...suggested that an efficient hiring structure can make a significant difference in firm performance. He hoped that firms can benefit from these results by realizing that hiring star workers will not guarantee that the worker will succeed in the new environment. The authors also had advice on an individual level. Abraham said that individuals should make prudent career decisions, and when transferring to a different job, the individual should consider how his success will be related to his co-workers. Groysberg said that he will continue to conduct research on individual performance to better understand how to optimize a firm?...
...crew and Rogen’s posse, and you should get a masterpiece. But as “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” proves, this collaboration is only brilliant in theory. The mixture of these pop icons, each of whom has proven masterful on a singular level (yes, even the porn stars), is not only toxic, but pitiful. While isolated moments prove funny—mostly because they’re outrageous—the film is a total flop, a rare tapestry of hilarious individuals who flounder in the wake of inexcusably bad writing, a terrible...
...According to the online databases Opensecrets.org and Followthemoney.org, the seven members of the Cabinet have spent at least $7.8 million on political races since the beginning of 2004, although their true level of giving is doubtless far higher, since Followthemoney.org - which is run by the nonpartisan National Institute on Money in State Politics - does not capture all contributions to PACs (for instance, the Cabinet money that went to Ebbin's PAC in 2005 doesn't show up on the website).

The game of turbocharged, Cabinet-level musical chairs is the autumnal version of the summer speculation about vice-presidential picks: lots of fun, but not very nourishing, and I'm not going to indulge in it here (O.K., maybe a little). There are bigger fish to fry, like what's the new President - Obama is universally, prematurely...
...Finding jobs for millions of unemployed is "the biggest challenge [China's] leadership faces" says David Dollar, head of the World Bank's China office in Beijing. The current crisis has greatly accelerated a process that was already underway as China's economy has been shedding low-level factory jobs to transition to manufacturing higher value-added products and jobs in the service industry. "In a way, the crisis could work out well for China. It has the potential to help in rebalancing the economy away from production" to the creation of more jobs in the service sector, says Dollar...
