Jamie expressed a common lament and frustration in class last night. So, what if you do start to understand some of these concepts, especially "systems thinking" and lessons from the "Beer Game", but your management is unimpressed. They just want to keep doing the same thing.
Now, this topic is not meant as a management-bashing exercise (you are all MBA students and thus may be a manager someday if you aren't already). I did ask you to read my "Lead to Succeed" article on week 1. I also believe that Tom Peters (http://www.tompeters.com) has some interesting ideas on what you can do from within. I am also attaching the paper I will be presenting in El Paso / Juarez on November 30.
So . . . what can/should you do now that you know some of these techniques? This topic is meant for the week after the midterm, and is worth +1 point on the final.
