A great first day with the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School Global Immersion Course I am leading here in Sao Paulo. After nine hours of coursework in Baltimore, we are now engaging Brazil with the goal of learning how to adapt to local market conditions to succeed in this increasingly important market. Our day began with a lecture I gave on cultural awareness. We received a wonderful presentation by Brian Brisson, Senor Commercial Officer for Brazil from the U.S. Consulate and then toured BOVESPA, Latin America's largest exchange.
A Tale of Two Cities
London and Brussels need a win-win focus

The battle between London and Brussels is a lose-lose proposition that benefits neither capital. The EU – we win, you lose approach toward the London financial center is boomeranging. Europe has repeatedly stiff-armed the UK’s interests. They should not be surprised that in their hour of need, the UK turns the table with a similar we win, you lose approach. Both would have been better if they had ardently embraced a win-win approach from the beginning.

It is good to see the top CEOs of the Netherlands speaking out on the Eurozone crisis, “one minute before midnight,” as their open letter in the Dutch newspaper Financieele Dagblad put it. Their companies -- Shell, Unilever, Philips, DSM, and Akzo Nobel -- and their home country have already greatly suffered from the crisis, and so it is in their and their fellow citizens’ shared interest that that firm political action be taken to resolve it quickly. These top executives’ civic engagement should be applauded, and their advice heeded.
