OMG! 在欧亚两个大陆跨越7小时时区经过Google Doc协助至少两个星期车轮讨论＋研究＋实践探索后，终于宣布完成了2008年底南中国－新加坡－巴厘岛全线行程的预定。几个吃惊：巴厘岛的酒店数量之多；之有特色；之价格低廉；印尼Lion Air的在线支付居然只支持由当地银行发行的Visa/Mastercard!! 而且居然到现在没有电子客票---好歹我是做过数个航空业咨询项目的，万分怀疑给Lion Air亲自打了电话后确认真是如此，还说您要么到印尼来那票，要么在新加坡那票，总之没有那两张纸儿是上不了飞机的---半天没有晃过神来－按照IATA的规定，貌似Lion Air可以上月球经营去了…… 因为酒店各有千秋，千面不重，Au就大胆地在我们为期一周的行程中预订了三个不同位置的酒店－降落后先在岛的最南端猫上几天看海，然后圣诞节那天搬到岛的最北看大海中自由的海豚---凌晨三点！亲爱的海豚怎么这么聪明挑了这么个好时间出来活动，最后再住回到岛中央的首府集镇－－长征一番后占领大本营。看攻略在当地最好包车游玩的，这个140*80KM2的小岛是不能靠11路过活，铁定会废掉。很便宜地可以包个车不限里程的游历众多特色景点。所以换个酒店也不是什么不可完成的任务了。对Au的革命指示咱就两个字：满足！ 海岸浮潜还是Au的最爱，在去大堡礁来个终极海游之前，Au还是会带着自己的浮潜套装在尽可能多地清澈海岸把老虎鱼和其它各种色彩斑斓个头不一不知姓名的各种鱼类看个尽兴。我实在想不起来小时候受了什么刺激，对海水的恐惧莫名之大，所以数次海滩之旅基本是在一步步壮胆：最早的普吉岛我把头一探到水下就呼吸失控，鼻子猛地一吸把面具紧紧吸到脸上，然后顿时觉得生命没有保障，所以基本在船上看鱼了；马尔代夫总算客服了一些，但是还是紧张地抓着Au不让她游得离船太远，到最后还是放弃，改为到船上替她放哨去了。不知道这一次将是怎样的海滩怎样的自我克服之旅～ 最近有点累，虽然充实，可怎么说我以前也不是虚度时光的主啊，犯不着这么balance自己。再过三个多星期，学完课，考完试，到海边小岛上傻傻地休息休息，明年1月，开始在新加坡的最后6个月的学习。至少亚洲的美食可以伸手即得，就冲这个，走了！～ November 16 这年头有什么青春励志连续剧，怎么没有很多人提“励志流行歌曲”的概念？
我突然想起来数年前的这首<Win The Race>，老牌德国组合Modern Talking的，贴到这吧。disco风格的乐曲～
MV附上，歌词买一赠一，配合使用效果最佳。 还有另外一首Ready For the Victory, 作为boundle产品打包推出
画面，怎么说呢，蒙太奇猛得有点过火，和德国的风格对比太鲜明。图不完全配题不说，隐约竟有湿咸的感觉。因为是转载，本人不承担任何可能引起观众不适的责任。
建议使用方式：MV全部交给耳朵，歌词则全部留给眼睛。
Ready for the Victory Lyrics
You're in our hearts
Just from round to round
You will be the champion
The king without a crown
Like a fireball
You'll never never give up
Hear the engine call
Waiting for the start
Chorus:
Can't you see
We're ready for the victory
It's clear -
You're the hero just for you and me
I feel -
We're in the pole-position-team
Can't you see it's like a dream?
From Australia to USA
And From Italy to Germany
And From San Marino to Canada
He is our biggest star
Oh you cannot loose
If you have a lucky hand
You will be the hero
You have many friends
Dreams we cannot buy
You will win again
Nobody does it better
Through passion and through pain
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Win the race Lyrics
We have a dream - you'll win tonight
Take the chance, take the chance, god is on your side
We pray for you, you're like a hurricane
You can win, you can win, you can win the game
Try the impossible, we want a miracle
And there are millions fans around
