Hi Vince,
I was not aware of the "Power Play" book tour. I'll check it out. As to the article with the Baylor professor, I think it's a great idea. I'd like the University Affairs team to get involved. If a visit is required, interviews, etc., they should coordinate. That way, I think we'll have the greatest opportunity to leverage the relationship.

You probably know about it already. ABHAY MEHTA, the author of "Power Play", is on a tour of the United States. Please, take a look at the information about a meeting last Sunday at Stanford University. The web site address is given below. My wife went to the presentation and told me it was quite critical about Enron. About 40 people attended. 2. I was approached by John Martin, a professor of finance at Baylor, to write jointly an academic paper on Enron for a financial journal. He wanted to work on an article on EBS. I have suggested a different topic: Enron - Case Study of a Company Reinventing Itself. I made a few points to John: a. Enron's evolution did not just happen by accident. It was a result of implementation of a far-reaching strategy developed by the management. b. In the process of its evolution Enron changed its environment. I came up with a term "proactive evolution", as opposed to "reactive evolution." c. The strategy included many elements, including emphasis on the quality of human resources, changing corporate attitudes to risk taking and employee empowerment. d. There are very few companies that match Enron's experience and accomplishemnts. The paper could become a standard reading at the MBA courses on corporate strategy and would help greatly our recruiting efforts. Writing the paper would require interviews with Ken, Jeff and a few other key players. Let me know what you thing about it. John is really excited about this paper.
