forbes article, page-9

Interesting read.

Seems like it Is a slanted article however, when you go through the volumes of information on the nest, you can understand some of the sentiment that has driven the articles tone.

Many of the issues brought up seem to have come from old articles, particularly from the SMH which state a lot of things from court cases etc. The roger Williamson association was touched on but still a curiosity to me.

The diligence of contacting various companies seems solid but we really dont know how hardbtheyblooked. For example, if I called SA and asked for a media person and then popped a question to them about UNIS it is very likely that they would have no idea. It's not like a media representative would know many of the higher level things till they are briefed on. Did the call happen, no doubt, you don't accidentally become a Forbes Journo!

Given the secrecy in this industry, I can understand the reply...and it being an honest reply that the person talked to were not aware of anyone working with unis. But that is like me saying I am not aware of anyone working with Schierring Plough at unis. Totally true statement on my part and can be reported as a true statement.

It did however raise so many questions without answers and clearly, the writer wanted to portray a negative feel about unis. This is something that maybe reflects the feeling the writer got when passing the sniff test over the research and nothing more.

Maybe, the interviewer simply just didn't connect with AS. Sometimes charismatic people can have a polarizing reaction to others. I wish the writer would have elaborated on exactly what Ramin wasn't comfortable talking about. If addressed, it may be something very sensitive to the market or prospective clients.

Be interesting to see the impact of this article.

I might suggest, that the contact with the large investors refusing contact was portrayed negatively but maybe it is simply a standard plolicy y such companies. In putting it the way the writer has, it suggest scull dug very to my reading which may not be the case.

It's the old story, if you don't like someone, they are stubborn, if you like them, they are patient. We all live with a subjective view of the world which is something that flows through every posted thread here.

I will stop rambling now.
