We are investing in a new customer relationship management (CRM) system for prospective students to become more proactive in admissions and recruiting. We are investing in a new content management system to manage our web presence. Finally, we are part of a campus team recommending a new CRM system that will enable us to provide a more personalized and fulfilling experience for alumni and friends with the university. In collaboration with campus partners, we are also aligning our offerings to meet the needs of non-business majors. We introduced a new two-course sequence that is designed to provide the essential knowledge from all of the key functional areas of business—accounting, finance, law, management, marketing, and operations. This offering will improve the efficiency with which many students gain exposure to business. As you make your own adjustments to meet these changing times, please know that we are making them along with you. While we have seen some significant changes over the past year, there is one constant in our continued success—the engagement of alumni in our mission. Thank you for all you do to help keep the Wisconsin School of Business at the forefront of business education. Michael M. Knetter Albert O.

Among the key ideas: take care of your “A team” and customers; get your financial house in order; invest in technology that can reduce cost and increase flexibility; and take advantage of opportunities to retain and attract great talent. The story resonated with me because we have been following these prescriptions over the past year. The recession reduced many sources of revenue for the school—endowment income, new gifts, executive education revenue, and campus budget allocations. As a result, we have reduced expenditures in many areas, including: consolidation of course offerings (i.e., increased size of remaining sections), increased teaching loads, cross-training and better integration of staff in key functional areas, reduction in size and cost of print publications, and sharper program focus within the MBA. We made these reductions to get our financial house in order and to preserve the primary intent of the Wisconsin Naming Gift. While the naming gift had put us in a strong position financially, these cuts enable us to put this wonderful gift to full use recruiting faculty and staff in a buyer’s market. It is still early in the recruiting season, but we have several searches underway. We made these reductions to get our financial house in order and to preserve the primary intent of the Wisconsin Naming Gift. Lights, Camera, Wisconsin! CNN Chief Business Correspondent Ali Velshi and the CNN Express paid a visit to the Wisconsin School of Business for two days this September, taping special segments that aired on “CNN Newsroom with Tony Harris” and “Your $$$$.” Several representatives from the full-time Wisconsin MBA appeared on “Your $$$$” with Velshi and co-host Christine Romans to discuss Wisconsin’s unique MBA career specialization model, job prospects for graduates, and how the business curriculum is affected by changing economic conditions. Interviewed on the show were Dean Michael Knetter; Ken Kavajecz, associate dean of MBA and undergraduate programs; Assistant Dean of MBA Programs Blair Sanford; and first-year MBA students Kemllen Lee and Luis Ortero. Kavajecz said that the past 15 months have been “an extraordinary learning experience for anyone in finance or anyone in business, for that matter. We have adapted some of the curriculum to handle the environment we are watching unfold. But the foundation of what we talk about and the principles don’t change at all.” It was the second day in a row that the CNN Express team taped on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. The prior day, Velshi conducted a town-hall meeting with Wisconsin students in Grainger Hall’s courtyard featuring students’ take on the economy. It aired on “CNN Newsroom” and was posted on CNNMoney.com. Wisconsin Executive Education Among World’s Best For the fifth consecutive year, the Wisconsin School of Business made the Financial Times’ list of the world’s top providers of executive education. Wisconsin was ranked 14th in the U.S. and 27th in the world. It ranked #1 in the world in two categories: the quality of its facilities and the level of its follow up to participants in its custom executive education offerings. CNN was only the latest example of national media coverage of the Wisconsin School of Business. Others include: The Economist, BusinessWeek, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, TIME magazine, public radio’s “Marketplace,” Advertising Age, Forbes, USA Today, the Washington Post, and many others. Accounting Students Win High-Profile Internships Two graduate students in the Masters of Accountancy program at the Wisconsin School of Business were awarded post-graduate technical assistant internships at the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the national standard setter for accounting. Eric Jourdan and Kristy Putnam were among the 11 students in the nation selected for the internships. Wisconsin has a long tradition of having its accounting students selected for the prestigious posts. UPDATE Fall/Winter 2009 3 UPDATE I On Campus A New Path to Leadership in R eal E state International real estate is both high risk and high reward. It demands highly trained professionals who understand the complexities of global markets and the details of real estate assets. Students from three top business schools from around the world will soon come together at the Wisconsin School of Business to prepare to become leaders of the global real estate industry. Wisconsin is partnering with France’s HEC Paris, China’s HKUST Business School, and Costa Rica’s INCAE Business School to offer a new degree, the Global Real Estate Master (GREM). Students from the three partner schools will have a semester of intensive real estate training at Wisconsin that will include real estate coursework, a study tour of a major U.S. real estate market, and professional development aimed at sharpening their networking skills and forging industry connections. Graduates will become part of