us—decided to talk things over to see if such a book might work. We decided it could. We hope you agree. ix Levitt had an interview for the Society of Fellows, the venerable intellectual clubhouse at Harvard that pays young scholars to do their own work, for three years, with no commitments. Levitt felt he didn’t stand a chance. For starters, he didn’t consider himself an intellectual. He would be interviewed over dinner by the senior fellows, a collection of world-renowned…

Tragically that has now happened. Why these accidents are happening is something I have pondered on before in this column [V13N2], but the subject is probably worth revisiting. The last time there was a fatality, world rallying was in the grip of Group B, the rules that allowed enormous freedom for constructors. Low production requirements to achieve homologation opened the door for very powerful, fast cars. However, they also proved dangerous and were banned following the…

that could be used in mobile devices. The four members worked in secret until Google acquired the company in August 2005 (Android, 2011). This made Android a fully-owned subsidiary of Google and led to speculation that Google was planning to make its own phone. While Google was quietly buying up phone-related patents, Apple launched the iPhone with AT&T and made history.

Any trick of logic or language which allows a statement or a claim to be passed off as something it is not has an admission card to the enclosure reserved for fallacies. Very often it is the case that what appears to be a supporting argument for a particular contention does not support it at all.

conclusion that takes place year- round and ties performance evaluation and motivational programs to strategy. 1.1.2 Deliberateness of Strategy: Sometimes outsiders impute strategy to the behavior of firms. Obviously, students analyzing case studies are placed in this position when they impute strategy from the data they are able to generate on the firm’s operations. Similarly, journalists and the managers of competing firms may impute strategy to a firm’s behavior; and it…
