Anders Dahlvig recently hit the 10-year mark as CEO of Ikea. Under his leadership, the Swedish furniture giant has nearly tripled its number of stores and employees, and committed to a broad new slate of policies on the environment. The company maintains a mixed reputation on quality, though, in the midst of an increasingly tough economic climate. In a series of recent conversations, Dahlvig spoke with TIME's Jeremy Caplan about why the tough business climate works in Ikea's favor, where the company plans to expand, and what Ikea is doing to be greener...
Instead, proposed concentrations should be evaluated according to that field’s independence and breadth. To meet this threshold, a field of study should not be subordinate to any other field of study and should command a broad range and history of inquiry. Truly distinct fields of study satisfy both of these criteria, and only truly distinct fields of study should be adopted as concentrations. Most undergraduates have specialized interests within their fields of study—some physics concentrators might otherwise elect to “concentrate” in nuclear energy, for example, and some English concentrators...
...clear, there is no doubt that concentrations should be allowed to evolve just as modes of inquiry and fields of study evolve. If a particular field of study grows untenably broad, it should be divided among its essential components. But this process should be one of evolution, not transformation; it should, in other words, involve only the relocation of boundaries between concentrations, not a fundamental revision of what concentrations are meant...
...Travierso, his torso quaking beneath his t-shirt, made the whole thing real.Travierso can also sing. As the Balladeer, he played a central role in executing Sondheim’s gorgeous score. “Assassins” is riddled with bits of American musical history, from the broad, open harmonies of folk to gospel’s ecstatic fervor. Even Sousa marches get their moments. In songs like “The Ballad of Booth” and (especially) “The Ballad of Czolgosz,” you could hear the country’s musical heritage...
...DeMint's list of lament read like talking points to jump-start Monday afternoon's conversation in Chicago between McCain and Obama. According to an Obama aide, the President-elect views McCain as a potential ally on the kind of reform issues for which the two men share broad agreement. "There are areas of general agreement and beliefs - on immigration, earmark reform, energy, climate change, government reform, spending reform," says the aide. "Where there's agreement on both sides, they want to figure out ways they can work together...
