...addition, firms have begun to take into account the wide variety of professional interests among students, particularly the desire to work for social good. For instance, JP Morgan allows its new analysts to defer employment for two years to participate in Teach For America (see “Those Who Can, Teach?” page 14). Bain, meanwhile, developed The Bridgespan Group, which offers analysis to non-profit organizations, and spun it off six years...
...India been? Foreign institutional investors poured $30 billion into the Indian market in three years--double the amount they had invested in the previous decade. Firms like JP Morgan and Fidelity raced to set up India-focused mutual funds. An Indian student at Harvard Business School told TIME that one of the U.S.'s best-known hedge funds had given him $5 million to invest in Indian stocks--never mind that he hadn't yet graduated.

We may be in a modest inflationary cycle, and if you adjust for the past 26 years of inflation, gold should be at $2,150 already. Potentially, there is a lot of ground to make...
...piecing together what went wrong, there is plenty of blame to go around. At various times over the past three months, CNOOC, the Chinese government (which owns 70% of the company), and the company's gold-plated U.S. advisers?investment banks Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan, as well as high-powered Washington, D.C., law firm Akin Gump Strauss Hauer Feld LLP?all made bewildering, tone-deaf mistakes that hurt CNOOC's case. The oil company's Washington team, sources close to the deal say, consistently reassured management that the politics were manageable?even as the political climate deteriorated throughout...
