Think Profitably in 3 Steps

December 2, 2013

Thanks to concepts like the skunkworks team or Project X research group, everyone wants to have a chance to innovate and create without worrying about the cost of resources.

If You’re Bucking the Standard, Make Sure You’re Great

October 8, 2012

The Gamma Alpha chapter of Phi Mu at The College of William and Mary recently withdrew from the formal recruitment process (previously known as ‘rush’). For those of you wondering what that means, it’s essentially the same as Jeff Bezos saying, “Why do I even need to open a store to sell books?” It’s also […]

Acting on What You Want (Even Dreams)

July 3, 2012

When I was interviewing for jobs as I finished up  my MBA, one of the main interview questions was, “What is something you want to do in your career?” Being in business school, my answer should have been something like, “I want to develop an international marketing campaign for a B2C company that is targeting […]

When I Grow Up, I Want to be Alice

June 23, 2009

This week has brought on a lot of Alice news. The first images of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland have got the web in an excited frenzy. As a Burton fan myself (I did a thesis on imagery in college), I thought it was quite fitting for the Burton lens be applied to Lewis Carroll’s […]

Get Your Own Case Studies

June 3, 2009

My college roommate was a Finance major, and often times she would tell me about all the case studies she had to work on for class.
