As Sr. Advisor of Swissnex Boston, Pascal Marmier, focuses on the high-tech collaboration among Swiss and U.S. scientists, entrepreneurs, and innovators in hopes of achieving climate change. In his time with the MIT Sloan Fellows program, Marmier, SF 2008, advanced his knowledge of sustainability through access to faculty leaders and in his role as co-founder of the MIT Sloan Fellows Social Impact Group. The group -- representing more than 25 countries -- believes that giving back to society is not about self-sacrifice, it's about commitment. http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/pascal.mp3 Thu, 7 Aug 2008 23:00:00 GMT 19:30 Swissnex, Marmier, Sustainability http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/pascal.mp3|pascal|M|FE srolph@mit.edu (Scott Rolph)nohttp://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=mitsloanpodcast&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmitsloan.mit.edu%2Fpodcasts%2Fmp3%2Fpascal.mp3<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=hONrqK"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=hONrqK" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=uKSIwk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=uKSIwk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=6ilzOK"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=6ilzOK" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=3zHYJK"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=3zHYJK" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=eSUsOk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=eSUsOk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=8tQpiK"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=8tQpiK" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=194Mvk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=194Mvk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=1oeujK"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=1oeujK" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~4/358784895" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~3/358784895/pascal.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/pascal.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/pascal.mp3 MIT Sloan School of Management MIT Sloan Fellow makes the most of flex option. Tanya Bodell believes joining the MIT Sloan Fellows Program was a leap of faith -- a leap that has paid off tenfold in professional opportunities and personal growth. As a vice president at CRA International, Tanya was looking to the Fellows program to prepare her for increasing leadership responsibilities, expand her skill set, and establish international relationships. What she also got was lifelong connections with classmates and an expanded perspective on the world. She also became an expert juggler: In her two years in the Fellow's flex format, she continued her duties at CRA, gave birth to her third child, and bought and renovated a new home. http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/tanya.mp3 Wed, 28 May 2008 20:45:00 GMT 19:58 Fellows, Bodell, Energy http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/tanya.mp3|tanya|F|FE srolph@mit.edu (Scott Rolph)nohttp://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=mitsloanpodcast&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmitsloan.mit.edu%2Fpodcasts%2Fmp3%2Ftanya.mp3<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=n4epNH"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=n4epNH" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=J8eMqh"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=J8eMqh" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=yggWtH"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=yggWtH" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=tVTFKH"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=tVTFKH" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=DC8BSh"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=DC8BSh" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=XtyJlH"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=XtyJlH" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=1vDGxh"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=1vDGxh" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=wdO4yH"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=wdO4yH" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~4/300058073" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~3/300058073/tanya.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/tanya.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/tanya.mp3 MIT Sloan School of Management Club officers on the value of diversity, the importance of community outreach, and the benefits of a tight-knit network.

After over two decades in front of the classroom, Sloan Distinguished Professor of Management JoAnne Yates is spending some time in the dean's office. Long known for her research on organizational communications -- particularly how it is impacted by technology -- Deputy Dean Yates is taking advantage of her opportunity to champion another issue close to her heart: diversity. Believing that diversity has real educational value, Yates has made advancing gender equity a priority. Through this work, Yates hopes to provide role models for women in b-school and expose all students to a wide range of points of view. http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/yates.mp3 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 18:00:00 GMT 26:33 Yates, Dean, IT, Communications, Diversity http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/yates.mp3|yates|F|FA srolph@mit.edu (Scott Rolph)nohttp://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=mitsloanpodcast&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmitsloan.mit.edu%2Fpodcasts%2Fmp3%2Fyates.mp3<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=Up96uG"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=Up96uG" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=oHOU5g"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=oHOU5g" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=h38xEG"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=h38xEG" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=Q41aPG"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=Q41aPG" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=YfkaSg"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=YfkaSg" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=hZHvNG"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=hZHvNG" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=II1q1g"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=II1q1g" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=WgUNIG"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=WgUNIG" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~4/279529564" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~3/279529564/yates.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/yates.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/yates.mp3 MIT Sloan School of Management Veterans Club members get a new look at leadership. Making the move from a career in the military to management school starts with one critical step: leaving the military. That decision is more complex than a civilian might think, particularly given the intense commitment and teamwork that bonds soldiers so strongly.

Accountability is a source of power, and activism is an obligation, according to MIT Sloan alumnus Bruce Gordon, SF '88, former president and CEO of the NAACP and longtime telecom executive. In an inspiring talk before MIT Sloan students as part of the Dean's Innovative Leader Series, Gordon said the disparity in society between those who have and those who don't is growing every day. Calling the executive suite an under-utilized source of power for social change, he urged MIT Sloan students to go out and make a difference.

