THE CAMPAIGN FOR DUKE: FOCUS ON THE FINISH<br />

16 Joining Forces<br />

By aligning with others, <strong>Fuqua</strong> has<br />

and money to brand a school successfully.<br />

In order to ensure that <strong>Fuqua</strong><br />

Distance is no longer a factor<br />

when considering an MBA<br />

from <strong>Duke</strong>. Our students can<br />

live and work anywhere<br />

in the world and feel the<br />

same connection they would<br />

feel if they lived in the<br />

Research Triangle.<br />

2 FUQUA EXCHANGE<br />

The <strong>Fuqua</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> Business<br />

From the Dean<br />

<strong>Fuqua</strong> spans the globe in a number <strong>of</strong> ways, and in<br />

this issue <strong>of</strong> <strong>Exchange</strong>, we hope to show the impact<br />

we are having across the world.<br />

One <strong>of</strong> our main goals at <strong>Duke</strong> is to keep our students,<br />

faculty, staff and alumni connected to each<br />

other. We have so many resources for doing this, and<br />

we are especially proud <strong>of</strong> our technology. Our<br />

“place and space” model <strong>of</strong> teaching made us pioneers<br />

in the field, and now with our Center for<br />

Excellence in Business Education, fondly known as<br />

CEBE, we have made great strides in staying connected<br />

with our executive MBA students. Distance is<br />

no longer a factor when considering an MBA from<br />

<strong>Duke</strong>. Our students can live and work anywhere in<br />

the world and feel the same connection they would<br />

feel if they lived in the Research Triangle.<br />

In addition to our technology, <strong>Fuqua</strong> spans the<br />

globe by joining forces with other schools, organizations<br />

and businesses. In our second feature, you will<br />

see that there is always strength in numbers, so by<br />

creating alliances with others, we can strengthen our<br />

ties in other countries and get the <strong>Fuqua</strong> name out to<br />

a broader audience. We recently saw an example <strong>of</strong><br />

this with our International MBA conference in<br />

Geneva. <strong>Fuqua</strong>, in conjunction with the <strong>Duke</strong> Law<br />

<strong>School</strong>, hosted a great conference that allowed alumni<br />

and friends from around the world to network at a<br />

lifelong learning event.<br />

The positioning and branding <strong>of</strong> The <strong>Duke</strong> MBA<br />

is not something that happens by chance. Our positioning<br />

tactics are very strategic in nature, and we use<br />

many avenues to get the <strong>Duke</strong> and <strong>Fuqua</strong> names out<br />

into the marketplace. We must try to position ourselves<br />

ahead <strong>of</strong> our competitors, all the while keeping<br />

the value <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Duke</strong> MBA as high as possible. We<br />

are seeking the competitive advantage that will put<br />

us ahead <strong>of</strong> other schools and keep us in the top tier<br />

<strong>of</strong> business schools in the world. Our alumni have<br />

been very helpful (especially outside the United<br />

States) in helping us get our message and the <strong>Duke</strong><br />

brand out.<br />

Globalization is a huge part <strong>of</strong> industry today. One<br />

<strong>of</strong> our Board <strong>of</strong> Visitors members, Bill Priest, did a<br />

study on the law <strong>of</strong> comparative advantage in the<br />

context <strong>of</strong> the production <strong>of</strong> goods in different countries<br />

around the world. His study, which you can read<br />

about in this issue, shows the impact that one country’s<br />

economy has on a multitude <strong>of</strong> others. It is this<br />

interconnection that makes the world a smaller<br />

place. This holds true for the economies <strong>of</strong> the world<br />

and in smaller part, for our own business school. By<br />

keeping the <strong>Fuqua</strong> community connected, our<br />

school can continue to grow while maintaining the<br />

collaborative spirit and sense <strong>of</strong> community that is<br />

so prevalent in our everyday lives.<br />

We hope that our alumni and friends will continue<br />

to help us in building the <strong>Duke</strong> brand<br />

throughout the world.<br />

Onward and upward!<br />

Faculty News<br />

Two faculty members, Associate Pr<strong>of</strong>essors Janet Bercovitz and Bob<br />

Clemen, have been awarded research grants funded by National Science<br />

Foundation. Bercovitz’s two-year project concerns a study <strong>of</strong> evolving<br />

university-industry relationships from the less frequently examined firm’s<br />

perspective. Her research will contribute to an understanding <strong>of</strong> how university<br />

interaction fits within the firm’s R&D strategy and examine the effects <strong>of</strong> firm<br />

strategy and organizational structure on the types <strong>of</strong> technology-transfer<br />

mechanisms employed by the firm and the ultimate relationship the firm<br />

maintains with the university. Clemens research project considers the role<br />

that expert opinions play in the evaluation <strong>of</strong> technical projects (for example,<br />

anti-terrorism or computer-protection programs). Psychological research<br />

suggests that expert opinions can be biased in systematic ways, and Clemen’s<br />

work looks for ways to correct those biases.<br />

Arie Y. Lewin, pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> business administration and sociology and<br />

IBM research fellow, was selected as the recipient <strong>of</strong> the <strong>2003</strong> Academy <strong>of</strong><br />

Management’s Distinguished Service Award. This is one <strong>of</strong> the highest honors<br />

bestowed on members <strong>of</strong> the Academy. The award citation acknowledged<br />

Lewin’s contributions to the field through his editorial positions with<br />

Management Science, his role as editor-in-chief <strong>of</strong> the Journal <strong>of</strong><br />

International Business Studies, and most notably, the founding and<br />

development <strong>of</strong> Organizational Science, which in a relatively short period<br />

<strong>of</strong> time has become a premier journal in the field. He was further cited for<br />

his initiation <strong>of</strong> innovative conferences with those journals and was the first<br />

organizationally focused, full-time program director for Decision, Risk and<br />

Management Science at National Science Foundation.<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essors James Bettman and Richard Staelin in marketing and Wesley<br />

Cohen and Gerardine DeSanctis in management have received the designation<br />

“Highly Cited Researcher” by the Institute for Scientific Information<br />

(ISI) and are included in ISIHighlyCited.com. ISI has collected cited references<br />

from many millions <strong>of</strong> articles in 21 categories in the years 1981–1999,<br />

resulting in almost 5 million unique author names to yield the initial list for<br />

investigation by the editorial staff. For the initial phase <strong>of</strong> development <strong>of</strong><br />

ISIHighlyCited.com, categories <strong>of</strong> at least 100 researchers from a list <strong>of</strong> the<br />

top 250 most cited names in that category are being released. Inclusion <strong>of</strong><br />

four <strong>Fuqua</strong> faculty members is a highly prestigious honor.<br />

Outstanding Faculty Growth<br />

In 2000, the top priority <strong>of</strong> the five-year strategic plan <strong>of</strong> having 95 faculty members by 2005 seemed to be an ambitious goal.<br />

In <strong>2003</strong>, that goal has been surpassed with another record-setting recruiting year <strong>of</strong> 16 new hires. <strong>Fuqua</strong> now counts a total<br />

<strong>of</strong> 99 tenure track faculty members and moves ever closer to the next goal <strong>of</strong> reaching a critical mass <strong>of</strong> 115 faculty members<br />

by 2008.<br />

While building critical mass in all academic areas, finance recruited seven new members for their best recruiting year in<br />

the history <strong>of</strong> the school. Dean Breeden, a long-time <strong>Fuqua</strong> faculty member himself, said “<strong>Fuqua</strong> is big news in the faculty<br />

recruiting market. The academic world is buzzing about who we have recruited.”<br />

MBA International Conference in Geneva<br />

The <strong>Fuqua</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> Business<br />

<strong>Duke</strong> alumni and friends gather outside the Chateau de Vullierens<br />

Guests enjoy a celebratory dinner at the Chateau<br />

<strong>Fuqua</strong> alumni and friends gathered recently in Switzerland for the <strong>Duke</strong> MBA International Conference<br />

in Geneva. The event, held July 19–20, was a smashing success. <strong>Fuqua</strong> joined with <strong>Duke</strong> Law graduates<br />

for an outstanding program featuring faculty, alumni and guest speakers. The weekend kicked <strong>of</strong>f with<br />

dinner and a cruise on Lake Geneva.<br />

Saturday events started with a panel discussion on corporate governance, coordinated by Stephen<br />

Wallenstein, executive director <strong>of</strong> <strong>Duke</strong>’s Global Capital Markets Center. The conference continued with<br />

a presentation by Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Sim Sitkin on the topic <strong>of</strong> neglected leadership in mergers and acquisitions.<br />

The final seminar was a panel discussion in which Dean Douglas T. Breeden, William W. Priest,<br />

co-managing partner and portfolio manager <strong>of</strong> Steinberg Priest & Sloane Capital Management LLC, and<br />

Richard D. Pilnik, president <strong>of</strong> european operations for Eli Lilly and Company, addressed the dynamics<br />

