It might mean the opposite. GAAP rulea may dictate they book the revenue over the life of the OS to better match liabilities in the form of updates. MSFT want to book all the revenue now as an "economic reality". It sounds like t

It might have to do with response rates. If you feel response rates to your experiment are going to be low for a certain group, you make the group bigger so you can have a more robust sample in which to characterize respondents of that grou

A point-of-view from the essay is the author dislikes employees who can't think critically. The big issue I have with the piece is that poor critical thinking skills isn't an issue with only MBAs. Every field and every degree ha

My own view differs from the "benefits management platform" thinking. I don't think they want to do insurance or retirement benefits. I think they want you to use their productivity tools more frequently. To me this is all a

Said in another way, capital is fungible but labor is not. This means capital can flow readily to the lowest cost suppliers and workers but workers cannot flow readily to higher paying employers. This leads to a mismatch where, temporarily,

I believe you've just described debt collection. The collections agency starts offering you to settle your debt at the highest possible amount and slowly negotiates down. For any amount above $0 they receive from you is a marginal ben

How's Google's Biz Dev? Selling B2B is a whole new ball game for Google (outside of Adwords which is a special case since it is so valuable to advertisers). I'd be very wary as a purchaser of this chip on how long Google et.
