The London Business School Club of New York proudly presents:
Professor Gary Hamel
"The Ultimate Competitive Advantage"

Over the past 100 years, the most profound and enduring shifts in competitive position have come from management innovation — dramatic breakthroughs in how companies are managed, led and structured. In this talk, Gary Hamel will show you how you can:

- Anticipate the "over-the-horizon" management challenges that will determine success in the years ahead
- Successfully challenge the outmoded management orthodoxies that limit success
- Uncover the new management principles that will determine industry leadership in the future
- Build a capability for ongoing management innovation across your company.

Gary Hamel, Visiting Professor at London Business School and author of Leading the Revolution and Competing for the Future, has had 15 articles appear in the Harvard Business Review in the last 20 years. He is the most reprinted author in the publication's history. The Journal of Business Strategy has put Hamel in the same category as Henry Ford and Bill Gates, as "one of the 25 most influential business thinkers of the 20th century." Hamel is a sought-after speaker at the World Economic Forum in Davos and Fortune 500 Global Summit.

For 10 years, Hamel served as Chairman of Strategos, a company that helps its clients make innovation a way of life. With the goal of helping companies drive "innovation to the core," Strategos has trained tens of thousands of individuals around the world in the art of business innovation.

As a consultant and management educator, Hamel has worked for companies as diverse as General Electric, Nokia, Nestle, Shell, Best Buy, Procter & Gamble, 3M, IBM, and Microsoft. His pioneering concepts such as "strategic intent," "core competence," "industry revolution" and "corporate resilience" have changed the practice of management in companies around the world. Hamel also advises national leaders on matters of innovation policy, entrepreneurship and industrial competitiveness.

At present, Hamel is leading an effort at the London Business School to build the world’s first "Management Innovation Lab." The Lab is a pioneering attempt to create a setting in which progressive companies and world renowned management scholars work together to co-create "tomorrow’s best practices" today. The goal: dramatically accelerating the evolution of management knowledge and practice.

He is a fellow of the World Economic Forum and serves on the editorial board of the Strategic Management Journal. Hamel lives in Northern California.

Tuesday November 7th – `CIAO BELLA: the search for my Italian father'

Location: London Business School

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business United Kingdom Alumni Chapter

Co-Sponsored By: LBS

The London Business School Alumni Women's Network is pleased to
invite you to our two upcoming events:

Tuesday November 7th – `CIAO BELLA: the search for my Italian father'

Out of the blue, at the age of twelve, Helena Frith Powell's mother
gave her a letter after school saying that her real father would like
to get in touch with her and that he was Italian. She met him shortly
afterwards and was mesmerised by him and his many girl friends, and
stunned by his advice on sex and relationships. Yet they stayed in
touch irregularly and she lost touch when he stormed out of her
wedding at the age of thirty.

Five years later, having written two successful books he suddenly got
back in touch. Visiting him in Italy she desperately wanted to
understand him and the peculiarly strong emotional bonds that tied
them together despite his unreliable nature. In this emotional

Columbia: Made in New York Series featuring Inc. 500 CEOs

Location: HellerEhrman LLP

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business New York City Alumni Chapter

Made in New York Series featuring Inc. 500 CEOs
Entrepreneurs from Inc. Magazine's venerable ranking of the nations fastest growing firms challenge myths of what it takes to start and build a business in the Big Apple.

Each year, Inc. magazine compiles the Inc. 500, a list of the nation's fastest-growing private companies in terms of revenue growth. Alumni of the list include Microsoft, Intuit, Oracle, Qualcomm, Timberland, and E*Trade, as well as the makers of American Girl dolls, Sonicare toothbrushes, and Gummi Bears.

Despite these one-of-a-kind successes, however, 94% of all Inc. 500 companies thrive in established markets where they must outperform competing products or services in order to prosper. The large majority of all Inc. 500 companies are funded from personal savings, and family and friends. On average, founders raised $75,000 in seed capital. One in five of the Inc. 500 entrepreneurs holds an M.B.A.

Fully a third of companies chosen for this years list are based in the New York metropolitan area. Many of them were started in the periods immediately before and after September 11th, when experts feared that the local economy would falter. A panel of founders from the 2006 list of Inc. 500 companies will discuss what problems they set out to solve, how they built their companies at a frenetic New York pace, and where they go from here.

Confirmed Panelists:
Seth Merrin, the founder of Liquidnet Holdings, a $162 million dollar company founded in New York in 2001. With operations in the U.S. and Europe, the company trades large blocks of stocks electronically for institutional investors. This year, the firm, which grew at a rate of 587.1% between 2002 and 2005, will expand into Asia.

