Of course. But can you spareme a second?
It's the message you sent me about the delivery delay of thecontrol desks. What's gonewrong?
W:
Everything, John. We have toget the steel sheets we need for these desks from newsuppliers. Well, the suppliers have got some troubleor other. They say they will be a bit latewith the delivery.

But they can't be. Those controldesks are a special order. They are wanted for one ofthe big computercompanies. It's a very important contract.
W:
When did we promise thedelivery?

On Thursday next week. Andthere's a penalty clause. We stand to lose 10 percent ofour price for eachweek of overdue delivery.

Oh, these penalty clauses!

We have to accept them;otherwise, we don't get the contracts.

Well, let's get on to theBuying Department. I only heard about the delay yesterdaybecause we kept theproduction line clear to handle these special sheets. It's a dreadfulnuisance.

It will be more than anuisance if we don't meet on delivery date. It will cost us a lot ofmoney.

Keep calm, John. We canperhaps claim compensation from the steel suppliers forfailure to deliver ontime. Then we will offset the penalty clause.

Conversation Two
M:
Kathy, chaos theory seems tobe a branch of physics or mathematics. You are aneconomist, so how does itinfluence your work?
W:
Well, in several ways. I amresponsible for financial development programs in many partsof the world, soforecasting long range trends and making predictions on the basis ofpresentevidence is what I do. Chaos theory was developed by scientists, trying toexplain themovement of the planets and the changes in environmentalconditions. Both of these thingsare also about making long-term predictions onthe basis of present evidence.
M:
Are many economists involvedin this field?
W:
An increasing number. In the1990s, many economists began to look at chaos theory asa way of providingmodels for forecasting.
M:
What kind of"models" are we talking about here?
W:
Well, that's a good question,because the basic idea of chaos theory is that there aren'tany"models" as such—there aren't guaranteed forms, but rather patternsof change indevelopment.
M:
Doesn't that mean thatforecasting is impossible?
W:
No, but it certainly makes itmore of a challenge.]Mandelbrot, who didthe experimentwith stock exchanges prices, for example, noted that althoughthe outcomes were variable,there were in fact certain constancy. What we haveto do is make sure we know what theseare and take into account all thepossible variables.
M:
But do economics and financework in the same way as weather conditions or themovement of planets?
W:
Well, no, of course not. Thereare certain underlying similarities. Butwe have to leavethem for the other time.

Passage One
People write to ask me if there'scorrelationbetween academic intelligence and emotionalintelligence. My answeris no. You can have a high IQand a high EQ, which, of course, is awinningcombination, or be high in one and low in the other. The best study was done atBellLabs in New Jersey, a very high IQ place. They do research intodevelopment for thecommunications industry. In a division of electronicengineers, who were designing equipment soadvanced that they work in teams ofup to 150, co-workers and managers were asked tonominate the standouts thestars in productivity and effectiveness. They came up with 10 or15 names, andthat group of stars was compared with everyone else. It turned out there wasnodifference in IQ, no difference in academic qualifications, no difference inyears on the job.The only difference was emotional intelligence. The starswere people who knew how to getalong, who knew how to motivate themselves,usually the kind of people you like to hang outwith. When these people ran upagainst a technical problem, to which they'd have to turn tosomeone else foran answer, they'd e-mail and get an answer right away, because they built upanetwork of people before they needed them. The other people would e-mail andwait up to twoweeks for an answer. So you can see how being good in theinterpersonal realm actually was adirect benefit, even for effectivelypursuing a technical task.

Passage Three
Disaster movies often portraycatastrophes that destroy, or at least threaten to destroyearth's entirepopulation. In fact, a virus emerged in the 1970s that could've been just thatfatal.Named after a river that passes through the Congo, the Ebola virusoriginally manifested itself inthe interior of Africa in 1976. Two strains ofthe disease, with almost identical symptoms,affected humans—Ebola-Zaire andEbola-Sudan. The Sudan version was deadly enough, killing50% of those itinfected. However, Zaire, with its 90% mortality rate, was even worse.Theorigins, though not the cause of Ebola-Sudan, can be traced back to a singleindividual in aSudanese town. Ebola-Zaire seemed to erupt in over 50 villagessimultaneously. Both strainsquickly invaded local hospitals when needlesharing and other unhealthy practices ensured therapid spreading of theinfection by bringing people into contact with contaminated body fluids.If thevirus had been capable of spreading through the air, or if one infected personhadunknowingly entered a large population center, Ebola might have become aworldwideepidemic. However, soon after these fierce outbreaks, the virus diedout, at least temporarily.Ebola was so deadly and killed so quickly thatwithin a short period of time, there was no onearound to infect.
