7-10-2007 Computer Lab @BI
So today, weather wise, turned out to be very nice, like I had hoped.
Today's lecture was more of a wrap up. Sangeeta noticed that we had a lot of questions still, and we were able to have them answered at todays session. We also had an impromptu guest speaker talk to us about Norwegian Innovation with a flat business structure instead of a hierarchy structure and whether that impedes the innovation and entrupenureship of Norway or not. He is a professor here at BI and teaches subjects just like those we had questions about, so Feiter litterally pulled him out from the hall way into the classroom, talk about on-the-spot.
We then went off to the Nobel Institute near the National Theatret. It is where the Nobel Peace Price committee is held, as well as where they announce it, have the ceremony yadda yadda. It is a very nice (but small) building, very non-descrete, similar to most Norwegian things. There we had a presentation from a women I am pretty sure had a mild stroke earlier in her life, but she did a great job regardless. The presentation she gave was the history and the process of the Nobel Peace Prize, as well as some back-ground on Nobel himself. I found out he was originally from Sweden, but when Sweden and Norway were unionized. (he was the inventor of dynamite btw)
Outsideof the Nobel Institute
Me in the conference room with all the pictures of the Peace Prize winners.
After I had to go back for a group project meeting (which was kind of superflous, but enough about that) then headed to the computer lab again to update this thing and to check my email.
