When Nostalgia meets Analysis :-)

Today, we had the case on Japan's economy in Country Economic Analysis. While going through the case, which described the journey of Japan in last century until now, and the various reforms - political, social, economic that took place in this country of rising sun; my mind often wavered to the memories of those good-old-days I have spent in Tokyo - the three years that I enjoyed so much; and all the gifts &boons - direct and indirect that this country has conferred on me.

So, I was curious to see how Patricia takes the discussion on Japan forward. As I had commented earlier, she is a believer of things - and through today's discussion, although we discussed what went wrong in Japan and how that caused an impact; and while we saw the plight of a common Japanese family due to these economic changes through eyes of Kurosawa-sensei's movie "Tokyo Sonata"; towards teh end, Patricia also offered the ways out of this current situation.

What can be done in Japan, and what will work to bring it out of the current economic crisis successfully, what can help to increase its working population, and so on - were the points we discussed to conclude today's session.

After the class, I took a toll of things that are now lined up in front of me [and my classmates], as this term is in its final phase. Here's a list for my own reference in coming days, and for information of all of you:
28th Nov: Corporate Finance Group Case submission
29th Nov: Supply Chain Management Final Report submission
2nd Dec: Talent Management Final Exam
3rd Dec: Country Economics Group Case Analysis Submission
4th Dec: Negotiations Final Exam
5th Dec: Business Government & Society Final Exam
8th Dec: Marketing Strategy final report submission
10th Dec: Marketing Strategy presentation
10th Dec: Country Economics final Exam
and then, after a break for one week, we will have the Business Government and Society final presentation on 18th Dec and Corporate Finance final exam on 19th Dec.

To sum it all up, its time to step up, its time to stock the red-bulls and burns and other energy drinks, its time to use the most hours that we can from 24 hours of the day, its time to get set for the steepest and final part of the roller coaster ride that is term three :-)