For this driven New Zealander, her goal of successfully marrying her interests in energy, entrepreneurship, and China is very close to being realized. http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/jenny.mp3 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 10:00:00 GMT 22:31 Jenny Kwan, Student Stories, Energy, China http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/jenny.mp3|jenny|F|ST srolph@mit.edu (Scott Rolph)nohttp://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=mitsloanpodcast&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmitsloan.mit.edu%2Fpodcasts%2Fmp3%2Fjenny.mp3<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=VhKirI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=VhKirI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=aWhCGi"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=aWhCGi" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=4coLeI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=4coLeI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=6LKVYI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=6LKVYI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=gh3Xhi"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=gh3Xhi" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=N9D5ZI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=N9D5ZI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=rrgwOi"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=rrgwOi" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=BJMUlI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=BJMUlI" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~4/258573682" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~3/258573682/jenny.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/jenny.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/jenny.mp3 MIT Sloan School of Management Anjuli Gupta talks about the tools needed to effect positive change and the desire to do something good in the world. Anjuli Gupta doesn't believe in just doing something good in the world; for her, it's about doing the most good that she can. Passionate about natural resources, Anjuli hopes to focus on energy finance after graduation. Having worked on environmental policy for non-profit, grassroots organizations, she sees finance as a major driver toward positive change. In order accomplish her goals, Anjuli believes that she needs to know how to run a team -- and how to design an organization that is effective. She came to MIT Sloan to learn all that and more. Anjuli spoke with correspondents Scott Rolph and Michelle Choate about what she gained from the first-semester core, the rollercoaster ride of internship interviews, and spring break in Costa Rica. http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/anjuli.mp3 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 15:17:00 GMT 32:26 Anjuli Gupta, Student Stories, Non-Profit, Environment, Finance http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/anjuli.mp3|anjuli|F|ST srolph@mit.edu (Scott Rolph)nohttp://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=mitsloanpodcast&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmitsloan.mit.edu%2Fpodcasts%2Fmp3%2Fanjuli.mp3<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=SsEGPI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=SsEGPI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=Znyqli"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=Znyqli" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=NNPgGI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=NNPgGI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=3eed0I"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=3eed0I" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=JfRvFi"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=JfRvFi" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=eFO80I"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=eFO80I" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=HAFv5i"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=HAFv5i" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=xJ4LLI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=xJ4LLI" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~4/254979774" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~3/254979774/anjuli.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/anjuli.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/anjuli.mp3 MIT Sloan School of Management George Eastman Professor of Management Science Arnie Barnett has a passion for applying math to problems. Widely considered the nation's leading expert on aviation safety, Arnie Barnett uses his background in applied math to help conquer his own fear of flying. He calms himself -- and sometimes even fellow passengers -- during turbulence by recalling statistics on crash probability. A firm believer that math should be accessible to his students and can be applied to almost any problem, Arnie's passion for math is infectious. In this podcast, Arnie talks about his ideas for a new approach to the Electoral College and his constant vigilance against skewed statistics. http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/arnie.mp3 Mon, 17 Mar 2008 16:17:00 GMT 43:00 Arnie Barnett, Intellectual Capital, Applied Math, Aviation Safety, Electoral College http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/arnie.mp3|arnie|M|FA srolph@mit.edu (Scott Rolph)nohttp://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=mitsloanpodcast&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmitsloan.mit.edu%2Fpodcasts%2Fmp3%2Farnie.mp3<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=2apQZI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=2apQZI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=Tk58hi"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=Tk58hi" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=cEtg2I"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=cEtg2I" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=Fsxo3I"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=Fsxo3I" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=LQCpLi"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=LQCpLi" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=L2IlcI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=L2IlcI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=FOirCi"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=FOirCi" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=vnvzvI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=vnvzvI" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~4/253085801" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~3/253085801/arnie.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/arnie.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/arnie.mp3 MIT Sloan School of Management Samantha Joseph talks about jumping from planes to B-school.

What are the secrets to Galen Li's success? Optimism and persistence for starters. After being placed on the wait list for MIT Sloan -- the only school he applied to -- he turned a time of doubt to his advantage. He sought advice for improving his application and received valuable insight from both admissions' staffers and current students.

