ACCT 354: Analysis and Valuation for Event-Driven Investing

This Bass seminar is designed to develop students' ability to interpret and use financial accounting information in credit and equity valuation contexts. The course will focus on valuing the securities of companies undergoing significant changes as a result of litigation, restructuring, regulatory changes, mergers, spin-offs or significant industry shifts. Throughout the course, students will (1) enrich their understanding of how alternative economic, legal, political and regulatory outcomes affect the value of various components of a company's capital structure and (2) develop their ability to apply financial statement analysis to assess the likelihood and valuation implications of the events of interest. nnnEvent-driven investing follows the life cycle of companies as they revamp their corporate structures in response to economic and regulatory environments. For example, in rising economic periods companies may undertake acquisitions or spin off divisions to enhance shareholder value. During adverse environments, bankruptcy and reorganizations often reshape the capital structure by offering opportunities to create value through the restructuring process. During economic transitions, debt and equity investors may make significantly different assessments of the quality of a company's earnings, its assets, and its likelihood to meet its debt obligations. To assess the probability of corporate events, investors must make judgments about the quality of a company's earnings and assets and understand how accounting policies may influence management's representations. Investors must also interpret how accounting policies function at various points in a firm's life cycle, influencing the quality of earnings for firms differently in different economic environments. nnnIn the first half of the course, we will develop the course framework, and apply it to illustrative cases. Companies featured in the cases include Tyco, AIG, PG&E and Fannie Mae. Students will interpret information from companies' public financial disclosures to assess the likelihood of different events or outcomes. The course will also feature readings on current accounting standards, articles from the popular press, publicly available financial statement information, and guest speakers with in-depth knowledge of investing strategies vis a vis the case companies. nnnThe latter half of the course will be devoted to project work, with students working in teams to develop an event-driven investing strategy. The aim is to allow students to conduct independent research on a company, industry, economic context, or financial reporting environment of particular interest. Students will develop their investment idea, articulate their sense of the possible outcomes for the components of the firm's capital structure, and explain how they have assessed the likelihood and valuation consequences of those outcomes. At the conclusion of the course, students will present their strategies to the class and a panel of expert judges.

ACCT 610: Seminar in Accounting Research

MARKET EFFICIENCY AND INFORMATIONAL ARBITRAGE: This doctoral-level course covers recent research on the role of informational arbitrage in asset pricing. The organizing theme is the informational efficiency of markets. Since the mid-1960s, the dominant academic view is that security prices are almost entirely rational or efficiently set. In recent years, this view has been challenged along several dimensions. We review this evidence and reflect on its implications for future research.nnnThe course is interdisciplinary in nature. Most of the readings in the first half derive from finance and economics (market efficiency, limits to arbitrage, and behavioral finance); most of the readings in the second half derive from the accounting literature (equity valuation, earnings management, and analyst behavior). Our overall goal is not only to review existing research, but also to stimulate new work in this area.

As Stanford students, we're bombarded with buzzwords like green, sustainability, and environmental justice, and it's easy to take these concepts for granted. Ecoliteracy is the necessary foundation for positive interaction with the earth and its resources. In order to support and respect the environment, young people need to see the value of sustaining their surroundings, and be empowered to foster a relationship between themselves and the natural world. In certain areas, there is a disconnect between ideas of environment and neighborhood and the scarcity of environmental education and experiences widens the climate gap and achievement gap, especially between privileged groups and low-income communities of color.nMaybe repeat for credit.

ANTHRO 60A: Stanford Alpine Archaeology Project 2010

Alpine Archaeology is a discipline that applies traditional archaeology in montane contexts. While survey and excavation are standard methodologies, topography and climate bear on archaeological praxes in different ways. Soil chemistry in alpine contexts' testable by pH and other parameters - usually integrates less organic material and more geological material. Material preservation in alpine contexts factors in cold temperature for up to half a year with resulting lower diffusion for reduced oxidation and inhibited deterioration of organic materials. Because of montane environment, this course incorporates elements of paleoclimatology (including glaciation) and geomorphology (including geological processes of long term orogeny and erosion). Alpine ecology is studied including natural vegetation zones from 1000-3000 meters, along with transhumance, trade patterns, deforestation, constricted seasonal agriculture and anthropogenic change as well as restricted mobility along natural corridors (pass routes from lowlands to highlands to lowlands.

This course presents the state-of-the-art in combing traditional redering API usage with advanced task- and data-parallel computation to increase the image quality of interactive graphics. Prerequisites: Students should be comfortable with OpenGL and/or Direct3D and have had an introductory computer architecture course such as CS248 or equivalent.

