The classes are still very interesting. This morning we had our first Marketing session, followed by a macro-economics case study on Australia the a strategy session on Apple.
There hasn't been a single class where I haven't, a) learned something new, or b) gained a new perspective or new insight into an issue or subject.
As an example in the macro-economics vase on Australia there was much debate over the current account deficit and whether that was good or bad, and regardless of the answer whether it was sustainable (some significant parallels to NZ here).
The discussion then moved to the foreign investment in Australia, in particular the huge amount of Chinese investment and equity ownership in the Australian minerals sector. When you have 4 Australians and 3 Chinese in the class all with various and often opposing views it leads to some very interesting debate.
