INTRODUCTION TO THE BLOG AND BLOGGERS

Hello Friends,

Ever wondered how Starbucks keeps all you coffee addicts coming back to their store? What caused the great economic meltdown of 2008? How does Walmart manage its supply chain? Why do currencies fluctuate? What exactly CNBC channel tries to tell or sell by showing galaxy of numbers rolling endlessly on their screens? Or a very simple thing like why is the food court in a mall always located at one corner, away from the glamour showrooms of Louis Vuitton or Zarra?

Well, we bet such questions do come to your mind. However the information you seek is either very much scattered on the internet or simply non-existent.