Course will focus on a number of case studies of special effects work in feature films, with the aim of elucidating the underlying technical challenges from the standpoint of mathematics and computer science. As a project based class, individuals may more deeply focus on the individual aspects of most interest to them be it rendering, computational geometry, computer vision, physical simulation, or character animation. Guests from industry will speak about effects work they and their colleagues have been involved in as well as discuss some current challenges in the industry. Students will be asked to submit some current challenges either alone or in an appropriate group. Since course may be taken multiple times for credit, and will be open to both undergraduate and graduate students with varied backgrounds and interests, grading will be based on individual effort relative to preparation. As such currently there are no prerequisites enforced.

The work of this course will be to give students a substantial introduction to the craft of acting and reinforce basic concepts for the experienced student. The focus of the workshop will be on process rather than result. Students will build skills in the areas of acting, movement, voice, and speech, utilizing material from the mid-20th century plays of Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, Clifford Odets, William Inge, and others. These playwrights provided texts for the actors of the famous Group Theater (James Dean, Shelley Winters, Marlon Brando, Paul Newman). To this day, members of The Actors Studio (Al Pacino, Meryl Streep, Sean Penn, Sidney Poitier) continue the tradition of The Group Theatre. The Group Theatre originally developed this approach in the 1930s, based on the innovations of the acting teacher Constantin Stanislavski. There has been a resurgence of American realism in contemporary productions that utilize actors of color who have transcended the casting barriers (Anika Noni Rose, Terrence Howard, Phylicia Rashad, James Earl Jones, and S. Epatha Merkerson, to name a few).

DLCL 70N: From Vampires to Bathroom Walls: Folklore and Literature

In the early 19th century, some Europeans started seeing the stories and songs of illiterate peasants as folklore to be collected, preserved, and perhaps transformed into new literature, art, and music. These folktales, such as legends of vampires, continue to inspire artists. The idea of folklore has expanded to include the shared practices or utterances of any group with at least one linking factor, including latrinalia (wall writings in a public bathroom). Sources include folklore from German, English, Russian, and Yiddish sources, and theoretical essays. Students collect living folklore, and analyze and present it.

EDUC 224: Social Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation

This course examines individuals and organizations that use entrepreneurial skills and approaches to develop innovative responses to social problems. Entrepreneurship has traditionally been seen as a way of creating wealth for the entrepreneur and for those who back her/his work. Social entrepreneurs employ "entrepreneurial skills," such as finding opportunities, inventing new approaches, securing and focusing resources and managing risk, in the service of creating a social value. As the intensity and complexity of social and environmental problems has grown in recent years social entrepreneurship, defined as innovative, social value creating activity that can occur within or across the nonprofit, government or business sectors, has become increasingly prominent. While virtually all enterprises, commercial and social, generate social value, fundamental to this definition is that the primary focus of social entrepreneurship is to achieve social impact above all else. We will study some of the most promising and the best-proven innovations for improving people's lives. We will also examine mature projects that are now tackling the issue of "scale", moving from local innovations to solutions that create deep systemic changes for larger numbers of economically disadvantaged individuals and communities throughout the world. This year we will focus on what are the constraints and opportunities for creating a social enterprise at scale. nn nnThe process of "scale" poses tremendous challenges. Even when organizations manage to overcome the many obstacles to growth, and achieve appreciable scale, this approach is seldom sufficient to achieve significant social impact on its own. This year our course will pay particular attention to network approaches which require the mobilization of a vast array of actors and resources, but have the potential to generate rapid and sustained social impact.

EE 21N: What is Nanotechnology?

Nanotechnology is an often used word and it means many things to different people. Scientists and Engineers have some notion of what nanotechnology is, societal perception may be entirely different. In this course, we start with the classic paper by Richard Feynman ("There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom"), which laid down the challenge to the nanotechnologists. Then we discuss two classic books that offer a glimpse of what nanotechnology is: Engines of Creation: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology by Eric Drexler, and Prey by Michael Crichton. Drexler's thesis sparked the imagination of what nano machinery might do, whereas Crichton's popular novel channeled the public's attention to this subject by portraying a disastrous scenario of a technology gone astray. We will use the scientific knowledge to analyze the assumptions and predictions of these classic works. We will draw upon the latest research advances to illustrate the possibilities and impossibilities of nanotechnology.

