要嘛你當林志玲,要嘛你當呂燕:要當國際級的模特兒,一條路是長的特別美,另一條路是美的很特別.簡單講,每個學校都會收到數千份的申請,學校為了顧及整個班級的多樣性,會考慮申請者國籍/產業/工作性質的平衡.當你落在某一個群體時(e.g. 印度IT工程師),你必須能跳的出來.若你不是最優秀的人,你就必須在essay上差異化,表現出別人少有的特點.舉的相近的例子:開學不久後,學校發給大家前一屆同學的resume book,看完之後我調整了我resume的展示重點.原因很簡單,在這麼多強者之間,我必須找到我的相對優勢,否則很容易會被其他人的光芒蓋過. 寫essay也是如此:想一想會跟你申請同樣學校的人有多少,他們的profile會是如何,你有的他們是否也有?2.

analysis已經是最簡單的了,但就連比較這家公司的各項財務ratio也挺難的.原因是標竿公司與產業的數字要嗎很接近,不好發揮,要嗎差太遠,無從比較.難的問題則是要你在這疊報表中找出可能的問題,再透過修正數字改變原本的income statement.所以每個小註解都是可能的嫌疑犯.當我考了半小時後,我開始想:到底我過去兩個月在幹嘛?我真的有上課嗎?還是我拿錯了考卷?我翻翻考卷,上面是英文與阿拉伯數字,但我好像在讀阿拉伯文與羅馬數字.經過三個小時的折磨,還是扯了一些鬼東西,結果如何,到時就知.INSEAD的前兩個月收穫很多,在很輕鬆的氣氛下學了許多實用的知識,偶爾同學會像三歲小孩一樣玩起來,但無傷大雅.

以小組為單位,進行為期至少五天的遊戲.我們並不知道對手/夥伴是誰,他們分布於法國,新加坡,費城或舊金山. 第一個遊戲我們是LCD基板供應商,對手則是LCD薄膜供應商.大家決定自各的價格.買家(LCD製造商)只在乎總價,不管各別價格.反正他照個以下公式決定數量後,便向供應商購買同樣數量的元件.數量 = 500,000/(基板價格+薄膜價格)^3基板成本=5, 薄膜成本=2總價太高會嚇跑買家,太低賺不到錢;我們與對手可以ㄧ起把餅做大,一人一半;但若有人想佔別人便宜(無論是純粹想搞別人,或害怕被人搞而搞別人),會導致餅越來越小,就算最後拿到了整塊餅,也食之無味.某種程度,我們亦敵亦友.有趣的是:大家永遠不知道對方是天使或魔鬼.</summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml'