Dean Douglas Breeden (l)<br />

The highlight <strong>of</strong> the weekend was the Saturday evening gala when J.B. <strong>Fuqua</strong> and other conference<br />

with J.B. <strong>Fuqua</strong> (r) in Geneva<br />

delegates traveled into the Swiss countryside to the Chateau de Vullierens to celebrate <strong>Fuqua</strong>’s continued<br />

success.<br />

STUDENTS HELPING STUDENTS AT THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA<br />

Chris Ringlstetter came to China as a member <strong>of</strong> The <strong>Duke</strong> MBA–Global<br />

Executive class <strong>of</strong> <strong>2003</strong> for an intensive study <strong>of</strong> global marketing, economics<br />

and finance. He left two weeks later as an educational benefactor for a class<br />

<strong>of</strong> children.<br />

While on the Asian residency in February <strong>2003</strong>, Ringlstetter, an executive<br />

with Ingersoll-Rand in Italy, and his Global Executive colleagues created an<br />

education fund for a group <strong>of</strong> children they met during a team-building exercise<br />

on the Great Wall <strong>of</strong> China.<br />

Team-Building on Wheels<br />

Every Global Executive class has a two-week residency in Asia, where students<br />

combine intense classroom learning with company site visits, guest speakers<br />

and team-building exercises.<br />

For the Global Executive classes that have studied in Beijing, a memorable<br />

cultural, team-building exercise has been the side trip to the Great Wall <strong>of</strong><br />

China, where the executive students, equipped with ropes and harnesses, work<br />

in teams to repel down the side <strong>of</strong> the world famous landmark. This year, the<br />

Global Executive administrative staff added an additional team-building activity<br />

on the wall. This activity included assembling 20 bicycles with a group <strong>of</strong><br />

local children from the He Deng Hao school. The Global Executive program<br />

would then donate the finished bicycles to the children.<br />

Quick Thinking<br />

During the bicycle building activity, Ringlstetter became interested in the children<br />

and wanted to learn other ways the Global Executive class might be able<br />

to help them. In his investigation, he discovered the heartbreaking fact that<br />

financial hardships would soon cause many <strong>of</strong> the children to drop out <strong>of</strong><br />

school and discontinue their education. Since the Global Executive students<br />

were bound for a busy week <strong>of</strong> study in Hong Kong, followed by a return to<br />

their homes across the globe, Ringlstetter knew he had to act fast if he wanted<br />

to help these kids.<br />

Ringlstetter and fellow students Heidi Miller and Evandro Reis spoke to the<br />

rest <strong>of</strong> their class and decided to establish the <strong>Duke</strong>-Great Wall Education<br />

Fund. This meant taking time out <strong>of</strong> their full schedules to organize the program<br />

and taking money out <strong>of</strong> their own pockets to fund it. The entire Global<br />

Executive class contributed, and by the end <strong>of</strong> the residency the fund reached<br />

its goal <strong>of</strong> $2,500.<br />

Team <strong>Fuqua</strong><br />

From the initial bicycle donation to Chris Ringlstetter’s organizational initiative<br />

to the generosity <strong>of</strong> the class as a whole, the team-building activities <strong>of</strong> the <strong>2003</strong><br />

Global Executive residency in Asia did a lot more than just strengthen the bonds<br />

<strong>of</strong> the student teams. It gave a group <strong>of</strong> executives the unforgettable experience <strong>of</strong><br />

brightening the lives <strong>of</strong> a less privileged, but no less deserving, group <strong>of</strong> students.<br />

The hard work and the charitable actions <strong>of</strong> the Global Executive students<br />

and staff are the embodiment <strong>of</strong> <strong>Fuqua</strong>’s pledge to “Educate Thoughtful<br />

Business Leaders Worldwide.” <strong>Fuqua</strong> is proud to be represented by the Global<br />

Executive class <strong>of</strong> <strong>2003</strong>.


IMPACT: Jordan and QIZs over <strong>Fall</strong> Break:<br />

Eye-Opening for <strong>Fuqua</strong>ns<br />

BY NICK FELTEN, CLASS OF <strong>2003</strong> AND JON BOCK, CLASS OF 2004<br />

With instability, suicide bombers and fighting in Iraq,<br />

the Middle East is a great place to visit now—or so must<br />

have been the logic <strong>of</strong> the International Marketing<br />

PrACTicum (IMPACT). During this last year’s fall<br />

break, our group headed to Amman, Jordan, as part <strong>of</strong><br />

our IMPACT project. IMPACT is a for-credit program in<br />

which teams <strong>of</strong> <strong>Fuqua</strong> students work with a foreign<br />

company on a consulting engagement related to entering<br />

or expanding in the U.S. market. Our client<br />

company was Resources Company for Development and<br />

Investment, part <strong>of</strong> a conglomerate controlled by the<br />

Muasher family <strong>of</strong> Jordan. Our assignment was to market<br />

Qualified Industrial Zones (QIZs). After the 1994<br />

Jordan-Israel peace treaty, the United States made<br />

Jordan one <strong>of</strong> four countries (Canada, Mexico and Israel<br />

are the others) in which companies in QIZs, whose<br />

products have a minimum percentage <strong>of</strong> local content,<br />

can export to the U.S. tariff and quota-free.<br />

While visiting our client, we also had the opportunity<br />

to see and do some incredible things. Some highlights:<br />

Dinner the first night. Our host took us to a popular<br />

Amman restaurant. We started with mezze, roughly 20<br />

bowls <strong>of</strong> different substances —the standard hummus<br />

and couscous as well as other things I’d never seen<br />

before—plus large helpings <strong>of</strong> pita-like bread. There<br />

were also foods reminiscent <strong>of</strong> Spanish-style tapas. We<br />

stuffed ourselves silly, only to find out that the main<br />

course still awaited us. So we stuffed ourselves even<br />

sillier with large amounts <strong>of</strong> lamb and chicken. Then<br />

came dessert, an excellent cross between baklava and an<br />

éclair. We also tried the local specialty liquor, a licoriceflavored<br />

beverage called araq.<br />

The Dead Sea. At about 400 meters below sea level, the<br />

Dead Sea’s shoreline is the lowest point in the world. Its<br />

water is about 30 percent salt, giving it many interesting<br />

properties. Most famously, it is impossible to sink. As<br />

you walk out into deeper water your feet are eventually<br />

The <strong>Fuqua</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> Business<br />

IMPACT team members pose with the Bedouin guards inside the Treasury<br />

forced up and you start to float completely effortlessly.<br />

However, the flotation has its downside: instant<br />

awareness <strong>of</strong> every scratch on your body, no matter<br />

how microscopic.<br />

Petra. Petra is an ancient city and capital <strong>of</strong> a former<br />

trade empire founded by the Nabateans, a people first<br />

mentioned in the seventh century B.C. Petra had fresh<br />

water and occupied a strategic spot which allowed the<br />

Nabateans to control trade patterns, making Petra a<br />

place <strong>of</strong> great wealth in its day. It is best known as the<br />

setting <strong>of</strong> the final scenes <strong>of</strong> “Indiana Jones and the Last<br />

Crusade.” Remember that stone building carved into a<br />

cliff? That’s the Treasury in Petra.<br />

Jordan was a great place to visit. It’s been a safe and<br />

stable country for years and should not be confused with<br />

the less stable countries it borders. For an experience <strong>of</strong>f<br />

the beaten path, don’t be too quick to write it <strong>of</strong>f.<br />

While visiting New York City to host an information session<br />

for prospective students, Daytime Admissions Director, Liz<br />

Riley, and about 20 alumni went to dinner after the session at<br />

Ruby Foo’s in Times Square. It was there that the <strong>Fuqua</strong><br />

crowd noticed Hulk Hogan, the infamous wrestler, now television<br />

actor.<br />

“We noticed Mr. Hogan sitting at a table nearby, and one <strong>of</strong><br />

our alumni dared me to go arm wrestle him,” Riley stated.<br />

“And anyone who knows me knows that I would never pass<br />

up that type <strong>of</strong> challenge.”<br />

Preparing the Way for Future Leaders<br />

Over the summer, <strong>Fuqua</strong> welcomed 30 academically-gifted<br />

high school students to the 19th annual Leadership<br />

Education and Development program known as LEAD. The<br />

program embraced the challenge <strong>of</strong> preparing a new generation<br />

<strong>of</strong> leaders. Students in the program were exposed to the<br />

excitement <strong>of</strong> business with classroom instruction, teambased<br />

projects and corporate visits. The students were<br />

introduced to a variety <strong>of</strong> industries such as banking, consulting,<br />

pharmaceuticals and technology. This broad<br />

exposure allowed them to gain an understanding <strong>of</strong> corporate<br />

and entrepreneurial organizations, and helped them develop<br />

the skills, knowledge and values that they will need in college<br />

and in their eventual careers.<br />

LEAD Program Director Joel Huber is consistently impressed<br />

with the caliber <strong>of</strong> students in the program. “I am pleased to<br />

report that the members <strong>of</strong> this class have grown in stature and<br />

ability,” Huber stated. “We look forward to watching them take<br />

their places as leaders in all fields <strong>of</strong> human endeavor.”<br />

Riley was the overall favorite.

