This year, formulation of a project for the class coincided with the recently initiated Dartmouth College Sustainability Strategic Planning Process. Dartmouth College has a strong legacy of sustainability efforts (ENVS 50 course syllabus, 2011) and a reputation for being connected to the outdoors. Today, however, other universities, such as Arizona State University, Yale, Oberlin, Harvard and Middlebury, are racing forward with new sustainability initiatives, sustainable building designs, and new, innovative academic programs. Dartmouth’s status as a “leader in sustainability” has been left in the dust. Initiation of the Sustainability Strategic Planning Process is an effort by the College to restore its role as a leader in sustainability by laying out a high- level road map towards sustainability leadership with specific milestones to bring the College to its desired destination (ENVS 50 course syllabus, 2011). The Sustainability Strategic Planning Process is driven by the Sustainability Steering Committee, who has designated three working groups to focus sustainability in particular areas of the Dartmouth community, namely, Energy, Culture and Learning, and Material Flows. The working groups integrate feedback into their final deliverables from several sounding boards including one made up of alumni and one of Upper Valley and Hanover community residents. Each working group is tasked with presenting a set of deliverables to the Steering Committee: A base case, “where we are now in 2011” summary A “Leadership in this area = _____” Vision Statement A high level map to leadership, including actions A description of the ongoing governance required for lasting sustainability and continuity of efforts What structures are needed for long-term success in this area? A communication plan for this area What kind of communication is needed for success? (The Sustainability Planning Process for WG Members 4.11.11) 4 After learning more about the Sustainability Strategic Planning process, our class decided that, in our role as students, we would be most effective in supporting the efforts of the Culture and Learning Working Group. To do this, our class has created an informational “tool-kit” that provides foundational information about sustainability at Dartmouth that can help the working group begin to develop its deliverables. The Culture and Learning tool-kit consists of four components, each targeted at providing supporting information and research relevant to a particular deliverable of the Culture and Learning Working Group. 1. A Recipe for Success: This chapter examines the successes and failures of past student-initiated sustainability projects, similar to this one, in an effort to contribute to the base- case summary of where are we now in terms of sustainability at Dartmouth. The group focused on particular case studies of: the Dartmouth Organic Farm, the Sustainable Living Center, the Big Green Bus and the Dartmouth GreenLITE project. After examining these projects, they developed a “recipe of success” that provides students and the working group guidelines that they can follow when starting and implementing future projects from scratch here at Dartmouth. 2. Sustainability within Dartmouth Sub-Culture: This chapter seeks to define sustainability within several of Dartmouth’s larger sub-communities of students, namely the athletic and Greek communities. Armed with insight into these communities, the group has recommended a set of standards to follow when addressing sustainability within each “mini- culture” and creating effective sustainable solutions to any identified problems. 3. Assessing Student Environmental Knowledge and Curricular Integration of Sustainability: This chapter examines specifically the “Learning” piece of the working group. This chapter examines student sustainability knowledge at Dartmouth, as well as the integration of sustainability teaching into academic departments with the largest number of declared majors. A statistical analysis revealed an important link between declared major, curricular integration of sustainability teaching, and sustainability knowledge. The chapter makes several recommendations about further integration of sustainability concepts into department curricula and an assessment of the student body’s understanding of sustainability. 4. Improving Student Group Communication: This chapter looks at trends in communication patterns among different groups and departments on campus. Common frustrations, such as issues with Blitz-mail, student culture, and lack of coordination, are 5 identified, as are best practices, exemplified in the organization of two campus groups, the Pan- Asian Council and the Dartmouth Outing Club. After describing the communication landscape at Dartmouth, suggestions are made as to how green groups can better organize and network. A comprehensive and cohesive model for effective communication will be instrumental in implementing sustainable change at Dartmouth. The tool-kit outlined above will provide the Culture and Learning Working Group of the Sustainability Strategic Planning process with essential groundwork for starting its mission to develop a high-level system of governance that will accomplish the nuts and bolts of sustainability at Dartmouth College (The Sustainability Planning Process for WG Members 4.11.11). Last year’s ENVS 50 class presented convincing evidence that the Dartmouth community, students, faculty, and administrators alike believe that Dartmouth College should push itself to become an innovative leader in sustainability (ENVS 50,2010). The tool-kit has developed the essential mechanisms for transforming this optimism and energy around sustainability into a concrete framework to accomplish this vision. 6 Chapter I: A Recipe for Success Desiree A. Deschenie James M. Kim Edward F. Molleo IV Timothy K. Sirkoi 7 Introduction Some recent sustainability projects at Dartmouth have advanced sustainability on campus; others have not. In the examination of some of these projects, we find some interesting lessons for the future of sustainability initiatives at the College. Specifically, the Dartmouth Organic Farm, the Sustainable Living Center, the Big Green Bus and the Dartmouth GreenLITE projects each represent a student-involved initiative with mixed results. Our goal in studying these is to develop a “Recipe for Success”, by drawing conclusions from the results of our research and giving future students guidance to follow when planning and implementing future projects at Dartmouth. The format of our report is as follows. We begin by describing each project, outlining each project’s objectives, and identifying the project’s main actors and governance structures before examining impacts and records of success at Dartmouth. In our examination, we analyze different ways in which these projects have succeeded or failed, and suggest common themes that explain aspects of their success or failure. We take a particularly close look at factors that have hindered the expansion of each of the four projects. We report on interviews with some of the main actors involved in the four projects. These actors include faculty and staff such as Scott Stokoe (Organic Farm and the Sustainable Living Center), Rory Gawler (Big Green Bus) and Professor Lorie Loeb (GreenLITE), as well as various students who were involved in these projects in different capacities. What is Success? During our research, we were faced with the fundamental question of defining success for sustainability projects at Dartmouth. In considering several different definitions, we settled on one that defines project success as “the degree to which project objectives are met” (de Wit, p. 164), as we feel that each individual project occurs in a unique situation of time and resources. As such, the only fair way to measure each project's accomplishments is by its own criteria. We find this definition to be the most applicable to the four case studies that we have chosen because all four projects had stated objectives that they wanted to achieve at the time of their founding. 8 It then makes sense that we evaluate each of the four case studies to be mixed successes, because if all objectives had been accomplished, there would be no need for the project's continued existence.

