ELMA jatkuu viimeistä päivää

Tulin vaihteeksi Helsinkiin. Halusin tutustua messun muihin osastoihin tarkemmin ja samalla oli tilaisuus hankkia värikästä kuva-aineistao ELYKE-blogia varten. Tavoitteena oli tukea loppuraportin materiaalituotanto, mutta sen lisäksi syntyi konkreettinen idea jatkohankkeesta. Ehdotusta ELYKE r.y. Markkinointi- ja Vientirenkaan perustamisesta sai kannatusta ja tässä olisi oivallinen mahdollisuus viedä päätökseen ns. MICROKING prosessi, joka alkumetreillä kulki Kurvikas-Svengis nimikkeen alla.

Professor Drucker

Peter Drucker, the most influential management writer of the modern era, has died age 95. A spokesman for the Claremont Graduate University in California, where Prof Drucker worked since the 1971, said he died peacefully on Friday morning after a short illness.

Prof Drucker remained active until the end of his life. Earlier this year he was honoured with the McKinsey Award for the best article published in the Harvard Business Review during 2004. He had just finished collaborating with colleagues on a reworking of the ideas contained in The Effective Executive, first published in 1966.

House prices

House price inflation is only a real gain to dead people. Only when you drop down dead can you also get rid of the roof over your head. Otherwise, your gain is largely an illusion. You can't take advantage of it without sleeping under a bridge. That's not a realistic alternative in a cold northern country like Finland.
 
House prices in US have been reaching astronomical hights. The median house price in San Francisco has reached $726,900. Is this too high? How much should a house in San Francisco sell for? Real estate specialists are telling that that the typical resident of Northern California cannot afford to buy the typical house. Which makes me wonder who does buy them.
