PM, I thank you for the comments. However, perhaps I did not make clear why I talk about business stuff with some relative expertise...
Now, there are many people with Fortune 50 executive experience on a global basis who have also consulted with some big companies. And, of course, there are many with a doctorate degree in business, a few of whom teach at a Top level B-School. Well, I am all of them and a bag of chips.
Sorry, you got in my kitchen!
