So what is this blog about?

This blog is about management, technology and finance. And when the muses strike about art. Most of what I will write about would not be completely original, rather it would be contemplation about and reviews of publications, books and articles. After all between a job, studies, family and other activities who has the time to come up with original thoughts - only the very lucky ones: philosophers, writers and columnist.

As an MIT student of System Design and Management (SDM), I also hope to write some insights about the program. I need some perspective in order to organize my thoughts and so it will probably take a few months.

Another aspect of being a business (& eng) student is that I find myself reading case studies instead of the things I would normally read. Case studies will probably not be much of an inspiration, I hope they will at least be educating. I also hope that the change in my reading habits would not “dry” up my blogs.

AA Problem

AA stands for Attention Allocation not Alcoholic Anonymous. Sorry for the deceiving eye catcher. PTT presentation is work I did in 2005 in the purely abstract edges of Operation Research. I uploaded a PPT presentation. The presentation is lighter and more colorful than the actual article. Warning you have to be a bit of a geek to press the link above. For the super geeks I put a link to the full article. It’s called “Attention Allocation to Partially Observable Heterogeneous Customers – with Imperfect Treatment”, Catchy? Full AA Problem article

Digital Life - Art of Display

TNS, a market research firm, conducted an extensive research on the use of mobile, internet applications and social media around the world. What's really cool about it, more than the findings themselves, is the way the findings are presented. Sometimes, visualization is what matters most. http://discoverdigitallife.com/

SDM from up on the bridge

I am taking the first spring semester as a long distance student in MIT's System Design and Managment (SDM) program. The long distance option, which I am grateful for, poses some challenges. A month into the semester, I am still trying to improve the interaction with the classroom, faculty and fellow students and maintain a balance between school and work. Setting up a work station I am using my home office (/living room /dining room/ guest sofa) from which I connect to the ‘bridge’. I find it useful to work with two screens. One displays the class, the mike controls and my video (I want to see how I appear to people looking at me from the classroom). The other displays the presentation slides and notebook (OneNote). The webcam is positioned above the main screen and when I look at the other screen, I am not facing the webcam. Class participation The video and sound quality are good. Material is always available before hand on the web. So keeping up with the studies is eas...