Our dream is free, we want the victory
The hero's back in town.
Refrain
Oh come on, we, we can win the race
Oh he, fights just face to face
Oh see, he will win the game
Again, again, again
Oh come on, we, we can win the race
Oh he, he will take the chance
Oh only the strong survive
We'll stay by your side
We have a dream, we don't give up
We can win, we can win, right from the start
The price is high, time is on your side
Take the chance, take the chance, you'll win tonight
I know you are the best, you can beat the rest
We'll never let you down
You'll have the energy, we want the victory
The hero is back in town
| 短短数个星期，忽觉天翻地覆。世界的稳定运行需要小心翼翼地维护，但是若要其崩塌性地解体，实际上大约只需要两个星期，接下来再多给世人几个星期去最终认识和认可整个经济体系已经几乎全面崩溃的事实。
连锁反应全面爆发的速度快得超乎预期。我所关注的实体经济遭受影响，consulting市场的萎缩，都快于预期早早地出现了，而且是以比预期程度的更为惨烈的态势跌在了眼前。通过各种渠道了解了几大咨询公司全球以及中国区业务惨烈萎缩以及对MBA Recruiting的超级低迷；看到了中国政府祭出4000亿天文数字拉动内需的措施以及新闻联播耗费25分钟轮番介绍各个大省积极部署拉动内需工作然后5分钟简单扫描一些无关痛痒的国际花边的宣传结构；看到了德国也最终未能保全最终彻底宣布欧洲经 |
济体全面跌入衰退，切切实实明白了，以前还感受得不真切的30年代的大股灾和经济危机，现在，在80年后，终于退去了“资本主义”才会经历的脆弱外壳，披挂上了“全球一体化”的时髦标签,，正式走进了中国, 走进了我们以前近乎无忧无虑的生活。
于是忽然意识到，不幸或是有幸，我们这批人注定要走进历史了！当然，我们有充分地时间，就在现在，好好体味和见证这段历史。将来有一天，我们会对我们的孩子甚至孙子说：当年21世纪第一次全球经济大危机那会，中国也未能幸免，你爸爸/爷爷我当时还在商学院读书，毕业后*******, 切身感受了那段历史。得到的经验是&&&&&& .
为了将来还能在边喝着热茶，边用平静第心情回顾这段历史，现在我需要调用各种资源先fix“*******”，同时前瞻性地预测一下究竟怎样的“&&&&&&”会令我于这样的年景中收益。历史不可改变，螳臂无法当车，但是仍然有各显神通的回旋余地以为日后从长计议。我不大会为20多年前的出生而后悔---如果只为了躲避这一次如此大规模的经济衰退实在犯不上，否则不来这世上走一遭那是最安全的，啥坏事也碰不到；但是如果想不清楚&&&&&&，待机会到来时无法把握，那就找个没人的地方好好挠墙去算了。这有些映射十年动乱中仍在坚持读书的那些有远见的青年人，牛棚抑或马圈都不能阻挡坚持学习的决心，所以等高考刚刚恢复之时，第一批进入大学的新时代学子爆发出了惊人的能量和潜力，他们如今在社会上所扮演的角色明显超越日后在平静社会中成长出来的大学生。特定的经历给他们带来的智慧，会在日后更长的生活中逐渐显现出其宝贵和真实的力量。
有这样几个办法去get sense on “&&&&&&”, 各种年献资料，各种人物传记，尤其是针对2001/02的那次由于互联网泡沫崩裂所造成的暂时性惨烈低迷，有很多的当时的深度新闻和日后的回顾性分析，都能从中发现不少冷静智慧。这些，对于现时的诸位，是非常有借鉴意义和启发的。
慢慢回过味来，为什么“历史”居然可以成为大学里面的一个专业，而且还有博士学位－－小时候单纯的死记硬背是最最低级的历史学习方式；在今天，当我发自内心地感到应该从，必定能从，或长或短的历史回顾中汲取宝贵经验的时候，信服地说一声：历史是个好东西。
WSJ/NY Times/HBR/Economist/BW ----正好学校都有全部的电子资源, 开始跳入其中，寻找乱世之中最值得探究的应对智慧。
熔为历史了，不是“融”，也不是“溶”---这次没有办法作到和谐太平，也没有办法作到无声无息地你中有我我中有你，而是有些阵痛甚至火花的“熔”，不可抗拒的力量，不能改变的事实，以及仅存的“改变的意愿和改变方式的选择”。大不了最后和你一起成为合金～
下星期开始bidding P3的选修课了，在13门共同的核心课程之后，标志着大家多元化的选修课大幕正式拉开。
Who you want to be? What you want to be? ----选择之中，大家渐行渐远，却都走向共同的未知。祝所有人好运吧 November 13