an international real estate network made up of the best and brightest students from around the world. It’s no surprise that Wisconsin should be at the center of such an innovative international real estate effort. Wisconsin’s real estate program is one of the oldest and most highly regarded programs in the United States, consistently ranked among the top three programs in the country by U.S. News & World Report. Wisconsin real estate faculty are particularly known for expertise in real estate economics and finance. The program is noted for strong connections to industry and for having an influential alumni network. The Global Real Estate Master is the brainchild of Professor François Ortalo-Magné, who chairs the Department of Real Estate and Urban Land Economics. He predicts, “It will be an incredible experience for all involved—students from around the world sharing the same classroom in Madison and learning real estate the Wisconsin way.” To learn more, go to: bus.wisc.edu/grem All Aboard, Sophomores This fall, the undergraduate program of the Wisconsin School of Business put out the welcome mat for two groups of students: juniors admitted to the business school under the prior admission policy and—for the first time—sophomores admitted under the school’s new admission model. The switch to sophomore admissions is expected to allow better integration of the curriculum and make it easier for students to pursue study abroad and internship opportunities. (For a look at trends in internships, turn to page 10.) The change will also allow those not admitted to the business school to find out earlier in their academic careers, so they can more easily pursue other avenues. With the change, the undergraduate student body will increase from 1,200 to 1,800, but the number of graduates will remain unchanged. 4 UPDATE Fall/Winter 2009 UPDATE I On Campus The “New” Wall Street What’s happening on Wall Street? Wisconsin School of Business students got to hear for themselves from those on the front lines. In September, members of the UW Investment Banking Club turned to prominent Wisconsin finance alumni to launch the first Wisconsin Finance Conference. Intended to become an annual event, the first conference was titled, “The New Wall Street.” The student-organized forum allowed students, alumni, and faculty to discuss the current state of global finance. Michael Rak, a senior majoring in finance, found the conference to be “a special opportunity for students to listen to a few of Madison’s most successful and recognizable alumni. We were able to hear different perspectives from people who essentially live and breathe the industry that many students hope to pursue careers in.” Keynote speakers for the event were: John J. Oros, BBA ’71, managing director of J.C. Flowers & Co. LLC, a New York-based private equity firm and executive chairman of Enstar Group, Limited. Oros previously was a partner and managing director in Goldman Sachs’ Financial Institutions Group. Wade Fetzer III, BS ’59, retired partner and executive of Goldman Sachs, and director of Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan, Sinofert Hong Kong Holdings Ltd., Northern Star Broadcasting, and PCS Inc. Andrew B. Albert, MBA ’69, managing director and operating partner of Svoboda Capital Partners. He serves as chairman of the board of directors of Nashua and previously was chairman and CEO of Nashua. Debra Perry, BA ‘73 (UW History), former chief administrative officer and chief credit officer, Moody’s, the bond rating agency. She serves on the boards of Korn/Ferry International, Conseco, and Bridge Associates LLC. The event was organized with assistance from the Nicholas Center for Corporate Finance and Investment Banking and Wisconsin Business Alumni. Expanding Entrepreneurship’s Reach Entrepreneurship is an area of increasing importance for students, practitioners, academics, and policy makers around the globe. The Wisconsin School of Business is exploring ways to make its strengths in entrepreneurship more accessible to a greater number of students from within the business school, across campus, and beyond. One option: create an entrepreneurship certificate to allow MBA students across all specializations and non-business students from all areas of campus to augment core studies with a solid understanding of entrepreneurship. As part of this new approach, the business school announced this fall that it will phase out MBA career specializations in entrepreneurial management and strategic management in engineering and life sciences. Current students in the programs will graduate with these specialized MBAs, but new students are not being recruited. “Our intention with this new, broader emphasis,” says Dean Michael Knetter, “is to create an even larger community from which students and alumni can draw support and to allow us to become an even greater catalyst for economic activity that benefits the campus, region, and state.” “Life is Still Good for Business Students… in Wisconsin” Daniel Gross is a senior editor of Newsweek and a “Moneybox” columnist for Slate.com. Last spring, he spent five days in Madison as a Business Writer in Residence, talking to classes of business and journalism students. Gross was so impressed by the experience that he wrote a column that appeared on both the Newsweek and Slate websites. In it, he contrasted the upbeat attitude he found among Wisconsin business students with what their counterparts were experiencing in terms of diminished placement prospects due to Wall Street’s meltdown.