While in the process of applying to business school, he and a partner got a business up and running. Figuring that it was the perfect time to deepen his marketing and strategy skills, Matt Weiss left the business in the care of his partner and fully immersed himself in the entrepreneurial culture of MIT Sloan. While earning his MBA, Matt also kept time as the drummer for the student band, The Rolling Sloanes. And he timed his wedding to occur one week after graduation, giving the newlyweds plenty of time for a summer honeymoon in Australia.

Megan Ford's road to business school took some less-than-traditional turns. A member of the Screen Actor's Guild, Megan has worked in front of the camera and behind the scenes on several movies and tv shows (see Mona Lisa Smile, Law and Order, Dawson's Creek). Through her strong connections in the New York film and political communities, she became involved in the non-profit Asia Society, traveling throughout India, Japan, Kazakhstan, Thailand, and Korea. The more time she spent off set, the more Megan began to think about her long-term goals. She took the first step toward a new career by coming to MIT Sloan. Her current focus is the strategy and marketing side of media and entertainment; it's certainly different from acting, but Megan will be on familiar ground. Before beginning her internship with Disney, Megan talked with correspondents Scott Rolph and Michelle Choate about the benefits of the alumni network, the joys of production, and the difference between the talent side and the studio side. http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/megan.mp3 Tue, 20 Nov 2007 18:00:00 GMT 34:43 Megan Ford, Student Stories http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/megan.mp3|megan|F|ST srolph@mit.edu (Scott Rolph)nohttp://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=mitsloanpodcast&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmitsloan.mit.edu%2Fpodcasts%2Fmp3%2Fmegan.mp3<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=WKHq5I"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=WKHq5I" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=vxbcSi"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=vxbcSi" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=avpBYI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=avpBYI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=wB7z2I"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=wB7z2I" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=EOzP6i"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=EOzP6i" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=4Yn2OI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=4Yn2OI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=JsEusi"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=JsEusi" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=FlOT5I"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=FlOT5I" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~4/243715160" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~3/243715160/megan.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/megan.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/megan.mp3 MIT Sloan School of Management New John C Head III Dean talks about MIT Sloan's role as a premier management school, his background, and his thoughts on what he aims to accomplish as dean. Twenty-seven years ago Dave Schmittlein was a 25-year-old assistant marketing professor at Wharton teaching MBA students who were on average three years his senior. Now, he is the new dean of MIT Sloan, charged in part with ensuring MIT Sloan's MBA Program provides value to today's generation of 28-year-olds. The true measure of that value, he says, lies beyond the confines of one academic program. MIT Sloan's value accrues from its array of programs, its role as a forum for top business leaders, and its creation of knowledge that benefits all tiers of the global community. Correspondents Michelle Choate and Scott Rolph spoke with Dean Schmittlein about MIT Sloan's role as a premier management school, his background, and his thoughts on what he aims to accomplish as dean. http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/dean.mp3 Wed, 14 Nov 2007 14:00:00 GMT 36:45 David Schmittlein, John C Head III Dean http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/dean.mp3|dean|M|D srolph@mit.edu (Scott Rolph)nohttp://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=mitsloanpodcast&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmitsloan.mit.edu%2Fpodcasts%2Fmp3%2Fdean.mp3<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=llawiI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=llawiI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=nyLrli"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=nyLrli" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=MZq0GI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=MZq0GI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=Yelg0I"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=Yelg0I" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=zbIobi"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=zbIobi" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=Z8NH9I"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=Z8NH9I" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=gbCcei"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=gbCcei" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=UouZyI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=UouZyI" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~4/243715161" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~3/243715161/dean.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/dean.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/dean.mp3 MIT Sloan School of Management Israeli engineer and intelligence analyst turns consultant and Bostonian.

To say his time here has been productive would be an understatement. In addition to the four degrees he's earned and decades of teaching and research, this energetic innovator founded and chairs the MIT Entrepreneurship Center and co-founded the Management of Technology Program. His latest accomplishment is the introduction of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Program. Fondly known as E&I, this phenomenally popular element of the MBA program leverages the entrepreneurial ecosystem at MIT and brings likeminded entrepreneurs together. Recently Ed spoke with correspondents Scott Rolph and Michelle Choate about his latest curricular innovation, his long journey down the entrepreneurship path, and what he firmly believes makes a great entrepreneur. http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/roberts.mp3 Mon, 22 Oct 2007 17:00:00 GMT 1:06:10 Entrepreneurship, Innovation, Ed Roberts http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/roberts.mp3|roberts|M|FA srolph@mit.edu (Scott Rolph)nohttp://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=mitsloanpodcast&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmitsloan.mit.edu%2Fpodcasts%2Fmp3%2Froberts.mp3<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=tU4efI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=tU4efI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=5Rwxli"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=5Rwxli" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=uZT3jI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=uZT3jI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=oHVf8I"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=oHVf8I" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=69rOvi"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=69rOvi" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=4zxRlI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=4zxRlI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=fSOZzi"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=fSOZzi" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=fW3VyI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=fW3VyI" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~4/243715164" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~3/243715164/roberts.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/roberts.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/roberts.mp3 MIT Sloan School of Management Long-standing director of MBA Admissions on how to prepare for business school, the most critical parts of the admissions process, and what makes MIT Sloan unique Rod Garcia is a good man to know -- and not just because he's the director of MBA Admissions.

