| No Ideas? You're Not Alone
U.S. News & World Report June 11, 2007 -- Conventional wisdom has it that breakthrough ideas come only from the minds of geniuses. Edison, Tolkien, Darwin -- history's biggest brains are responsible for its biggest innovations. Many companies are organized with this idea in mind. But creativity isn't a solitary affair -- and it's not the exclusive domain of the brilliant and gifted. In fact, research shows that people working in groups are far more innovative than previously thought. WUSTL education and psychology professor Keith Sawyer offers advice on what businesses can do to take advantage of their employees' creativity. |
| Cerberus Goes Where No Firm Has Gone Before
The New York Times and 3 others May 15, 2007 -- With an agreement to take control of Chrysler, Cerberus, a private equity firm, is venturing into virtually uncharted territory in taking on a company with the problems the size of Chrysler's and with a union as powerful as the United Automobile Workers.

| Split verdict on selecting juries quickly
Wall Street Journal Feb. 1, 2006 -- The spectacular financial collapse of Enron Corp. happened quickly. The selection of a jury in the criminal trial of its two former top executives, Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling, was even speedier. It took only a day to impanel the 12-person jury, while in some other high-profile cases, such proceedings have dragged on for weeks. Some lawyers uninvolved in the case were dismayed, saying there is absolutely no way a jury can be picked fairly in that case in one day. WUSTL law school dean Kent Sevyrud and others say the move toward speedier jury selection is a welcome one. |

| Not another PowerPoint presentation!
Newsweek Magazine May 9, 2005 -- In the age of BlackBerrys and cell phones, the traditional business meeting may be just another relic. Tolerance of in-person sessions is waning, in the face of digital alternatives. Corporate America seems to be heeding calls for etiquette reform. It's on the verge of losing the most important element of the business meeting--the personal relationship. WUSTL organizational behavior specialist William Bottom says, "People are using BlackBerrys as a crutch to avoid conflicts that they should be having face to face." |
| Students' clout helping workers -- and unions
Washington Post, St. Louis Post-Dispatch and 7 others April 8, 2005 -- Article on a growing movement on campuses -- including at WUSTL -- across the nation in support of workers' rights. Students have leverage, experts said, not only because universities are vulnerable to moral arguments in ways that businesses often are not -- but because they can't get fired. Universities are one of the few bright spots for labor unions, which have been losing members and power for years now. The Post-Dispatch article focuses on student activists who have occupied WUSTL's admissions office all week in a protest over pay for campus workers. They got a boost Thursday from Hugh McVey, president of the Missouri AFL-CIO, who wants to meet with WUSTL Chancellor Mark Wrighton to get his pledge for a "living wage" for about 500 service workers. |

| Olin overseas programs
South China Morning Post and 2 others April 26, 2004 -- A third class of students will start their study programme in April for an Executive MBA offered by the Olin School of Business. By teaming up with Fudan University's School of Management in Shanghai, widely regarded as one of the leading universities in the mainland, the school believes it has one of the best programmes around. Based at Fudan University, the programme runs over 18 months and to keep downtime from work to a minimum, classroom sessions are held for four consecutive days per month. James Little, EMBA academic director and professor of international economics at the Olin School of Business, says this enables those who travel from outside Shanghai to combine study with work in Shanghai. "We have students who travel in monthly from Beijing, Wuhan, Xiamen, Shenzhen, Taiwan and the United States," he says. |
