One of the reasons for the blog is to integrate and link the real world of business with what we study in class. So, click on this column by George Will about Boeing. Notice how many terms, supply chain, cot concerns, strategy of hub versus point to point, appear in this one column. AIrbus bet big on their huge 550 seat plane wedded to the hub system. Boeing bet big on the shift to a point to point system. take a look at the Dubai International Finance Center .
These guys will want direct, not hub flights. And if you think these guys are not serious, consider this site for best hotel in the world.
Just a few years back, it appeared that Europe’s bet on beating Boeing would win out, after all they had govt subsidies to the moon. Boeing was worried. No more. Thinigs change quickly these days.
There are four levels of probability
- Possible
- Plausible
- Probable
- Certainly True
The quick and the dead in business are determined by how well they can discern the difference between plausible and probable. Our purpose in class is to provide you with the tools to do just that.
