    Hi

    Thanks (NOT!!!!) for this - 300+k pure waste of my time
    ***I don't want it***
    ***I didn't ask for it***
    PLEASE DO NOT SEND ATTACHMENTS TO A LIST!!!
    'Scuse the shouting, but this has happened to me about five times this week
    on various lists and it is a pain because I pay for access to the internet
    by the time connected. No free local calls I'm afraid. I am waiting for
    some photos of my new niece from relatives in New Zealand so every time my
    mailbox looks heavy .... Appreciate my disappointment!!

    Why not set up a website with this file on it and point us to it with a link
    and a brief explanation?

    Ken

    Dear Management Educators:

    This maybe of interest to MG-ED-DV members in around Ohio/Michigan/Indiana
    and Western Pennsylvania. Others, please excuse the posting - though you
    may find the attached seminar brochure of interest.

    I shall be facilitating a full-semester seminar on INTERNET STRATEGY here
    at Bowling Green (Toledo) Ohio later this semester. The seminar is being
    conducted in an Executive MBA format, with class meetings on six Saturdays
    during April 1 - May 6. Faculty for the seminar includes senior
    professionals from organizations such as ChryslerDaimler, FreeMarkets, IBM,
    NextBase, and Oracle. I believe this is the most comprehensive and
    practical seminar on this topic available today.

    Peter Drucker once said, "A time of turbulence is a dangerous time, but its
    greatest danger is the temptation to deny reality." The reality of our 24X7
    digital economy is that the Internet and e-business are changing
    organizations, business processes, and our very lives in fundamental ways.
    Here are some indications of things to come over the next 2-3 years:

    1. Ford recently decided to provide a PC and Internet connection to each
    one of their 350,000 employees at their homes. Delta Airlines is doing the
    same.

    2. You can buy a print copy of Encyclopedia Britannica for about �1,000 or
    the entire contents on a CD-ROM for �400. Last November, the company
    decided to place the full Britannica on their Web site - free for anyone to
    use. We will continue to see examples of more and more companies that are
    essentially destroying their existing business models in favor of e-biz
    models.

    3. General Electric CEO Jack Welch recently told all executives to find a
    mentor in the company, someone much younger to them, to help them learn
    about Internet and the World Wide Web. To emphasize the point, he himself
    is being coached by the head of GE.COM - someone thirty years younger to
    him.

    4. You can now send (actually send) cash by email through www.paypal.com
    and it won't cost you a thing.

    A seminar brochure in PDF format is attached. Let me know if there are any
    questions (vjain@cba.bgsu.edu) or if you would like to receive printed
    brochures. You can also visit the seminar Web site:
