03-18/It's All Greek to Me
I recently have been very proud of my attempts to go back to school for further education to receive my MBA. Sticking with my Alma mater, I am back in Embry-Riddle and am in a MBA program designed for Aviation.
The first course was in marketing, and it started off pretty promising. We talked a little about airlines and their commercials, and debated certain marketing philosophies over an online discussion board. Great.
The next few week's assignments, went something like this.
2.) "Take a look at amazon.com and...."
3.) "For example, Apple has....."
4.) "Take a look at amazon.com
Ok, we got it. Apple markets stuff. Cool. Amazon has a very good website. Great. Rinse and repeat for 6 more weeks.
I limped my way through the class being very successful as a fake. I figured I could get used to this as long as it stayed this easy.
All excited about my ability to bullshit and to do 95 percent of my homework at work, this term's class is operations research. It is basically all about using Prob and Stats and applying it to the business world. Hmmm....
Week 1 consisted of my sister and her boyfriend doing my homework and online quiz. This week's discussion is using information from a problem to figure out the decision tree, gather the probabilities and decide whether or not some asshole should bid on something or other.
This is actually the homework.
雜誌是一座橋樑
身在資訊流通快速，瞬息萬變的世界裡，我們需要更精準地掌握時代脈動，以及了解全球潮流動向。雜誌為我們打開觀察世界的窗口，提供來自全球各地訊息，包括財經、設計，時尚，娛樂，以及藝術…等等。
進步的動力來自進步的觀念。雜誌像一座橋樑，將我們與最先進的觀念聯結接軌，並且化為進步的動力。
時間過得飛快，2009年又即將邁入尾聲，而在迎接2010年到來的同時，為了讓自己比任何人都更早嗅到潮流的起源，請你作好萬全準備，期待新年度到來。