EESS 326: The Fate of Carbon in Soil

Soils contain large quantities of organic matter resistant to decomposition, making them a globally significant sink for carbon. Soil carbon can be stabilized for millennia due to physical protection such as burial deep in cumulic profiles, encased within aggregates, lowered decomposition due to anoxia, recalcitrance of the plant-derived or microbially produced organic compounds, and chemical bonding with soil minerals. The relative importance of these protection mechanisms depends on the environmental and physical setting, soil chemistry and mineralogy, and soil biology including rhizosphere interactions among roots, mycorrhizae, and a broad suite of soil microbes. During the last decade there has been a focus on SOM storage and turnover, which has highlighted the complex interactions among protection, recalcitrance, and mineral interactions. Results published in the last five years suggest that SOM mineral interactions account for the greatest amount of stabilization and that with the exception of black carbon, inherent organic matter recalcitrance is the least important. While these results fill a critical knowledge gap in soil functioning, it may be that changes in aggregate stability and erosion wrought by management decisions hold the greatest key to predicting changes in soil carbon storage. Students work in teams to provide topical lectures and identify central discussion points.

ETHICSOC 185M: Contemporary Moral Problems (PHIL 72)

As individuals and as members of societies we make choices that can be evaluated from a moral point of view. Sometimes such evaluations are relatively easy but often it is unclear, or subject to fierce disagreement, what morality requires of us. For example, if we are relatively affluent, how far must we assist those who are poor? Are we behaving wrongly if we buy expensive sunglasses or MP3 players when the money could instead be given to Oxfam to help fight malnutrition in the developing world? This course will provide an introduction to several of these problems focusing, in particular, on obligations to the global poor, though it will also consider different perspectives on over-population, human rights, foreign aid, and patents on life-saving medication.

FILMSTUD 411: Animation

The fantasy of an image coming to life dates back centuries, and artists have long sought to imbue their images with "liveliness," but it wasn't until the onset of the cinema that the fantasy was actualized. It is sometimes argued that animation is the ground against which cinema situates itself: the history of moving pictures begins with optical toys that greatly predate the invention of the cinema, and mainstream cinema is increasingly dominated by films that are computer animated, in whole or in part. This course seeks to delve into the implications of animation, considering its underlying fantasies (in art and literature), its particular phenomenologies, its relation to the uncanny, its status as a "pure" cinema, and its place in film theory. Different modes of production and style will be explored, including "realist" animation, abstract animation; "animistic" animation; animated drawings, objects, and puppets; CGI, and live/animation hybrids. Films will be drawn from a range of traditions over a long history.

FINANCE 330: Investment Management: Asset Allocation and Asset/Manager Selection

This course covers strategic and tactical asset allocation in investment portfolios as well as specific asset and manager selection. We consider challenges that are unique to the various asset classes that comprise broad-based portfolios, including: public equities, fixed income securities, private equity (both buyout and venture capital), hedge funds, and real assets (real estate, energy, timber, and commodities). We also consider challenges that are specific to various geographies (domestic versus developed international versus emerging markets) across the various asset classes. The portfolio optimization framework employed considers the perspective of different types of investors that vary along such dimensions as risk preference, liquidity preference/investment horizon, tax status, social objectives, and special asset-specific relationship, information or skill advantages.nnnMore specifically, our framework considers: tradeoffs between seeking diversification to control risks, and making concentrated bets where there appears to be outsized return prospects (whether due to one-off proprietary investment opportunities or the market appearing to value certain sectors improperly); tradeoffs between passive investment (at low administrative cost and complexity) and active investment designed to produce premium returns (despite the incremental cost and complexity); distinctions between investing as principals and delegating to managers, and the importance of aligning incentives among all parties; the role of "portable alpha" strategies, where expected outperformance sometimes comes bundled with other market sector exposures that are not desired and that can be neutralized with "overlay" strategies; the importance of liquidity in driving the pricing, risk and expected returns to various asset classes and the importance of identifying which parties are natural suppliers of liquidity and which the natural demanders; the importance of effective underwriting and ongoing monitoring of investment opportunities; the importance of tax considerations in the pricing and expected returns to various asset classes and the importance of identifying which parties form the natural clienteles in each asset class.nnnFor a number of the sessions, we will invite domain experts to add spice and depth to a portion of the class discussion.

