Hi:

Here's the Wharton newsletter. Some interesting articles. Forwarding  
it to prospects and clients can help keep you on the grid in a non- 
self serving manner and help add value to the relationship.

> What's Hot
> Global Economic Forecast for 2009: Will Demand for Good News  
> Outpace Supply?
> After a year of financial shock and sharp economic loss, 2009 is  
> likely to be extremely difficult for the global economy, with  
> investors, business leaders and policymakers struggling to find  
> signs of recovery. Wharton faculty and other experts interviewed by  
> the Knowledge at Wharton Network discuss the outlook for the U.S.,  
> Europe, Latin America, India, China and Japan.

> Business Ethics
> (Podcast with Transcript)
> The Bernard Madoff Case: Trust Takes Another Blow
> Successful marketplaces -- indeed, all social systems -- require a  
> level of ethical behavior among their participants. In an interview  
> with Knowledge at Wharton, professors Maurice E. Schweitzer and G.  
> Richard Shell, who have conducted extensive research on the role of  
> trust in markets, explain why even the most sophisticated investors  
> put their faith in Bernard Madoff, the New York City financier  
> recently accused of running a $50 billion Ponzi scheme. That breach  
> of trust has damaged the broader markets, Schweitzer and Shell say.

> Law and Public Policy
> On the Job Training: Can Obama's Huge Infrastructure Program Really  
> Work?
> President-elect Barack Obama's infrastructure plan has drawn  
> considerable debate, but mostly over the details -- the size of the  
> stimulus program, how to structure the plan to create the most jobs  
> in the shortest time, and how to administer such a large program to  
> limit corruption and pork-barrel projects. The bigger questions  
> remain unanswered, including to what extent new jobs will actually  
> be created, and how all this spending will affect the government's  
> long-term debt.

> Leadership and Change
> Job-less: Steve Jobs's Succession Plan Should Be a Top Priority for  
> Apple
> Companies with strong corporate cultures can usually count on  
> continued success if they can seamlessly transfer power to an  
> executive from a strong bench of managers. But selecting the  
> successor to Apple CEO Steve Jobs will be tricky, given the degree  
> to which he is tied to Apple's identity, say Wharton faculty.

> Marketing
> Not on the List? The Truth about Impulse Purchases
> Retailers and manufacturers of consumer goods have long believed  
> that most grocery store purchases are unplanned, and that showy  
> displays will push more goods into shopping carts. The displays may  
> help sales, but the underlying assumption -- that most grocery  
> store sales are impulse buys -- is wrong, according to a new  
> research paper co-authored by Wharton marketing professor David Bell.

> Innovation and Entrepreneurship
> Finding Money for Innovation: Develop Those People Skills
> Innovating during a financial crisis is no small challenge. Experts  
> at a recent Wharton panel discussion offered tips: Align innovation  
> goals with company goals, focus on technology that can cut costs,  
> and develop the "street smarts" needed to sell technology  
> initiatives to investors or senior management.

> Finance and Investment
> On the Run: Examining Patterns in Mutual Fund Redemptions
> When a mutual fund hits a bump in the road, will investors quickly  
> bail out? The answer can be important to operators of open-end  
> mutual funds, which allow investors to redeem their shares at the  
> close of trading on any given day. When skittish stakeholders cash  
> out, fund managers may have to conduct costly and unprofitable  
> trades to quickly raise redemption capital. A new paper co-authored  
> by Wharton finance professor Itay Goldstein examines patterns in  
> fund redemptions and suggests ways to mitigate the impact.

> Strategic Management
> Urgent Deadline for Newspapers: Find a New Business Plan before You  
> Vanish
> It was a tough year for newspapers. The owner of The Los Angeles  
> Times andChicago Tribune declared bankruptcy; The New York Times  
> borrowed against its headquarters and even accepted ads on its  
> front page. Detroit's two dailies announced the end of home  
> delivery on all but three days of the week. According to Wharton  
> faculty, if newspapers can't find a new business model quickly,  
> they may soon be printing final editions.

> cylinders. In addition, the company is Latin America's largest  
> maker of aluminum wheels for the auto industry. How are  
> manufacturers such as Mangels Industrial coping with the global  
> recession? In an interview with Knowledge at Wharton, Bob Mangels,  
> company CEO and grandson of the founder, shares his insights on

> GP Investments' Octavio Lopes: 'The Whole World Is Deleveraging'

> in Sao Paulo, Lopes discusses the prospects for investing in Brazil  
> and Latin America, where he thinks commodity prices are headed, and  
> how the discovery of oil in places like Brazil, Colombia and Mexico  
> will affect the local and regional economy.
