There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Dan Breznitz, Associate Professor of International Affairs, and Michael Murphree, a PhD student in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, argue in their new book "Run of the Red Queen" that it is wrong to equate innovation solely with the invention of breakthrough products. In China's emerging economy, other forms of innovation can yield bigger dividends. One is “process innovation”: the relentless improvement of factories and distribution systems. Another is “product innovation”: the adaptation of existing goods to China’s unique requirements. Source: The Economist - May 5, 2011
