Jack Yoest will be giving thanks for the Rotary as he sits down to his Christmas feast. Please bring them something special this year.

Trent just wants folks to leave Wal-Mart alone.

And Big Cajun Man would add: "...lower taxes to all (Canadians), and to all a good night."

Professor Bainbridge says that inside traders may not be such bad little boys and girls, after all.

James Hamilton reviews which of his predictions for this year were naughty and nice.

-- And LOTS of new gadgets, technology, and toys!

StayGoLinks wants all of us to have Non-spacial Internet in our stockings this year.

You may need to get your rankings up on Baidu and not just Google, according to Starling David Hunter, if you want all the good little boys and girls to find you next year.

-- ...and we would like peace on Earth...or at least peace among our employees.

Michael Wade wants you to put a professional introduction into our speakers' stockings this year.

It seems that Wenchypoo might rather have a lump of coal than a year end bonus.

And speaking of lumps of coal, Carmine Coyote warns against the leadership causes of employee burn-out.

Thanks Santa! See you in a week!!

Sincerely,

Your Good Little Capitalists Everywhere

Carnival of the Capitalists Goes Back to College!

massey1.jpg

Before we get into our usual Carnival of the Capitalists rants, we wanted to take a few moments to remember one of the greatest management thinkers and visionaries of all time, Peter Drucker, who passed away this past week.

I was first inspired by Drucker's writings about thirty years ago when I was walking the halls of academia as a young college student. In graduate school, Drucker inspired me to think more seriously about entrepreneurship. He was writing about the importance of entrepreneurship in our economy long before it was cool. In the early 1980s his writings helped me to form my early thinking about entrepreneurship as an academic discipline. In the late 1980s and into the 1990s his teachings often helped us as we first began, and then grew our health care ventures. In the late 1990s, I had the honor of hearing his words in person for the first time after we had sold our business and I had returned to teaching. Throughout every stage of my career, Peter Drucker's words have been there to challenge and inspire me.

His journey is now completed. May God bless you, Professor Drucker.

Phil Gerbyshak Challenges You to Make it Great!

COTC will offer more tributes to Peter Drucker over the next two weeks.
