...hairstyling market. "In Delhi, people will just come to my salon asking for a cut that suits them," he says. "In Aligarh, they'll come asking to look like [Bollywood superstar] Shah Rukh Khan." The approach chimes with the findings of The Dhoni Effect, a 2008 report from consultants Ernst & Young. Named after Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, a small-town boy made great, the report found that India's provincial consumers were increasing in importance, thanks to growing aspirations and incomes. "Earlier, it was just Bombay and Delhi, but since 2004 we've been seeing the rise...
Enter Dr. Margaret S. Livingstone, Professor of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School, whose research focuses on human visual perception. Livingstone realized that while contemporary art historians like Ernst Gombrich are not wrong in their analysis of “Mona Lisa,” there’s a science to da Vinci’s masterpiece that had yet to be fully explained. Analyzing the work in terms of its spatial frequencies, Livingstone revealed that the lower spatial frequencies, best seen by the peripheral vision, make the figure appear to smile, while at higher frequencies the smile almost vanishes...

He probably serves on more than one board. (French law permits people to hold seats on up to five companies' boards at the same time.) French boardrooms are far less diverse than those in other nations; a survey last month by the independent Politico-Economic Observatory of Capitalistic Structures (PEOCS) indicates that the concentration of business power is greater in France than...
...remains essential, carefully tiptoeing around the idea that its value has plummeted. But they admit that the degree alone is not the ace it once was; now they emphasize work experience as a way to make yourself stand out. Dan Black, director of campus recruiting in the Americas for Ernst & Young, and his team will hire more than 4,000 people this year out of 20,000 applicants. There are a lot of things besides a degree "that will help differentiate how much attention you get," says the veteran hirer, who has been screening graduates for 15 years...