Grameen, a microfinance organization funded by the Whole Planet Foundation, provides short-term loans to poor women in an effort to empower them to finance their own businesses. The businesses may be small -- based mostly in handcrafts and agriculture -- but the results for the women involved can make a big impact. S-Lab team members Faaiza Rashid and Juan Martin spoke with correspondents Scott Rolph and Michelle Choate about being on at the ground level in Guatemala and helping Grameen figure out ways to match their financial goals with formidable social challenges. http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/grameen.mp3 Wed, 03 Oct 2007 17:00:00 GMT 34:46 Sustainability, S-Lab, Grameen, UFM http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/grameen.mp3|ufm|N|ST srolph@mit.edu (Scott Rolph)nohttp://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=mitsloanpodcast&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmitsloan.mit.edu%2Fpodcasts%2Fmp3%2Fgrameen.mp3<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=qN4RxI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=qN4RxI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=F3v2Ei"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=F3v2Ei" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=1j8ZMI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=1j8ZMI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=NARqdI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=NARqdI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=Pm6jxi"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=Pm6jxi" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=oAzSlI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=oAzSlI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=AzXv9i"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=AzXv9i" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=7tGxXI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=7tGxXI" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~4/243715167" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~3/243715167/grameen.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/grameen.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/grameen.mp3 MIT Sloan School of Management 2007 MBA graduate Elaine Chow displays her operatic flair. 2007 MBA graduate Elaine Chow displays her operatic flair. http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/elaine-opera.mp3 Mon, 17 Sep 2007 15:00:00 GMT 4:10 Elaine Chow, Opera http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/elaine-opera.mp3|elaine-opera|F|ST srolph@mit.edu (Scott Rolph)nohttp://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=mitsloanpodcast&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmitsloan.mit.edu%2Fpodcasts%2Fmp3%2Felaine-opera.mp3<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=rfQeZI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=rfQeZI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=TYTCqi"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=TYTCqi" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=cvwalI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=cvwalI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=uAryJI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=uAryJI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=IuATai"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=IuATai" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=pDQPuI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=pDQPuI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=cV0Yfi"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=cV0Yfi" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=pwFCNI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=pwFCNI" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~4/243715168" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~3/243715168/elaine-opera.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/elaine-opera.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/elaine-opera.mp3 MIT Sloan School of Management Soprano gives up operatic career for b-school and nonprofits. Elaine Chow doesn't fit the stereotypical image of an opera singer -- she's not heavy-set, middle-aged, or Italian. She does, however, have a wonderful voice and passion to spare, two things that would serve her well in the world of arias and librettos. But this soprano has decided to give up her pursuit of an operatic career in favor of the slightly less glamorous world of nonprofits. After expanding her skill set at MIT Sloan, particularly through her work with the School's NetImpact and SWIM organizations, Elaine hopes to bring much-needed traditional management skills back into the often ill-equipped nonprofit sector. And while it hasn't been easy for her to resist the lure of the big bucks in for-profit, she says she knows where her heart lies, and, for her, that knowledge is priceless. As correspondents Scott Rolph and Michelle Choate learned, as a singer and as a businesswoman, Elaine is hitting all the right notes. http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/elaine.mp3 Fri, 14 Sep 2007 14:00:00 GMT 33:20 Elaine Chow, Nonprofit Management, Opera http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/elaine.mp3|elaine|F|ST srolph@mit.edu (Scott Rolph)nohttp://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=mitsloanpodcast&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmitsloan.mit.edu%2Fpodcasts%2Fmp3%2Felaine.mp3<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=CN2AhI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=CN2AhI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=WC1aji"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=WC1aji" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=W5JbzI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=W5JbzI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=kuQfCI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=kuQfCI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=Couxoi"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=Couxoi" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=6wxd1I"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=6wxd1I" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=k59Afi"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=k59Afi" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=DpNsEI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=DpNsEI" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~4/243715169" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~3/243715169/elaine.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/elaine.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/elaine.mp3 MIT Sloan School of Management Second-year student is halfway there ... and living on a prayer.