FINANCE 334: Family Business

Family-controlled private and public companies are the dominant form of enterprise worldwide. Despite their prominence, teaching and research have traditionally focused on analyzing the widely-held model of the firm. The family business management and valuation course explores the unique challenges and opportunities faced by family firms. The course is taught by Leo Linbeck III, President and CEO of Aquinas Corporation, and Francisco Perez-Gonzalez, assistant professor of finance. The course balances managerial perspectives with academic tools. It is multidisciplinary: it combines relevant frameworks from management with the fundamental ideas of financial economics. The course is intended for four main audiences: (1) Students who seek to consult or provide professional services to closely held firms or their owners (wealth management solutions, management consulting, etc). (2) Students who are interested in acquiring a private firm either directly (search funds, minority investments, etc) or indirectly (private equity, etc). (3) Students whose family owns a business. (4) Students who are considering working for a family firm. The main objectives of this course are three. First, to understand the unique challenges and characteristics of family firms. Second, to provide a coherent and consistent set of tools to evaluate the most relevant decisions faced by family firms. Third, to focus on decision-making. The course uses a combination of case studies, lectures, and guest speakers to convey the central ideas of the course.

FINANCE 335: Corporate Valuation, Governance and Behavior

This course will develop a detailed knowledge of corporate valuation techniques, together with an understanding of the role such valuations play in a wide range of corporate financing decisions. First, the course will carefully consider different valuation techniques, the assumptions that underlie each of these methods, how they are applied in practice, how they are related to one another, and how to decide which method of valuation is appropriate for a given application. After developing these tools, they will then be applied to a wide range of corporate finance settings. Among the applications to be considered are mergers and acquisitions, international valuation, corporate governance, financial distress, agency conflicts, asymmetric information, and overvaluation. For all of these applications, this course will emphasize the central importance of valuation to understanding observed phenomena and to guiding optimal decision making, as well as the unique challenges to valuation posed by the particular application.

Conversely, creating state-of-the-art spreadsheets that apply incorrect theory is a waste of time. Here, we try to explicitly combine theory and application.nnnThe course will be divided into 6 modules, or topics. The first day of each module will be a lecture on an investment topic. Also provided is a team modeling project on the topic. The second day of each module will be a lab. The lab day will begin with modeling concepts (tips) designed to help you use Excel to implement the module's investment topic. After the tips are provided, the remainder of the lab day is devoted to teams working on their modeling project and allowing for Q&A. On the third day of each module will be presentations and wrap-up.

The object of this course is to study the money management industry from the perspective of the user --- an investor who wants to invest money. This course will study the main components of the money management industry: mutual funds, hedge funds, private equity funds and venture capital funds. It will also examine important users of the industry such as non profits, endowments and defined benefit pension funds. The emphasis of the course will not be on how fund managers make money, but rather on how the industry is organized, how managerial skill is assessed, how compensation is determined, and how economic rents are divided between managers and investors. The course will explore how competitive market forces interact with managerial skill and other market frictions to give rise to the observed organization of the industry.

FINANCE 595: Credit Risk

The credit crisis which began in mid-2007 brought to an end a period of around ten years of dramatic innovation and volume growth in many credit markets and in credit derivatives in particular. This period of growth also saw financial institutions of all types greatly increase their attention to credit sensitive instruments. It is too early to say when the crisis will end or how credit markets will be affected in the long run but it seems safe to say that many of the developments of the past ten or so years will still be with us.nnnThe objective of the course is to provide an introduction as well as an in-depth understanding of issues in credit risk, its modeling and analysis as well as credit related instruments such as default-prone debt and credit derivatives. The objective is to provide a balance between developing, on one hand, a sound conceptual framework and, on the other, market understanding and insight. Both are essential to the informed practitioner.nnnThe topics covered in the course will include:nn- Introduction to credit risk. Historical default experience nn- Valuing corporate bonds and other defaultable assets. Structural models of credit risk nn- Applications of structural models of credit risk to default prediction and hedging; the KMV model nn- Historical recovery experience nn- Credit default swaps. Valuing CDS using default-intensity models nn- Correlation modeling and applications nn- Basket default products: index tranches and CDOs nn- Institutional features and liquidity issues relevant to credit derivatives nn- Reflections on the subprime crisis.

GSBGEN 358: The Power of Social Technology

The goal of the class is simple: to marshal social technology in support of a clear social objective.nnnThis course is a Bass Seminar, and thus project-based - i.e. owned and driven by the students (rather than a more traditional class based on lectures and cases). The focus of this project-based seminar is to explore how social technology (e.g. the use of blogs, websites, podcasts, widgets, community groups, social network feeds) can change attitudes and behaviors in ways that cultivate social change and improve the lives of others. Students will study the strategies and tactics used by companies and causes that have successfully catalyzed active social persuasion (e.g., Facebook, Kiva, Google, Mozilla). Leaders from these organizations will also present during class sessions to offer first-hand perspectives about their experience and challenges they encountered along their varied paths to success. For the final project, you will work in small self-selected pods (i.e., teams) to develop an idea focused around improving the lives of others, broadly defined (e.g., finding a cure for a disease, raising money for a cause, improving the value of a brand for customers or employees). nnnThe teaching style of the class will integrate methods from the d.school, marketing courses, and psychology courses, but it will be unlike any other course you take at the business school. Your work will be self-directed and your deliverables will be the result of an iterative prototyping process that should lead you to a powerful outcome that literally changes someone's life.

