I strongly suggest that you read it.
Dear Tapio:
(2) This is an excellent paper — my wholehearted congratulations!!
I read it through with great interest.
Dear Harold:
(3) You may also be interested in reading it in relation with the
Entrepreneurship Course at your Polytechnic Institute which you once told me
before.
Carl indicated his idea of having an academic tie between your Polytechnic
Institute of NYU and the Hypermedia Laboratory of TapioÕs University of Tampere

You may consider to have a similar connection between your Polytechnic
Institute and TapioÕs Research Centre for Vocational and Professional Education
— as you may know, he is chairing both of the followings;
(a) UNESCO/UNITWIN
Chair for global e-learning,
(b) UNESCO/UNEVOC for vocational training.
And, you may also know that Finland (including TapioÕs) has the world #1
rankings on education, vocational training and innovation by DAVOS, UNESCO,
OECD, etc., etc.
Best, Tak