“But in Madison, the vibe is much different,” Gross wrote. During his visit, Gross took part in a question-and-answer discussion with Dean Michael Knetter before an audience of MBA students at the Wisconsin School of Business. For more than 20 years, the University of WisconsinMadison has brought leading business writers to campus to share their expertise with business and journalism students. UPDATE Fall/Winter 2009 5 UPDATE I On Campus Accounting Student Runs to Big Ten Medal of Honor Accounting major Gwen Jorgensen, one of the most decorated runners at Wisconsin, received the 2009 Medal of Honor from the Big Ten. The award is presented annually at each Big Ten institution to a male and a female studentathlete in the graduating class for demonstrated proficiency in scholarship and athletics. Basketball player Joe Krabbenhoft, a history major, was the other Wisconsin recipient this year. Jorgensen, who graduated in May 2009, is a former Badger swimmer who turned to track and cross country as a sophomore. The Waukesha native was the Big Ten indoor champion in both the 3,000 and 5,000 meters this year. In cross country, she earned All-American honors in 2008 and took home All-Big Ten and All-Region honors as a senior. The Wisconsin School of Business had another Big Ten Medal of Honor winner in recent years. In 2007, Joe Thomas—football star and real estate major— received the award. Wisconsin MBA: A Leader in Sustainability The Wisconsin School of Business full-time MBA program increasingly is recognized for leadership in sustainability management education. This fall, the program was ranked 17th worldwide and 15th in the U.S. in the 2009-2010 “Beyond Grey Pinstripes” list of top 100 business schools for environmental, social, and ethical management education. The survey is conducted bi-annually by the Aspen Institute’s Center for Business Education and is the only global ranking that evaluates MBA programs for efforts to prepare students for new business realities that demand social and environmental stewardship. The previous ranking had the Wisconsin MBA 33rd in the world and 24th in the U.S. 6 UPDATE Fall/Winter 2009 “We take seriously our charge of preparing students with the fundamentals to be high-achieving and responsible future leaders,” said Dean Michael Knetter. “We believe students must understand how environmental and valuesbased leadership is integral to the long-term success of any business.” Wisconsin was recognized for integrating the concept of sustainability into existing courses and developing new courses and programs that specifically address sustainability. One of the most important recent additions to the Wisconsin School of Business is a graduate Certificate in Business, Environment, and Social Responsibility offered in conjunction with UW-Madison’s Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies. Economist Nouriel Roubini When world-renowned economist Nouriel Roubini gave a talk on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus in June, his forecast was bleak: the recession would last throughout 2009, with unemployment reaching 11 percent. Roubini spoke in the Forward Thinking speaking series sponsored by the Wisconsin School of Business and American Family Insurance. A professor of economics at New York University’s Stern School of Business, Roubini was named to TIME magazine’s list of the world’s 100 most influential people earlier this year. BRIGHT Ideas Growing with the recovery By Lynn Welch With many economic indicators beginning to point to the end of the recession, companies need to think about preparing for what’s next. “There are some real questions as to what the new normal will be,” says Jim Woodrum, associate dean for Enterprise MBA programs at the Wisconsin School of Business. “If people think things are going to be like they were before, that’s not the case.” We asked alumni and faculty members at the Wisconsin School of Business for ways companies can embrace new ideas to help them thrive in the changing landscape. UPDATE Fall/Winter 2009 7 Take Care of Your A Team and Your Customers Michael Casey, BBA ’80, MBA ’83, managing director in the Business Development and Investor Relations unit of The Blackstone Group, says the biggest question remaining is how long it will take to generate employment growth. While the answer to that question is largely industry-specific, it’s important to prepare for what’s next, “keep a watchful eye on increased demand,” and determine how best to meet it. That’s tricky, says Casey, because markets today are more volatile. “We live in a world where things happen faster. Information flows faster. Capital flows faster. And things happen faster,” says Casey. “With that dynamic, it is important to be prepared.” It’s a global game now in terms of competing for both capital and labor, and the key to preparing for future success is retaining A-team employees and taking care of customers. Losing top-notch people now will challenge a company’s potential for success down the road. If cuts need to be made it is important to trim strategically to “take care of the A Team during the difficult time to make it though the storm and to the next cycle,” Casey advises. Similarly with customers, Casey believes it’s important now to maintain a high level of service to keep long-term relationships despite market conditions and the near-term challenge of generating new business. The bottom line, according to Casey: “Sometimes people are so blinded by the past that they haven’t looked to the future. Those that will do the best and have the ability to recover will understand, fundamentally, that with misery comes opportunity.” Get Your Financial House in Order James Seward, associate professor of Finance, Investment, and Banking and Prochnow Fellow in Finance, is executive director of the Nicholas Center for Corporate Finance and Investment Banking. The center’s MBA students tackle finance consulting projects on behalf of corporate clients. Seward says the recession has those clients thinking differently about finance and being more creative in terms of raising capital and equity. 