HRMGT 280: Human Resource Management

Many managers and organizations now recognize that a critical source of competitive advantage often comes not from having the most ingenious product design, the best marketing strategy, or the most state-of-the-art production technology, but rather from having an effective system for obtaining, mobilizing, and managing the organization's human assets. A number of recent developments including demographic changes in the labor force, rapid technological change, increased global competition, tight labor markets in many sectors, experiments with new organizational arrangements, and public policy attention to work force issues are making human resource management (HRM) increasingly important for senior managers in organizations and for entrepreneurs. Indeed, some commentators contend that in today's economy with such open access to information, technology, capital, and other resources adroit human resource management may be one of the few remaining sustainable sources of competitive advantage.nnThis course has two central themes: (1) How to think systematically and strategically about aspects of managing the organization's human assets, and (2) What needs to be done to implement these policies and, if appropriate for a given organization, to achieve competitive advantage through people.

HRMGT 302: Incentives and Productivity

This course is designed to teach the student how to use economics to solve practical personnel problems that affect worker productivity. Topics include: selecting the best workers to hire, training workers, turnover, setting compensation strategically, structuring salespersons' commissions, downsizing, using promotions as an incentive mechanism, and other topics. Examples and cases will be presented to demonstrate the importance of using economic techniques to structure human resources programs. The course will appeal most to the student who expects to be a general manager or who hopes to run his or her own business. Although the human resources specialist may benefit from this course, the emphasis will be on decisions that affect personnel, but are made primarily by general managers. The class format is somewhat unusual. Most classes consist of lecture with questions, but two are class workshops. The lecture will present a theoretical development of a topic. The questions discussed during the last part of the lecture period will involve practical business application of the theory presented in lecture. This course is more technical than other human resources courses, but should be accessible to anyone who has successfully completed the economics and statistics courses in the MBA core. Every student is expected to know calculus and basic probability and statistics. Although I will not emphasize the technical aspects on the final exam, the problem sets will require some knowledge of mathematics. To ease your fears, many "poets" have taken variants of this course in the past and have done well.nnnThere will be graded team problem sets, a midterm, and a final exam.

The different goals of such journeys and the evolution of the epic hero as he struggles to reach his destination, with attention to how exile and alienation, the encounter with ancestors, the female voice, and divine guidance define the trajectories traced by the various epics in question.The diminished importance of the dead and the increased emphasis on the power of the living in various literary genres. How concepts of humanity and society are defined by the sense of rupture with the past, including a heightened importance given to innovation, the present, the living, and the everyday that contrasts with the formative power of the afterlife, tradition, and the dead.

IHUM 34A: A Life of Contemplation or Action? Debates in Western Literature and Philosophy

First in a two quarter sequence. Which is preferable: a life of thought or a life of action? Are the two necessarily in conflict, or is it possible to reconcile them? This course focuses on literary treatments of the ongoing debate over ¿the active life¿ versus ¿the contemplative life¿ as it is carried out in texts from the classical to the modern eras. While the debate itself is perennial, it takes on different forms and implications as it moves across changing literary, historical and philosophical contexts. The winter quarter will consider the debate as it is defined by classical authors, early Christian thinkers, and medieval mystical and literary texts, and is redefined in the Renaissance by humanist and posthumanist treatments of it. The spring quarter will consider the role of contemplation in an increasingly market-driven and secular world.

First in a two quarter sequence. In a world marked by rapid globalization and forward-looking technology, heritage presents a particular paradox. Increasingly, heritage sites are flashpoints in cultural and religious conflicts around the globe. Simultaneously heritage is viewed as a unifying force in nation-building and in forging international alliances. Clearly, ¿history¿ matters but how do certain histories come to matter in particular ways, and to whom? How is research on the past shaped through present-day concerns about identity, community, nation, alongside transnational flows of people, money, and goods?nn The main topics of our course are the impact of the past on the present, and the impact of the present on the past. Thus we will be looking both at how the past plays a role in contemporary society, and at contemporary archaeological research, management and conservation. Through close study of important archaeological sites, we will critically analyze landscapes, architecture, and objects as well as related literary works, religious texts, films, political essays, and scientific articles. We will examine topics as diverse as debates about the peopling of the New World to present-day religious conflicts over heritage sites. Far from being a neutral scholarly exercise, archaeology is embedded in the heated debates about heritage and present-day conflicts.

