Our discussion will be led by a panel of experts who have cross-industry expertise in healthcare and life sciences. Among our alumni panelists will be: David Betts (MBA '02), Senior Manager, Strategy & Operations, Healthcare, Deloitte Consulting Donald R. Fischer, MD, MBA, Senior Vice President, Highmark Inc.

Alumni Reunion Weekend - Alumni Finance Panel
Event Date: 10/13/2006 3:00 p.m.
Location: Cooper Auditorium, 1st Floor, Posner Hall
Cosponsored By: The Graduate Finance Association and The Tepper Investment Club
Tepper Alumni Finance Panel on: How do Financial Intermediaries Add Value? Business school train students for careers in financial services, and many of our students perceive these jobs as elite placements. Much of the research in financial economics involves the role the intermediaries play in the economy. Yet there is no consensus about how value is added through the provision of financial services, and about why these careers are often so lucrative. Dramatically different views on these questions are evident in debates about public and corporate policy, in the career choices students make, and among academic researchers. Are financial intermediaries facilitating the flow of capital, or impeding it? Are they educating their clients and customers to make more informed financial choices, or they exploiting the ignorance and naivete of the people they deal with? Are financial professionals earning rewards for initiative, talent, and accumulated knowledge, or are they collecting rents as entrenched beneficiaries of the status quo? Our alumni panel represents a range of career paths in the financial services industry. They will share how their experiences and reflections shed light on how intermediaries add value. Faculty Moderator: Dr. Richard C. Green, Richard M. and Margaret S. Cyert Professor of Economics and Management; Chair, Ph.D. Program; Recipient of 1996 George Leland Bach Teaching Award Panelists include: Anil Bhalla (MSIA '71), Managing Director, Asia Pacific Investment Bank, JPMorgan Securities Inc. Jim Foster (MSIA '86), Managing Director, Greycourt & Co. Inc. Uday Rajan (MSIA '86), Assoc. Professor of Finance, Stephen M.

You are invited to join us for an Alumni Luncheon with Dr. Allan Meltzer at The Rivers Club on Thursday, January 26, 2006 from 12:00-1:30 p.m. Dr. Meltzer will speak on the topic of "Lessons Learned from the History of the Fed and Future Prospects". It promises to be a very lively and insightful discussion.
The cost of the luncheon is $25.00 which covers the cost of the luncheon buffet. Alumni and their guests may register in advance online at www.tepper.cmu.edu/alumni/pit using your VISA, MasterCard or American Express Card. The on-site registration cost is $30.00 by cash or check at the door.
Dr. Meltzer is the Allan H. Meltzer University Professor of Political Economy at Carnegie-Mellon University, where he has taught since 1957; he has been a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute since 1989. He has been a policy adviser to several U.S. administrations, beginning with that of President John F. Kennedy, and to several foreign governments and central banks and he was a member of President Ronald Reagan's Council of Economic Advisers from 1988–1989. The author of more than 300 academic studies and a regular contributor to the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and Los Angeles Times, he is the author of A History of the Federal Reserve published by the University of Chicago Press.
In recent years, Mr. Meltzer has been best known in Washington policy circles as chairman of the International Financial Institution Advisory Commission, a bipartisan, congressionally chartered group that recommended fundamental reforms to the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and regional development banks. The Meltzer Commission's proposals have been at the center of international financial and development policy debate since the Commission's final report in March 2000. The commission recommended that these institutions write off their claims against heavily-indebted poor nations, that economic development policies emphasize grants and strict accountability rather than loans, and that IMF lending activities forswear "bailouts" of lenders to nations facing self-inflicted economic crises and focus exclusively on providing short-term liquidity.

