Books like “What they teach you at Harvard Business School” are good for getting a feel for the general experience. But something more systematic and textbook-like would be useful.

In some ways, your class is a bit disadvantaged in that you have Accounting and Decision Models the same term, since some or all will have never seen either topic. 2010d had Accounting and Managerial Effectiveness together, which meant lots of focus on Accounting. Semester 2 was DM and Econ, of which at least Econ is somewhat logical. Nevertheless, complaining doesn't get the job done, and it's good that you're going to just focus your energy on working harder. That’s a great attitude to have Vince.

That is an interesting perspective on Shanghai/China...I know when I was there, I focused on the China vs. India angle, not the U.S.. China has discipline, everyone moving in the same direction but less freedom. India has more freedom, but more arguing in the political system and less gets done. Right now, China is obviously in the "lead" in terms of economic development, but ultimately if India can get everyone moving in the right direction then I feel that India will have better long-term success. But I've never thought about China as a world superpower and how that might affect humanitarian issues. Part of me thinks that they aren't really going to follow that same model as the U.S. due to the high degree of in-group collectivism. We'll see. nick sarraf , thanks for sharing!

I can actually picture this guy having met a number of people like him but I don't think I ever had a full two hour conversation. You have probably made his milenium. Best, Kristin Jordan,

That's funny that he mentioned all the conspiracy theories about aliens, Obama and Bush. If I were in your shoes, I would have walked away in a heartbeat after hearing the person talk crazy about stuff like that. But since you are patient, you get to share this story and thank you for making my dawn worthwhile. If all the bizarre will come in truth, what are we supposed to do?