IHUM 48: The Art of Living

Whether we realize it or not, all of us are forced to make a fundamental choice: by deciding what is most valuable to us, we decide how we are going to live our life. We may opt for a life of reason and knowledge; one of faith and discipline; one of nature and freedom; one of community and altruism; or one of originality and style.We may even choose to live our lives as though they were works of art. In every case, hard work is required: our lives are not just given to us, but need to be made. To live well is, in fact, to practice an art of living.n Where, however, do such ideals come from? How do we adopt and defend them? What is required to put them into practice? What do we do when they come into conflict with one another? And what role do great works of art play in all this? ¿The Art of Living¿ will explore the various ways in which it is possible to live well and beautifully, what it takes to implement them, and what happens when they come under pressure from inside and out.

IHUM 57: Humans and Machines

How is a living, thinking human being like, or not like, a machine? This might seem like a new question for the Information Age, yet it has been a preoccupation of our civilization for centuries. From the culmination of the Scientific Revolution in the seventeenth century, philosophers, physiologists, engineers, authors, political actors and artists of every kind have taken humanity¿s measure by comparing humans with machines. Our course follows this tradition.nTogether, we ask a number of questions about what it means to think of the human mind, body, and society as types of machines. How has the machine served as a metaphor for the cosmos and culture? How do we interact with machines, and how have machines influenced literature, performance, and the arts? What separates us from our machines, and are we really as separate as we think we are?nWe explore the shifting boundary lines between the mechanical and the human by considering how humanity has created or imagined machines and our interconnections with them. What do the concepts of ¿machine,¿ ¿human,¿ ¿alive,¿ ¿intelligent¿ and ¿self-aware¿ mean in different times and places, including our own? We will consider how humans may be conceived and designed as well as manipulated as machines, and how our artificial creations may in turn reflect and reflect upon their human creators.nThe philosophical, scientific and ethical questions regarding the relationship of humans to machines are not just the preoccupations of our current moment. These questions have generated long, rich traditions of responses. We must draw upon these if we are to confront our current concerns, not as isolated actors, but as members of an ever-evolving culture.

IHUM 64: Journeys

The journey is our most fundamental narrative, and no wonder; we are all, from the day of our births, embarked on a constant passage through space and time toward an end we can only think we know. Death itself is in dispute: Is it final, or only the beginning of another journey? The mysteries of destination infuse our lives, giving rise to our most basic questions of purpose and meaning and faith, our proper relation to others and the physical world.n The works we will examine in this course were written across a span of some 2,300 years, from very different cultural and historical situations and in very different forms and genres. But each of them presents some essential aspect of that journey we all share, and of the multiplicity of passages we make within that one great journey¿moral, spiritual, and emotional passages that relentlessly challenge and transform us even as we advance toward what the poet Thomas Gray called our ¿inevitable hour.¿ The writers of these works are not in agreement as to where we are going or how we should get there, but all of them compel us, by the penetration of their vision and the power of their art, to make part of our own journey in their company.

Core clinical skills are acquired through hands-on practice, and evaluated through an extensive program of simulated medical encounters, in which students interview, examine, and manage patients in a mock clinic. The information literacy thread introduces students to informatics and knowledge management, biomedical informatics, and evidence-based medicine searching. In epdemiology students learn the taxonomy of epidemiological studies, how to critically read a journal article, and how to recognize and understand the concepts behind different clinical study designs. Topics include bias, confounding, diagnostic testing andscreening, and "how statistics can lie." Health care policy covers costs, access, measurement and improvement of quality, regulation and health care reform. The bioethics curriculum includes confidentiality, informed consent, rationing of care, and research ethics. The population health curriculum exposes students to concepts of public health, community action, and advocacy, and includes a year-long, community-based project.

