More than 600 researchers attended, including featured speakers

business and economics, computer science, political science

developments in game theory and related sciences. Recognizing

Hayagreeva
Rao, the Richard L. Thomas Distinguished Professor of
Leadership and Change, was selected a fellow by the Center
for Advanced Study in Behavioral Sciences, an independent

scholars for the honor of becoming a fellow. Of more than
3,000 active nominees, fewer than 1 percent will ever be made
eligible. Those chosen spend their fellowship year at the
center, where they have the intellectual freedom, interdisciplinary
stimulation and support to explore new and challenging ideas,
and to think and write more profoundly than at any other time
in their careers. Rao’s fellowship continues a tradition
in his academic department, Management and Organizations:
The most recent MORS faculty member to visit the center was

in the INFORMS Society for Marketing Science’s second
annual Practice Prize Competition. INFORMS, an organization
composed of both academics and practitioners who use quantitative
methods to improve marketing decision making, announced the
prize at its June conference in Rotterdam. The society established
the Practice Prize in 2003 to recognize outstanding implementation
of marketing science concepts and methods. Zoltners and Sinha’s
competition submission, Sales Territory Design: 30 Years of
Modeling and Implementation, details the evolution of the
sales territory alignment system they developed and implemented
at ZS Associates, the consulting firm they established in
1983. The research will be published in an upcoming issue
of Marketing Science.
Recommended reads
These
titles are among the books Kellogg School faculty have been
reading:
Naked
Economics: Undressing the Dismal Science by Charles Whalen
(Norton, 2002). A lively, well-written, nontechnical explanation
of how microeconomics can help people understand markets,
business and public policy, written by the former Midwest
correspondent for The Economist.
The
Informant by Kurt Eichenwald (Broadway Books, 2000). A
gripping account of the price-fixing conspiracy that involved
Archer Daniels Midland. All business school graduates should
read this book so they fully understand the consequences of
violating antitrust laws.
The
Company: A Short History of a Revolutionary Idea by John
Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge (Modern Library, 2003).
A well- written history of the genesis of the corporation
by two editors of The Economist. The book traces the
history of the limited liability joint stock company from
1500 to the present and shows how the corporation has become
a powerful catalyst for social change.
Why
Societies Need Dissent by Cass R. Sunstein (Harvard UP,
2003). Law professor Sunstein argues elegantly that civil
dissent leads to healthy open discussion that benefits citizens,
corporations and governments.
Professor
Philip
Kotler had been receiving emails from acquaintances urging
him to see the French movie, “L’auberge Espagnole”
(“The Spanish Apartment”), a film about European
students living, studying and playing in Barcelona. After
viewing the film, Kotler and his wife, Nancy, discovered why.
Toward
the end of the movie, there is a scene in which a rowdy British
student interrupts a German student who is studying from a
textbook. The text turns out to be Kotler’s Marketing
Management. The British student asks, “What are
you doing?” His German counterpart answers: “It’s
marketing stuff. Do you know Philip Kotler?” “No,”
replies the British student. The German student says: “A
great man.” Kotler notes that this is his first movie
role, but says it’s really more like “product
placement.” |
