- The Vancouver Sun wrote an advance story on a Sept. 16 forum from SFU’s David Lam Centre. It quoted SFU Business prof Rosalie Tung as saying that instead of debating and tracking “brain gain or drain”, we need to understand how a new set of executives is bouncing back and forth between here and Asia. “It’s a situation that puts the onus on governments, corporations and organizations in Canada to come up with more enticing environments, Tung argued.” Canwest News Service sent the story to clients across Canada.
- Marketing prof Lindsay Meredith was on the Fanny Kiefer show on Shaw-TV,ripping into the BC government for the way it announced it would implement the Harmonized Sales Tax, and criticizing the impact of HST on restaurants and small business. Meredith also did an interview with a freelancer from Dallas, writing for Women’s Health Magazine on female life-style pill-poppers.
