International Business Class - India 2008

I must admit that I was not replete with anticipation about the upcoming trip until two days ago. That is when we received the proposed itinerary. As I was looking it over, I sensed the excitement building in me. Since reading it, I have checked out all the companies, temples, palaces, markets, etc. that are on the schedule, via the internet. It looks like this is going to be a great adventure, with so many interesting things to see and do - and we might even learn a thing or two about international business, to boot!

I am also glad that I read Rajiv's e-mail - I'm hoping I can earn my way to a square or two of toilet paper during the trip!

Two years ago for Christmas my mother gave me The World is Flat. I started to read it, but at the time found it to be a real snoozer. This fall for the HR class it was required reading. So I located it on my bookshelf, where it was gathering dust, and it still had the bookmark in it - on page 124. Well, given that it was two years ago, I decided I should start from the beginning. Much to my surprise, I could not put it down. This time around I found it interesting and relevant. I am looking forward to discussing the 10 and Triple in class and hearing if everyone buys into Feldman's theories and/or if there will be solid arguments opposing them.
