Welcome to the "official" blog of the fall term HOSP 4060 class. The purpose of the blog is to get you to begin thinking critically about the events around us and how strategic management can relate to them. Your participation is optional yet encouraged. Three well-written blog postings over the course of the term will substitute for the final individual paper. You can only post to the current blog for each week. Postings to previous weeks are not counted. Remember, what you post here could be shown to the class during our weekly discussions, therefore don't write anything you wouldn't want others to see.

Let's begin:

I'm curious to know which of the 3 current happenings is most important to you:

1. The war in Iraq
2. The threat of nuclear weapons in North Korea and Iran, or
3. The rising price of gasoline

Explain why you feel the way you do.

I'm looking forward to your responses.