冬天毕竟是冬天，来了暖气还得看暖气片放在了什么位置，也考看暖气供应多长时间，更要看暖气是不是真的如当初许诺的那样"持续健康地"供应，否则，冬天本身不会无故变短，反而愈发觉得难受。除了暖气，如何找到高热量的食物和烹饪高热量食物的方法，亦是现时最为所需

The US economy may plunge into a depression if the $700 billion rescue package fails to revive the ailing banking sector, says Ilian Mihov, INSEAD Professor of Economics. "The Great Depression (this time) is still unlikely but it is not impossible anymore. This is quite sad," Mihov says. The Bush administration proposed the bail-out plan as US financial institutions continued to wilt under the weight of distressed financial assets. In September alone, the Federal Reserve had to rescue America's biggest mortgage lenders Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, as well as insurance giant AIG.

| When companies look for a manager, they should look for experience, right? Well, maybe not. INSEAD Professors Kishore Sengupta and Luk Van Wassenhove say their research has revealed what they call the 'experience trap.'
| Leadership has nothing to do with titles. J. Frank Brown, the Dean of INSEAD, has met a lot of CEOs in his two-and-a-half decades in business and many of them are little more than LINOs - Leaders In Name Only.
| First came the book and now there is an institute in the making. The international bestseller, 'Blue Ocean Strategy' written by INSEAD Professors W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne, sold more than a million copies in its first year of publication and is being published in a record-breaking 39 languages.
| Managers today juggle more responsibilities than ever and for many of them networking becomes an afterthought. Herminia Ibarra, INSEAD Professor of Organisational Behaviour says that's a potentially fatal career mistake. "What you know is who you know."

和我同租在一个房子里面的同班同学Y, 上个周三我们照Section group photo的时候好像就没有看到，周四周五上课看了一眼她的位置，仍然是空的。今天在家房东也突然问我最近见到她没有，开始觉得有点不太对劲了，赶紧电话邮件追查。傍晚收到回信，说刚刚从她的家乡赶回来---远在几千公里之外，她的妈妈刚刚去世了.....
她只用了"my mom passed away", 没有解释更多信息，但是屏幕上短短的两行字却让我深受震动...
在我们这个年龄，正是还能够和父母共享生命时光的黄金时节，我们有机会为他们尽更多的孝道，我们有机会让他们为我们所取得的成绩而欣慰，我们有机会哺育生命的下一代和我们的父辈结成最美好有趣的"老少搭档"让他们尽享天伦之乐。有谁曾想过天有不测的"passed away", 一切的一切都瞬间终止！
安慰我的同学，也不禁在问自己：在珍惜拥有亲人的这些分分秒秒么？
远在异乡，我为我所有的家人祈祷...
已经持在手中的机票，已经不愿再多承受一天的思念煎熬
November 06 Wow! Hard words. But Tao is correct and cogent in most of times. Get ready to a sad period~~

