Introduction | 1 Introduction to Tuck 1 Program Highlights Community – Tuck’s small size and relative isolation foster a close-knit community where classmates and partners spend a significant amount of time working and socializing together. With more than half of first-year students at Tuck living on campus, students tend to form close bonds. MBA Focus – Unlike most leading business schools, Tuck does not offer a Ph.D. program in business, choosing instead to fo- cus on the MBA degree. Without doctoral candidates to advise and teach, Tuck professors dedicate their full energies to the MBA program and its students. General Management Education – Tuck’s program is consid- ered to provide strong general management preparation, eschewing formal majors or concentrations to allow students to pursue their own academic paths. The school’s largest de- partment by far is Strategy & Management, which reflects its generalist focus. Leadership Development – Leadership training has been part of Tuck’s mission since the school’s founding. The Cen- ter for Leadership at Tuck furthers this mission, integrating leadership-related content throughout the MBA curriculum. Students report that the school’s community-oriented envi- ronment encourages them to work with others to define and reach common goals. Northeast Career Placement – Tuck places a higher percentage of graduates in positions in the Northeast U.S. than any of its peers. For students hoping to live and work in the Northeast after graduation, Tuck is sure to provide access to the neces- sary resources and recruiters. Brief History of the MBA Originally conceived as an extra year of undergraduate train- ing in finance, economics and accounting, business schools shifted around the start of the 20th century to begin offering managerial training for the U.S.’s new industrialized compa- nies (see Figure 1.1). Their prestige grew throughout the Great Depression of the 1930s, when the research and train- ing generated by business schools was seen as a key to the country’s economic recovery. The unprecedented managerial needs of World War II further increased the demand for for- mal business education, and after the war, U.S. veterans used www.clearadmit.com © 2006-2015 Clear Admit, LLC.

    Dartmouth College Tuck School of Business RECRUITMENT AND SCHOLARSHIPS/FELLOWSHIPS What programs and initiatives has your school found successful in the recruitment of minority and/or female students? 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.

Lasher ’88, and will serve as a member of Advancement’s senior leadership team. He/she will manage a team of 35 professionals in the division of Alumni Relations and support a volunteer organization of more than 500 leaders. ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY: Dartmouth seeks a new Vice President for Alumni Relations to guide one of the most vital and successful alumni programs in higher education, inspiring community among 80,000 alumni around the world. The Vice President will provide strategic vision and direction for alumni communications, engagement, programming, and volunteer leadership in service to the College and its global alumni networks. This is an extraordinary moment at Dartmouth. Now in the fifth year of his term as President, Philip J.

Watson: But I got hung up in a different way. Just as I was getting in my car, my trousers got caught on a piece of broken metal at the back of the car. Professor Sadler ran into it yesterday – and ripped my trouser leg right down so I had to rush back and change my pants. Hopkins: I'm sorry for the cause, but I'm kind of glad you were delayed. This was an interesting telephone conversation. It was with a fellow named Gordon who is the head of the company that made the silver bowl and he just wanted some assurance it was all right and so forth. He's a very, very attractive fellow, but I have just barely met him though. I donʼt know him well at all. Childs: It looked like a beautiful bowl. I trust it's as beautiful as it looked there. Is it? It's a perfect reproduction, isnʼt it? Hopkins: Just a perfect reproduction. It is very beautiful, very beautiful. Childs: I told you ahead of time I wasn't going to get to your dinner. But I did. I was so glad… so thrilled by it. It was wonderful.

    Book Reviews Lincoln’s Sons. By Ruth Painter Randall. (Boston : Little, Brown, and Company, 1955, pp. mi, 373. Illustrations, bibliography, and index. $5.00.) An impressive demonstration of the objective approach in biography has been made during the past decade by the late James Garfield Randall and Ruth Painter Randall. The concluding number of Randall’s four-volume set, Lincoln the President, is recently from the press and Mrs. Randall’s Lincoln’s Sons is now in print. This last work and its com- panion volume, Mary Lincoln. Biography of a Marriage, published in 1953, cover the domestic life of the Lincolns. It seems incredible that within a period of ten years, by the use of authentic sources, these two writers have been able to completely nullify the generally accepted stories of the Lincoln home life. For sixty years or more William Herndon was considered the outstanding authority in this phase of Lincolniana. However, the place of distinction which Professor Randall occupied among trained historians allowed him to successfully challenge, where others had failed, the validity of Herndon’s widely used compilation of folklore and traditions relating to the Lincoln family. Mrs. Randall’s first book brought to the attention of the reading public the great injustice done to the widow of Abraham Lincoln by the one-time law partner of her hus- band. Now in the author’s second volume she comes to the defense of another member of the Lincoln household, Robert Todd Lincoln, who was also greatly misrepresented by Herndon. While the casual reader will be entertained by the escapades of Willie and Tad, serious students of the Eman- cipator will be especially interested in the first objective biographical study of Robert, the only one of the four Lincoln boys to reach maturity.