LAW 222: Advanced Legal Research

The course is designed to prepare law students for research in practice and their clerkships. The course will build upon the research skills students acquired in first-year Legal Research and Writing, although no previous research experience is required and we welcome advanced degree students. The coverage will go well beyond the scope of first-year research assignments, however; we will emphasize cost-effective research, legislative analysis, administrative law research, open access resources and other topics not covered in the first-year curriculum. Objectives for the course: 1) to teach students how to evaluate sources and use them effectively, with particular emphasis on cost-effective research 2) to expand skills in primary and secondary US legal sources, in all formats 3) to develop skills for effective online research -- to also enable students to make clear choices between research formats 4) to introduce students to the array of non-legal information resources. Since learning legal research requires a hands-on approach, students are required to complete weekly homework assignments and frequent in-class exercises. Each student is also required to analyze a recent California Supreme Court opinion. Students are required to complete a final project; choices for the project include: creating a legal research study guide, writing a book review, creating an online/multimedia legal research lesson, or another project as agreed upon between student and instructors. Class attendance is vital to the learning objectives of this class and is therefore required.

LAW 229: Equal Protection and Antidiscrimination Law

This course examines the application of constitutional and statutory antidiscrimination law to race related controversies across a variety of settings.

After some exploration of the historical origins of antidiscrimination law and its alternative formulations, the course then turns to the specific contexts in which controversies arise. The settings that are examined include criminal justice, college admissions, political participation, primary/secondary education, employment, housing, hate speech, and the formation of family relationships. In each of these settings, the class devotes close attention to the role of antidiscrimination law in specific controversies. Throughout, the intellectual goals are twofold: to understand the special challenges that race poses, and to appreciate more generally some of the dilemmas of legal regulation.

LAW 239: Law and Creativity: Fiction and Nonfiction

Practicing law is very much a creative enterprise. Effective advocates and counselors provide innovative and thoughtful solutions to complex problems. But there often isn't enough attention devoted in law school either to thinking creatively or to reflecting in a creative way on the issues students confront inside and outside the classroom. This course response to this gap by building a bridge between law and the arts, with the goal of helping students hone their ability to think creatively and use disciplined imagination. Law & Creativity meets twice a week and has dual components designed to inform one another. The first session is structured as a seminar in which students gather to examine and discuss creative treatments of legal and professional issues in a variety of media (including film, fiction, and nonfiction). The second session follows the creative-writing workshop model in which students submit their own fiction and creative nonfiction pieces for group discussion. Through the workshop process, students develop the skills necessary to constructively critique and workshop one another's work, and learn a variety of techniques for improving their own creative writing.

LAW 273: Deals I

This course applies economic concepts to the practice of structuring contracts. The course extends over two quarters, meeting three hours per week the first quarter and two hours per week the second quarter. Students enrolled in the course must take both quarters. All or most of the first quarter will be spent in a traditional classroom setting, discussing economics articles and case studies of actual contracts that illustrate the concepts described in the articles. Beginning either at the end of the first quarter or the beginning of the second quarter until the end of the course (the "deals" segment of the course), we will explore the connection between economic theory and contracting practice by studying specific current deals. Students, divided into groups, will study a deal beginning in the first quarter. Then, during the deals segment of the course, each group will give a presentation of its deal to the class. The following week, a lawyer or other participant in the deal will come to class and lead a discussion of the deal. When it works, the students' and the practitioners' analyses are mutually enlightening. We study new deals each year. Deals that we have studied over the years have included movie financings, biotech alliances, venture capital financings, cross-boarder joint ventures, private equity investments, and corporate reorganizations.

LAW 276: Employee Benefits Law

Employee benefits have been much in the news lately: vanishing retirement savings, a seemingly broken health care system, outsized executive bonuses. The one thing all these items share in common is that they are employer provided and as much part of the practice of employee benefit law. This course focuses on how employers help employees save for retirement, specifically through the use of retirement plans that are qualified under the tax code. It looks briefly at the origin of retirement plans and then delves into detail on the requirements such plans must meet under both the tax code and ERISA (the Employee Retirement Income Security Act). The course is designed to be a seminar with active participation by all members of the class.

LAW 277: Economic Analysis of Law

(Same as PUBLPOL 302B). This course will provide a broad overview of the scholarly field known as "law and economics." The focus will be on how legal rules and institutions can correct market failures. We will discuss the economic function of contracts and, when contracts fail or are not feasible, the role of legal remedies to resolve disputes. We will also discuss at some length the choice between encouraging private parties to initiate legal actions to correct externalities and governmental actors, such as regulatory authorities. Extensive attention will be given to the economics of litigation, and to how private incentives to bring lawsuits differs from the social value of litigation. The economic motive to commit crimes, and the optimal governmental response to crime, will be studied in depth. Specific topics within the preceding broad themes include: the Coase Theorem; the tradeoff between the certainty and severity of punishment; the choice between ex ante and ex post sanctions; negligence versus strict liability; property rules; remedies for breach of contract; and the American rule versus the English rule for allocating litigation costs. Because this course is part of the core curriculum for the Master in Public Policy degree, intermediate-level training in microeconomics (at the undergraduate level) and some comfort in the use of calculus is required.

