What we are reading.....
If you had Professor Gough for Strategic Management you know that his reading list is long but definitely time well spent. This year, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable, was added to the list. Glenn Klink, Executive MBA '09 noted "It's a phenomenal book; it really challenges you to think in a non-traditional manner". The premise of the book is that the world is not predictable; events, discoveries or people can have significant impacts that are impossible to forecast.
