2006/2007 I started to blogg about my vision to build a city called Google Downtown.
2008 500 people laughed when I asked if Google could build a city? Then was in the audience at Sime Helsinki.
2009 I met Google’s Global CEO, Eric Schmidt he did not laugh. Eric, is a brilliant thinker.

Legendary Professor Evert Gummesson is in his new book, reinventing case study research:

Setting out to dispel the argument that case study research lacks the science, theory, and therefore validity of other forms of research, Evert Gummesson combines many decades of experience as both a renowned scholar and a reflective practitioner to effectively bridge the divide between case theory and how it is applied in practice.