FUQUA TAILORS EXECUTIVE EDUCATION PROGRAMS TO SUIT INDIVIDUAL ORGANIZATIONS<br />

Three years ago, <strong>Fuqua</strong> decided to complement its general<br />

management non-degree executive education programs with<br />

aselection <strong>of</strong> specialized courses.These highly focused courses<br />

develop specific skills in areas such as finance, accounting,<br />

leadership, strategy and marketing.<br />

Now, in response to growing demand, <strong>Fuqua</strong>’s top-ranked<br />

executive education <strong>of</strong>fers tailored versions <strong>of</strong> these specialized<br />

courses adapted for individual organizations.<br />

Added Flexibility<br />

For <strong>Fuqua</strong> to remain a top provider <strong>of</strong> executive education, it<br />

must keep pace with market demand. Interest in flexible,<br />

adapted solutions continues to grow, and organizations are<br />

discovering that tailored programs delivered to groups<br />

<strong>of</strong> managers and executives can provide a quick, efficient<br />

return on investment. And adapting a program from a wellestablished<br />

course is frequently more economical than trying<br />

to develop a completely custom solution. <strong>Fuqua</strong> has developed<br />

tailored versions <strong>of</strong> its leadership programs for the<br />

telecommunications industry, health care associations, the<br />

pharmaceutical industry and the United States Department<br />

<strong>of</strong> Justice.<br />

Another advantage <strong>of</strong> tailored programs is location flexibility.<br />

A program tailored for a specific organization can be<br />

delivered at the organization’s headquarters, <strong>Duke</strong>’s R. David<br />

Thomas Center or any location in the world convenient for<br />

the organization.<br />

Variety <strong>of</strong> Courses<br />

Each <strong>of</strong> <strong>Fuqua</strong>’s non-degree programs can be adapted for<br />

specific organizations. At the core <strong>of</strong> <strong>Fuqua</strong>’s non-degree<br />

executive education is the Advanced Management Program, a<br />

multi-week general management course designed to advance<br />

participants’ leadership abilities through personal development<br />

activities that improve management skills and<br />

effectiveness in the workplace.<br />

The <strong>Fuqua</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> Business<br />

In addition, <strong>Fuqua</strong>’s specialized programs are:<br />

• Financial Reporting for Non-Financial Managers<br />

• Innovative Leadership<br />

• Business Improvisation<br />

• Managing Customer Value<br />

For the second consecutive year, the non-degree executive<br />

Focus on an MBA Student’s Perspective<br />

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT<br />

BY ANGELA THOMAS<br />

As chief operating <strong>of</strong>ficer for Mobility Electronics Inc., Global<br />

Executive student Tim Jeffries is responsible for the global initiatives,<br />

activities and performance <strong>of</strong> sales, marketing,<br />

services, operations and engineering. And as a member <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Mobility’s executive committee, Jeffries partners with the CEO<br />

and CFO to lead the collaborative evolution and execution <strong>of</strong><br />

the company’s vision, mission, values, strategy, objectives and<br />

initiatives. In short, his shared responsibility is to build a<br />

great company.<br />

With those responsibilities being no short order, Jeffries’<br />

recurring thoughts about getting an MBA always seemed to get<br />

put on hold. His pr<strong>of</strong>essional and personal responsibilities<br />

took precedence. But after his wife persevered and managed to<br />

complete her doctorate in organizational leadership, Jeffries<br />

became inspired and decided it was time for him to take the<br />

plunge into higher education.<br />

When deciding which MBA program to attend, Jeffries said<br />

the decision was an easy one. “I selected the Global Executive<br />

MBA program at <strong>Fuqua</strong> because it <strong>of</strong>fered the academic excellence,<br />

global perspective, executive interaction and time<br />

flexibility that I desired,” Jeffries stated. “I could not find<br />

another program that <strong>of</strong>fered all <strong>of</strong> those things and the<br />

esteemed reputation <strong>of</strong> <strong>Duke</strong>. In the end, the decision was very<br />

straightforward.”<br />

When thinking about his goals for the future, Jeffries has his<br />

plans well thought out. “My goals are to lead a publicly-traded<br />

company as the chief executive <strong>of</strong>ficer and ultimately serve as<br />

the chairman <strong>of</strong> the board,” he said. “I would eventually like to<br />

serve as director on several company boards, provide mentoring<br />

and coaching to up-and-coming executives and possibly<br />

write a book on the trials and tribulations <strong>of</strong> leadership.”<br />

Jeffries admits that he cannot image trying to achieve all <strong>of</strong><br />

these goals without the help <strong>of</strong> his <strong>Duke</strong> MBA.<br />

“I selected the Global Executive MBA<br />

program at <strong>Fuqua</strong> because it <strong>of</strong>fered<br />

the academic excellence, global<br />

perspective, executive interaction<br />

and time flexibility that I desired.”<br />

TIM JEFFRIES<br />

Global Executive<br />

Class <strong>of</strong> <strong>2003</strong><br />

He acknowledges that the Global Executive program has<br />

helped him be a better executive for his company and a better<br />

leader to the people who work for him.<br />

And while the program has been invaluable, he confesses<br />

that it has not been easy. “The rigorous demands <strong>of</strong> the program<br />

have challenged me academically, pr<strong>of</strong>essionally,<br />

personally and physically,” Jeffries said. “The nature <strong>of</strong> the<br />

program has catalyzed a level <strong>of</strong> focus on my key priorities<br />

that is difficult to describe, but remarkable to experience. I do<br />

not sleep much, but I have never been more productive. The<br />

program works with my schedule because I am committed to<br />

making it work.”<br />

Born in Reno, Nevada, and raised in Sacramento, California,<br />

Jeffries graduated from Santa Clara University with a bachelor’s<br />

degree in political science. It was at this Jesuit college that<br />

he met his wife, Mary Frances.With two daughters and a weekly<br />

commute from Southern California to Phoenix, Arizona,<br />

Jeffries has to set priorities and stick to them. He also receives<br />

a lot <strong>of</strong> support from his classmates. “Our class has established<br />

an extraordinary culture and spirit,” Jeffries boasted. “We work<br />

hard, and we support each other. I feel that our class is a splendid<br />

testament to the culture felt at <strong>Fuqua</strong>.”<br />

Scheduled to graduate in December, Jeffries is looking forward<br />

to regaining some free time that began dwindling away<br />

with the start <strong>of</strong> the program. “Before the program, I used to<br />

spend my free time working out, playing golf and following<br />

politics,” Jeffries said. “But given the omnipresent demands <strong>of</strong><br />

school, work and family, my current hobby is taking naps.”

STAYING CONNECTED<br />

FEATURE BY PAMELA BABCOCK<br />

When engineer Dave Raaf (Global Executive class <strong>of</strong> <strong>2003</strong>)<br />

researched business schools, he quickly nixed programs that<br />

would have restricted his business travel. Working on an<br />

ExxonMobil Development Co. pipeline project <strong>of</strong>f the coast <strong>of</strong><br />

Nigeria required more than a year in Paris and frequent travel<br />

in Europe, Indonesia and Malaysia. <strong>Fuqua</strong>’s use <strong>of</strong> technology<br />

meant Raaf could stay on the job without making weekend<br />

trips to a home campus.<br />

“<strong>Fuqua</strong> has made it very easy to stay connected,” Raaf says<br />

from Paris, adding that “the tools available electronically are<br />

fantastic. It provides the best solution for me whether I’m in<br />

Houston, Paris, Jakarta or enjoying a layover in an airport.”<br />

<strong>Fuqua</strong>’s a leader in connecting with students, alums, friends<br />

and others—whether they’re in Durham or continents away—<br />

with technology that’s exciting, innovative, people-oriented<br />

and thoughtful.<br />

On any given day, Raaf’s pr<strong>of</strong>essors use a virtual learning<br />

environment that includes bulletin boards, chat tools, CDs,<br />

flash presentations, audio files and e-mail “to teach and learn<br />

with us,” he says. Recently, Economics Pr<strong>of</strong>essor James Anton<br />

immersed students in video segments from The Maltese<br />

Falcon, The Princess Bride and Dr. Strangelove to demonstrate<br />

game theory, while Pr<strong>of</strong>essors Gerry DeSanctis, Bob Price and<br />

<strong>Fuqua</strong> alumnus, Gary Mayo ’98, led chats on technology management<br />

and corporate responsibility.<br />

“One thing that has helped to take the school forward is this<br />

unique and thoughtful approach,” says Nevin Fouts, <strong>Fuqua</strong>’s<br />

associate dean for information technology. “The sense <strong>of</strong> connectiveness<br />

is critical to all <strong>of</strong> <strong>Fuqua</strong>’s environments—for<br />

folks who are largely here at the Durham campus or who are<br />

not connected because they are separated by distance.”<br />

“Place and space” is <strong>Fuqua</strong>’s signature approach to learning,<br />

and is perhaps most evident in the Global Executive program,<br />

which debuted in 1996. During the 19-month program, multidisciplined<br />

student teams convene face-to-face only five times<br />

with faculty in North America, Europe, Asia and South<br />

America. Between residential sessions, faculty members deliver<br />

instruction using interactive, distance-education technology<br />

designed to complement and extend the classroom experience.<br />

The approach is also used in the Cross Continent and Weekend<br />

Executive MBA programs.<br />

“A lot <strong>of</strong> times people think distance learning is almost as<br />

good as being there, but we actually think the mixture <strong>of</strong> ‘place<br />

and space’ makes the experience stronger,” says Pete Goldberg,<br />

director <strong>of</strong> <strong>Fuqua</strong>’s Center for Excellence in Business<br />

