The best class discussion of the year so far...

Today was good in many ways... Gurcharan Das was sick and his class was postponed and so, just one class today... :) What a class it turned out to be... We had had many good class discussion until now but these had been sporadic... The general quality had been fluctuating in my view... Today, in the infotech course, we were discussing Xuma, a ebusiness company that almost went bust in the days of the dotcom meltdown

The first 15 minutes was a presentation and recommendation by one of the groups about the case... Venkat, who had worked with e-funds in similar roles in the US did a stupendous job of explaining the technology and what Xuma tried and failed... That was followed by a one hour class discussion that I thought was the best I had experienced here... The class shredded the case until every possible opportunity for Xuma was analyzed and discussed... Prof. Banker, let the discussion which was scheduled for 20 minutes, extend to almost an hour... In the end he described it as a dream class for him! cudnt agree more...
