NEW PRODUCT: Social Explorer -"Our objective is to help visually analyze and understand the demography of the U.S. through the use of interactive maps and data reports. Our primary functions include Demographic Data Analysis, Interactive Map/Report Design and Software Development. Our main goal is to visually display the demographic change that has occurred in the U.S. since 1790 through the present, for the country over all down to the level of the county. For more recent years, one can display areas as small as your own neighborhood. Certain cities may even be displayed as far back as 1910. To do this we have developed a collection of interactive demographic maps that can be viewed, queried and manipulated on our site."

Father Ollie Wiliams, C.S.C. is quoted in an article in the Cape Town Book Fair "The Literary MBA in SA – Too Good to be True" Williams feels strongly that any MBA programme must offer students an understanding of ethical frameworks. “Just as they have to have a conceptual framework to adequately comprehend accountancy, finance and marketing, so they need something that creates and reinforces an overarching world view.”
John F. Sherry Jr., Herrick Professor and Chair of Marketing, recently received “best paper” recognition from the Marketing Science Institute for his working paper describing how companies progress through certain stages in order to become more market-oriented. “Creating a Market Orientation: A Longitudinal, Multifirm, Grounded Analysis of Cultural Transformation” won the annual Robert D. Buzzell Best MSI Working Paper Award for 2008. The award recognizes papers that have made the most significant contribution to marketing practices and thought over a two year period, and signals writing and research that has lasting value to corporate marketing executives, according to the institute. |

Quote of the Day
People will frighten you about a graduation.... They use words you don't hear often: "And we wish you Godspeed." It is a warning, Godspeed. It means you are no longer welcome here at these prices. ~ Bill Cosby
Graduation is only a concept. In real life every day you graduate. Graduation is a process that goes on until the last day of your life. If you can grasp that, you'll make a difference. ~ Arie Pencovici |
