Excerpt from Bloomberg View -- "If you look at all of digital marketing, Facebook and Google accounted for 103% of the growth. Now what does that mean? It means that if you aren't Facebook or Google, and you're in digital marketing, officially, the industry is in structural decline."

But besides that there are much more businessey aspects of your job.'"

Excerpt from The Wall Street Journal -- "So why don’t the high profits attract competitors to build new companies—or expand existing companies into new lines of business—for less than the cost of buying stock in existing companies? The problem is longstanding, according to research by Germán Gutiérrez and Thomas Philippon at New York’s Stern School of Business. They show that the previous link between valuation and corporate investment weakened from the early 2000s, and as a result corporates have invested about 10% less than they otherwise would have done."

Excerpt from Connected Futures Magazine -- "'The mistake is to hire a bunch of nerds and hope that good things happen,' said Vasant Dhar, a professor of information systems at New York University’s Stern School of Business.
