
Quiet interesting because there is so much stuff to take care of (tax, transportation, cash which is for the goods in progress and so on). During the weekend project work was on hold because nearly everybody of our team went to Chicago.
Anyway we have to cover the whole lecture content of international Marketing, Controlling and BI an how models affect our strategy in total.

The product we wanna sell:
RGB Matrix Table

Long story short: now there are 4 days left and we are still working on two group assignemts and the presentation for friday. Not that much time – but we will make it and there should be time left to visit Killroy’s in between 😉
And in addition we are supposed to prepare a prereading of „Continental White Cap“ and Machiavelli’s „the Prince“.
That i have to say seems not achievable because it’s about 115 pages. In this case the workload will be adjusted to the feasible amount of reading an executive summary (if there is one) and wikipedia.

Folks have a nice one!

Chicago, view from the hotel 😉

Good morning ladies and gentlemen 😉
More Text –> Sorry for that.
Okay here we go, lecture it very good, doing much stuff on facebook and supply chain by now.
Supplier selection and setup for overall value chain and optimization criteria.
The campus in Bloomington is awesome. They spend 2,7 bn $ a year in this area and you can guess besides the bucks for the profs there might be some over for gardening, buildings, equipment on a very large area 😀

Tomorrow we have lecture again about SCM and then working on our case study to introduce a product which is built and assembled in China to the US.
After class we go to Chicago to get in touch with culture stuff 😀
