<DIV>Hi All,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In entreprenuership, there are corridors and a window of opportunity. A successful entreprenuer has to be in the corridor so that when the window opens, he is right at it. The situation was already was present and MJ saw the window open and there he exited. The lesson here is that we need to develop some instinct to tell us the window is open. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Companies big and small can be a success story and i take encouragement from this case study of Safaricom. I can guarantee you that many papers have been written about Safaricom and i want to believe that soon instead of having Kentucky Chicken as a case study in Strategy books, Safaricom will take up the slot.</DIV></DIV>

<DIV><BR>Hi Listers <BR><BR>Many thanks for the exciting and very candid contribution - straight from<BR>the heart. It came out clearly that there is something in MJ's character<BR>that produces the results we see. Mj was '---smart enough to take<BR>advantage of the situation during his tenure-- ' . Did MJ create the<BR>situation or just took advantage? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><BR>Lets reflect on the lessons of his early years in the ict industry. The<BR>company was small and indeed an underdog - today this is no more <BR><BR>There were and still are many companies that were in same position. Some<BR>have gone under while others are struggling <BR><BR>What lessons do the MJ actions teach such companies ?<BR><BR>Can the lessons from MJ replicated to other industries? <BR><BR><BR><BR>cheers <BR><BR>Muriuki Mureithi <BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>kictanet mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke" ymailto="mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke">kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke</A><BR>http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet<BR><BR>This message was sent to: <A href="mailto:saguyo@yahoo.com" ymailto="mailto:saguyo@yahoo.com">saguyo@yahoo.com</A><BR>Unsubscribe or change your options at
