But it also said he's been with the company for 30+ years. That would put him in his late 50s or possibly early 60s. Is it actually likely that he'd become CEO one day? I don't think so and that led me to do some research. 

Her appointment was in 2012. Rodney Adkins retired a polite 2 years later. Which to me seems just long enough to transition someone else into his role and not look like he's leaving explicitly because he didn't get into the CEO position. Plus, he served that company well and with distinction. I hope he enjoys his retirement. ]]> 2017-10-29 19:49:25 UTC https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/201528647 roebcp https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/202396405 The article about Steve Jobs mentioned "productive narcissism" and since I hadn't heard of it I looked it up. ]]> 2017-11-01 07:13:02 UTC https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/202396405 roebcp https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/203727431 Facebook at one point had nearly 100 gender options. Splitting sex and gender into two different categories is something that requires practice and intentionality. ]]> 2017-11-06 03:39:56 UTC https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/203727431 roebcp https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/203727643 2017-11-06 03:41:38 UTC https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/203727643 roebcp https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/203727804 Number 3 will shock you! 

3. 41% don't have any retirement savings at all. This is extremely troubling. Where will they go? How will they live and eat? What will their quality of life be? ]]> 2017-11-06 03:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/203727804 roebcp https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/213970715 Perhaps we don't give Jobs the opportunity to be a complicated person. ]]> 2017-12-07 03:09:35 UTC https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/213970715 roebcp https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/213971098 I am a hobbyist Elon Musk follower. He is publicly complicated and that somehow doesn't act as a detractor for his fans. Comparing the two arguably rabid followings of Apple and Tesla is something that is probably worthy of scholastic study. I really wonder how all of this will be recorded in history. ]]> 2017-12-07 03:13:43 UTC https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/213971098 roebcp https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/213971661 I'm looking for diversity articles written by diverse authors. There's insight that is missed when the majority or dominant group handles all the writing.

Thank you for contributing to the conversation.

This is important to know and to start planning for because FSCJ does not offer any post graduate education-- yet. ]]> 2017-12-07 03:25:55 UTC https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/213972839 roebcp https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/213974095 As an American studying in Paris is romantic-- if not for traditional romance than for the idea of romance. Just so happens that there is a program available in English in Paris. ]]> 2017-12-07 03:36:26 UTC https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/213974095 roebcp https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/213974609 One of the challenges of globalization is not only time (Paris is 6 hours ahead of East coast US) but difficulties in communication. Heather discusses some of these in a short, introductory essay on LinkedIn.  ]]> 2017-12-07 03:41:38 UTC https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/213974609 roebcp https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/213982515 The mere art and science of having a simple business locally is full of pros and cons. Those complications and considerations only increase as the span of a company's reach grows. This article reviews pros and cons of globalization in a very brief format. ]]> 2017-12-07 05:15:42 UTC https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/213982515 roebcp https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/213983002 Rick Suttle outlines four options as business strategies. the most interesting to me is price-skimming. I'll investigate that more. I also think it might be the riskiest option. You have to have proof of concept of not only the new item but the demand in the market. Or you have to create a market-- not unlike the iTunes store. ]]> 2017-12-07 05:22:43 UTC https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/213983002 roebcp https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/213984078 On my way to discover more about price skimming I found this. Anything related to undergrad level psychological discussion is fantastic. ]]> 2017-12-07 05:37:52 UTC https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/213984078 roebcp https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/214756945 Being from an oversized small town I'm not really sure I know what a billion dollars really is. If you compute it as salaries it's 25,000 salaries at $40k. It's more than most people will earn in a lifetime. And yet, Toyota owes and can pay billions because of recall issues. 

No conclusion. Just an observation. ]]> 2017-12-10 02:50:54 UTC https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/214756945 roebcp https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/214758383 Reviewing the Toyota recalls reminded me of the VW diesel problem. Much different and I think harder hurdle to overcome. ]]> 2017-12-10 03:24:58 UTC https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/214758383 roebcp https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/214758463 I know they're a young company and I know that America has not created a new car company in some 50 years but Tesla's consistent lateness with delivery is unmatched.

Putting the customer first really seems to be paying off for them. ]]> 2017-12-10 03:35:35 UTC https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/214758701 roebcp https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/214758743 Amazon is currently a behemoth that either you love or you love to hate. Curiously it's relationship to Zappos is very direct. Tony Hsieh sold Zappos for Amazon because of Amazon's long term considerations of their customers. He said, "Amazon knows the value of customers in the long term," Hsieh said. "Most Zappos employees wouldn’t do well in an Amazon environment and vice versa."]]> 2017-12-10 03:37:01 UTC https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/214758743 roebcp https://padlet.com/roebcp/au8ika89p03n/wish/214758824 I love the writing at HBR so I'm glad to see something there on Zappos.