Education and Distributed Learning Support. “We’re working<br />

with a population <strong>of</strong> students that are engaged in their jobs<br />

while they are in school, and who are based all over the world.<br />

They bring that perspective into the program.”<br />

Students not only benefit from others’ international work<br />

and cultural experiences, but technology may even level the<br />

playing field. A student reticent to participate in a classroom<br />

because <strong>of</strong> personality or cultural issues “may actually thrive in<br />

an environment using technology,” Goldberg says. For example,<br />

students for whom English is not their native language may<br />

flourish on discussion boards, where they can read and digest<br />

information before formulating a response.<br />

<strong>Fuqua</strong> has a staff <strong>of</strong> IT pr<strong>of</strong>essionals supporting distance<br />

education,including content developers who work with faculty<br />

to create programs, s<strong>of</strong>tware engineers who can build small<br />

applications or distance learning tools and support staff who<br />

can help put up web sites, train students and faculty and<br />

troubleshoot problems.<br />

<strong>Fuqua</strong>’s overall web space includes its external web and the<br />

<strong>Fuqua</strong>World intranet, where students, faculty and staff can reference<br />

events, view announcements, look up classmate<br />

pictures, search for alumni and watch multimedia messages<br />

from <strong>Fuqua</strong> leaders and service organizations. There’s also a<br />

link for executive MBA students to virtual learning environments,<br />

and AlumniLink, which features links to <strong>Fuqua</strong> news,<br />

events and directories, as well as <strong>Fuqua</strong>’s career management<br />

center, <strong>Duke</strong> Corporate Education, lifetime e-mail forwarding,<br />

the <strong>Fuqua</strong> Store and more. All are connected through the<br />

Internet.<br />

“The AlumniLink has worked pretty well for me,” says<br />

Jordan Friedman ’04, an intern with IBM’s Blue Fusion project<br />

in Raleigh. “Technologically, being able to search by different<br />

fields for alums by companies or by geographic region and


class, has been very useful, and I’m really eager to see all the<br />

improvements that are being made to it.”<br />

On campus in Durham, <strong>Fuqua</strong>’s high-speed wireless network<br />

provides “anywhere” access, so students can use laptops,<br />

handheld devices or tablet computers to check mail or access<br />

information anywhere, even on the outdoor patio.<br />

Not one to rest on its technology laurels, in recent years<br />

<strong>Fuqua</strong> has developed a series <strong>of</strong> strategic partnerships to<br />

extend the way it connects. <strong>Fuqua</strong>’s now working with Nortel<br />

Networks in Research Triangle Park to test a new multimedia<br />

collaboration technology which allows students to meet, connect<br />

and interact using different devices.<br />

“If they can get an Internet connection, they can place a<br />

call, have a video conference and instant message from anywhere<br />

in the world, be it in a hotel or an Internet café,” says<br />

Albert Hitchcock, chief information <strong>of</strong>ficer for Nortel<br />

Networks. “It’s a very powerful thing.”<br />

The technology also allows access to integrated directory<br />

services from PCs and other devices, such as cell phones, laptops,<br />

tablet computers or PDAs, and will be tested by <strong>Fuqua</strong><br />

students, faculty and staff in a pilot this fall.<br />

“<strong>Fuqua</strong> has made it very easy to<br />

stay connected,” Raaf says from<br />

Paris, adding that “the tools<br />

available electronically are<br />

fantastic. It provides the best<br />

solution for me whether I’m in<br />

Houston, Paris, Jakarta or<br />

enjoying a layover in an airport.”<br />

In the end, however, Raaf says technologies that keep<br />

<strong>Fuqua</strong> connected “are more than just the chips and discs” and<br />

that the people side <strong>of</strong> the program— the technologies <strong>of</strong><br />

teamwork— also set <strong>Fuqua</strong> apart. For example, Global<br />

Executive Program Manager Jalene Bowersmith tracked a<br />

package <strong>of</strong> reading materials after snafus with Raaf’s apartment<br />

security and a series <strong>of</strong> botched deliveries in Paris sent<br />

it across the Atlantic three times. Meanwhile, Gordon Wang<br />

<strong>of</strong> the distributed learning support center helped Raaf with<br />

dysfunctional ISP accounts “more times than I can remember,”<br />

eventually letting Raaf use one <strong>of</strong> his personal accounts<br />

until the problem was resolved.<br />

<strong>Fuqua</strong> is clearly enjoying the fruits <strong>of</strong> many years <strong>of</strong> growing<br />

its digital and human technologies. Both are critical to the<br />

<strong>Fuqua</strong> experience.<br />

“We expect our students will most always say <strong>Fuqua</strong> technology<br />

is great,” Fouts says. “But the experience <strong>of</strong> creating<br />

and delivering an overall educational experience is what we’re<br />

here to do, and that involves both high tech and high touch.”<br />

FUQUA EXCHANGE<br />

JOINING FORCES<br />

FEATURE BY ANGELA THOMAS<br />

The <strong>Fuqua</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> Business is quickly becoming a recognized<br />

name around the world as a leader in business education.<br />

By joining forces with others, <strong>Fuqua</strong> has increased its reputation<br />

in the worldwide arena. The saying that “no man is an<br />

island” would also hold true for schools. It takes collaboration<br />

with others to become and remain strong. <strong>Fuqua</strong> has mastered<br />

this concept with the many alliances and programs it has established<br />

over the years.<br />

There are many arenas, both domestically and internationally,<br />

in which <strong>Fuqua</strong> collaborates with others. One example <strong>of</strong> this<br />

is the Global Academic Travel Experience or GATE courses.<br />

This year, <strong>Fuqua</strong> is <strong>of</strong>fering upwards <strong>of</strong> seven courses in the<br />

Daytime program. Of those being <strong>of</strong>fered, two new courses will<br />

include separate studies about Cuba and India. These courses<br />

provide an opportunity for students to expand their international<br />

scope by studying for six weeks about a region or a<br />

country before traveling overseas for 10 to 14 days to learn<br />

about the business, government, economics and culture.<br />

This will be the third year for the Weekend Executive MBA<br />

students to participate in the GATE courses by studying and<br />

visiting Western Europe. This year, the students will visit<br />

Brussels, Frankfurt and Budapest. Tim Zacher, program assistant<br />

for the international center, acknowledges that the<br />

partnership <strong>of</strong> the multinational corporations, as well as local<br />

and regional companies, is really the differentiating factor that<br />

proves to make these courses a success. “The partnership with<br />

these companies is essential to our program,” Zacher stated.<br />

“The program exposes our students to the various companies<br />

<strong>of</strong> the region, but at the same time, gets the <strong>Fuqua</strong> name out to<br />

companies and organizations around the world that might not<br />

otherwise have interaction with our school.”<br />

Another program that relies heavily on partnerships is<br />

<strong>Fuqua</strong>’s International <strong>Exchange</strong> Program. <strong>Fuqua</strong> has exchange<br />

relationships with 26 international partner institutions around<br />

the world, 17 <strong>of</strong> which are part <strong>of</strong> the Programme in<br />

International Management or PIM network <strong>of</strong> business or economic<br />

schools. The international program <strong>of</strong>fers students the<br />

opportunity to get a global perspective from their MBA degree<br />

by allowing them to have total immersion into a foreign culture.<br />

At the same time <strong>Fuqua</strong> students are heading abroad,<br />

students from the various partner schools from around the<br />

world converge on <strong>Fuqua</strong>. These students become immersed<br />

into the American culture and the <strong>Fuqua</strong> experience. Once<br />

they return to their respective countries, the students act as<br />

ambassadors in spreading the word worldwide about the<br />

school and its unique culture.<br />

Wendy Sheets, program coordinator for the <strong>Fuqua</strong> <strong>Exchange</strong><br />

Program, is also responsible for the MBA Enterprise Corps.<br />

This program is another good example <strong>of</strong> <strong>Fuqua</strong> aligning with<br />

others to get its name out. “The MBA Enterprise Corps, a division<br />

<strong>of</strong> Citizens Democracy Corps (CDC), is a non-pr<strong>of</strong>it<br />

volunteer organization founded in 1990 by a consortium <strong>of</strong><br />

leading U.S. business schools,” Sheets explained. “By being a<br />

member <strong>of</strong> this important organization, <strong>Fuqua</strong> recognizes that<br />

it takes a team effort to make a difference in the world. No<br />

school could do this alone. It takes a solid commitment and<br />

coalition and in turn puts our name out there with some <strong>of</strong> the<br />

best schools in the country.” Since its inception, the Corps has<br />

increased from 16 to 52 participating institutions. The mission<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Corps is to give recent MBA graduates the opportunity<br />

to spend approximately 15 months abroad in an emerging<br />

economy. The Corps is a unique partnership which allows students<br />

to learn international business and cross-cultural skills<br />

on-the-job by providing technical and managerial assistance to<br />

local managers who have limited practice working under a free<br />

market concept.<br />

Recent Cross Continent graduate, Jenny Raymond, accepted<br />

a position with the MBA Enterprise Corps after graduation


and is now working in Baku, Azerbaijan. She admits that the<br />

experience is going to be different but is looking forward to the<br />

challenge. “Everyone in Baku has been very welcoming,”<br />

Raymond said.“They like to talk about politics and history and<br />

are always asking me questions about my family, school and<br />

just about America in general. This program provides great<br />

exposure for me as well as for <strong>Fuqua</strong>.” Sheets is pleased that<br />

