upward. Some have been in play for years, such as tight
refining capacity and growing demand in such places as
China and India. Others are more recent. "It's still
a supply-and-demand problem. It's still a risk-premium
problem," Kiesling said. "The thing that has
changed is the weakening of the dollar." |

researcher Adam
Galinsky, PhD, of Northwestern University, in a news

how to structure a deal that can benefit both parties.
But unfortunately in negotiations, empathizing makes you

The MBA Life: The Do-Good Disconnect
April 21, 2008
From the article: The Aspen Institute findings
reflect an important shift among students, said Daniel
Diermeier, a Northwestern University Kellogg School
of Management professor and director of the school's Ford
Motor Co. Center for Global Citizenship. "It doesn't
mean that material success and financial success are not
important to them, but there is another goal in there
now that needs to be balanced with those," said Diermeier,
who didn't participate in the Aspen research. Diermeier
said the way today's MBAs structure their careers reflects
this trend. "Many of them dip in and out of a typical
corporate career and then they have a stint at a nonprofit,
or they may be at [consulting firm] McKinsey but at the
same time they serve on a nonprofit board, or they may
be involved in setting up a socially responsible enterprise." |

March 29, 2008
From the article: Major law schools have long offered
joint degree programs with their business schools, but
the added year of coursework—and the extra tuition—have
kept the pool of applicants small. Northwestern University
has been at the forefront of the change by making it easier
for students to get a
dual degree in business and law. It has consolidated
the applications for both schools to one and reduced the
program to a jam-packed three years instead of four. Since
the consolidation in 1999, enrollment has jumped to nearly
25 students a year. Even regular law students are encouraged
to learn the basics of business law. |

family business at Northwestern University's Kellogg School
of Management. "It's not that remarkable to start
and build a business," said Lloyd, who interviewed
Segal for a book he wrote on entrepreneurs. "It's
the transition from an entrepreneurial business to a managed
business that is so difficult, not functionally but psychologically.
It's even more difficult with the business that succeeds
to get people to let go." |

Refineries Expand to Process Dirty Oil
March 12, 2008
From the segment: But can we cut pollution and

Kiesling teaches at Northwestern University. "Regardless
of your perception of corporate profits there is a fundamental
trade-off between environmental quality and increasing
our refinery production." Kiesling says, when refineries
invest in pollution control, consumers ultimately foot
the bill. And she says drivers are to blame – over
time, we buy more gasoline – even when prices rise.
So, oil companies are just trying to meet our demand with
new, dirtier oil. |

says Alexander

From the article: Kellogg’s assistant dean

leaders by setting a high standard for its students. “Schools
-- higher education in general -- tends to be more diverse,
generally speaking,” says Flye, who also serves
as adviser to GLMA. “But I will tell you that there
are schools, just like there are companies out there,
that are model organizations. In my opinion, Kellogg is
the model business school in that regard.” ... “We're
trying to build a class,” she says. “Just
imagine a mosaic. Each person we admit is a tile in the
next class. And we're not just putting together an outstanding
class in terms of quality and diversity; we're also putting
together what we hope is going to be a very stimulating
and enriching experience for everyone coming in. We're
trying to mirror how the world really is by bringing in
an interesting, diverse class.” |

of the model ceased Nov. 19, 1959. Ford has since bounced
back, but the lesson remains. "It's a classic case
of perspective taking," says Adam
Galinsky, a professor of management and organizations
at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management.
"If businesses don't consult outside perspectives
to objectively assess consumers' demands, their products
are at risk of failure." |

found that the occurrence of negative terms did seem to
do a good job of predicting the post earnings drift. A
portfolio of stocks consisting of long positions on stocks
with no negative words and short positions on stocks with
the highest level of negative words earned one percent
per month abnormal returns. |
