Christie, a couple of comments on the 3rd paragraph on page 11. It is up to
you to decide if it is worth correcting. I didn't know if you had a chance
to make the writing better or simply correct mistakes.

1. Page 11: I was president of Houston Pipe Line and Louisiana Resources
Company. The term, "Enron pipeline subsidiary" isn't real or correct. You
could also restate with, head of Enron's non-regulated pipelines, head of two
pipelines, head of an Enron pipeline subsidiary ; something like that.
2. Page 11: On the 5th sentence, it is mixing a couple of thoughts. I
would like to add something like, (after officer,) and establishing a unified
vision,
3. Page 11: typo. There needs to be an "an" in the last sentence before
the word extension.

Thanks,
mike

Subject: Harvard Business School--Enron case study--'Final' draft

Friends,

Attached is the "Final" draft of the Harvard Business School case study
prepared by Harvard Professor Chris Bartlett and his research assistant Meg
Wozny. [please scroll down to the end of the next message for the attachment]
. The content was developed from interviews with most of you.

Please review the case and let me know of any desired
edits/corrections/comments as soon as possible. [One obvious correction is
the spelling of Cindy Olson's last name].

We'd like to "sign off" on this within the next 2 or 3 days. Harvard
professors are excited about teaching this case this coming semester. In
fact, Professor Don Sull will be focusing largely on this Enron Case this
semester, culminating in "Enron Day" at Harvard Business School April 26th,
featuring Jeff Skilling. Also, Chris and Meg will be in Houston this
Thursday, Jan. 11th, 'capping off' their work with video interviews with Ken,
Jeff and Louise, which will help "bring the case to life" for the students
studying it.

Please forward any edits/corrections/comments to me via E-Mail or via hard
copy (please deliver to EB 4710, or call me [3-6117] and we'll have it picked
up).

Thanks to everyone for all your contributions to this exciting work!

--Christie.

Christie:
Congratulations! I don't know how you manage to work full-time at Enron
and study for a PhD at the same time. Sounds superhuman to me!

The FedEx was marked for Saturday delivery, but in case you haven't
received it yet, I'm enclosing the draft as an attachment.
It would be great if we could get Enron's approval during our visit. (I
know professors at HBS are interested in teaching that case as soon as it's
available.)

Thanks for all your help, and let me know if you have any questions,
comments, etc.
Best,
Meg
