17 April 2013


17 April

The day began with a very interesting and insightful lecture from David Priilaid. David showed us the first half of a very interesting and insightful video by Michael Porter regarding competitive advantage in Companies, and Counties.  Very important and interesting notes were pointed out by Michael Porter. Such points regarding clustering and the way in which certain clusters contribute to each other based on their own specific strengths. Michael Porter talks of “the Diamond” and the four contributing factors contributing towards competitiveness and in turn, success.  Such points are strategy, structure and rivalry; demand conditions; related and supported industries; and factor conditions.

This class followed with a group meeting regarding the way in which we are going to approach product production and the way in which we are going to start making serious steps towards getting our product out into the market. We set up a meeting to meet with Gabrielle Frazer (our designer and possible producer). The meeting time agreed upon was the coming Sunday, and it will be then that we discuss Gabrielle’s expectations, our expectations and how we can come to an agreement in which we are both happy and satisfied. This is essential as we need to have a healthy working relationship to last in order to produce quality products in the desired time, at the desired price.
