Intellectual Property
Innovation – Standardization – Commoditization run along a continuum. Today we unpack some of the ideas that hasten (and prohibit) leading practice discovery; how quickly goods and services become a “human right”; why all of this is relevant to education communities and why some believe that commoditization is a myth.
From the Wikipedia
In business literature, commoditization is defined as the process by which goods that have economic value and are distinguishable in terms of attributes (uniqueness or brand) end up becoming simple commodities in the eyes of the market or consumers. It is the movement of a market from differentiated to undifferentiated price competition and from monopolistic competition to perfect competition. Hence, the key effect of commoditization is that the pricing power of the manufacturer or brand owner is weakened: when products become more similar from a buyer’s point of view, they will tend to buy the cheapest.

Disaster 500
Today at 11 AM/ET we review the literature that sets the standard of care for prevention, response and resilience of the education facility industry to storms, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes and all other disasters. We will examine a selection of court filings that should inform how facility managers should prepare and respond to disasters, but also identify gaps in best practice literature and (possibly) key in proposals for how those gaps may be removed.