Achieving a diverse student body is critical in a globalized world where business demands that different voices, approaches and opinions are heard. The Tuck admissions office goes to great lengths to attract, select and matriculate a class of students to bring a variety of perspectives to the classroom and to student life. Our global business perspective means that we value differences—cultural, historical and social. Understanding the spectrum of experience and outlook is essential for leaders who will manage diverse work forces. Ensuring that everyone feels comfortable in the Tuck community accomplishes more than harmony; it improves the learning process. It is a critical component of our leadership development and it starts with the admissions process. The school competes at the highest levels on key factors that are important to all students, such as the talent and prestige of faculty, career opportunities for graduates and depth and breadth of curriculum. Yet Tuck also differs from other top business schools in important ways that reflect the values of diverse groups including our focus, personal scale, emphasis on group learning and teamwork and the extraordinary levels of involvement and support we receive from our alumni family. Each year, Tuck admissions undertakes a wide variety of initiatives to attract a diverse group of applicants and enroll a diverse class. These initiatives include mailings to women, minority and international prospective students; receptions and meetings around the world for prospective students; participation in the Consortium for Graduate Study in Management; the minority and alumnae mentor programs; inviting admitted students to conferences, alumni events and the admitted student weekend in April; and organizing faculty, students and alumni to contact admitted students.

  • Our Green Future: the Sustainability Road Map for Dartmouth
    OUR GREEN FUTURE: THE SUSTAINABILITY ROAD MAP FOR DARTMOUTH EXECUTIVE SUMMARY President Hanlon has called on Dartmouth to play a leadership role in improving global sustainability and overcoming the challenges of climate change. The Sustainability Task Force has been charged with developing plans supportive of this goal. Although Dartmouth has substantially reduced campus energy use and made other significant advances over the last decade, we lag our peer institutions with respect to commitments, actions, and reporting in the sustainability domain. The best available science indicates that, in order to limit temperature rise to 2 degrees centigrade, greenhouse gas emissions must be decreased by at least 80% by 2050. Our report recommends principles, standards, and commitments in the areas of energy, waste and materials, water, food, transportation, and landscape and ecology. Energy is the largest contributor to Dartmouth's greenhouse gas emissions and is also the area where prior analysis best positions us to take action. We believe that providing 50% of campus energy from renewable sources by 2025 and 100% by 2050 is feasible. For campus operations other than energy, we recommend timelines for data gathering and goal-setting. Looking beyond campus operations, Dartmouth has opportunities to maximize our impact by initiatives involving integration of sustainability into our curriculum, out-of-classroom activities and research and scholarship. We believe that the tension between fiscal and operational constraints and sustainability imperatives is healthy. This tension focuses the tradeoffs and allows us to determine how we might gain the most benefit possible per unit of spending. Open discourse and continuous fine-tuning of our goals will allow our investments to produce the greatest possible impact, and enable us to build a model that can be sustained and replicated.