8 UPDATE Fall/Winter 2009 It’s a key time for businesses to get their financial house in order. “When the economy was deteriorating, many, many companies lost access to raising funds. They couldn’t borrow money or raise equity. That situation has changed a bit; the market is more hospitable now,” Seward says. Because capital markets tightened, firms have had to learn to make do with what they have and be extremely cautious about how and where they spend money. This has affected employment and hiring. As business picks up, Seward believes it’s important to pay attention to matters of headcount management and create a plan to attract talented, qualified, and motivated employees. But it’s important to manage headcount carefully, Seward warns. “Some companies lost 40 to 60 percent in revenue. They had to learn to do less with less. They really had no choice. The goal was to live to fight another day,” he says. “Because of how frothy things had become before the meltdown began, I think business was so good that companies were adding headcount beyond capacity. As painful as it has been, it was the right thing to do.” Companies that have managed their finances well now have good opportunities to boost competitiveness through mergers and acquisitions. This is evidenced by deals such as Warren Buffet’s recent $26 billion takeover of Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. Others, having instituted a global business model, can take advantage of opportunities in faster-growing markets, like China. Avoid Taking a Bath in a “Bathtub Recovery” Lowell Robinson, a 1971 UW-Madison graduate in economics who earned his MBA at the Harvard Business School, warns that companies have to be “very conservative in terms of how they bet their chips.” “If you believe the data, the economy has at least bottomed out and is starting to recover. But I don’t think, nor does anyone else think, it’s going to be a smooth or fast recovery. It will continue to get better but not dramatically better,” says Robinson, an independent business consultant who serves on the board of Jones Apparel Group, International Wire Group, and the Dean’s Advisory Board of the Wisconsin School of Business. “The recovery also needs to be fueled in terms of consumer spending and people are still really cautious.” To thrive through this so-called “bathtub recovery,” (a rapid economic descent, followed by a prolonged plateau, followed by an eventual recovery) companies should plan to maintain strong balance sheets, good lines of credit, and invest where they see the greatest opportunity, says Robinson. “Companies have to not be circumspect, but probe in terms of where they’re investing their money and where they see the growth coming from.” It’s important to invest in things that will drive costs out of the business, such as new technologies that will provide positive near-term results. Also critical: a culture and leadership that makes companies fast, flexible, and nimble. Companies need to continually analyze competition and their own core competencies. “Doing business today is a lot more difficult than doing business yesterday,” says Robinson. Take the Opportunity to Hire Strategically Jim Woodrum has led the Enterprise MBA programs of the Wisconsin School of Business—Executive and Evening MBA programs that serve working professionals—since August 2009. Previously, he taught management courses in the business school’s Executive Education unit, getting a firsthand look at managers’ concerns. “In the late 1990s and early 2000s, we lived with a war for talent, where people with skills and degrees seemed to have a lot of opportunities and companies were worried about getting the right people and retaining them,” he notes. “Lots of things happened in the last year or two that threw that mindset out, at least temporarily.” Every employee, regardless of skills and talent, feels vulnerable. That presents opportunities for companies to engage in strategic planning. Now that most companies are done “freaking out,” Woodrum advises firms to consider different scenarios they could face in the future. To get the thought process started, Woodrum recommends two books presenting very different views: “The Long Emergency,” a novel by James Howard Kunstler, and “$20 Per Gallon” by Christopher Steiner. It’s also critical, Woodrum says, to consider future geographical opportunities for you and your company, citing Richard Florida’s newest book, “Who’s Your City?” Woodrum believes future success will depend on having strategic hiring and retention efforts underway now. It’s important to give opportunities to top performers and take advantage of hiring opportunities unique to this economy. As he puts it, “It might be true for some that, ‘You should feel lucky to have a job,’ but the top 10 percent can find a job even under these circumstances. And no one likes to be reminded you have them over a barrel.” It’s important to give opportunities to top performers and take advantage of hiring opportunities unique to this economy. Treat Employees Fairly Charlie Trevor, an associate professor of management and human resources and Keller Faculty Fellow, has researched the unintended consequences of the costs of downsizing. To avoid these surprises, Trevor says its essential for companies to act now to shore up plans for hiring and wage incentives in anticipation of the economic upturn. “There’s been unprecedented levels of layoffs and the most important thing companies need to be thinking about from a human resources perspective is how to best restructure their workforce when increased demand needs more production,” notes Trevor. Planning is better than reacting, Trevor stresses, noting that there are a number of strategies that UPDATE Fall/Winter 2009 9 “Figure out how to enter the next recession with a set of processes that let you ramp up investments during the recession so you can leave your competitors in the dust after the recession.” companies can employ now to retain top employees and create a positive environment that will make the firm attractive to future hires. “Studies show pay does matter to keep people in the workplace. And if an employer is going through a major rehire, it’s good to think about restructuring the workplace so it’s attractive to employees or give people more voice in making decisions about how things are done,” Trevor says. With layoffs, employee furloughs, wage freezes, and other benefit reductions commonplace, Trevor has seen low morale and heightened levels of fear, anxiety, and stress for employees. Companies that rest on the philosophy that people should be happy to have a job are employing short-term thinking that holds long-term consequences. Trevor published an article last year in the Academy of Management Journal based on his research on this issue. Its title: “Keeping your headcount when all about you are losing theirs: Downsizing, voluntary