Products Change, but Good Service Rarely Does

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

I recently reviewed the research work by Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry on the Conceptual Model of Service Quality.

This past few weeks has been an exciting blur. I recently had the opportunity to participate in the Utah Student 25 Event, where David Kasteler and I placed in Utah’s top 3 student entrepreneurs. Third place isn’t bad for a true social venture to place in a competition like this.

Monday, January 12th, 2009

Here’s a brief link to an article about John Keller and social entrepreneurship in Utah written up by Utah Ceo Magazine.

L.A. Walk-About

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

I spent the weekend in L.A. working to develop relationships with USC, UCLA and a number of non-academic book related publishers and programs. Although I’ve been to L.A. a number of times, this is the first time that I had the chance to spend time with the L.A. local scene.
