This photo doesn’t really have anything at all to do with this post. It’s just a cool photo. It is also an interesting marketing research tool currently being used by Google. You can read about it here. Credit for this photo goes to Google (and their blog).

I know it’s been over a week since I’ve made an entry. This is largely due to my workload. There are only four short weeks left until we graduate. Only four weeks. I have so much to do! I have, however, been involved in some interesting research. I would like to share some of it with you in my next entry. Classic theory, but interesting. One of the things I have been looking for is information on ways to evaluate and measure tasks involved in knowledge-based firms. Once interesting mathematical evaluation is as follows:
Profit per Professional = (Profit/Revenue) X [Revenue/(Number of Employees + Freelancers)] X [(Number of Employees + Freelancers)/Number of Professionals]

This is the Formula for Computing Leverage Effect. (Sveiby 1997)

Has anyone used this?
Thoughts?
