Hi, Eric -- This would, I believe, represent my first communication with you as an official "friend." (Applause, applause).

I suspect you'd agree, but with a lot more enthusiasm, nicht wahr?

Hi Eric:

I still remember having a conversation with you at SCIP 08 in San Diego. I attended your workshop and during a break you told me how you have learnt spanish in DC.

The political unrest in the Middle East brings up some geeky thoughts about the techniques of strategic analysis. This is not from the "Hey, you should dig megatrends!" book of the future, but direct from the canon of heavy geopolitics and game theory. E.H. Carr's realism versus… Continue

Not that this event was surprising to anybody with a cursory interest in money or cars - GM bet its future on the world’s endless thirst for bloated Hummers and Yukons and left quality and disruptive innovation to Asian rivals, all while locked into being America’s largest private provider of healthcare and pensions.
