Listening and Learning in Second Life By SL Hak There are some interesting developments being proposed on the Capex forums, this involves Marc Attenborough and others offering their services for a nominal fee in order to familiarize residents with subjects such as finance, marketing and HR. The full forum thread can be read HERE .
Marc Attenborough the Chairman of Innovative Inc. (INC) announced that “ I am considering putting together a series of weekly courses based on various business principals that I believe can be applied in this virtual world. If there is an interest, then I will proceed. I will likely charge a nominal tuition. Please let me know your constructive feedback. Basic Principals of Business: General concepts to consider when starting a business. How to do a S.W.O.T analysis.
* Finance: How companies make money. What are the numbers and what do they mean?
* Investments: How investors make money. Stocks & bond basics.
* Marketing: Understanding Product Life Cycle; and Porter's 5 Forces.
* Human Resources: How do you attract and retain employees? Conflict management. Motivation.” The response on the Capex forums was extremely positive with a number of offers of assistance provided. Lets hope that there are enough students so that this exercise would be worthwhile, and remember Mr Hemingway's quote "I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen.” If you have some hot news then please IM or send an e-mail to Hak on
