...Angeline FROM: Elizabeth Anderson, Undergraduate Student, University of Maryland, Robert H. Smith School of Business DATE: September 28, 2014 SUBJECT: Establish a student organized advising program within the Smith Undergraduate Student Association (SUSA) for potential Smith school applicants Description The majority of University of Maryland College Park undergraduate students intending to pursue degrees from the Robert H. Smith School of Business apply for admittance to the school sometime during their sophomore or junior year. Before acceptance into the program, students are faced with the difficultly of not having access to business specific advisors as well as other resources that could dramatically assist in the process of applying to the school. The Smith School is one of the University of Maryland’s Limited Enrollment Programs, (LEP), where admission to the program is highly competitive. In order to be eligible for review, applicants are required to take a series of eight gateway courses that are each related to the basic fundamentals of business. In addition to ensuring that all of these courses are adequately satisfied, students must also fulfill the additional admission requirements that are each very specific in manner. The entirety of this process, that takes approximately three to four semesters, all must occur without the assistance of an advisor whose expertise is of the Smith school’s standards and procedures. Prospective student’s quest for guidance is...

...Directors’ Education Institute from the dean Dear Alumni and Friends, It is not possible, these days, for a top law school to be anything other than an international one. At Duke Law, we no longer think of “international” as a separate category. Virtually everything we do has some international dimension, whether it concerns international treaties and protocols, commercial transactions across national borders, international child custody disputes, criminal behavior that violates international human rights law, international sports competitions, global environmental regulation, international terrorism, or any number of other topics. And, of course, there is little that we do at Duke that does not involve scholars and students from other countries, who are entirely integrated with U.S. scholars and students. Students enrolled in our joint JD/LLM program in international and comparative law receive an in-depth education in both the public and private aspects of international and comparative law, enriched by the ubiquitous presence of foreign students; likewise, the foreign lawyers who enroll in our one-year LLM program in American law enroll in the same courses, attend the same conferences, and engage in the same intellectual and social life as American students. This issue of Duke Law Magazine provides a flavor of the international dimensions of the Law School. It touches on some of our ongoing international programs, including the Institutes in Transnational Law at Geneva and...

...postindustrial age, more and more organizations face high velocity environments which are characterized as dramatically changing, uncertain, and high-risk (Bourgeois & Eisenhardt, 1988; Riolli-Saltzman & Luthans, 2001). In such a dynamic environment, many organizations find the use of teams efficient and productive (LePine, Erez, & Johnson, 2002). For example, a recent survey found that most Fortune 1,000 firms use teams with at least some employees and that teams are one of the fastest growing forms of employee 1 This study was supported by the Institute of Management Research of Seoul National University, Korea and by Grants from the R.

...successful technology entrepreneurs used bootstrap financing: the founders of Microsoft Corporation, Apple Inc., Dell Inc. and Research in Motion Ltd. The research investigates the elements of bootstrapping as described in Freear et al. (1995a) and in Winborg and Landström (2001), finding that entrepreneurs use bootstrapping extensively during the early stages of growth for both product and business developments. Bootstrapping methods change as the business develops with certain methods used more at the beginning of the life cycle, and different variations used as the business starts to grow. The study also points out that even the most successful technology-based consumer goods businesses relied on bootstrap financing at the early stages of their development. This technique deserves more attention from the scholarly community since it is certain to become more prevalent in the new credit and lending environment. Key words: Bootstrap financing, technology entrepreneurs innovation, Introduction Entrepreneurs have been around for as long as mankind has been involved in business. Identifying new business possibilities and exploiting them in new ventures for economic gain has always been an important activity in human life. Bootstrap...
