CMBA 607 | Strategic Marketing I put in my time for my CMBA 607 class, so why am I still harping on it by writing a blog?  Well, I want to make sure the up-and-coming CBU MBA students are prepared for the insanely intense (yet ironically fun) Markstrat Simulation game. I won’t go into the [...]

Kevin – Best Laid Plans

Kevin – Best Laid Plans

Okay, I am the CEO of my organization in this crazy Business Strategy Game and my team has taken it on the chin for the last two weeks!  So what did I do?  I acted as any respectable CEO would, blamed my CMO for having faulty market intelligence, I blamed my CIO for having terrible [...]

Kevin – BSG Week II

Kevin – BSG Week II

The second practice week of the Business Strategy Game (BSG) went pretty well for our team.   We were able to improve upon last week’s (AKA “Year’s”) simulation enough to move us into first place; however, it is VERY competitive.  No bragging here, just thankful to be alive in the competition. Matching intellectual swords with the [...]

Life as an MBA Mommy

Life as an MBA Mommy

That which doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger. This is my mantra since September 2008 when my husband and I were (surprisingly) blessed with a little girl smack dap in the middle of my career building and MBA program. You see, I am an MBA Mommy. I am a professional juggler of work, school, family, [...]
