There are two blog posts, one entitled “if it quacks

New age Management
Having 'just' graduated from the MBA program, I know of a lot of new age management techniques and theories (that made consultants money hands over fist!) that just fell flat on their face and caused industry many growing pains when they tried to implement them, but suffered the results of both implementation (remember, most people resist change!) and the results of the failure of the theory (because

Added a Japanese Grammar Reference! Unfortunately I was not able to continue with my studies of the Japanese language this semester, but my hard work over the summer to compile a reference of Japanese Grammar should not go to waster. It will be useful later on when I can continue JapaneseThis is by no means a completed document, but I hope it's useful for students of Japanese out there on the Internet!