Performance Regimes and Marketing Policy Shifts Abstract Year after year, managers in mature markets strive to improve their performance. When successful, they can expect to continue executing on an established marketing strategy. However, when the results are disappointing, a change or turnaround strategy may be called for in order to help performance get back on track. In such case, performance diagnostics are needed to identify turnarounds and to quantify the role of marketing actions in this process. This paper introduces rolling-window tests and performance barometers to analyze how strategic windows of performance growth and decline alternate with long periods of performance stability. Applying this framework to a rich marketing dataset, the authors identify and interpret transitions between stable and trending performance regimes, and assess marketing's power to induce performance turnaround. The empirical analysis shows that, even in mature markets, performance stability is not the only business scenario.

  • Dartmouth's Community Impact
    Dartmouth’s Community Impact September 2018 Introduction: Dartmouth College educates the most promising students and prepares them for a lifetime of learning and of responsible leadership, through a faculty dedicated to teaching and the creation of knowledge. In fulfilling its mission as an educational institution, Dartmouth strives to serve its students as well as the Upper Valley community through its role as an employer, collaborator, and innovator. This report illustrates the symbiotic relationship between Dartmouth, Hanover, and the Upper Valley in areas including economic impact, research and innovation, education, arts and culture, sustainability and conservation. Economic impact: Dartmouth has a substantial financial impact on the local, regional, and state economies of New Hampshire and Vermont. Taxes & Fees: Dartmouth pays taxes on all dormitories, dining rooms, and kitchens with values in excess of $150K, as well as about 500 off-campus rental properties and commercial properties (approximately 53% of its Hanover property holdings). Dartmouth is Hanover’s largest taxpayer, contributing roughly 20% of the taxes in support of the county, town, and school budgets. Employment: Dartmouth is New Hampshire’s ninth largest service sector employer with 3,497 resident employees (Dartmouth Hitchcock is the largest employer with 9,100 employees)1. In FY17 Dartmouth paid $464M in payroll and employee benefits. Dartmouth is also a large local spender. According to an analysis of purchasing data, Dartmouth spent about $146M in New Hampshire and Vermont in FY172. Dartmouth’s economic impact extends beyond its direct actions as a local spender and employer. Dartmouth’s 4,300 undergraduate and 2,000 graduate students make up a significant portion of Hanover’s total population and, as residents and consumers, play a critical role in the local economy.

  • Tuck Innovation Strategy Brochure 29-04-2021
    INNOVATION STRATEGY: HOW LEADERS CREATE THE FUTURE 01 THE FUTURE IS NOW No matter their size, today’s companies are seeking growth that requires a compelling, cohesive innovation strategy. Yet, many companies struggle to bring their big ideas to life. This is because the real innovation challenge lies beyond just the idea, in the long journey from imagination to business impact. Many leaders understand that innovation calls for a different set of activities, skills, methods, metrics, and leadership approaches. And it is well understood that creating a new business and optimizing an existing one are two fundamentally different man- agement challenges. The real problem for leaders is doing both, simultaneously. THE FRAMEWORK Strategy and innovation expert Vijay "VG" Govindarajan, the Coxe Distinguished Professor of Management at the Tuck School of Business, expands the leader’s toolkit with a simple and proven method for allocating the organization’s energy, time, and resources. This framework for innovation is called the Three-Box Solution. This powerful framework makes leading innovation easier because it gives leaders a simple vocabulary and set of tools for managing and measuring these different sets of behaviors and activities across all levels of the organization. This eight-week program brings to life the concepts from VG’s book, The Three-Box Solution: A Strategy for Leading Innovation, through live and recorded lectures, application exercises, case studies, and group discussions. The course is designed for corporate teams or individual learners. Teams will accelerate the learning by collaborating on business application projects, while individual learners will work on application projects specic to their unique business context, and then join a team of peers for allow for a diversity of perspective and feedback on their work.
