Noah Gottlieb commented on the post, Q&A: Final thoughts (100 second reflection on the course), on the site 6 years, 3 months ago
-In this class I learned how what I’ve learned in other classes, such as ethics and technologies such as ERP, can be applied in a supply chain context. This was helpful to learn how to apply what I’ve learned outside of what was initially taught.

Noah Gottlieb commented on the post, 8 years, $1 Bn ERP System – Worth It?, on the site 6 years, 3 months ago
ERP implementations take such long periods of time and cost so much because of their scope relative to business processes, applications, and data.

This…[Read more]

Noah Gottlieb commented on the post, Q&A: Can I/T Help with Ethics / Green in Supply Chains, on the site 6 years, 4 months ago

Noah Gottlieb commented on the post, Amazon delivery and Ethics, on the site 6 years, 4 months ago
Amazon can handle this PR problem by developing guidelines for their last mile shippers to follow that mandate that they pay their contractors at least minimum wage and develop systems to help contractors cover costs.

Noah Gottlieb commented on the post, CIO Perspective, on the site 6 years, 4 months ago
-I think that, while Melanie seems like a talented individual, I wonder why she is saddled with so much responsibility. I think it is especially strange that Dow is putting cybersecurity concerns under the CIO and not the CISO.
-I really like how she called out people using “digital” as an all-encompassing suitcase term and said she is foc…[Read more]

I think what Amazon is doing with drone delivery is a great innovation that has a multitude of benefits. First of which is the speed and convenience of delivery. I think a customer segment that will derive the most value from this are parents who are already spread too thin and looking for ways to multitask efficiently as well as deal with the…[Read more]

Noah Gottlieb commented on the post, Amazon: Go – What do you think?, on the site 6 years, 5 months ago
I would feel relatively comfortable shopping in a store like this. It doesn’t seem that Amazon is collecting any personal information about me outside of what I provide for routine online purchases (name, credit card information, etc). I would actually prefer this method of shopping because it eliminates that amount of time I spend standing in…[Read more]
