I once knew a man who worked for a major oil company. He managed a large wholesale territory that sold fuel and oil products to airlines and other big accounts. Some years ago, the company decided to pull out of his territory. They offered him the opportunity to buy the wholesale business “for a song,” which he readily accepted. He worked diligently and set specific financial goals for his company. He committed these goals to writing on 3x5 cards and kept them in his shirt pocket so he could frequently review them. Everything he did with that business was aimed at fulfilling these goals.

Bruce Hymas and his teammates had sixteen connectors, fifty-four sticks, and three minutes. The task: build a tower that holds up a golf ball—and make the tower taller than everyone else’s.
While watching televised highlights from the Olympic Games in Vancouver, I heard a memorable line from an insurance firm’s commercial: “Will this be known as the great recession or the recession that made us great?” This is good marketing copy and also a profound question. We are, indeed, looking out on a wintry economic landscape, and we are deeply concerned about our students and many others who are struggling to make headway with employment.
Judith Martin, of Miss Manners newspaper fame, wrote in a recent column, "Question: At what age should children be taught how to eat properly? Answer: In their mid-to late-twenties. Question: What is the best venue for this instruction?
This is the third of a five-part personal financial planning series sponsored by the Peery Institute of Financial Services. The next installment, about getting out of debt, will appear in the Fall 2005 issue.
In finance there’s a well-known problem called the principal-agent conflict. The conflict arises when managers and owners of a firm have different incentives. When that happens, managers may make decisions that benefit themselves at the expense of owners.
A student-initiated fundraiser is reaching new heights at the Marriott School. The second annual Corporate Climb, held 26 March 2005, helped raise more than $12,000 for the school’s annual fund. Participants sprinted up stairs and raced around corners—but not because they were late for class.
