Since the Stanford ME 314 Good Products, Bad Products course is now over, I will leave the topic. Should any of you reading this blog be teaching a similar course, or if you would like to do so, contact Dave Beach ([email protected]), and he will be glad to send you information or conspire with you.
I am scheduled to give a few talks on my book, as part of the routine of bringing it to people’s attention. Dave and I did a “conversation” on the topics contained in the book to a couple of hundred people on the Stanford campus last week, and it was fun. The format called for Dave to ask me questions, and for me to answer them as best as I could. I actually had the easier role, because I had the option of muttering a few words and then saying “what do you think, Dave?”.
I thought it might be of interest to discuss a few of the questions and answers (?) with you. The questions are here. Look through them and think about how you might answer them. I thought that beginning with the next post, I would give you my personal, perhaps biased opinion on some of them. But just so you know that the U.S. is not alone in worrying about such questions, here is an interesting article on Japanese concerns about the topic of manufacturing that was on the front page of the April 16 edition of the New York Times.
