While teaching graduate seminars on advertising and marketing, I began
by telling my students that the course is like the business world. Do
what you're told; you will get a B. Do less; you will get a C or lower
grade depending on how much less. Want an A? I'm the CEO. Impress me.
Thus begins a littlel sermon on how the business world is changing
from a place that needs thousands of white-collar drones to a place
where people don't make big bucks (or even a comfortable middle-class
living) unless they notice something others haven't, think creatively
about it, and, then, take the risk of actually doing something with
the ideas they come up with. (Andreas is bullying Brian, but what he
says about Silicon Valley rings absolutely true with me.)
