The KODAK DC240 and a Monster Roadtrip

Nathan, Alissa, and Michael

Michael Marriner, Nathan Gebhard, and Alissa Andress are business students with a passion for management and a desire to create their own company. They are anxious to learn more about what makes great companies great. And they have some specific ideas about how to find out. They took their ideas on the road, where they will spend nearly three months traveling from company to company on a quest for knowledge.

The Mission
As the roadtrip team puts it, the mission is to, "... search for the ideal company, while looking for the management traits not taught in business school. We want to share this knowledge with anyone interested in self-education. More importantly, we want to elicit their involvement as we attempt to better prepare the next generation of managers for the new economy."

Home away from home

The Set-Up
Outfitted with a motorhome, maps, laptops, a KODAK DC240 Zoom Digital Camera, and the energy of the adventurous, they are traveling from city to city and company to company throughout the summer of '99. Along the way they are reporting progress and findings on their website at Monster.com. Using chat rooms and bulletin boards, they are soliciting input from their virtual travel partners -- the visitors to their website.

The Role of the DC240
Michael, Nathan, and Alissa are chronicling their experience in pictures as well as words. All the pictures on their website are digital, taken with the DC240. The key advantages delivered by the DC240 in this case are:

• Compact and durable, worry-free operation
• Easy to use, productive right away
• Zoom lens for compositional flexibility
• 1.3 Megapixel resolution - allows for cropping while maintaining high quality
