A Price is a Price



Recently I was at a Thai restaurant in San Francisco downtown. Just a couple of friends, in need of something to munch and we raked up a check of $49.00 We did left a tip of approx 10% (little less than 10 to be precise) and decided to walk about for others to enjoy and savor the delicious Thai recipes. Pretty famous place it was and then the next event was not quite as pleasant as the dishes.

Guideline Decisioning


I am as close to the army as Arnold (in real life) is close to being the terminator. Even then, it always fascinated me, so much so that I decided to even watch Tom Cruise starrer Born on 4th of July. I even lost the lack of respect; I so much had previously for American foreign policy.

Anyways, this post is not to talk about the foreign policies but another one of my weird observations and insights gained from watching war based films. May be there is something for businesses to learn about. I am sure a lot many entrepreneurs already do what I am about to propose, else their adaptability to changing and volatile business environment would be in question.

So my post is not proposing a “paradigm” shift in decision making. It is just including some common sense, something humble decision making, about which I read in my B-School, (Disclaimer: No, I am not from Harvard.) tried to do long ago.