Lexy Funk, the co-founder of Brooklyn Industries. The bustling six-year-old retail chain, which caters to hipsters, recently opened a West Village store. Annual revenue is close to $5 million. Funk will talk about how she and her partner Vahap Avsar have dealt with everything from finding the right real estate to fending off a gang of vandals who objected to the fact that the chain was commercializing street culture.

Brian Cohn, founder and CEO of Leviathan, a company that exports American business equipment to Asia and Africa. Cohn wrote Leviathan's business plan with some fellow students while studying for his MBA at NYU. The company now has $15 million in annual sales, and is setting up operations in China

Date & Time: Thursday, 26th of October from 6:00 p.m.- 8:00 p.m.

Alumni Reunion Weekend - Alumni Finance Panel

Location: Cooper Auditorium, 1st Floor, Posner Hall

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business Pittsburgh Alumni Chapter

Co-Sponsored 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

The Graduates Club: REALeadership for a New Future

Location: Penn Club of New York

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business New York City Alumni Chapter

Speaker: William Marre

"REALeadership for a New Future"
William Marre, Co-Founder of the Covey Leadership Center and Founder of the American Dream Project

You are cordially invited you to join us for a morning of networking and discussion featuring a presentation entitled "ReaLeadership for a New Future," by William Marre, Co-Founder of the Covey Leadership Center and Founder of the American Dream Project. The future of leadership looks like a train wreck. The leaders of today are having a difficult time focusing, motivating, and retaining a younger generation of leaders. Nearly 80% of workers do not trust their employers. Much of the American workforce is angry, stressed out and largely disengaged. But leaders of the future think and act vastly differently than the people currently in charge. The Next Generation simply have a different agenda. If leaders do not adapt to the new reality more companies will lose their edge. Today to gain loyalty and commitment, leaders must stand for something. Something that matters.

In this presentation, Will Marre addresses why leaders fail, why they succeed and how your design, desire and drive will determine your leadership success and life satisfaction. Will's insights will be featured in an upcoming PBS Special and this is a special opportunity to see his dynamic message live.

Will Marre co-founded the Covey Leadership Center, now Franklin Covey, with Stephen Covey which became the largest leadership training organization in the world. He translated the concepts of "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" into powerful leadership courses taught to over one million managers and executives. Will is currently CEO of REALeadership Alliance and recently launched the American Dream Project, an educational initiative focused on reigniting the American Dream in the 21st Century.

Annual Tepper Alumni Wine Tasting Party in Napa Valley

Location: O'Brien Family Vineyards

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business San Francisco Alumni Chapter

You are invited to attend a special Alumni Wine Tasting Party on Saturday, June 24, 2006 in the beautiful southern Napa Valley at an award-winning vineyard owned by one of our alumni. You will have the opportunity to have lunch, taste several different wines, tour the winery, and taste wine directly from the barrels.

The afternoon will begin at 12:30 p.m. and will include a buffet style lunch, Chardonnay and Merlot wine tasting, a winery tour, a winemaking lecture by winemaker, barrel to barrel tasting and comparison and a stroll through the beautiful vineyard.

The O'Brien Family Vineyard is owned by Bart and Barb O'Brien, who purchased the former Costello winery from John Costello in March 2000. Bart is a 1981 graduate from the Tepper School and a seasoned entrepreneur and inspirational leader who has been on the founding team of three companies; one which is growing successfully in a pre-IPO stage, another which was acquired for $250 million, and a third which went public with an initial market capitalization of $1.8 billion.

The winery was built in 1978 and produced approximately 8,400 cases of Chardonnay annually. The winery is unusual in that it is entirely self-contained, with everything required to turn grapes into wine, including a bottling line. The family-owned vineyard produces a wonderful Chardonnay, a rich, voluptuous Merlot and the award-winning Seduction, a Bordeaux-style blend.

Registration is limited so we advise you to RSVP as soon as possible online at: http://www.tepper.cmu.edu/alumni/sf

The cost is $35.00 per person (payment in advance via credit card or check) which includes a catered lunch and an afternoon of wine drinking (more than just tasting). (On-site payment is $45.00).

You are more than welcome to make it a day for your family. Often couples arrange an overnight stay at a nearby inn. Children are free, however, we do ask that you RSVP for them so that we know how many to anticipate. We will have ping pong, basketball hoop, and movies for their entertainment.

