Eva and Martin and I met at VŠE this afternoon, mainly to discuss the paper that we need to submit tomorrow for the case teaching conference in Brno in July, but also to talk about the chapter and cases for Martin’s entrepreneurship book, and the cases and research projects that Eva and I are doing together. Most things seem to have January 15 or January 31 deadlines, do we’re all scrambling to get things done.
Eva has posted and mailed flyers for my workshop next week, and handouts are being copied. We went to the room where I’ll give the seminars, which is called the “Library Club,” a board-room looking room, complete with built-in computer projection system, white board, flip chart, overhead projector, and VCR/TV that looks like it will hold 20 participants comfortably. So far we expect about 12 – mostly faculty, but also a few doctoral students.
Rick and Aditya met at the Paris Hotel near Aditya’s flat, instead of their planned meeting at the university, partly to experiment with the wireless hotspot connection for Aditya’s computer. He has purchased a phone that will allow internet (Bluetooth) connection from the computer, but it is very slow, much like a dial-up. He is living in an area close to internet cafes and hotspots for downloading and sending big files such as photographs and math papers, but has yet to reach an arrangement sufficiently comfortable for the two months he plans to work here.
