Two more weeks until school is over and everything is going full force right now. I don’t even have time to construct a full blog post, but maybe just a stream of consciousness?
Got back from C4C Weekend up at Stanford on Sunday – came in 2nd behind UCLA for the Golden Briefcase. We’ll get them next year…
4 projects going on concurrently: New Product Development (naan bakery); Market Demand and Sales Forecasting (credit card delinquency and demographics correlation); PRIME (Argentina Banco Galicia); Net Impact Service Corps (Literacy Network of Greater Los Angeles)
Registered and got all my electives for next year:
BAEP 551, Introduction to New Ventures
MOR 571, Leadership and Executive Development
FBE 527, Entrepreneurial Finance
MKT 560, Marketing Strategy and Policy
IOM 547, Designing Spreadsheet-Based Business Models
Figuring out where to stay and what to do in Argentina after PRIME for about 4 days. Right now thinking about going to a River Plate soccer game and seeing Iguazu Falls, short-listed as a candidate to be one of the new 7 Wonders of the world.
Anyone have any great suggestions?