Raymond accepted the position.“It has been a number <strong>of</strong> years<br />

since <strong>Fuqua</strong> has sent a representative to the Corps,”Sheets stated.<br />

“I have no doubt that Jenny will represent <strong>Fuqua</strong> very well<br />

while abroad as she assists in the growth <strong>of</strong> the private sector<br />

in Azerbaijan.”<br />

The recent <strong>Duke</strong> MBA International Conference was comprised<br />

<strong>of</strong> a more local partnership, one between <strong>Fuqua</strong> and the<br />

<strong>Duke</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> Law. Held in Geneva, the event allowed alumni<br />

and friends the opportunity to network while participating in<br />

informative programs. Topics included corporate governance,<br />

neglected leadership in mergers and acquisitions and the<br />

dynamics <strong>of</strong> global business and economics. The conference<br />

was a great combination <strong>of</strong> business and law, and provided a<br />

unified platform showing the overlap and relevance <strong>of</strong> each. It<br />

presented <strong>Duke</strong> with an opportunity to make its presence<br />

known in the European arena.<br />

In a recent alliance with Seoul National University, <strong>Fuqua</strong><br />

has again proven that with alliances, the school can become a<br />

stronger entity. Traditionally, the Cross Continent program<br />

held residencies only in North America and Europe. But a new<br />

alliance with Seoul National University will give Cross<br />

Continent students the opportunity to attend one residency in<br />

Korea as well as give Korean students an opportunity to study<br />

at <strong>Fuqua</strong>.“This alliance is exciting for the Cross Continent program,”<br />

said Dan Nagy, associate dean for admissions and<br />

recruiting. “We are broadening our presence in the Asian<br />

There are many arenas, both<br />

domestically and internationally, in<br />

which <strong>Fuqua</strong> collaborates with others.<br />

market and hope to recruit 22 Korean students for the Cross<br />

Continent class <strong>of</strong> 2006. This is a true partnership that will<br />

help us as we expand our reach into Asia.”<br />

<strong>Duke</strong> Corporate Education has long known the power <strong>of</strong><br />

joint ventures and alliances and has recently signed a “memorandum<br />

<strong>of</strong> understanding” with the London <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

Economics (LSE). In this partnership, <strong>Duke</strong> Corporate<br />

Education will work with LSE to develop customized executive<br />

education courses in the United Kingdom and Europe. “The<br />

strengths <strong>of</strong> <strong>Duke</strong> Corporate Education and LSE are extremely<br />

complementary,” said Bill Bigoness, academic project leader<br />

for <strong>Duke</strong> Corporate Education. “We can bring our expertise in<br />

customized executive education to LSE, and they can bring<br />

their expertise in economics and the social political environment<br />

to our courses.” In addition, Bigoness says that the<br />

response from the United Kingdom and European firms has<br />

been very positive. “By aligning ourselves with a top school in<br />

the UK, we are <strong>of</strong>fering European firms the best <strong>of</strong> the United<br />

States and the best <strong>of</strong> the United Kingdom all in one package,”<br />

he stated. “This will help further the <strong>Duke</strong>, <strong>Fuqua</strong> and <strong>Duke</strong><br />

Corporate Education brands in many places across Europe.”<br />

By reaching out and uniting with others, <strong>Fuqua</strong> can provide<br />

itself broader representation as well as a stronger presence<br />

across the world. This worldwide reach will benefit everyone in<br />

the long run and will keep the <strong>Fuqua</strong> name in the forefront<br />

when people think <strong>of</strong> top-rated business schools.<br />

BRANDING FUQUA<br />

FEATURE BY ASSOCIATE DEAN JIM GRAY<br />

WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON BRANDING OUR SCHOOL AND PRODUCTS VIA THE INTERNET.<br />

What do Wachovia Bank and <strong>Duke</strong>’s <strong>Fuqua</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> Business<br />

have in common? Both are extremely focused on their brands.<br />

Pick up the New York Times or Wall Street Journal, and you<br />

are likely to see a full-page ad by the bank that has this headline:<br />

Wa-Ko-Vee-Ah. The ad talks about the merger <strong>of</strong> First<br />

Union and Wachovia, good-naturedly educating readers about<br />

the new brand.<br />

And Few-Kwa? We, too, are extremely sensitive to not only<br />

how our external audiences pronounce our name, but also to<br />

what they think <strong>of</strong> us. Do prospective students and corporate<br />

executives see us as we see ourselves—innovative, collaborative<br />

with our Team <strong>Fuqua</strong> culture, and absolutely deserving to<br />

be regarded as a leader in the world <strong>of</strong> business schools? Will<br />

our brand help recruit more and better students and generate<br />

the kind <strong>of</strong> donor and corporate support needed to continue<br />

expanding our school?<br />

One small, yet powerful group <strong>of</strong> educators sees us in that<br />

elite group.The accreditation review team <strong>of</strong> deans that visited<br />

us recently from the Association to Advance Collegiate <strong>School</strong>s<br />

<strong>of</strong> Business (AACSB) wrote that our “brand development” has<br />

been “significant.” “This distinct, consistent and well-executed<br />

brand campaign is a benchmark for any business school seeking<br />

to develop its brand,” the report said.<br />

The current “campaign” at <strong>Fuqua</strong> is both a formal and informal<br />

effort to position <strong>Duke</strong> as a leader which deserves to be in<br />

that top echelon <strong>of</strong> international business schools. To take full<br />

advantage <strong>of</strong> the sterling brand image <strong>of</strong> <strong>Duke</strong> University, we<br />

emphasize <strong>Duke</strong> over “<strong>Fuqua</strong>” in all <strong>of</strong> our brand communications<br />

as evidenced by our logo. <strong>Duke</strong> is on a roll from a<br />

branding standpoint with unprecedented strides in academic<br />

reputation coupled with the hallowed basketball program led<br />

by a remarkable leader, Mike Krzyzewski.<br />

The other branding effort that is in its third year is the<br />

emphasis on “The <strong>Duke</strong> MBA,” which is our program brand or<br />

product brand. Because the increasing number and complexity<br />

<strong>of</strong> our MBA programs were confusing to key audiences, the<br />

decision was made to position The <strong>Duke</strong> MBA as one degree<br />

that is earned in four formats —daytime and three executive<br />

MBA programs. To further help outsiders understand our educational<br />

products, we also try to restrict to internal use the<br />

growing number <strong>of</strong> confusing acronyms such as CCMBA,<br />

WEMBA and GEMBA. The nomenclature now is to call them<br />

The <strong>Duke</strong> MBA– Global Executive and so forth.<br />

We spend a lot <strong>of</strong> time on branding our school and products<br />

via the Internet. Every day our web space gets better at branding<br />

us as a leader. We show <strong>of</strong>f our technology and innovation<br />

through the web as well. Perhaps no other school pushes more<br />

persuasive video through its web site to audiences or breaks<br />

new ground in inquiry flow and registration.<br />

The final plank in the current branding campaign is emphasis<br />

on <strong>Fuqua</strong>’s high rankings in various media surveys such as<br />

BusinessWeek and U.S. News & World Report. Like them or not,<br />

the surveys do rank the competing brands in prospective students’<br />

minds, especially overseas.<br />

So how is our branding coming along?<br />

Three <strong>of</strong> our top marketing faculty members agreed that we<br />

have made good progress in our branding but face a major<br />

challenge ahead to be in the brand league <strong>of</strong> Harvard, Wharton<br />

and a few other power brands in business schools.<br />

“We come across as young and aggressive, and much<br />

progress has been made in the last few years,” said Christine<br />

Moorman, marketing pr<strong>of</strong>essor and marketing area coordinator,<br />

“but many constituencies still view <strong>Fuqua</strong> as a regional<br />

school with a global presence. We are correct to describe ourselves<br />

as belonging among the best b-school brands in the<br />

world—our faculty has grown in size and quality to among<br />

some <strong>of</strong> the best in the world. When that fact catches up with<br />

beliefs, our reputation will soar to even greater heights.”<br />

John Lynch, the Merilee and Roy Bostock Family Pr<strong>of</strong>essor<br />

<strong>of</strong> Marketing, recently returned from a year’s teaching at the<br />

London <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> Business. He tells the story <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Duke</strong><br />

men’s basketball game in London last winter. Only about 200<br />

people attended—obviously not as excited about the Blue<br />

Devils as the Cameron Crazies. “Our brand is nowhere near as<br />

strong in Europe as it is the States,” Lynch said. “Sometimes we<br />

inflate our own importance, so it is important that we know<br />

that impressions move very slowly across the globe.”<br />

Lynch talked with numerous business people and potential<br />

MBA students while in London.“<strong>Duke</strong> and <strong>Fuqua</strong> did not have<br />

the top-<strong>of</strong>-mind awareness <strong>of</strong> European schools such as<br />

INSEAD, LBS or IMD that generally rank well below us in<br />

U.S.-based reputational rankings,” he said.