Meet her just once and you'll understand how she was able to get her accounting classmates to alleviate their pre-finals jitters by leading them in a rousing rendition of "Living on a Prayer."

Now this idea man is putting that principle into action as he begins a job with Innosight, an innovation consulting company. As co-president of the Innovation Club and co-author of a thesis on collective innovation, Alex has idea generation and analysis down cold. With his liberal arts undergraduate experience, he's confident in his ability to speak and write about those ideas. And with his passion for challenge and problem solving, it's probably a good idea to bet on his success. On the eve of his graduation, the eloquent Alex sat down with correspondent Scott Rolph to discuss his fond memories of MIT Sloan and his ideas on the shifting nature of innovation. http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/alex.mp3 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 14:30:00 GMT 36:35 Alex Slawsby, Innovation, Innosight http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/alex.mp3|alex|M|ST srolph@mit.edu (Scott Rolph)nohttp://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=mitsloanpodcast&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmitsloan.mit.edu%2Fpodcasts%2Fmp3%2Falex.mp3<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=92oETI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=92oETI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=O7ezui"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=O7ezui" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=RrvIzI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=RrvIzI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=AZPJNI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=AZPJNI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=AuGsji"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=AuGsji" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=7DQUOI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=7DQUOI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=9SF5ti"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=9SF5ti" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=fdG11I"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=fdG11I" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~4/243715171" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~3/243715171/alex.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/alex.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/alex.mp3 MIT Sloan School of Management Chef, restaurant owner, Martha Stewart Living alum, and now b-school student If you're looking for some great snacks to fuel a marathon study session, Susan Rogol is the classmate for you.

Kristen Oldenburger is interested in the business of flying, particularly in how to keep an airline aloft in a rather competitive climate. Up to this point, however, she's done most of her work at ground level, for the FAA, the National Transportation Safety Bureau, and a few startup airlines. Recent treks to Australia and the United Arab Emirates have given a global slant to her travel industry knowledge, as well as the opportunity to visit the Great Barrier Reef, and she's looking to her summer internship with Morgan Stanley to provide a better understanding of the management side of transportation. In the rare moments her thoughts aren't on the sky, Kristin can be found on the ice, competing as part of an award-winning synchronized skating team.

Consequently, the steps he's taken as an adult have been moving toward one goal: alleviating that poverty. As a recent graduate of the MIT Sloan/JFK School of Government dual-degree program, Seyi learned key lessons in how to make business work in the complex, and often insufficient, infrastructure of a developing country. A firm believer that entrepreneurship is essential to creating jobs and eradicating poverty, Seyi is headed back to his native land to put his education and his passion to work. On the eve of his graduation, correspondents Scott Rolph and Michelle Choate spoke with Seyi about resisting the lure of big business in the U.S. and his hopes for the future of Nigeria. http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/seyi.mp3 Thu, 16 Aug 2007 17:00:00 GMT 39:56 Oliseyi Boroffice, Nigeria, Kennedy School http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/seyi.mp3|seyi|M|ST srolph@mit.edu (Scott Rolph)nohttp://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=mitsloanpodcast&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmitsloan.mit.edu%2Fpodcasts%2Fmp3%2Fseyi.mp3<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=KTvcbI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=KTvcbI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=Gqqx0i"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=Gqqx0i" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=3QURtI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=3QURtI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=eoRAZI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=eoRAZI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=d6i8ai"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=d6i8ai" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=HBjp5I"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=HBjp5I" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=LKcUFi"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=LKcUFi" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?a=qC06II"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/mitsloanpodcast?i=qC06II" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~4/243715174" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mitsloanpodcast/~3/243715174/seyi.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/seyi.mp3http://mitsloan.mit.edu/podcasts/mp3/seyi.mp3 MIT Sloan School of Management Student Basmaa Ali talks about a future in which "sustainable" could be an important product distinction. Merida Meridian sells all-natural rugs. That's a noble distinction amid a market dominated by petroleum-based rugs. But company owner Hiram Samel, an MIT Sloan Fellows alum, has his sights set higher. He is eyeing the possibility of selling rugs that are "fully sustainable," a distinction that would incorporate an array of values associated with the production and distribution of the rugs. With that in mind, Samel asked a team of students in MT Sloan's Sustainability Lab to determine if a market exists for a sustainable rug.
