Statutory Warning: This post was composed in an 8:30 class, after having drunk all night and sleeping for like 2 hours. So if you don't value your sanity, continue reading.
WHAT A CLASS!! This is going to be fun. Sample the questions on the slides being displayed in the class right now -
What is a supply chain? (Why are u asking us this question after like 8 classes of SCM?)
What is a decision?? (Are we really supposed to answer that? This is an MBA Class right?)
What are decisions in supply chain??? (Ummmm... Well, is the answer "decisions we make in the supply chain"? :P)
Please note that the number of question marks at the end of each question follow an arithmetic progression. Well, this is not exactly what the Prof. had put up in his slides. I had to make a decision in Supply Chain Management (Class). I had the choice between using what Sir had (i.e. 3 Q marks at the end of the 2nd Q), or using this AP pattern. I like the patterns. And I am allowed to make assumptions. I fact, during my internship, I became so comfortable with making assumptions that it now comes naturally to me. So I assumed that the Prof. wanted to convey the increase in his excitement as he went down the value chain, oops, down the slides.
Why am I striving to achieve this symmetry, this pattern? Because I'm blurring the patterns elsewhere. Or maybe I'm perfecting this pattern of self-destruction. I have this knack of getting inextricably (and inexplicably? :P) involved in complex situations; maybe I don't like a life devoid of complications! Anyways, too bored to continue any more. And I guess you're too crazed out to read on. I think I've successfully shown you how to implement the concept of laddering - jumping from one thought to another. What a respectable name for a random thought process. Hope u enjoy using it and making some more people crazy!
