Customer Reviews
A Goldmine of Business Knowledge
Thanks to Wharton for providing these excellent summaries of Knowledge@Wharton articles. The writers seem to be very knowledgeable and I LOVE the British accent! While the podcasts is a great way to extend the value of Knowledge@Wharton content, I would love to see some of the videocast from Knowledge@Wharton
Interesting but tends to typical b-school pontificating
These podcasts are well done and informative and take the form of a typical B-school case study type discussion. The "experts" sometimes are not so expert at doing their fact checking though like in the DRM one where the comment is made that Rhapsody is not available on the Mac. Bzz. Wrong. Their choice of topics is more interesting than the Harvard podcast which has many episodes focusing on CEO/Org changes in companies such as Dell.
Exactly what I was looking for
Expert opinions on the market. I listened to the June podcast and he basically predicted this mid-September run in the market. I want useful info. If I want to be entertained I can listen to a comedy podcast. Excellent!