中国经济告急。１０月份ＰＭＩ（采购经理指数）急跌至４４﹒６。这是ＰＭＩ四个月中第三次跌破５０大关（表明经济活动在收缩），而且这已低过ＰＭＩ历史上任何一个低位。如果ＰＭＩ指数一个月内跌６﹒６点颇为震撼的话，其它领先指标跌幅更大－－ＰＭＩ新订单指数急挫９﹒６点，出口订单指数降７﹒４点。生产要素价格暴挫、库存上升、进口大幅回落。中国的ＰＭＩ指数比较波动，但它对经济走势的前瞻性预测，多数时候证明是准确的。
１０月份ＰＭＩ大致表明，中国经济目前可能只有５﹒５％至６﹒５％的增长速度，远远低过过去３０年平均９﹒９％的ＧＤＰ增长。而且，这是在北京奥运因素消除之后取得的。笔者不排除ＰＭＩ在今后几个月出现反弹，但是相信经济显著放缓的大局不会改变。
出口放缓、房地产不景，早在意料之中。大宗消费（如汽车销售、旅行人数）疲弱也算不上新闻。笔者近来在华东、华南地区调查的最新感触是基础设施之外的民间投资似乎一夜间消失了。理论上讲中国与全球金融海啸之间有防火墙，资本管制下中国的银行并未像欧美同行那样遭受「有毒资产」的荼毒，内需不致受太大的直接冲击。但是一天两播的中央电视台的「直击华尔街」捧红了一名主持人，击垮了全国的投资信心。当企业家对经济前景感到不明朗时，推迟投资计划乃条件反射。ＰＭＩ订单指数中，机械、设备指数暴跌相信便是这种投资信心的折射。
内需放缓、出口下滑，已经导致大批农民工失业。这些在中国的城镇失业统计数字中看不到，但是对于消费却有直接的影响，并对社会安定埋下隐患。同时广东、江浙一带企业大量倒闭，银行不良资产已在上升中。至于房地产业所面临的困境，则更是有目共睹的。
如果统计数据不受人为干扰，笔者估计中国经济在今后三个季度的增长率只有６％左右。如果属实，这将是１９９０年以来最低的增速。２００９年下半年的经济前景会有所改善，基础投资和其它扩张性财政、货币政策，应该可以将ＧＤＰ增长重新拉回到８％左右，但是在此基础上进一步加速的机会不大。
前总理朱镕基曾在上世纪９０年代末，大力实施凯恩斯式的财政扩张性政策，使中国经济免于落入亚洲金融危机的陷阱。不过中国经济真正出现强劲增长，还是在住房改革启动之后。民间需求复苏是中国增长重回乐土的前提条件。
中国经济是大陆型经济。出口对经济影响很大，不过没有出口中国还会有十三亿人的衣食需求，中国经济还能存活（这是与亚洲其它国家之间的一个重大差别）。而且目前中国经济的杠杆率不高，过度流动性、连续的信贷额管制，加上比较活跃资本市场，中国企业的借贷比率普遍不高（开发商、中小企业除外）。没有高杠杆，经济便不会出大事。
不过一旦经济进入下行周期，相信银行坏帐可能明显上升，银行可能出现「惜贷」，久违的三角债问题也可能重新浮现，金融环境进一步恶化。同时就业市场疲软、工资下降，带来收入增长的回落（对于农民工可能是绝对收入的减少）。需求不足，势必带来产能过剩。中国明年也许要重新面对通货紧缩。
在应付增长不景和通缩上，北京有大量的政策选择，中国政府在政策上的回旋余地大过任何一个西方政府。笔者相信基础设施建设，是财政扩张政策的主打，铁路建设、政策住房建设、医疗卫生改革、南水北调将成为政府投资的聚焦。增值税改革、出口退税加码和提高个人所得税起征点，能够将更多的资金返还到民间。
至于货币政策，信贷额度将大幅增加，甚至额度本身在２００９年也可能被取消。贷款利率有２４３基点下降的空间，存款利率估计２００９年底会下降１８９基点。存款准备金率预计下调３００基点。人民币在近期由升值转贬值的势头已定，因为这不仅是货币／汇率政策的一部分，更是北京对民众的一个政治信息。笔者认为人民币兑美元在六个月内重新见７。
刺激政策的全面推出，应该可以稳住经济，２００９年全年ＧＤＰ增长估计为７﹒２％，２０１０年回升至８﹒５％。与其它国家相比，中国经济增长已经很好（在全球衰退、金融海啸的大环境下）。不过与自己过往的成绩相比，中国似乎进入了一段缓慢增长期。

Last week's P1 final exam and then days of Paris trip with Au.
P2 began this Monday. Totally different taste compared with P1 but definitely more juicy stuff. More analysis/thinking stuff which pleased me so much. Make more sense for MBA education. P1 just serves as a foundation period. Then all courses suddenly speed up to march deeply and quickly into real business world.
6 weeks of study and then final exam before X'mas. More team assignments, more qualitive case readings and report composing.
The world is becoming much cooler. Need to really think about the design of future roads. Elective courses will just begin from P3 -- then we are just heading into totally different directions by the combination of those courses. Who I want to be? How I want to live? I am thinking and choosing.

