On Human (?) Leadership.

Sometimes best solutions are gathered from other sectors, or other firms, it’s what we call benchmarking. Please let me propose some sort of animal benchmarking: could we learn anything from alpha dogs leadership???.

I’ll try to analyse it later on. But it’s open for debate!.

…just create a market!

This seems to be the trendiest solution for a good forecast. This quite seems a manifesto, but the "wisdom of the crowds" (as defined by James Surowiecki) is more accurate than other forecasting techniques. Welcome to the world of information markets!.

 

So, you know, want a good forecast?: JUST create a market! (isn’t that liberal).

Lecturing

Posted in business, economics, me by Francisco Marco-Serrano @ Jan 12, 2008

It was a real good experience, although short, when years ago after gaining my degree and before leaving to the private sector I had the opportunity to lecture for 2 months. Now it’ s time for rejoin the Faculty… . I’m quite near of getting it! I’m really happy.

WPMU Upgrade

Posted in me by Francisco Marco-Serrano @ Jan 9, 2008

OK, just upgraded to the new version of WP-mu…, and almost die when I discovered it wasn’t working! (although this time, for the first time, I had a back up…, will be I’m getting older). Well, after deleting some plugins (the ones the instructions say) it worked.

 

Anyone for a cup of tea?.
