Heard in class and faithfully reported:
- "When you go to China, always assume that the Chinese are out there to get you. Nothing personal, they want to screw everybody" - Strategy for Asia Pacific Professor

- "Italy has the lowest mobility rate in Europe with 0.6%" - Professor in Macro Economics
-"that's because when you move, you have to take la mama and all the kitchen props with you!" - Italian student

In our IT Management class - about IT Investment Decisions:
Student showing two pictures of two beautiful Asian women on the screen:
-"do you find them attractive?"
(everyone says yes)
-"which one do you prefer?"
(everyone indicates their preferences)
-"well, indeed she is beautiful and HE is handsome. Bottom line: when you make IT investment decision, take your TIME. Don't jump to conclusions"
