...international student should know about NYU Stern The New York University Stern School of Business was founded in 1900 by Charles Waldo Haskins, co-founder of Deloitte’s predecessor Haskins and Sells and a nephew of Ralph Waldo Emerson. It was then known as the School for Commerce, Finance, and Accounting, and prepared students for careers in the financial markets of New York City. In 1988, following a $30 million gift from alumnus Leonard N. Stern (MBA 1959), the school improved its facilities, and was renamed the Leonard N. Stern School of Business. Ten years later, in 1998, a $10 million gift from Henry Kaufman (PhD 1958) supported a major upgrade of Stern’s facilities. In 1999 came a similar gift from Kenneth Langone (MBA 1960). In 2000, Stern celebrated its centenary with the launch of a $100 million Centennial Campaign, which helped the school double its endowment, enhance the number of named professorships, and increase financial aid to students. Here are more facts about the school, with a focus on its full-time MBA program. Location: NYU Stern is located in the center of Greenwich Village, near Washington Square Park...

...faith in it. They say that college is the closest thing to the professional and business world that young people experience. How well they did there indicates how well they can perform in a job, they argue. According to these recruiters, a student with a high GPA has shown that she can focus on tasks, handle pressure, learn quickly, and is motivated to succeed. They say these are all qualities that are needed to do a job well in any organization, and it is a safe bet to hire candidates with these qualities. Some sectors and companies do prefer to see GPAs on resumes. For accounting, education, finance, health, and law sectors, GPA is a big thing. They see it as a key indicator of the candidate’s competence and use it a shortlisting tool. An NYU official was quoted as saying that investment banks, big professional services companies, and pharmaceuticals are keen on seeing GPA mentioned in resumes. According to Purdue officials, many big companies that hire on the campus, such as GM, Caterpillar, and Ford, wish to see GPA included in resumes. Some companies that take GPA into account for hiring, use it mainly to shortlist candidates, that is, as a method to whittle down the applicant pool. Some consider applications only from those with a GPA of 3.0-3.3 and above. A few top companies fix 3.5 as the cut-off point. A director of recruiting for a professional services giant was quoted in a Forbes article that he expected to see GPA on the resumes of job candidates. “Grades certainly...

...Research on Educational Impact of Games A Literature Review Institute for Games for Learning NYU Education/Assessment Group CUNY Education/Assessment Group White Paper # 02/2009 Version 0.1 June 25, 2009 Florrie Ng Helen Zeng Jan L. Plass Gaming Literature Coding In response to researchers’ calls for more systematic investigations of the use of games for learning, we conducted an extensive literature review on this topic. By surveying prior research, we examined the themes that emerged, the methodology employed, and the findings yielded, the ultimate goal being to identify knowledge gaps in the literature. To this end, we reviewed the relevant research conducted in the last 15 years by following the procedures outlined below. (a) Using the widely used social science database PsycINFO, we searched for articles which focused on both games and learning. The keywords chosen were “gam*” and either “learn*”, “teach*”, or “educat*” (the wildcard * can stand for any of a defined subset of all possible characters; for example “gam*” includes “game,” “games,” “gaming,” etc.). This generated about 4000 peer-reviewed articles from the earliest date (i.e., before 1960) to the end of 2008. (b) Given that studies conducted a decade ago tended to be less rigorous methodologically or yield obsolete results, we decided to focus our attention on more recent research. Once we narrowed down the time period to the years of 1995 to 2008, about 2400 peer-reviewed articles were left in the...

LSE ID numbers : 200933569, (add everyone else’s ID number per essay instructions) Word Count: The auto industry has significantly benefitedsignificant benefits from globalization. The industry has evolved from being a local-market-focused business comprised of hundreds of small manufacturers to a global market-focused business dominated by Japanese, German, South Korean, and American producers generating over 1.7 trillion dollars US in sales. This essay discusses what we believe are the main risks posed by globalization to the automobile industry. We define globalization for the purpose of this essay to beas the integration of markets across political boundaries that allows for the flow of capital, people, goods and services within. We define the automobile industry as the set of companies that produce automobiles and light duty trucks (“The Auto Industry”).. Since WW II, globalization has enabled greater market access and corporate consolidation that has enabled large automobile manufacturers to diversify their offer product and transcend national boundaries. Volkswagen, for example, originally a German company founded by Nazi government in 1937 to offer German citizens a German produced car, now includes makes from seven different countries and has hails China as one of its largest markets...

...A Novel Simple but Empirically Consistent Model for Stock Price and Option Pricing HUADONG(HENRY) PANG∗ Quantitative Research, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. 277 Park Ave., New York, NY, 10017 Third draft, May 16, 2009 Abstract In this paper, we propose a novel simple but empirically very consistent stochastic model for stock price dynamics and option pricing, which not only has the same analyticity as log-normal and Black-Scholes model, but can also capture and explain all the main puzzles and phenomenons arising from empirical stock and option markets which log-normal and Black-Scholes model fail to explain. In addition, this model and its parameters have clear economic interpretations. Large sample empirical calibration and tests are performed and show strong empirical consistency with our model’s assumption and implication. Immediate applications on risk management, equity and option evaluation and trading, etc are also presented. Keywords: Nonlinear model, Random walk, Stock price, Option pricing, Default risk, Realized volatility, Local volatility, Volatility skew, EGARCH. This paper is self-funded and self-motivated.

...Subject: Successful Princeton Applicant Through all of my accomplishments and disappointments, I have always been especially proud of the dedication and fervor I possess for my personal beliefs and values. Unfortunately, it has often been difficult for me to remain outwardly firm and confident in a town where most people think alike and reject exceptions. Whenever I have expressed my position as a pro-life advocate, peers have badgered, accused, and ridiculed me for simply believing in something that they scorn. Despite all the pressure, I never waive red from my belief, yet I became frustrated and began to lose the courage to publicly express my opinion on this controversial topic. To gain some insight and reassurance for myself, I attended the New Jersey Right to Life Convention in the spring of 1995. This experience uplifted me and offered great inspiration and enlightenment. At the convention I received an overwhelming amount of support and encouragement from wonderful people who advocate the very principles I believe in. This convention was so inspiring that the next day in school I was able to relate my experience to one of my biggest opponents on the subject. Also, the abundant information available at the convention enabled me to defend my position on abortion more effectively. Attending this convention accomplished two things. It proved my commitment to my belief, in that I took the initiative to strengthen and support my opinion, refusing to give up or lose heart. Unlike...

We at XLRI have structured our programmes in such a manner as to equip the future managers of tomorrow with learning, competencies and skills that can significantly contribute to the growth of the organization. XLRI has always been proudly associated with academic excellence, personal values and social concern. It has been the crucible of leadership training for over 60 years and its banner is held high by a fine breed of alumni who serve as “change agents” thereby adding a new dimension to their corporate role. This integral and value based formation will greatly assist our students to be innovative, competent and creative leaders. They are groomed in a manner as to serve as agents of continuous improvement and change. It was in 1997 that XLRI recognized an unfulfilled need for formal management training at middle and senior levels of corporate strata. The result of that thought process was the General Management Programme, which has ever since, transformed several industry professionals into veritable leaders who reflect the standards and values of XLRI at various organizations. Recognized by AICTE, the programme places emphasis on stringent admission procedures...
