Even now, I see a lot of parents/kids on weekends browsing/shopping in old style bookstores! There is a definite need. Good to see the offline stores coming back!

thunga | 10 years ago | on: Why are working class kids less likely to get elite jobs? They study too hard

This story was more revealing to me on another aspect. Why don't working class kids grow quickly in a fast growing company than a elite class kid? even though the working class kid probably knows more from a depth perspective.

Strategy should be seen as broad guidelines that help middle management make effective decisions. It is supposed to be a means to reduce communication & decision making overhead. This in turn is supposed to make the large teams more focused & effective.

Strategy is a process to reach the target & not a target/goal in itself. Unfortunately, many senior executives think that strategy is all about the end goal & end up creating wrong strategies. Mostly, the middle management will hear these end goal strategies & have no idea about its usefulness. This defeats the purpose & the middle management ends up wasting more time in meetings & wasting more time instead of being more focused.
