The new global economy. Mitt Romney New Hampshire primary win: Time to take him seriously - Ben Smith. One of the great reactions to Romney, for instance, was a quote from Lucy Opal, an 84-year old Polish immigrant living in New Hampshire who told The Washington Post in August that Romney is “humanlike.”

But Opal later told POLITICO’s Emily Schultheis that she hadn’t meant the quote to sound quite that way: She’d meant that Romney is “more human … than anybody else.” Continue Reading Some of this, of course, is learned. As he demonstrated Tuesday night in Manchester, Romney has learned to give a pretty good speech. The central attacks, though, will be on Romney’s record — his history of corporate restructurings at Bain Capital, and his flips and flops and reflips in political life.

These are real vulnerabilities, and old videos featuring attacks from Perry and Newt Gingrich will no doubt make their way onto the airwaves next fall as Democrats seek to weigh Romney down. But it’s also a criticism that has its upside. Wait, she was asked: Are you ruling out attacking him as a conservative? Find all the Business Objects information you need on BusinessObjects Expert!

SANTA ANA, Calif., November 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — CoreLogic (NYSE: CLGX), a leading provider of information, analytics and business services, today released negative equity data showing that 10.7 million, or 22.1 percent, of all residential properties with a mortgage were in negative equity at the end of the third quarter of 2011. This is down slightly from 10.9 million properties, or 22.5 percent, in the second quarter. An additional 2.4 million borrowers had less than 5 percent equity, referred to as near-negative equity, in the third quarter. Together, negative equity and near-negative equity mortgages accounted for 27.1 percent of all residential properties with a mortgage nationwide in the third quarter, down from 27.5 in the previous quarter. Negative equity, often referred to as “underwater” or “upside-down,” is the condition in which borrowers owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth.

By Herminia Ibarra | 3:02 PM February 3, 2012 The theme at Davos this year was “The Great Transformation: Shaping New Models.” One of the models up for discussion was leadership. Panels with titles like “Leading Under Pressure” and “New Leadership Models from China” abounded. While speaking at a private dinner hosted by PwC on the topic of leadership and values in a volatile world, the questions put to me were, “What leadership traits will be paramount in the future?” And “What are the new expectations the public has for business leaders?”

On reflection, it struck me that the conversation this year was very different than in years past. On the opening morning at Davos, I attended a session entitled, “The New Context for Leadership.” A similar idea was advanced at the Women Leader’s dinner on Friday night. Since the 2008 economic crisis, two very different “rhetorics” about leadership have coexisted. Now it seems that we have settled on a solution — not “either/or,” but “yes/and.” KPI Library - Discover the right Key Performance Indicators. Google I/O Conferece now June 27-29, 2012. 28 November '11, 08:09pm Follow Google has announced via its official Google I/O Google+ page and a blog post that the Google I/O conference has been extended to three days, June 27-29, 2012.

This marks a change from the previously announced April dates. You heard it here first. The blog post also hints at the fact that attendees may need to code to get in: In the meantime, be sure to brush up on your coding skills. That’s an interesting twist that may throw some for a loop. Google is now taking suggestions as to what it should use the extra third day for, so head on over there to voice your choice.

Award. About the McKinsey Awards Since 1959, McKinsey & Company and Harvard Business Review (HBR) have presented annual awards—selected by an independent panel of business leaders and academics—recognizing the best articles published in the magazine.

Past recipients include influential management thinkers such as Peter Drucker, Gary Hamel, Ted Levitt, Henry Mintzberg, Michael Porter, and C. K. Prahalad. This year, the panel awarded first place to Harvard Business School (HBS) professor Christensen for his article “How will you measure your life?” From the July–August 2010 issue of HBR. The judges also recognized two second-place articles: “The age of customer capitalism,” by Roger Martin, dean of the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto; and “Stop the innovation wars,” coauthored by Vijay Govindarajan, professor of international business at Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business, and Chris Trimble, adjunct associate professor of business administration at Tuck.

About - Pomona College.

In the desert landscape that was inland Southern California in 1887, it took audacity to imagine "a college in a garden. " Yet far from the ivied halls of the Northeast, Pomona's founders envisioned "a college of the New England type," with small classes, close relationships between students and faculty, and a green jewel of a campus. From that beginning, Pomona has grown to be one of the nation's premier liberal arts colleges. Located in Claremont, Calif., on a campus where ivy and palm trees coexist under habitually sunny skies, Pomona offers an environment for intellectual development and personal growth that is second to none. Today, Pomona offers its approximately 1,600 students--evenly divided between men and women--a comprehensive curriculum in the arts, humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. With a student-faculty ratio of 8 to 1, students have the opportunity to work closely and collaboratively with professors who are also top scholars in their fields.
