Week 6 – Macro

Posted on October 8, 2006 by | Leave a comment

This week we will tackle Chapter 6 which is about inflation and the macroeconomic measures that are used to measure it. I think we will play a game this week, and also cover the material in the chapter. I am posting the presentation in case you are interested.

Remember your paper is due the 13th of October, by agreement, and you should be making real progress now. Also keep in mind that the paper should be written in your best english, with good grammar, spellchecking, and correct use of words. and you may need to spend a bit of time to find out how to cite references, especially ones on the Internet, properly.

Week 6 – Logistics

Posted on October 8, 2006 by | Leave a comment

This week we will spend most of our time on material from Chapter 6, which is a long and I think difficult chapter for you. There are some ideas in there you are not familiar with, and they will take some getting used to. Also we will be working problems both in class and outside.  And there will be a case presentation of the Jackson case this Friday.  all teams must prepare their Powerpoint slide show.
I may start off with a bit more on Chapter 5 material that we did not cover last week. One of the most important is remote sensing techniques (RFID and bar codes, RFDC) that we have not discussed (much). There is an article on wireless in conjunction with port management that you will find useful. It is on WebCT. The other is just a flavor of the difference between conventional EDI and the modern way, XML, which I will show you.

See you this week.