turnover rates, and the moderating role of HR practices.” In it, he writes that firms viewed to have acted unfairly or inequitably when conducting layoffs can have higher levels of voluntary turnover when labor markets loosen. “Companies may not be worried about that now, but when times do improve, if they haven’t done a good job of managing the layoff process, they’re much more likely to have people jump ship when they can,” Trevor explains. That could be a while, according to Trevor, who sees indications that companies will be slower to rehire and replace workers. Some are going to a contingency employment model that offers a more flexible temporary solution. Reposition Real Estate for the Market Stephen Malpezzi, Lorin and Marjorie Tiefenthaler Distinguished Chair in Real Estate, says recessions can present opportunities, particularly in the area of real estate. Some of the biggest real estate fortunes were made during economic downturns. For firms with access to capital, the commercial real estate market is very appealing right now. Malpezzi expects to see those with deep pockets—think private equity firms or Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) companies—take advantage of real estate bargains. “Under normal conditions, property owners 10 UPDATE Fall/Winter 2009 refinance, but now it’s so tough to tap capital even if property is doing great,” Malpezzi says. “When you have this situation, property goes into default.” He predicts new development will continue to lag, causing surviving real estate firms to shift emphasis. Companies will focus on better asset management, finding ways to reposition real estate to make commercial, industrial, and retail spaces work for the market. Expect any change in the real estate market to happen slowly. Malpezzi says that if new development picks up next year it will be “remarkably good news.” Remember: Strategy Is Key Mason Carpenter, the M. Keith Weikel Professor in Leadership, says that where a company steers in the future depends in part on where it landed in the economic crunch. “Some businesses have done well throughout and other companies’ performance has been hammered,” Carpenter notes. Companies need a strong strategy, if not before or during the recession, then certainly now to achieve strength into the recovery. According to Carpenter, “This recession has led to a great deal of necessary and sometimes knee-jerk cost cutting and layoffs. Figure out how to enter the next recession with a set of processes that let you ramp up investments during the recession so you can leave your competitors in the dust after the recession.” Able competitors know when to “put on the gas,” Carpenter notes, to take advantage of competitive opportunities during and while emerging from a recession. A good example of one company that has processes in place to create value: Cisco Systems, which continues to invest in processes that makes the business more efficient. “They’re coming out of this saying, ‘We’re going to be stronger and better, not simply smaller,’” Carpenter says of Cisco, which recently negotiated to acquire Norwegian video-conferencing company Tandberg. “The rules of competition are changed by able competitors during recessions, not as a consequence of what they do after them.” Lynn Welch is a Madison-area freelance writer. FUZZY reception New research provides clearer picture of audience size for TV commercials By Lari Fanlund Companies pay big dollars to sell their products via TV ads—nearly $70 billion annually. But are they getting their money’s worth? That question is the subject of new research by David Schweidel, an assistant professor of marketing at the Wisconsin School of Business. UPDATE Fall/Winter 2009 11 It turns out a show’s audience size may not be the best way to judge how many people view its commercials. Schweidel and Robert J. Kent of the University of Delaware analyzed second-by-second tuning data to determine how well TV programs retained their audiences during commercials. Their findings may be unsettling— but useful—to both TV networks and advertisers. They have the potential to affect where advertisers are willing to put their money for TV commercials and how much networks are able to charge for them. For years, media buyers have subscribed to the notion that the bigger audience, the better and, ultimately, the more expensive the ad buy. As such, commercials that run during popular shows such as “Grey’s Anatomy” have yielded more dollars than ads running on less popular programs. “In the past, the assumption was that program audience was a decent predictor for the size of the potential commercial audience,” Schweidel says. “In general, it was expected that the program audience would be 5 to 10 percent larger than the commercial break audience. Our findings support that idea. But, there’s substantial variation—while some commercial breaks are only 2 to 3 percent lower than the program audience, others are as much as 20 percent lower. That’s a big difference in exposure to an ad.”Translation: Advertisers may be overpaying when they buy time on some TV programs, not particularly welcome news “I like to work on problems that are relevant to industry.” —David Schweidel 12 UPDATE Fall/Winter 2009 when the cost of a 30-second network spot can run as high as $400,000. For individual programs, the researchers found “lemons” and “bargains.” The “lemons” were shows like “Hell’s Kitchen” and “Samantha Who?,” which had larger program audiences, but also lost more of their audience compared to other programs. The “bargains” were shows like “Aliens in America” and “Jericho,” which showed less audience decline during commercials than average while drawing smaller program audiences. The researchers also found winners and losers in terms of program genres. In general, dramas do a better job of retaining audiences during commercial breaks than reality shows, sitcoms, or other genres. Schweidel and Kent’s research is notable for being based on actual, second-by-second live viewing data from set-top cable boxes rather than relying on sampling. TNS Media Research provided them with remarkable access to tuning data—information for an entire TV