Darl has asked me to set up a Wiki for his cur­rent MGMT 301 (Man­age­ment The­ory & Prac­tice) and MGMT 329 (Advanced The­ory & Prac­tice) classes. Well its done and now the site Bad Dog is up and run­ning. The name of the site came from one of the symbols/characters used in the sim­u­la­tion … …

Today, I had to stand in for Darl (who had to go over­seas rather unex­pec­tedly). It was nice being back in under­gradu­ate teach­ing — it was a warm com­fort­able feel (for me at least). I won­der how they felt about it. The first couple of weeks of Mike’s Bikes is often a shock to the …

Unsur­pris­ingly some are very good, and some are not. What is sur­pris­ing is the pat­terns that we’ve seen occur­ring in the cases and bib­li­o­graph­ies. Firstly, the mem­bers of each team …

To every­one who has pos­ted their journ­als online, I’d like to express my thanks to you for mak­ing your work pub­licly avail­able.

Let us sup­pose there there exists a small town, which has two bakers. Cur­rently, the bakers sell their bread for $1.50 per loaf. Both bakers have been in the busi­ness a long time, and their cost struc­ture for bread is pretty much the same. It costs them $1.00 to pro­duce a loaf. So, their profit …

Some rel­ev­ant law bq.. *27.Contracts, arrange­ments, or under­stand­ings sub­stan­tially lessen­ing com­pet­i­tion pro­hib­ited* # No per­son shall enter into a con­tract or arrange­ment, or arrive at an under­stand­ing, con­tain­ing a pro­vi­sion that has the pur­pose, or has or is likely to have the effect, of sub­stan­tially lessen­ing com­pet­i­tion in a mar­ket. # No per­son shall give …

Imme­di­ately after class, Chin­taka and Howie star­ted talk­ing about the case together. I was impressed by the qual­ity of their con­ver­sa­tion, and said that it was a shame that it hadn’t happened like that in class ? and Howie poin­ted out that he did have his hand up when Chin­taka was speak­ing but wasn’t ‘picked’. …