Directions: O'Brien Family Vineyards, Oak Knoll District of southern Napa Valley; The vineyard is located between the cities of Napa and Yountville, just off 1/2 mile west of Highway 29. For directions from various locations go to: http://www.obrienfamilyvineyard.com/directions.htm

Our leading lady (our only lady), Wanda, performed by Nancy Evans is wise, witty and maybe a little wicked, traveling the world, unraveling all the riddles of romance. She, along with her Argentinean Band, will take every detour she can find as she guides you through her musical journey.

In our story, Wanda is being bombarded with emails, voice mails, messages and even an occasional letter. Men are after her and she is after them. Alluring and beguiling, Wanda uses instant access, (cell phone, computer, the works), to captivate her next conquest or even just to locate him. She
can't decide which is the most fun, the chase or being chased! With the help of friends and websites, Wanda travels North and South and then across the Atlantic searching for some sort of relationship, all the while trying to unravel the mystery of "LOVE". Who she meets, how she meets them and where they find each other is part of the intrigue. As her journey progresses, the fun escalates with each encounter. Muscle-bound men, Flirtatious Banter, Lilac Bushes, Ringing Bells, Palpitations, Lips on fire, Pasta al dente. And that's just the first act! Who will win her heart? Danny, Carlos or
Franz? The chase is on----

She's sure to capture your heart as she leaves you with a smile. This is a night at the theater, not to be missed.

The da Vinci Code walk

Location: Temple Underground station

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business United Kingdom Alumni Chapter

Read the book. See the movie. Now walk the walk. The club will to trace Tom Hank’s footsteps across London landmarks through a guided tour. This will be followed by a lazy Sunday afternoon pint in a cheery pub.

People have long sensed the high strangeness of London. That some of its nodal points appear to be the foci of arcane secrets; that the Monument and Nelson's column - can it be a coincidence that they're both 202 feet high? - cast significant shadows at the summer solstice; that there appears to be "intelligent design" in London's alignments and angles; that there could well be a secret gnosis incorporated into the architecture of some of our most famous buildings; that a 1960 mural by Jean Cocteau in a hidden little London church suggests that he and Leonardo da Vinci were collaborators across the centuries - and that their religious beliefs were not nearly as orthodox as the history books would lead us to believe. Dan Brown's best-selling novel lifts the lid on some of these matters. As does Gerard de Sede's The Templars Are Among Us. And if they're right...it's a live rail running right through our culture. "Heretical beliefs", the goddess mystery, sexual alchemy secrets, mastery over time itself, gateways where the human and divine worlds meet; a church that's allegedly denied its true roots.

Booking: £6.50 (Stanford Club GB paid up members), £8.00 non- members. Guests welcome

Since 1975, the US has made no serious effort to reduce petroleum demand, but rather has tried to increase domestic supply. That policy has led to the current gasoline prices.

Lave's published papers include, "Evaluating Automobile Fuel/Propulsion System Technologies," "Predicting Human Carcinogenicity," "Market Power in Deregulated Wholesale Electricity Markets," and "Bolstering the Security of the Electric Power System."

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business Seattle Alumni Chapter

MIT Presents:

Technology Sales in China
Bumps, Bruises and Breakthrough Decisions

May 17, 2006

According to the Washington Post, trade with China was worth more than $20 billion last year to Washington State. In his recent meeting with Governor Christine Gregoire, Chinese President Hu said he did not choose to visit Seattle simply because it is the closest major U.S. city to China. "It is also because your state enjoys very good cooperative relations with my country," he said.

Whether it’s manufacturing or marketing, NW companies are among the first in the US to break into the Chinese market. Beyond the headlines and huge deals with Boeing and Microsoft, China is also shaking hands with a host of small and mid-size technology firms producing everything from device programmers to software. Successful deals are often the product of a complex courtship played out on a vast stage with numerous acts.

On May 17th, we will explore how several mid-size NW companies are bringing their products to market in this complicated environment. Our presenters and panelists will share their personal experiences developing a presence in China, including the wrong turns, U-turns and turning points.

Moderator:
Nelson Dong, Partner, Asian Practice at Dorsey & Whitney. President of the Washington State China Relations Council

Presenting Company:
Fred Hume, President & CEO, Data I/O

Panelists:
Benson Shen, President & CEO Lightel Technologies
Wistar Kay, Business Development Manager, Washington State Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development (CTED)

Location: The Rachel Mellon Walton Room, Ground Floor of Posner Hall

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business Pittsburgh Alumni Chapter

Co-Sponsored By: The Wharton Club of Western Pennsylvania; Cohen & Grigsby, P.C.