season for five major networks in a large TV market on the West Coast. Although information on program audiences vs. commercial audiences is becoming more available on the national level, there still is little ability to break it down at the level of local markets, Schweidel says. This is why, when he presented the findings in August at the Joint Statistical Meetings, the largest gathering of statisticians in North America, he encountered interest from industry. He expects even more industry interest when an article he and Kent have co-authored on their findings appears in the prestigious Journal of Marketing next spring. “I like to work on problems that are relevant to industry,” Schweidel says. “This fall, the Coalition for Innovative Media Management was formed. It’s a consortium of ad agencies (like Omnicom Media Group and Starcom MediaVest Group) major advertisers (like Procter & Gamble and Unilever), and content providers (like NBC Universal and Disney Media Networks). A key area the coalition hopes to explore is ways to accurately measure viewership using set-top box data. So I think our research is very timely.” Schweidel concedes there are limits to what information the tuning data provides. Like other measurement systems, it shows what stations a TV is tuned to and gives a measure of viewers’ opportunity to see the ads, but it doesn’t directly measure viewing. Other types of analysis, such as experiments that track viewers’ eyes, could be used to supplement the findings, Schweidel says. But for now, second-bysecond tuning data is as good as it gets. Schweidel brings his research findings into the classroom. “I teach the undergraduate marketing research class, and one of the big topics is what marketing needs to be accountable,” he says. “It’s not enough to say ‘Give me this marketing budget.’ You need to demonstrate what you’re going to do with those results. You need to be able to say, ‘Here’s the return on my investment in marketing.’” At the graduate level, Schweidel teaches a course on handling data and used the vast amount of data in this research as a prime example. “The amount of data that’s being collected from the cable operators is huge—you’re dealing with gigabytes of data and that’s just for one day and just one market,” he says. “One of the things that we try to impart to our students is that having data is great, but you have to avoid ‘analysis paralysis.’ You’ve got to be able to get over that and decide, ‘What do we do with this data? How do we get those insights? How do we make decisions based on it?’” Schweidel is exploring additional research areas in TV advertising. Next up: How people respond to product placement embedded in TV programs. Schweidel is working on that topic with Marketing Professor Tom O’Guinn, who heads the school’s Center for Brand and Product Management. He’s also doing research on the interplay between product placement and advertising with his Marketing Department colleague, Assistant Professor Rob Tanner, and Natasha Foutz of the University of Virginia. Schweidel doesn’t see himself getting tired of researching aspects of TV advertising any time soon. As he says with a laugh, “I’m probably one of the few people who would like a TiVo box that skips programs instead of skipping the commercials.” Lari Fanlund is communications director for the Wisconsin School of Business. Other findings: People are less likely to avoid commercials late at night. How many set-top boxes stay tuned during a commercial break is related to the length of the commercial break and whether commercials are being shown on other channels. The gap between program and potential commercial-break audiences can vary during an episode. UPDATE Fall/Winter 2009 13 The War for Young Talent Internships matter—to students and employers By Lari Fanlund Over the past 10 to 15 years, internships have become an increasingly important part of a business student’s portfolio. Having had at least one internship has become almost a requirement for landing a top job at graduation. That’s especially true for Wisconsin School of Business graduates. In 2009, 99 percent of the school’s MBA graduates had internships, as did more than 90 percent of its undergrads. But achieving desired results for both the intern and the company doesn’t just happen. It takes serious thought, planning, and commitment on both sides. And the current economy is having effects—good and bad—on the number, type, and purpose of internships. Taking a Test Drive Employers use internships to test-drive potential employees. It’s a comparatively low-cost, low-risk talent pipeline that many companies find particularly attractive in this economic climate. In some cases, companies look for interns to do more because they are short-staffed due to layoffs. On the other hand, an organization that has recently frozen salaries or laid off workers may be reluctant to hire interns due to 14 UPDATE Fall/Winter 2009 fears of resistance from remaining employees. The National Association of Colleges and Employers estimates internships for college students will decline by nearly 21 percent this year. Career services professionals at the Wisconsin School of Business, however, say the demand for Wisconsin students remains strong. One reason Wisconsin MBA students have been able to prosper in a more competitive internship world is the nature of the program. The Wisconsin MBA is based on highly focused career specializations that offer students access to professionals in their chosen field. Cynthia Adams, director of the business school’s Nicholas Center for Corporate Finance and Investment Banking, for example, said the center’s external board of advisors plays a major role in the center’s ability to help MBA students locate relevant summer employment prior to their second year. More than 30 financial executives from leading financial service companies, investment banks, consulting firms, and corporate offices serve on the board. “Our board members are actively involved in all aspects of the summer internship recruiting process,” Adams says. “They share their expertise through mock interviews, résumé critiques, by facilitating on- or off-campus interviewing, and