The idea had always glowed—however faintly—in the back of Steve Oldham’s mind. He jokes about it now, saying that just like every other missionary who returns from Brazil, he came home with dreams of starting his own Brazilian steakhouse.
It may sound like the concept for the next reality TV hit: give twenty-five undergrads nearly $1 million and turn them loose. But this is no TV show; this is a typical day in one Marriott School classroom.
Their remarks are as varied as their backgrounds, but the speakers share one thing: a desire to inspire the next generation of business leaders. Whether working in health care or in headphones, the NAC lecturers gave nearly 250 students a broader understanding of the business world’s day-to-day tasks. Enjoy the following excerpts from the lecture series’ inaugural semester.
Your credit score is a three-digit number with a large impact. Here’s how to keep your number looking smart and how to understand what goes into calculating your score.
There are bird watchers, and there are whale watchers, but I’m a genius watcher. I am fascinated by the intelligence of others. I notice it, study it, and have learned to identify a variety of aptitudes—even without my binoculars.
It may be time to reset your browser’s toolbar. With nearly 300 million sites on the web (and counting), finding the best resources online can be a little paralyzing—that’s why we’re here. You might not be plugged into the following cool and innovative sites, but you should be.
When we think about principles of leadership, some things work quite consistently across many organizations with widely different objectives, cultures, communities, and people. These principles work because they’re fundamental and simple—therefore you may have a tendency to dismiss them.
More than eight hundred people crowd BYU’s Joseph Smith Auditorium on a spring afternoon—some anxious, others curious. With the mix of chatter and upbeat music filling the room, a pep rally may seem imminent, but this gathering is a bit more cerebral in nature.
For centuries China has fascinated Westerners, exerting its influence in culture, government, philosophy, and religion across the globe. Although many Americans associate the country with egg rolls and sweet-and-sour chicken, China is shaking off stereotypes and embracing new ideas to increase its worldwide economic strength.
This is the fourth of a five-part personal financial planning series sponsored by the Peery Institute of Financial Services. The final installment, on savings and retirement, will appear in the Winter 2006 issue.
Talk to any cheese importer, student studying abroad, or retired couple finally realizing their dream to see the Sistine Chapel, and you're bound to hear that leaving the United States hurts, especially in the pocketbook.
No one in Beatrice Cortes’ family has ever completed graduate school. So when the California native and Mexican descendent graduates from the Marriott School next year with her MBA, she will be making history. But passing that milestone was only a dream until she received an Extended Reach scholarship. “The scholarship got me into grad school sooner than I could have done on my own,” she says. “I am fortunate to have it and am very appreciative.”
I own two small companies. It’s hard to pay myself benefits, let alone all my employees. The first thing to look at is making sure they are paid a competitive wage, then add vacation/holidays and keep within reason. Next, they might need health insurance, but if the spouse is working elsewhere and is covered, we can sometimes eliminate it. Finally, you might look at adding tax deferred savings plans and insurance. Since both my companies are retail, we offer very steep discounts to employees. It has been my experience that most people working for small companies do not expect superb benefits. Also, in order to keep costs down, you must do a lot of shopping.