Dear Jeff,
This month, we feature a range of interviews and articles from the World Knowledge Forum which has just been held in Seoul, South Korea. The financial crisis was uppermost in the minds of many of the speakers who included James Wolfensohn, former World Bank president, and Sir Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group. INSEAD is the knowledge partner for the conference.
As ever, we welcome your feedback and comments, and hope you'll spread the word about INSEAD Knowledge to your friends and colleagues.

Living with uncertainty
The authorities in the US and Europe have the right policies in place to tackle the financial crisis, but it will take time to restore confidence in the markets, according to speakers at the World Knowledge Forum. James Wolfensohn, who had led the World Bank during the Asian financial crisis in the late 90s, told the forum's 'Live on Wall Street' session that the markets have 'yet to be convinced of the utility of these interventions.'

Rethinking global financial systems
The consensus is loud and clear: in the wake of the worst global financial crisis since the Great Depression, a fundamental rethink of the structure of the global financial markets and greater cooperation of the major regulatory bodies are paramount, said the heads of major financial institutions at the World Knowledge Forum in Seoul.

Can China help power the global economy out of a crisis?
With the credit crisis buffeting global economic growth, China's industrial production and construction declined due to weaker export orders, factory closures for the Beijing Olympics and the sagging property market. However, retail sales growth remained strong, while inflation eased amid falling commodity prices. Nevertheless, Dominic Barton, Asia Pacific chairman of consultancy firm McKinsey & Company, is "very bullish about where China is going to be over the next two to three years."

Creative entrepreneurs can survive the crisis
Creative entrepreneurs can weather the current global economic crisis better than traditional businesses, says Jean-Claude Larreche, INSEAD professor of marketing. Virgin Atlantic, which was founded by British entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson in 1984, survived and came out stronger after the airline crisis of the early 1990s when many established airlines went bankrupt, notes Larreche. Speaking via satellite, Branson (seen left) said a lot of opportunities will emerge as a result of the current global economic slowdown but companies need to be nimble to move quickly and decisively to realise these opportunities.

Sound long-term strategy is key, particularly in a crisis
With the current global economic downturn and dire predictions of a re-run of the Great Depression of the 1930s, the forecast is all doom and gloom.
But Professor Michael Porter of Harvard University, a leading authority on competitive strategy, begs to differ. He believes this time of great economic upheaval to be the tipping point for companies - if only they know how to harness the right strategies.

Gucci: In the business of selling 'dreams'
As many look to cut costs to cope with the worsening economic downturn, you would expect consumer spending patterns to be adversely affected, with the luxury goods segment being one of the hardest hit.
Not so according to Robert Polet, chairman of the Gucci Group. While he agrees that consumer psyche vis-a-vis buying behaviour has taken a hit, he believes that his company is in the business of selling dreams – and you can’t put a price tag on a dream.

The show must go on: Cirque du Soleil’s recession-proof formula
As we brace ourselves for what threatens to be the worst economic slump since the Great Depression, one company seems to be relatively unscathed by the global financial meltdown. According to Daniel Lamarre, president and chief executive officer of performance troupe Cirque du Soleil, whose shows still play to sell-out audiences, he is confident that his company will ride out the recession.

Steering a new course in unchartered waters
With credit getting tighter, companies are going to have to change the way they do business and manage their cash. Laurence Danon, executive board member of Edmond de Rothschild Corporate Finance in France, says we are likely to see companies implementing huge cost-savings plans, probably with significant layoffs and dramatic changes to capital expenditure and development programmes.

As recession fears intensify, is India a safe haven?
"India is not simply setting new standards on trade, investment and economic terms, it's also emerging as a genuinely influential player in many of the big global policy issues that we are all talking about at the moment - climate change and energy sustainability, WTO (World Trade Organisation), and global corporate responsibility; because some of the Indian companies are models in this respect, and - the more interesting - because of their different origin." This is according to Helen Alexander, the new Confederation of British Industry Vice President, and previously Chief Executive of the Economist Group.

The ugly side of innovation: walking a tightrope between creativity and lawlessness
Innovative companies tend to be successful, or – at least – bear the hallmarks of success. But what happens when innovative ideas are used for ill-gotten gains? That is what Mark Stein of Imperial College in London has been researching. His article on the Oedipus Complex and Enron (Oedipus Rex at Enron) chronicles the rise and fall of the former energy trading giant – through misguided leadership.