Lynch believes our increasing emphasis on leadership is consistent<br />

with what we want our brand to communicate. “Our<br />

work surrounding leadership can become a point <strong>of</strong> difference<br />

for us,” Lynch said, “but we are not there yet.”<br />

<strong>Fuqua</strong>’s current “leadership” initiatives include the Coach K<br />

and <strong>Fuqua</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> Business Conference on Leadership in<br />

October, the student leadership conference each April, leadership<br />

curriculum enhancements spearheaded by Pr<strong>of</strong>essors Sim<br />

Sitkin and Allan Lind, and a possible center for organizational<br />

leadership and ethics.<br />

Associate Pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> Marketing Carl Mela also believes<br />

such efforts to associate our brand with leadership are an<br />

effective “point <strong>of</strong> difference.” He said the increasing number<br />

<strong>of</strong> newspaper and magazine rankings <strong>of</strong> business schools is<br />

fortunate.<br />

“I view the proliferation <strong>of</strong> rankings as fortunate because the<br />

uncertainty it creates forces students to abstract away from<br />

simple numerical comparisons, and to look in great depth at<br />

what makes us unique,” he said. Mela believes our schoolwide<br />

strategy <strong>of</strong> enlarging our faculty is right on target. “The formula<br />

is that increasing the size <strong>of</strong> our faculty increases our<br />

(research) output, gets us attention, and thus increases our<br />

awareness,” he said.<br />

One other important branding effort centers on a new<br />

advertising campaign for our three executive MBA programs.<br />

Created with the McKinney + Silver advertising agency, the<br />

print and web campaign was launched early this fall. Its central<br />

objective is to generate interest in and applicants for our three<br />

programs around the world. Its core strategy is to emphasize<br />

“you are what you know.” By that, we mean that a highly flexible<br />

business education such as <strong>Duke</strong>’s is the key to not only<br />

business enlightenment, but also to attainment <strong>of</strong> career and<br />

lifestyle goals. If you know more, the campaign says, you will<br />

have the power to get where you want to be at work and at<br />

home and hopefully you will become a thoughtful business<br />

leader worldwide.<br />

Just as the AACSB said, it takes significant investments in<br />

time and money to brand a school successfully. We know that<br />

we will have to work harder and smarter than our older and<br />

better-known competitors. And we will.<br />

WHY THE WORLD WORKS IN THE LONG RUN:<br />

THE LAW OF COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE<br />

FEATURE BY WILLIAM W. PRIEST<br />

David Ricardo, a nineteenth century economist, first<br />

conceived the Law <strong>of</strong> Comparative Advantage in<br />

1817. The thesis <strong>of</strong> this law is that it is economically<br />

advantageous for countries to specialize in producing<br />

goods for international trade rather than solely for<br />

domestic consumption. The principle holds that even if two<br />

countries can produce the same commodities, it is in each <strong>of</strong><br />

their best interests to specialize in producing only one <strong>of</strong><br />

those commodities and trade it to accumulate the other.<br />

Moreover, specialization can be advantageous even when one<br />

<strong>of</strong> the countries can produce both goods more cheaply than<br />

the other country. Whenever there are differences in the relative<br />

efficiencies <strong>of</strong> producing the goods such that each<br />

country has a comparative advantage in the production <strong>of</strong><br />

one <strong>of</strong> the commodities, it is in each country’s best interest to<br />

specialize in the product that it can most efficiently produce.<br />

The following example can help to illustrate the operation <strong>of</strong><br />

the comparative advantage theory between two countries.<br />

COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE<br />

PRODUCT COUNTRY A COUNTRY B<br />

1 unit <strong>of</strong> food 1 day’s labor 3 days’ labor<br />

1 unit <strong>of</strong> clothing 2 day’s labor 4 days’ labor<br />

Prior to joining Steinberg Priest & Sloane Capital Management as<br />

a co-managing partner and portfolio manager/analyst, Priest was<br />

chairman and CEO <strong>of</strong> Credit Suisse Asset Management<br />

(Americas); CEO and portfolio manager <strong>of</strong> its predecessor firm<br />

BEA Associates, which he co-founded in 1972. During his 29 years<br />

at BEA/Credit Suisse, he developed the company into a well-recognized<br />

investment manager in both equities and fixed income asset<br />

classes. Priest is a graduate <strong>of</strong> <strong>Duke</strong> University and the University<br />

<strong>of</strong> Pennsylvania Wharton Graduate <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> Business. He is a<br />

CPA and CFA and author <strong>of</strong> several published articles and papers<br />

on investing and finance. Priest is a director <strong>of</strong> Globe Wireless,<br />

InfraReDx and member <strong>of</strong> <strong>Fuqua</strong>’s Board <strong>of</strong> Visitors.<br />

Although A is clearly more efficient than B in both products,<br />

its relative advantage is greater in food than clothing (1<br />

day versus 3 days <strong>of</strong> labor needed to produce one unit <strong>of</strong> food,<br />

compared to 2 days versus 4 days <strong>of</strong> labor needed to produce<br />

one unit <strong>of</strong> clothing). If Country A specializes in food and<br />

Country B specializes in clothing, the two countries can produce<br />

more units <strong>of</strong> food and clothing in any time period than<br />

if they operated separately and without regard to their relative<br />

efficiencies. By trading with one another, both countries will<br />

end up with a sum <strong>of</strong> food and clothing units greater than<br />

would be possible if each country’s’ production was solely for<br />

internal consumption.<br />

This compelling principle is driving the dual engines <strong>of</strong><br />

increased trade and globalization. They are further fueled by<br />

the fact that an economic world, dominated by the United<br />

States, Japan and Western Europe, has expanded by roughly<br />

three billion people since the fall <strong>of</strong> the Berlin Wall in 1989,<br />

and are both buyers and sellers <strong>of</strong> world goods. The integration<br />

<strong>of</strong> these newly economically liberated people continues<br />

to this day, causing, in many instances, considerable economic<br />

pain for the “old” developed world. As a result <strong>of</strong> the entrance<br />

<strong>of</strong> these new world citizens onto the global economic stage, foreign<br />

direct investment has found new locations, “old”<br />

manufacturing centers have lost some <strong>of</strong> their competitive<br />

advantages overnight, and the race to become or locate the<br />

low cost provider has accelerated at a speed never before<br />

imagined. Technology and telecommunications have been the<br />

rocket fuel for this evolution.<br />

Figures 1, 2 and 3 illustrate this point. Figures 1 and 2 indicate<br />

the location <strong>of</strong> the world’s present and anticipated<br />

population, labor if you will; Figure 3 illustrates the location<br />

<strong>of</strong> capital and technology in today’s world, which might be<br />

defined as wealth.


The law <strong>of</strong> comparative advantage should operate, in the<br />

long run, to create a more productive world. In the meantime,<br />

integrating three billion people into the world economy, when<br />

the bulk <strong>of</strong> those people are willing to work for less than a dollar<br />

an hour, is proving to be no easy task for the “old” developed<br />

nations. As production moves to the lowest cost source, what<br />

will happen to the standard <strong>of</strong> living <strong>of</strong> those “old” developed<br />

nations? Will their superior (in some cases) productivity (commonly<br />

measured by output per man-hour and unit labor costs)<br />

<strong>of</strong>fset the sheer size <strong>of</strong> those populations being integrated?<br />

Ultimately, economic law should rule. A new trade paradigm,<br />

derived from the application <strong>of</strong> the law <strong>of</strong> comparative<br />

advantage, should emerge. This paradigm will integrate the<br />

cheaper labor supply <strong>of</strong> the developing countries, as illustrated<br />

in Figures 1 and 2, with the superior capital and technology <strong>of</strong><br />

the developed countries, as seen in Figure 3, to create a more<br />

efficient world, with that efficiency inuring to the benefit <strong>of</strong> all<br />

<strong>of</strong> its citizens.<br />

Today’s challenge <strong>of</strong> integrating China with 1.3 billion people,<br />

India with over one billion people and a new Russia <strong>of</strong> over 200<br />

million citizens into the world economy will delay the timing but<br />

will not alter the end result <strong>of</strong> this economic evolution. The integration<br />

will take a long time, but the end result will be<br />

advantageous to the entire world. The law <strong>of</strong> comparative advantage,<br />

which will drive the solution, has simplicity and elegance at<br />

its core. But, like most economic laws, it contains “ceteris<br />

paribas” assumptions. For example, the theory disregards sticky<br />

issues like wages and prices, transitional inflationary and deflationary<br />

gaps, and balance <strong>of</strong> payments problems as well as<br />

matters <strong>of</strong> national need. For example, even though the United<br />

