...China's mall woes stem from a bubble-forming combination of inexperience, exuberance and excess capital. Local mall developers are often first-generation capitalists looking to reinvest riches reaped from the booming residential sector, Parker says, and many lack expertise in running successful commercial projects. Local governments push through new mall projects because they hope to enhance infrastructure and increase commerce. Meanwhile bankers, eager to expand their loan portfolios, become too-willing accomplices to overbuilding. Parker calls it a recipe for "the perfect storm." Banks in a mature market "provide the sanity check to a developer, but in China, there...

As many as 30% of Endeavor's entrepreneurs don't reinvest in their communities, but Martinez, 41, who left school at 13 and later founded Neology, a Mexico-based radio-frequency identification (RFID) company, gives back.

If you borrow enough to cover four years of tuition, you'll need to reinvest whatever you don't use right away. And even so, you may not offset the interest you're paying for money you don't need...
...scenarios? If the sustainability principles save Harvard money and go no further, then “responsibility” is meaningless. To maintain incentives to save money through reducing resource use while meeting Harvard’s obligation of environmental stewardship, one common-sense solution is to reinvest 50% of cost savings—which result from sustainability measures—into research on campus sustainability or environmental mitigation efforts, like the Kennedy School of Government’s use of 100% wind energy. This solution is still “win-win,” but goes beyond...
