Club has clever method of raising prices

October 18, 2012

The Economic Club of Indiana has the mission of providing a public forum for the discussion of economic issues within the state. The most prominent method of so doing is by means of a luncheon they host approximately once per month at the Indianapolis Convention Center with a guest speaker addressing political, economic, or social matters. The cost of attending a luncheon is $30 for members and $35 for nonmembers. The number of members in the organization is low as there is no great benefit to the membership — which costs $60 — outside of the discounted luncheon tickets.

Emmett Dulaney: The trouble with intellectual property

October 2, 2012

The distinction that exists between employer versus employee property becomes very fuzzy when the item in question is intellectual property (IP). As soon as an employee terminates their relationship with an employer, they can turn over any tangible items they have, but how can an employer collect the knowledge and thoughts for which they’ve paid but that are in the possession of the individual? Cagey job changers can withhold information and use it after they’ve changed employers to better themselves in their new position.
