I think MS follows the model because they won in the past.

My opinion is that Steve Jobs won't survive in MS due to their culture. Their take on innovation is to be a late market joiner.

They win because they do things better with their resources.

MS has an innovation model. It's just that it is a very non-innovative innovation model.

Re:The decline of the MBA will cut off the supply of bullshit on Friday December 18, 2009 @02:20AM (#1002742)
For most students, MBAs are for networking, from what I was told.

People exchange their business cards on the very first day and build up a network trying to climb the corp ladder together...

It is a sad situation but nevertheless, who seek true value in our modern world? Reflections will bring us wisdom.

Due to Google's preference to key word search at the moment?

Google doesn't like semantic now as I recall someone posted a link saying that maybe half a year ago.

Re:Ask HN: What's the best first business book for a programmer? on Wednesday November 18, 2009 @05:28AM (#948078)
If you are a philosophy person like me, this one is for you:

Classic Drucker: Wisdom from Peter Drucker from the Pages of Harvard Business Review.

It shows you what and how a pioneer in the field of business thinks of business itself. Learn from his thinking and learning pattern. They are just like common sense for business (like DStruc and Algo in programming).

Why don't they negotiate with Google?

I don't see any point of trying to threaten Google. Just be a man, mate, the Aussie way.

Re:Why I left math on Monday November 09, 2009 @03:30PM (#931672)
Good point.

I think the bottom line comes down to needs for cross-clique knowledge sharing. The possibility for a change in culture is low if there is no incentive for it.

Well, at least Billy is helping the poor in third world countries. :-)
Thanks for the background knowledge. Cheers. :-)
Re:ASK HN: I'm lost -- need direction on Sunday October 11, 2009 @02:39AM (#874422)
I think it is a matter of financial planning. When you know the cost of doing a startup, you will know whether you want to jump into it.

Just assume things fail and go against you will give you a good bottom line perspective. At least you have enough buffer to expected failures.

All the best to you. Cheers.

I think it is a question from the crowd that John Hennessy is trying answer.
Re:What happened to Argentina? on Wednesday October 07, 2009 @03:21PM (#867442)
A point on Human Capital: From what I learned, developed countries (and companies) depends much more on Structural Capital and not Human Capital in long run.

Human Capital is seen as a risky asset due to its volatility. From a intellectual capital management perspective, my guess is that Argentina has not been successful into converting its Human Capital into Structural Capital.

Education is one of the tools of such conversion. With my limited knowledge, policy and society design are the high level effective tools for the job.

Re:Introducing the Google Chrome OS on Wednesday July 08, 2009 @02:53AM (#693454)
I hope someone will wrap it as an application on Windows.

That would be fantastic to have a OS to handle all web related activities for general users.

Thanks for letting me know.

I have just found out that I cannot delete my post.

Cheers.
