For several reasons, this resource is even more valuable in a blog:

  • It makes the newsletter interactive – we hope you will offer comments on our posts.
  • We post almost every day – making everything that much more current.
  • The blog format makes it easy to find J.I.T. (just in time) examples for your classes.  For example, say are you teaching pricing this week – click on “Price” in categories to the right and you will have a listing of only those blog posts that have something to do with price.

So, please take a look around.  We are kicking this off with more than 80 posts already up.  Let us know what you think?  Do you have ideas about how we might make this resource even more valuable?  Click on the headline above and add your comments (or read those of others).
