Shopper's Delight Stanford Shopping Center PLANET Environmental Improvement Awards 2008 National Grand Award Recipient: Gachina Landscape Management Category: Commercial Landscape Management Shopper’s Delight Upscale charm, beautiful landscape highlight shopping experience o say that the Stanford Shopping Center, located in Palo Alto, California, is not your ordinary shopping center is an understatement. The area’s dominant super Tregional retail property is anchored by fi ve major department stores, features more than 140 high-end specialty retail stores and numerous upscale-casual restaurants and yet looks more like a charming Tuscan hill town than a venue for shoppers. The architecture is varied and special; the fl ora and fauna create a lush, beautiful landscape; and around every corner is another stunning vista. “ Attention to detail is the main focus for managing this property,” explains John Gachina, CCLP, CLT, president of Gachina Landscape Management. This is the fourth year that his Menlo Park-based company has been meeting the high expectations of shoppers and visitors by installing and detailing spectacular color displays and providing the daily maintenance to the site’s landscape. “We have a fi ve-person crew at the location year-round,” says Gachina.” They hand water, change out and detail literally thousands of bulbs, perennials and annuals in hundreds of decorative pots and raised planters. They also maintain other high-profi le, high-touch, close-in areas comprised of turf, shrubs, trees and ground cover and oversee the maintenance of the property’s exterior.” One of the keys to performing the work, he points out, is staying out of the way of shoppers. “Crew members arrive on the site early, sometimes as early as 5 a.m. on weekends, and complete most of the intense maintenance, including the hand watering tasks, long before shoppers arrive. They then spend the rest of the day performing detail work. For watering, they employ hand wands with shut offs to keep water off the blooms and avoid wasting water when moving from display to display. Gachina goes on to explain that the site’s high public use requires an environmentally sensitive approach to maintenance, and demands a well-balanced integrated pest management program, with extensive use of organic and biological controls. Several events a year, heavy pedestrian traffi c, children playing and dogs create additional issues, not the least of which is ensuring that the crew maintains the highest level of safety while on site. “Its not unusual to see visitors taking a break from their shopping for a photo opportunity with friends and family members. The Colorful Palette colorful vistas offer a true destination for them.” An installation crew changes out the color twice a year and works closely with the property’s landscape designer, Jackie Stanford Shopping Center celebrated its 50th anniversary last Gray, from Merrivale Design, to ensure that the open breezeways year and is managed by the SIMON Property Group, Inc.

  • A Strategic Overview of the Silicon Valley Ecosystem: Towards Effectively “Harnessing” the Ecosystem
    A Strategic Overview of the Silicon Valley Ecosystem: Towards Effectively “Harnessing” the Ecosystem 8. University-Industry, University-Government Ties Kenji E. Kushida Universities are a critical component of the Silicon Valley ecosystem, serving as a multifaceted focal point for the exchange of human capital, ideas, technologies, and more. As such, Japanese companies that can effectively make use of universities for the variety of functions they can offer stand to benefit and become more effectively integrated into the Silicon Valley ecosystem. To do so, the first step is understanding the role of universities. The relationship between the government, universities and industries is often misunderstood as unidirectional, with the government encouraging innovations at universities by providing funding and the universities producing new ideas that are commercialized by industry. The reality observed in Silicon Valley, however, is more complex and multi-directional. The efforts for innovation are more often driven by individual researchers at universities rather than the government agencies or university administration, and initial ideas for innovation often comes from industries. The university-industries ties that contribute to the Silicon Valley ecosystem are multifaceted, diverse, and not easily captured by a single set of metrics. This in itself has caused much confusion for actors wishing to learn about Silicon Valley, not only from those outside the US, but in US media portrayals as well. This is partly because of the close relationship between the multifaceted university-government ties that anchor much of the university-industry ties. The core research universities are Stanford University and the University of California. Among the University of California schools UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco Medical Center are within the broader Silicon Valley ecosystem, with UC Davis also playing an important role, particularly in agricultural science.

Secondary fields: Decision Theory, Behavioral Economics. JOB MARKET PAPER “The Cost of Optimally Acquired Information” (with Weijie Zhong) This paper develops a theory for the expected cost of optimally acquired information when information can be acquired sequentially and there is no explicit cost of delay. We study the “reduced-form” Indirect Cost functions for information generated by sequential minimization of a “primitive” Direct Cost function. The class of Indirect Costs is characterized by a recursive condition called Sequential Learning- Proofness. This condition is inconsistent with Prior Invariance: Indirect Costs must depend on the decision-maker’s prior beliefs. We show that Sequential Learning-Proofness provides partial optimality foundations for the Uniformly Posterior Separable (UPS) cost functions used in the rational inattention literature: a cost function is UPS if and only if it is an Indirect Cost that (i) satisfies a mild regularity condition or, equivalently, (ii) is 1 generated (only) by Direct Costs for which the optimal sequential strategy involves observing only Gaussian diffusion signals.