States is not the most efficient ship building nation, it maintains<br />

and subsidizes that industry for defense purposes.<br />

Although the flaws in the theory <strong>of</strong> the law <strong>of</strong> comparative<br />

advantage may slow down its operation, the law will nonetheless<br />

wend its way through the world <strong>of</strong> commerce, the “unseen<br />

hand” if you will. Over time, we should see evidence <strong>of</strong> its<br />

application by looking at world trade relative to world GNP.<br />

Increases in the ratio <strong>of</strong> world exports divided by world GNP<br />

will prove that the theory is working. If we see a declining ratio<br />

we can state that politics are driving economics with rising tariffs<br />

and quotas impeding this laws’ implementation. Economics<br />

should determine politics however, and if so, the world will<br />

work for all <strong>of</strong> its citizens.<br />

A message from the<br />

Director <strong>of</strong> Alumni Relations<br />

<strong>Fuqua</strong>’s Alumni Network —“Quality, not Quantity”<br />

I’ve learned a lot over the past year in my position as director <strong>of</strong><br />

alumni relations about <strong>Fuqua</strong> alumni and the value <strong>of</strong> our network.<br />

Overall I would whittle the learning down to one key<br />

cliché: “Quality, not quantity.”<br />

While our network has grown to just over 10,000 impressive<br />

alumni, it still is modest in comparison to our peers who boast<br />

larger populations <strong>of</strong> graduates. I’ve been asked on occasion if<br />

that can be seen as a drawback to <strong>Fuqua</strong>, and I’ve never had to<br />

hesitate in answering that, no, it’s not a drawback at all. In fact,<br />

I would argue that because we are smaller than our peers, and<br />

because we know it, we are more likely to respond to a request<br />

sent through our <strong>Fuqua</strong> network than perhaps an alumnus from<br />

another school. Our network may be leaner than others, but it’s<br />

certainly effective.<br />

In the past year I’ve worked with current students and alumni<br />

to help facilitate meetings and interactions between <strong>Fuqua</strong>ns<br />

and have been so impressed by the willingness for everyone to<br />

help out. The requests have ranged from getting information<br />

about a new city to finding other alumni in a similar career field<br />

to helping business students set up receptions or information<br />

sessions around the world. It’s nice to be part <strong>of</strong> a group where<br />

the standard response is “let me know how can I help.”<br />

What’s also been satisfying is the commitment <strong>of</strong> alumni to<br />

maintaining quality in the network. In speaking with one <strong>of</strong> my<br />

colleagues from the career management center, I’ve learned that<br />

alums will <strong>of</strong>ten pick up the phone to share feedback about the<br />

interview process and the preparedness <strong>of</strong> students. The spirit <strong>of</strong><br />

the feedback is productive, wanting to help make sure that individuals<br />

are representing themselves and the school in the best light<br />

so that recruiting efforts can continue and <strong>Fuqua</strong>’s good name be<br />

maintained. We ask that you keep picking up the phone and sending<br />

those e-mails. Quality is paramount, especially in this economy<br />

and with such strong competition from other MBA programs.<br />

The <strong>Fuqua</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> Business<br />

Thank you to those <strong>of</strong> you who have been an active part <strong>of</strong> the<br />

network for the important role you play in bolstering our most<br />

important resource as alumni. Every time you respond to an<br />

e-mail or phone call, every time you check the directory for<br />

someone who might help you, or every time you think that<br />

there must be someone at <strong>Fuqua</strong> who can be a resource for you,<br />

you’re keeping the network active and strong.<br />

Part <strong>of</strong> our goal in alumni relations is to provide the infrastructure<br />

to help you use the network as easily as possible.<br />

Continue to send us your feedback on how we’re doing, and<br />

we’ll continue to respond as best as we can. Look for big changes<br />

coming soon in the alumni web site that will address feedback<br />

you’ve sent in the past, enjoy the changes you’ve seen with our<br />

e-newsletter <strong>Fuqua</strong>Net, and look out for events being scheduled<br />

in your city with a local <strong>Fuqua</strong> or <strong>Duke</strong> alumni club. Volunteer<br />

to be your class’s correspondent and gather updates from your<br />

classmates to contribute to this magazine’s Class Notes section.<br />

Let us know when you’re back in town and if you’re able to<br />

link up with students and faculty. And most <strong>of</strong> all, be sure to<br />

keep your contact information up-to-date so we and your<br />

peers can reach you. Always feel free to send updates to<br />

alumni-info@fuqua.duke.edu or head to AlumniLink to change<br />

your pr<strong>of</strong>ile directly online, www.fuqua-alumnilink.duke.edu.<br />

You worked hard to earn your MBA, so be sure to take advantage<br />

<strong>of</strong> the network that comes with the degree; it’s just one <strong>of</strong> the many<br />

benefits that you deserve. For more information about additional<br />

alumni benefits, head to AlumniLink and check out what’s new.<br />

It’s a privilege to work with the alumni relations team to shepherd<br />

our network, and I look forward to continuously increasing<br />

the effectiveness and success <strong>of</strong> our community over time.<br />

HENRY<br />

DANZIGER<br />

CZECH MATE<br />

BY JOHN MANUEL<br />

As a boy growing up in Toledo, Ohio, Henry Danziger ’02 was<br />

particularly good at two things. “I was a technically astute tinkerer,<br />

always taking things apart, building model airplanes and<br />

cars,” Danziger recalls. “And I was a good negotiator. I remember<br />

talking my father into buying a sports car he wasn’t sure he<br />

wanted. I recognized that everyone has different interests and<br />

everyone has a common interest. The key to successful negotiation<br />

is finding that common interest.”<br />

In his teenage years, Danziger imparted his technical skills<br />

into summer jobs as a tow-truck driver, tire repairman and in<br />

assembly line work in a window and an ice cream factory. He<br />

acquired practical knowledge in how a range <strong>of</strong> service and<br />

manufacturing industries functioned and a familiarity with<br />

the people who worked in those jobs. At age 13, he participated<br />

in an exchange week with his middle school French class, traveling<br />

to France and Switzerland. “I enjoyed that week so much<br />

that I returned to Europe at least once a year after I turned 18,”<br />

he says. “I began to think it might be nice to live there.”<br />

Danziger’s ease in a European setting, combined with his<br />

technical acumen and skills as a negotiator, eventually led him<br />

into a job as a marketing engineer and later business development<br />

engineer with Westinghouse Process Control Europe<br />

where he developed and implemented marketing strategies in<br />

Europe and the Middle East, provided technical and commercial<br />

support to Westinghouse distributors in Germany, England,<br />

Israel, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, and negotiated joint ventures<br />

between Westinghouse and CEZ, the national power company in<br />

Czechoslovakia, a country that attracted his attention.<br />

Prague in the early 90’s was a hotbed <strong>of</strong> economic, political<br />

and social change. “There was no status quo; change was nonstop,”<br />

Danziger says. “Each day meant expecting the<br />

unexpected, personally and pr<strong>of</strong>essionally. There was no comparison<br />

when choosing whether to live in Pittsburgh or<br />

Prague. I wanted the excitement.”<br />

In 1993, Danziger moved to Prague to serve as project specialist<br />

with Westinghouse Electric in support <strong>of</strong> a $400 million<br />

contract with CEZ to finish the construction <strong>of</strong> a Russiandesigned,<br />

Czech-built nuclear power station in South<br />

Bohemia. After three years with Westinghouse in Europe,<br />

Danziger had the know-how and confidence to strike out on<br />

his own. In November, 1995, he founded NASAM Technical<br />

Marketing, Inc. to help American companies explore entrepreneurial<br />

possibilities in developing eastern European markets.<br />

Danziger’s principal Czech client was Skoda Nuclear<br />

Machinery, a subsidiary <strong>of</strong> Skoda Holding a.s., one <strong>of</strong> the<br />

largest Czech engineering concerns. When the Czech Republic<br />

joined NATO in 1998, possibilities opened up for this Czech<br />

manufacturing concern to provide parts for NATO warplanes.<br />

Danziger helped Skoda build relationships with American<br />

firms such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin. He developed the<br />

Aerospace and Advanced Technology Initiative, a program to<br />

convert Skoda’s precision nuclear machining facility to aerospace<br />

component production.<br />

In 1998, Danziger launched a second venture, this one with<br />

former Czech foreign minister Josef Zieleniec. “A mutual<br />

friend introduced me to the former foreign minister at the


opening party for her salon,” Danziger says. “She persuaded him<br />

to seriously entertain the thought <strong>of</strong> creating his own business<br />

and invited me in to develop a business plan for him.” Zieleniec<br />

and Danziger eventually formed Josef Zieleniec and Partners<br />

(JZ&P), a consulting firm that specializes in the development,<br />

management and execution <strong>of</strong> mergers, acquisitions and greenfield<br />

initiatives. In its first year <strong>of</strong> business, JZ&P advised a<br />

