...There are three major factors to consider when strategizing for global growth in the spring semester course market," CSMG's founding partner, Benedict Arnold '97, explained to me as he unfolded several 20 by 24-inch bar graphs onto an easel in my bedroom for a colorful client presentation. "Costs, customers and competitors. This seminar on early Hebrew literature might look interesting, for example, but when we perform a cost-benefit analysis, we see that the amount of boredom actually increases as the course progresses, while your projected grade decreases. The course's consumer base is suspiciously small, so before...
Instead, Arnold offered me a carefully tailored package of options designed to maximize both my grades and my personal global growth: Economics 985k, "Research in Financial Markets," Economics 2423, "Asset Pricing," Economics 2535, "Advanced Topics in International Finance" and Economics 1030, "Delay of Gratification." "But I'm a literature student," I objected. Arnold chortled. (Consumer studies have shown clients prefer consultants who chortle.) "That's just the sort of narrow-minded thinking that can sink a perfectly stable company," he said. "When everyone else is expanding into new markets, do you want to be left behind...
Case 2: Another top-level assignment in which a consulting company could determine my strategy for growth was in my morning routine. Each morning, I am faced with a crucial decision: make the bed, or leave it messy? Fortunately, Monitor Lizard Corp., from whom I had purveyed several cool desk toys at the Career Fair, was here to help...
...globally competitive client, I did not appreciate this consultation. Of course, The Harvard College Guide to Consulting had warned me: "As you can imagine, clients don't always want to hear what consultants have to say." I informed Pilate his strategy was inhibiting my global growth. Pilate chortled again and made several more rude comments concerning my personal appearance. After consulting with a rival consultant from the same company, I decided to terminate the client-consultant relationship. Pilate, glad to wash his hands of it, went downstairs to consult my neighbor on Mesopotamian divorce contracts...
Although a fetus may look different from a human adult, so do newborn infants, toddlers, adolescents and the elderly. Human growth and development occur along a continuum, not in fully distinct and separate stages. Because there is no significant developmental change in the fetus from one day to the next, any point chosen for the termination of its life is necessarily arbitrary. Such scientific facts indicate that a fetus is entitled to the same Constitutional protection afforded to a newborn infant, from whom the fetus is separated in age by less than nine months of development...
