IT Factory .. yeah that's right :-)

Well, another busy and long day until now today, starting at 9 AM with Applied Financial Engineering double session after a long time, followed by Applied Corporate Finance, and then a four hour class of Technology & Business Strategy.
This was of course followed by a group meeting for our case facilitation for Wednesday, and then a loooong meeting for finalizing our Applied Corporate Finance presentation of tomorrow.

The night is still young and I still need to take a look at some group work for Internet as a Sales Channel presentation. All-in-all, the kind of Monday that everybody dreads to have :-)

By the way, what were the unique learning points for today?

In Applied Corporate Finance class, we started to venture into the Brownian motion and its applications in the Derivatives world. And, we ventured into the VBA scripting techniques. A new arena is now open to explore and it was fun to work on it.

And then, the applied corporate finance class on Private Equity seemed a little repetitive today, specially after attending the Iberian PE conference of Friday.

Technology Class had a good case discussion and during the concepts discussion, Prof Ramiro introduced a new framework to us, where need for current and future IT innovations was mapped on a two-by-two, and the quadrant where current IT innovations are important but future IT innovations may not be so relevant was termed as the factory. Yes, the factory - where we have to have the machines up and running and efficient, for company to keep running !!

Anyways, the presentation that I have made for technology case facilitation turned out to be a hit with the group, so it was worth staying up late last night to work on it :-)

Lets see when I wrap up for the day, for now, the applied corporate finance presentation preparation is still in progress ..