by mentoring students. Their commitment to the professional development of our students is critical to the program’s success.” On the undergraduate level, companies continue to put major resources into formal internship programs because they see substantial benefits, says Steve Schroeder, assistant dean for undergraduate programs, who directs the Business Career Center. “Companies get to see students’ work ethic, their communication skills, their ability to work as part of a team, their initiative, their motivation, their leadership. It’s much more than what they can get from a 30- or 60-minute interview for a permanent position. It gives companies a good indication of whether they want a person to become a permanent member of their team,” he says. Matt Nelson, associate director of MBA Career Management, sees similar benefits for MBA employers. “More and more companies use interns as a source of full-time candidates,” he says. “They interview potential interns as if they were long-term candidates. They use the internship to gauge the students’ skills and fit with the company. In many cases it’s an extended process.” What’s New? Internships for business students have changed in many ways in recent years. One positive change is that more companies recognize the mistake in thinking of interns as expendable bodies to toss at random, low-level assignments. At the MBA level, Nelson sees interns being used for more strategic, project-based work. “Companies think of their interns as possible full-time employees and work to structure internships to provide the experience they need to stay engaged,” says Nelson. Formal internships with specific deliverables have become the norm. (See tips for successful internship programs, p.16.) Companies also are being more strategic about placing interns in the departments where they are most needed, which might not be the unit in which an intern worked in the past. Companies traditionally have offered undergraduate internships the summer following a student’s junior year, with the potential of employment at graduation. Increasingly, however, companies are offering internships following the UPDATE Fall/Winter 2009 15 [ • Think in advance about what you want to accomplish by using interns. Make sure you know the skill sets most relevant to your needs and review your wish list at least annually. • Select well. The best chance to ensure a successful internship is to select high-caliber interns with appropriate qualifications. The more thought you put into the selection process, the better the chance for good outcomes. • Set clear objectives. Develop assignments that will match interns’ skill levels and are realistic considering the time available. Discrete projects with firm deadlines are often the easiest to assign successfully to interns. • Provide an infrastructure that will allow your interns to succeed. The orientation, mentoring, and feedback that are essential for permanent hires are important for interns, too. A thorough orientation tailored to what an intern needs to know to succeed in your organization— especially the unwritten rules— can pay long-term benefits. 16 UPDATE Fall/Winter 2009 • Review compensation. At least once a year, review intern salaries to make sure they are in line with what your competitors offer in order to attract the caliber of intern you seek. Many companies now offer housing stipends in addition to salary. You may want to explore this option if your company is based in a high-cost location. • Help interns develop social networks. Employers increasingly recognize the importance of social interaction to today’s workforce, so more of them are choosing to include social activities as part of their internship programs. • Take advantage of exit interviews. The best person to identify ways to make better use of future interns is the intern working in your office right now. Providing suggestions for process improvements should be a required assignment for all interns. • Develop a structured intern-tofull-time conversion process. A successful internship program identifies ideal candidates for permanent positions. Make the most of it. Have a system in place so your top interns will be offered permanent positions—and will want to accept them! sophomore or even the freshman year. Many aim for students to have multiple summers of experience with their firm under their belt by graduation. A few companies will only hire their own former interns for entry-level, post-graduation positions. The result: students are having to make internship decisions with career implications earlier than ever before. The desire to increase students’ opportunities to gain relevant work experience was one reason the Wisconsin School of Business moved from junior to sophomore admissions this fall. But even before the change, multiple internships were already becoming more common at the undergraduate level. A good example: Mark McFarland, a Finance, Investment, and Banking major, who is set to graduate this May. The summer following his sophomore year, McFarland was a risk-consulting intern for Marsh, a leading risk broker and advisor based in Dublin, Ireland. During his junior year, he interned with Merrill Lynch Private Wealth Management in Madison. And the summer following his junior year, he interned with Edward Jones in its corporate offices in St. Louis, Mo. McFarland says having multiple internships helped fine tune his communication skills. “I not only learned how to effectively communicate with co-workers, but how to display the professionalism of a financial services firm while interacting with clients on a daily basis.” In some fields, internships are moving from paid to unpaid due to the state of the economy. Unpaid internships may be able to attract good candidates in very high-demand fields, but in most business fields paid internships remain the norm. “We haven’t seen an increase in unpaid internships,” says Schroeder. “There are certainly some unpaid internships out there, but the vast majority of companies who recruit with us offer paid internships. They need to, in order to remain competitive.” Students may think companies are in the driver’s seat when it comes