...the mentoring/co aching process. This paper on best practices outlines the issues firms fa ce in developing programs in these three areas and disc usses which practices, program designs or methods firms should take up in response to these issues. The Job Research in firms suggests that younger professionals are drawn to two different kinds of firms: the firm with a great reputation in the field, and the smaller, often less reputable, firms that offer younger people a broader range of opportunities. They usually favor the former when they regard their first or secon d job as a way station to a longer-term career in another company or setting and want to garner the “halo” effect of having worked at a great firm. This phenomenon o c curs in other professional services as well. For example, many consultants are happy to go to M cKinsey for their first five years of employment even though the prospect of becoming a partner and then a director are quite limited, and the work itself is extremely taxing. Many firms, however, cannot rely exclusively on the limited supply of skills within the firm to create opportunities for learning and growth. Therefore, these firms must build these opportunities into its system and culture. What are some methods for doing this? Stretch Assignments Research suggests that people develop their skills most when they are stretched. An assignment stretches someone, not simply when it is taxing but when a person must extend his or her...

...Vijay V. Vazirani College of Computing Georgia Institute of Technology Copyright c 2001 Approximation Algorithms Springer Berlin Heidelberg NewYork Barcelona Hong Kong London Milan Paris Singapore Tokyo To my parents Preface Although this may seem a paradox, all exact science is dominated by the idea of approximation. Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) Most natural optimization problems, including those arising in important application areas, are NP-hard. Therefore, under the widely believed conjecture that P = NP, their exact solution is prohibitively time consuming. Charting the landscape of approximability of these problems, via polynomial time algorithms, therefore becomes a compelling subject of scientific inquiry in computer science and mathematics. This book presents the theory of approximation algorithms as it stands today. It is reasonable to expect the picture to change with time. The book is divided into three parts. In Part I we cover a combinatorial algorithms for a number of important problems, using a wide variety of algorithm design techniques. The latter may give Part I a non-cohesive appearance. However, this is to be expected – nature is very rich, and we cannot expect a few tricks to help solve the diverse collection of NP-hard problems. Indeed, in this part, we have purposely refrained from tightly categorizing algorithmic techniques so as not to trivialize matters. Instead, we have attempted to capture, as accurately as possible, the individual character...

Naan, tu peux reposer en paix, ta foi et ta générosité naturelle, ton humilité et ton intégrité forment un legs incommensurable. Ce legs-là, constituera pour moi un horizon indépassable tout au long de ce pèlerinage sur cette terre d’exil ! Remerciements Pour deux raisons au moins, je me dois d’adresser mes premiers mots, chaleureux et de grande reconnaissance, au Prof. Bernard Dafflon, titulaire de la Chaire de finances publiques et de gestion des politiques publiques. La première raison tient en l’éthique de ce dernier, son éthique de l’humain d’où qu’il vienne. En effet, alors qu’il ne me connaissait ni d’Adam ni d’Eve, il a accepté, dès le départ et spontanément, de diriger la thèse qui en était au stade de projet. Deuxièmement, il a été un directeur rigoureux, enthousiaste et bien imprégné de la problématique de la thèse dont il a, du reste, été le premier lecteur et rapporteur attentionné.