Speaker: Robert A. Rudzki, (WG '77, Tepper PFE ’96), president of Greybeard Advisors,

Tepper alumni are invited to join together with Wharton alumni on Tuesday May 2, 2006 at 6:00 p.m. to hear national business leader and author, Robert A. Rudzki (WG '77, PFE/TPR '96) speak on "The Executive's Roadmap to Outstanding Corporate Performance". The reception will be held in the Rachel Mellon Walton Room on the ground floor of Posner Hall at the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon.

Recent studies have shown that the average life expectancy of corporations is only 40 to 50 years. How can your company avoid this fate?

Robert A. Rudzki, (WG '77, PFE/TPR ’96) and president of Greybeard Advisors, will give us his insights on this question along with a sneak preview of his new book, to be published later this year. The new book follows on the heels of Straight to the Bottom Line, his recently-published book that he wrote with three other executives. Straight is a definitive roadmap to world-class supply management that shows senior corporate executives how to turn the enormous top-line and bottom-line potential of supply chain management into reality.

Prior to founding Greybeard Advisors in 2004, Mr. Rudzki served as Senior Vice President for Bayer Corp. At Bayer, he led a nationally-recognized transformation that generated significant improvements in costs and working capital. Prior to Bayer he served as a senior officer of Bethlehem Steel Corp.

Ambassador Feisal Amin al-Istrabadi
Alternate Permanent Representative
Iraqi Ambassador to the United Nations

Ever wonder what it was like to be in Baghdad writing the governing documents that would shape a nation? Feisal Amin al-Istrabadi left his home in Chesterton, Indiana and returned to the country he left at age 8 to help draft the Iraqi provisional constitution. The Indiana University alumnus (J.D. 1988) entered the crucible where explosive questions of religion, sharing of power, civil and women's rights were being debated. On April 26th, hear Ambassador Istrabadi's encore presentation as he provides an insider's perspective on Iraq's evolving government and future challenges.

Ambassador Feisal Amin al-Istrabadi will speak on "Constitutionalism, The Rule of Law, and the Role of Business in Stabilizing Iraq." Feisal Istrabadi, Indiana University J.D. (1988) helped draft the Iraqi provisional constitution and is now Ambassador and Alternate Permanent Representative of the Republic of Iraq to the United Nations. This event is produced by Indiana's Kelley School, MBACorp and Michigan's Ross School of Business.

The Istrabadi family came from Iraq to the United States in the early 1970's. Feisal Amin al-Istrabadi attended Indiana University Law School and received his degree in 1988. Slightly more than one year ago, Mr. Istrabadi was residing in Chesterton, Indiana when he was contacted and asked to go to Baghdad to help draft the Iraqi provisional constitution. He completed that assignment, and Feisal Amin al-Istrabadi is now Ambassador and Alternate Permanent Representative of the Republic of Iraq to the United Nations and lives in New York City.

Tepper School Alumni Chapter Planning Session in Philadelphia

Location: TGI Friday's - Montgomeryville Mall, North Wales, PA

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business Philadelphia Alumni Chapter

In response to alumni requests, we are holding an Alumni Chapter Planning Session on Tuesday, January 31, 2006 in the Philadelphia area. Philadelphia is one of the largest regions of Tepper (and Carnegie Mellon) alumni in the United States but does not have an organized Tepper chapter. On occasion alumni leaders in the area have graciously hosted events and we had a reception for Dean Ken Dunn in May of 2003.

We will be hosting a session from 6:00-8:00 p.m. for any alumni in the region interested in forming a Tepper chapter and organizing alumni events in the region. We will be meeting at the TGI Friday's located at 450 Montgomeryville Mall, North Wales, PA. http://northwales.myfridays.com/2756.html.

Janice French, our Alumni Events and Reunion Manager at Tepper, and I will be traveling to Philadelphia and will give an overview of what is involved in forming a chapter and organizing alumni events. At the meeting our intent would be to organize a planning committee and plan 2-3 alumni events for the comingyear. Consistent events is the key to building up the alumni community. It will take work but it we can get a solid committee involved, we can accomplish it.

Interested Tepper alumni are asked to RSVP online at: www.tepper.cmu.edu/alumni/phl. Refreshments will be provided by the Tepper School.

Alumni Luncheon with Dr. Allan Meltzer

Location: The Rivers Club

Sponsored by the Tepper School of Business Pittsburgh Alumni Chapter

Speaker: Allan H. Meltzer, PhD, University Professor of Political Economy

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.

Dr. Jacobs will present his perspective on such timely issues as:
- the latest wireless technology developments
- how wireless and broadband are exponentially accelerating the realization of Thomas Friedman’s “Flat World”, most dramatically in the Third World
- how this intensifies the pace of social change abroad and the urgency for reforms at home, such as the Jacobs family’s High Tech High charter school in San Diego.
