It's 7 in the evening and I am unable to walk home because it is pouring outside! Yesterday I had my math exam - yey, it's over and I did well! I feel that a burden has been lifted off my shoulders, although I still have International Strategy and Latin American history to worry about. I am exhausted from so much reading, and I dread what is to come. By fall, I hope to learn how to manage my time more efficiently - or else I'll sink :)
My strategy class today was phenomenal! We discussed Japanese and American approaches to production, control, design, etc in the automotive industry. It is amazing how the Japanese minimize costs from every single activity, which translates into savings of billions of dollars. When we did the calculations in class, I was speechless. I never thought the differences are so major. It was fascinating to listen to two of our classmates, who have previously worked in Japan, speak about how business is done there and what the values are that make Japanese companies so successful. With everything that I have learned today, I feel inspired to do my internship in Japan! ... well, in case my great plan to work at Burj-al-Arab in Dubai doesn't work out! :) If you want to see something amazing, check out http://www.burj-al-arab.com/ (select to take the virtual tours - right side of page). A second fabulous alternative would be working with another of Dubai's amazing projects: the Palm! See http://www.thepalm.ae/ and share with me your impressions, can't wait to hear from you!
That's all for today because I must find a quiet spot to study three strategy cases and two history chapters for tomorrow. I am sure there is even more to read in my folder, i don't even want to open it :)
Lots of love!