Strategy and Leadership with Dr. Jeffrey Williams
Event Date: 4/29/2004 6:30 p.m.
Location: Carnegie Mellon Campus - Posner Hall
Speaker: Dr. Jeffrey Williams, Professor of Business Strategy at the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mello
Strategy and Leadership Lecture
April 29, 2004
Location: Carnegie Mellon
Please note that the date of this event has been changed to Thursday, April 29, 2004! A reception will be held at 6:30 PM followed by the lecture at 7:00 PM.
Join the Pittsburgh Alumni Clan for an evening with Dr. Jeffrey Williams, Professor of Business Strategy at Carnegie Mellon's business school on Thursday, April 29, 2004 at Carnegie Mellon's Posner Hall.
Dr. Williams will speak on "Strategy and Leadership." He will look at how management is undergoing a fundamental sea change from the century-old ideas that advantage is sustainable to the new realization that nothing lasts forever. How are managers repositioning their organizations for long term success and rethinking their own personal career paths? What does it mean to think strategically in the emerging Schumpeterian world and how do we define personal fulfillment?
Professor Williams helps organizations renew advantage in a world where nothing lasts. He focuses on balancing time-tested business thinking with the new business models that are emerging in the modern economy. His approach centers on the principle that nothing lasts forever; that all products and services are shaped by the forces of "creative destruction" and the global capital markets. He is developing a set of tools that helps managers recapitalize ever-aging assets on an ongoing basis.
He heads up an ongoing study of the rise and fall of advantage of hundreds of products and services in 45 industries. By combining the insights from best practices in technology and economics, these patterns of success and failure are the focus of his acclaimed book, Renewable Advantage: Crafting Strategy through Economic Time, published by the Free Press.
He advises executive audiences on emerging business best practices and strategies for change. His clients have included AT&T, Southwestern Bell, Westinghouse, Bristol-Myers Squibb, National Semiconductor, Mellon Bank, McKinsey, United Technologies, Goodyear, Bell Labs, and IBM.
He has authored some 40 studies on business strategy, including works for The Journal of Law and Economics, The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, Fundamental Issues in Strategy, Industrial and Corporate Change, the Federal Trade Commission, the Sloan Foundation, and the National Science Foundation. He is on the editorial board of the Strategic Management Journal and his work has received the California Management Review Pacific Telesis Award for best new thinking in management.
Dr. Wiliams has been twice awarded the George Leland Bach Prize for excellence in education at Carnegie Mellon.

Second, a Marketing panel in March or April, and a third panel on personal finance or career issues in the second half of the year. We also would like to continue the breakfast speaker series and will investigate the possibility of holding at least one during lunch, instead of breakfast. Finally, we plan on hosting some happy hours geared toward the social interaction goals. We broke into small group to accomplish these goals with the intent to meet again as a larger group in December to solidify the schedule and identify a plan to accomplish each event. We also want to increase the number of Alumni actively serving on the local committee for the Pittsburgh Alumni Chapter. The Office of Alumni Relations will provide free pizza and drinks.

Alumni Evening Update with Dr. Jeffrey Williams
Event Date: 4/23/2003 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
Location: The Pittsburgh Field Club
Speaker: Jeffrey R. Williams, Professor of Management Strategy
Dr. Jeffrey R. Williams, Professor of Management Strategy at Carnegie Mellon's Graduate School of Industrial Administration will speak on the topic of "Tomorrow's Manager" in the North Hills on Wednesday, April 23, 2003.

Professor Williams helps organizations renew advantage in a world where nothing lasts. He focuses on balancing time-tested business thinking with the new business models that are emerging in the modern economy.
His approach centers on the principle that nothing lasts forever; that all products and services are shaped by the forces of “creative destruction” and the global capital markets. He is developing a set of tools that helps managers recapitalize ever-aging assets on an ongoing basis.
He heads up an ongoing study of the rise and fall of advantage of hundreds of products and services in 45 industries. By combining the insights from best practices in technology and economics, these patterns of success and failure are the focus of his acclaimed book, Renewable Advantage: Crafting Strategy through Economic Time, published by the Free Press.
He advises executive audiences on emerging business best practices and strategies for change. His clients have included AT&T, Southwestern Bell, Westinghouse, Bristol-Myers Squibb, National Semiconductor, Mellon Bank, McKinsey, United Technologies, Goodyear, Bell Labs, and IBM.
He has authored some 40 studies on business strategy, including works for The Journal of Law and Economics, The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, Fundamental Issues in Strategy, Industrial and Corporate Change, the Federal Trade Commission, the Sloan Foundation, and the National Science Foundation. He is on the editorial board of the Strategic Management Journal and his work has received the California Management Review Pacific Telesis Award for best new thinking in management. He has been twice awarded the George Leland Bach Prize for excellence in education.
