Welcome to my rebooted newsletter. Having experienced hand-coded blogging, TypePad, Wordpress and Mailchimp, as of June 2022 I have moved on to Substack.

By day I’m business and public policy faculty at the Haas School of Business at UC-Berkeley, where I teach undergrads and grad students. I also run a consulting firm mainly focused on infrastructure firms. Prior to that I worked at a location technology startup, where I handed business development, standards, government affairs and PR. Prior to that, I worked in media (print, online, TV, cable). Back in the pre-iMode, pre-broadband world, I spent about 5 years living in Japan, working in print and TV.

In this newsletter will mainly be covering themes related to my instruction:

  • Strategy for the Networked Economy

  • Clusters: Locations, Ecosystems and Opportunity

  • Business in Japan

  • Competitive Strategy

I hope you enjoy and look forward to your feedback.