NASDAQ listed electronic fund transfer business on its attempted<br />

acquisition <strong>of</strong> the largest Czech ATM network operator, and also<br />

closed the acquisition <strong>of</strong> an automotive stamped components<br />

manufacturer. JZ&P has also provided input into European<br />

Union commercial and legislative issues for major Czech<br />

industrial companies that dominate the domestic coal, telecommunications<br />

and dairy sectors.<br />

While working with JZ&P, Danziger enrolled in <strong>Fuqua</strong>’s Cross<br />

Continent MBA program in 2000 to enhance his management<br />

skills. “The Cross Continent program was ideal for me,”<br />

Danziger says. “I could attend classes in Frankfurt without moving<br />

out <strong>of</strong> Prague. And pursuing an MBA while you are<br />

employed makes a lot <strong>of</strong> sense, as you can apply the course<br />

material right into work situations.”<br />

This year, Danziger launched his most ambitious business<br />

venture yet — the purchase <strong>of</strong> a Czech steel production facility<br />

with 200 employees and more than $11 million in annual sales.<br />

Structured as a management-buy-in, Czech Precision Forge a.s.<br />

will be managed by a four-person team, including Danziger as<br />

commercial director.<br />

Czech Precision Forge is a regional producer <strong>of</strong> steel and aluminum<br />

open and closed-die forgings. The management team<br />

hopes to significantly increase the company’s output and widen<br />

the variety <strong>of</strong> forged materials as part <strong>of</strong> a long-term strategy to<br />

increase the value delivered to its trading partners.<br />

Asked about the biggest challenge in running a business in the<br />

Czech Republic, Danziger points to the need to adapt one’s<br />

internal psychology to the local conditions. “When I first came<br />

over here, there was no commercial law, no rules for doing business,”<br />

he says. “Now, every business transaction here is done on<br />

the basis <strong>of</strong> formal contracts — nothing is done by handshake or<br />

letter. And the court system is a disaster, interminably slow and<br />

full <strong>of</strong> loopholes.”<br />

Danziger also finds himself frustrated by a worker attitude left<br />

over from the Communist era. “Theft from the company is a<br />

huge problem,” he says. “The Czechs had a saying under the<br />

Communists that he who doesn’t steal from the state steals from<br />

his own family. The company was equated with the state, and it’s<br />

been tough to get them to think <strong>of</strong> it as their own. People don’t<br />

believe that if you work harder, you’ll benefit more.”<br />

Still, Danziger feels there is a world <strong>of</strong> opportunity in Eastern<br />

Europe. “For people who are entrepreneurs, there is no better<br />

place to come,” he says. “But you need to come here not with the<br />

idea <strong>of</strong> selling something, but to find services and products you<br />

can export. This region is and will continue to be one <strong>of</strong> the<br />

major parts suppliers to Western Europe.”<br />

“I could attend classes in<br />

Frankfurt without moving out<br />

<strong>of</strong> Prague. And pursuing an<br />

MBA while you are employed<br />

makes a lot <strong>of</strong> sense, as you<br />

can apply the course material<br />

right into work situations.”<br />

EXTENSION TO<br />

THE RESCUE<br />

BY JOHN MANUEL<br />

North Carolina’s manufacturing sector is in serious trouble.<br />

Since 1993, the state has lost more than 200,000 manufacturing<br />

jobs. Unemployment is 6.6 percent, above the national average.<br />

Talk is that the state will eventually lose all <strong>of</strong> its textile jobs and<br />

that there is nothing on the horizon to replace them. Teresa<br />

Helmlinger ’85 is out to see that this doesn’t happen.<br />

Helmlinger is executive director <strong>of</strong> North Carolina State<br />

University’s Industrial Extension Service (IES) and assistant<br />

vice chancellor <strong>of</strong> Extension and Engagement. Created in 1955,<br />

IES provides education, training and technical assistance to<br />

business and industry across the state. It is the oldest service <strong>of</strong><br />

its kind in the nation.<br />

For many years, IES provided the bulk <strong>of</strong> its services to large<br />

industries. Since taking the reigns in 1999, Helmlinger has<br />

championed a major shift in focus to small and medium-sized<br />

businesses.<br />

“When I arrived here, we were serving less than 5 percent <strong>of</strong><br />

that population,” Helmlinger says. “Now, it’s up to 12 percent.<br />

We’ve increased the number <strong>of</strong> field <strong>of</strong>fices from five to 26 so<br />

that we can be closer to our clients.”<br />

Helmlinger is particularly concerned with helping small<br />

manufacturing concerns that are threatened by overseas competition.<br />

“We’ve saved at least a dozen <strong>of</strong> these industries in<br />

North Carolina,” she says. “We have helped them with things<br />

such as getting ISO [International Standard] certification to<br />

ship goods overseas. We match businesses up with faculty<br />

members who can help them stay in their markets. It’s mostly<br />

a question <strong>of</strong> finding the right niche.”<br />

Helmlinger is also behind the move to make North Carolina a<br />

leader in biotechnology. Recently, the Golden LEAF Foundation<br />

launched a $64 million initiative to train workers for biotechnology,<br />

$36 million <strong>of</strong> which will go to build a training plant at<br />

North Carolina State University.“I am very encouraged by where<br />

the state is heading in biotechnology,” she says.<br />

Helmlinger started her career with Carolina Power & Light<br />

Co. (now Progress Energy), then the second largest power<br />

company in North Carolina. With a bachelor’s degree in engineering<br />

and no real work experience, she was thrust into the<br />

industry at a time <strong>of</strong> major expansion. Construction was<br />

underway on three large power plants. All the company’s<br />

hydroelectric plants were being renovated.<br />

“It was an exciting time for a young engineer,” she says.“I did<br />

preliminary cost estimates for a lot <strong>of</strong> this construction. I<br />

found out in a hurry there’s a big difference between engineering<br />

theory and how the real world works.”<br />

Helmlinger set up some <strong>of</strong> the company’s conservation and<br />

load management programs. She zigzagged between marketing<br />

and operations. Eventually, she was named division engineering<br />

manager for the Eastern Division—everything east <strong>of</strong><br />

Interstate 95. “I was in charge <strong>of</strong> all support systems for this<br />

sector, including designing and building substations and training<br />

<strong>of</strong> personnel,” she says. “I was also the coordinator in the<br />

event <strong>of</strong> natural disasters, but fortunately missed Hurricanes<br />

Fran and Floyd.”<br />

By the mid-1980s, CP&L had tapped Helmlinger as an upand-comer<br />

and sponsored her enrollment in <strong>Fuqua</strong>’s Evening


Executive program. “My <strong>Fuqua</strong> experience was fabulous,”<br />

Helmlinger says. “For the first time, I was exposed to strategic<br />

level perspective in making decisions. I learned all <strong>of</strong> my marketing<br />

skills at <strong>Fuqua</strong>. And I bonded very closely with my<br />

classmates, though I regret to say I haven’t stayed in touch<br />

with them as much as I would like.”<br />

At the same time she was holding down a full-time job and<br />

working on her MBA, Helmlinger was pursuing certification<br />

as a pr<strong>of</strong>essional engineer. Most people fail the test the first<br />

time; Helmlinger passed. “For two years, all I did was go to<br />

work,come home, study and sleep,” she says.<br />

After twenty years with CP&L, Helmlinger decided it was<br />

time for a change. The company was going through a major<br />

reorganization. She decided if she didn’t leave then, she would<br />

be with the company for another twenty years. In 1999, she<br />

joined NCSU as executive director <strong>of</strong> IES. She found the<br />

change to an academic environment both refreshing and scary.<br />

“The managerial approach in the corporate world is very<br />

different than in academia,” she says. “There’s lots <strong>of</strong> hierarchy<br />

and protocol in business. In academia, the influential<br />

leaders are not necessarily in the administration. It takes<br />

much more time to make a decision and push something<br />

through a university, but when it goes through, you can be<br />

sure it has had the input <strong>of</strong> a lot <strong>of</strong> bright people.”<br />

While serving as executive director <strong>of</strong> IES, Helmlinger has<br />

also been active in the National Society <strong>of</strong> Pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />

Engineers (NSPE). She sought out committee assignments<br />

and worked her way up through the ranks. In July, <strong>2003</strong>, she<br />

was elected president <strong>of</strong> the 60,000 member organization—<br />

the first woman ever to hold that <strong>of</strong>fice.<br />

As president <strong>of</strong> NSPE, Helmlinger is championing a public<br />

relations effort entitled the American Engineering Campaign<br />

to create a positive image <strong>of</strong> engineers. The campaign directly<br />

targets students in classrooms across America. In particular,<br />

NSPE hopes to attract “a different flavor <strong>of</strong> engineer” into the<br />

industry. “The number <strong>of</strong> white Anglo-Saxon males in engineering<br />

is falling rapidly,” Helmlinger says.“At the current rate,<br />

we will be short a million engineers by 2010. We need to<br />

attract more women and minorities into the field.”<br />

For both engineering students and MBAs, Helmlinger’s<br />

own success stands as a sterling example <strong>of</strong> what a person can<br />

accomplish when she puts her mind to it.<br />
