Friday Rant: China -- Making, Taking and Stealing

Friday Rant: China — Making, Taking and Stealing

By Jason Busch on November 12, 2010

As a college student, I remember a rather depressing sign that I think was in Trenton, New Jersey at the transfer stop for New Jersey Transit and Septa (the combination of these two regional train providers is between 60-90% cheap…

Why Chuck needs to get the chop

Why Chuck needs to get the chop

By Phil Fersht on August 17, 2010

Senator Charles E. Schumer, not content with ludicrous attempts to tax the US consumer for taking an offshore call, has continued his personal tirade against the use of offshore services, by pushing through legislation to add a further $2,000 tax for an H-1B visa application, and $2,250 more for an L-1 visa application.

Immigration policy and the future of work

Immigration policy and the future of work

By Vinnie Mirchandani on August 2, 2010

It is tough to ignore immigration talk given all the noise coming out of Arizona and Washington. But I have been thinking even more about it, with a recent trip to Ireland and the GigaOm event last week on the “future of work”. I wrote earlier about my observations about how internationally mobile my wife’s […]

Will the US Punt on China Currency Manipulation?

Will the US Punt on China Currency Manipulation?

By Jason Busch on April 8, 2010

The US faces a number of foreign policy concerns at present, including several that could develop into significant crisis situations (think Bay of Pigs, for those who are versed in 20th century diplomatic/military history). One is the situation in Iran, which thus far, President Obama has chosen to largely ignore, pursuing a light wrist-tapping diplomatic […]

Innovation Far from Silicon Valley

Innovation Far from Silicon Valley

By Vinnie Mirchandani on April 6, 2010

My upcoming book, The New Polymath due in June, has case studies on Kleiner Perkins, salesforce.com, Plantronics and plenty of discussions of Google, Apple and other Valley innovators. But it also showcases plenty of innovation in places in the rest of the globe. Here are a few of the many examples across the book (and […]

Cloud-Based BPM Vendors: Geography Matters

Cloud-Based BPM Vendors: Geography Matters

By Sandy Kemsley on February 18, 2010

Image via Wikipedia I’ve spoken with a lot of cloud-based BPM vendors over the past few years, and I inevitably ask where their services are hosted. Since almost all of these are American companies, or are primarily targeting the American market, the answer is, almost inevitably, in the United States. I continue to point out […]

Conference Spending Matters: Chicago Gets Dumped as a Convention City of Choice

Conference Spending Matters: Chicago Gets Dumped as a Convention City of Choice

By Jason Busch on December 16, 2009

If I were to practice what I preach here on Spend Matters, I should
have probably packed up my bags and left Chicago — not to mention
Illinois — a long time ago. After all, this is the epicenter of
middle-corrupt-spending-America, a place …