to internships, but it’s actually a two-way street, according to Bruce Ellig, BBA ‘59, MBA ‘60, former head of human resources at Pfizer and author of several books on compensation. “Interns come back to school at the end of the summer and they talk about their experience. If they say, ‘Boy, what a big waste of time that was— I counted paper clips most of the time,’ word gets out that it’s not a good company to work for,” he says. “If companies want to attract the best and brightest with their internship program, they need to do it well or not do it.” What It Means For some companies, internships are an afterthought. But done right, they can play an important role in helping firms construct an optimal workforce. A good example of a major employer that has incorporated a highly structured internship program into its hiring process is GE, which typically recruits at Wisconsin each year for both MBAs and undergraduates. Traci Diciaula, who recruits for GE, says the company has found its internship program to be, “a tremendous pipeline for full-time hires and future leaders. It’s a great way for both the company and the candidate to feel confident in their choice. Interns have a fresh, cutting-edge perspective on tough business challenges.” Similarly, while some students may view their internship as just another notch on their résumé, it can be much more. It can be a way to explore a company or an industry. To uncover what they really enjoy doing. To learn how to lead and how to be part of a team. It can be a chance to spread their wings and put what they’ve learned in the classroom into practice. “The value of any internship is what you make of it,” says Stephanie Lenz, an MBA student in real estate, who interned this summer with Hovde Properties. Lentz says she would tell incoming students to, “treat your internship as an opportunity not just to expand your experience, but to produce focused, thorough work incorporating the skills acquired in your first year,” she says. “If you approach any internship with the right attitude, you can ensure the experience will be successful for you and your employer.” Lari Fanlund is the editor of UPDATE. decisions with career implications earlier than ever before.

Interning Around the World Ben Hesprich, a Management and Human Resource major, spent summer 2009 interning with Save the Children in India—his third international internship. Previously, he interned in Portugal with the life science research firm, Promega, and with the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. In India, he worked with Save the Children to design quality standards for primary schools. Hesprich has passed his Foreign Service exam for a full-time position following his December 2009 graduation. “ I learned how to become a true self starter, going from knowing very little about educationrelated issues in India to knowing enough to help shape standards of quality that can be used in schools across the country.

UPDATE Fall/Winter 2009 39 UPDATE I Alumni News 5 UPDATE I Dean’s Advisory Board Questions Bryan Duggan, BBA ’99, (left) appeared on ABC’s “Shark Tank” with business partner Adam McCombs to compete for funding for their company. You can watch Photo: Sander Schoonbeek If you watched the business-themed reality TV show “Shark Tank” on ABC this fall, you will have seen Brian Duggan, BBA ’99. Duggan competed on the program alongside his business partner and cofounder of the company, Adam McCombs. They pitched the business idea for their company, JumpForward, to a panel of major investors, who ended up being so impressed they paid $600,000 for a 50-percent stake in the company. UPDATE’s Kaylene Reilly spoke with Duggan and learned how even a reality TV show can be a valuable tool in the hands of an entrepreneur. Let’s start back a couple of years. Your career was in investment banking. How did JumpForward come about? The original concept was developed by another UW-Madison graduate, Sarah Bilek, and her husband, Adam McCombs. As high school athletes, they had long been frustrated with the enormous cost and time it takes for high school athletes to “get noticed.” Their idea was to help high school athletes navigate the recruiting system and also provide them with free information and services to connect with college coaches and recruiters. I can’t take credit for the idea; they brought me in to help structure the business model and execute on the concept. JumpForward has been pegged as the social networking tool for athletes. What makes it stand out? There are a number of websites that enable high school athletes to create a profile. However, JumpForward guides them through the entire recruiting process with video tutorials, a database with over 55,000 college coaches’ contact information, and tools to monitor and track all correspondence with each coach. At the same time, we are the only solution that also caters to college coaches, so both the athlete and coach are using the same platform. the drama for yourself at jumpforward.com. How did the reality TV show, “Shark Tank,” play into your strategy? My brother told me about the show and we saw an opportunity to gain access to capital and build brand awareness. For the last two years, we have bootstrapped our way along, investing much of our savings in the business. We knew it was time to bring in “smart capital.” You went in asking for $150k for a 10-percent stake in the company and you left with $600k, giving up 50 percent. I’m guessing that was a win for you. Yes. Dollars aside, there is a lot of value in “smart money.” The connections and experience we’ve brought onto our team and the exposure we have received as a result can’t be overvalued. This was an important milestone for us. Now we are in negotiations with our new partners to determine next steps. How have you coped with national attention generated by the show? We have received an incredible response from the show. In the first three weeks since it aired the website has received millions of hits. While all this attention can create some great opportunities, it’s important we keep focused on our mission and not get too distracted by everything that publicity brings. Stephen M.
