Ross Goss in the Monroe Street Journal had a little tidbit that I took as a sign that apocalypse in upon us and that I chose poorly: a group of future investment bankers were treated to a ride from Ann Arbor to Charlotte aboard a bank's G550 corporate jet. Manufacturing? DOH! What the heck was I thinking? Manucturers make jets, i-bankers buy them, ride in them, and make the millions when the companies who own one decide to merge with companies who own more than one.
My group's supply chain management paper about revenue (yield) management in the sports industry came together rather smoothly through a volley of emails this morning, along with plans to gather for dinner tomorrow. I studied for World Econ some, too, along with random internet surfing and a talk about strategic sourcing at Target. I wavered significantly about attending the Target talk, but ultimately I figured that 15 months from now I'd be pretty stoked to have the chance to hear such a thing so I'd better recognize.