LAW 283: Federal Courts

This course considers the role of the federal courts in the federal system. It is both an advanced course in constitutional law and a course on the institutional design of the federal courts. In the first aspect, it considers two great themes: the allocation of power between the states and the federal government -- federalism -- and the relationship between the federal courts and the political branches of the national government -- separation of powers. In the other aspect, it focuses on the structure of the judicial system, the scope and limits of federal judicial power, essential aspects of federal court procedure, and the evolving structural response of the federal courts to changes in technology, commerce, government, and a multitude of factors that affect the business of the federal courts and the role of federal judges. Topics include the original and appellate jurisdiction of the federal courts, Supreme Court review of state court judgments, federal common law including implied rights of action, Congressional power to limit the jurisdiction of the federal courts and to create adjudicative bodies within the federal government but outside the requirements of Article III, state sovereign immunity, litigating against the government and federal habeas corpus. This course is highly recommended for students planning to practice in the federal courts or to pursue a judicial clerkship. This course complements Constitutional Litigation (Law 641), and students who plan to clerk will benefit from taking both courses.

LAW 343: Scientific Evidence and Expert Testimony: Patent Litigation

(Same as GENE 243). This seminar explores the way scientific evidence is presented in patent litigation, where the science is complicated but not itself in dispute. Half the class will be law students who already are familiar with US patent law. The other half will be doctoral candidates from the sciences and engineering who have completed their required coursework. In a patent suit, the parties' scientific experts have two different tasks: the obvious one is to explain the science to the judge and jury; the less obvious one is to help the litigators determine which legal issues to argue at all. Thus, both the lawyer and the scientist must educate the other about their specialties. For the first part of the term, the class considerss relevant patent law and expert testimony law and will examine materials from actual cases to understand better what patent litigation entails and why expert testimony is needed. Next, the law and graduate students work together to select patents for their final simulation projects. Working collaboratively in small teams and meeting regularly with the instructor, the students prepare a claim chart and identify an issue that gives each side's experts a reasonable position on either validity or infringement. Students then are assigned a client, either patent owner or accused infringer, and prepare demonstratives (powerpoint) and both direct and cross examination testimony. At the end of the term, the teams perform their simulations before panels of practicing patent lawyers.

LAW 345: Law and Culture in American Fiction

This seminar examines the way literary texts register changes in property law, the law of contracts, intellectual property and legal constructions of race, gender, and privacy, especially as they relate to the maintenance of personal identity, community stability, and linguistic meaning. The terms and stakes of these relationships inform our readings of the texts themselves, as well as our understanding of their representations of law. The writers whose work we consider include James Fenimore Cooper, Herman Melville, Henry James, Nella Larsen, Willa Cather, William Faulkner, and Sherman Alexie. Each week, a novel or story is paired with relevant legal and historical readings. We also consider the points of contact between literary narrative and narrative in law.

LAW 346: Psychology of Litigation: Practical & Ethical Implications

Using readings, case studies and discussion, this seminar examines why clients and lawyers turn to litigation as a means of resolving disputes, why litigation sometimes is a dysfunctional means for achieving clients' legitimate objectives, whether lawyers have an ethical obligation to understand the psychology of both litigation and alternative means of dispute resolution, and whether a broader range of counseling skills based upon such an understanding can make lawyers more effective advocates. While the conventional view is that litigation is a means of vindicating legal rights and achieving just resolution of conflicts, in fact the motivations of both clients and lawyers who engage in civil litigation are quite complex. A lack of insight into the actual reasons people choose to litigate may lead to needless expense and emotional distress for clients and make the practice of law more stressful and less satisfying for lawyers. This seminar studies some of the psychological processes that influence clients' decisions to litigate and lawyers' willingness to support those decisions. It also considers the implications of these processes in the context of alternative paradigms of dispute resolution, such as facilitative mediation. Finally, it explores the ways in which lawyers can use an understanding of litigation psychology and alternative dispute resolution to assist clients both ethically and effectively.

LAW 436A: Supreme Court Litigation Clinic: Clinical Practice

The Supreme Court Litigation Clinic exposes students to the joys and frustrations of litigation before the Supreme Court of the United States. The bulk of the clinic is run as a small law firm working on live cases before the Court. Students participate in drafting petitions for certiorari and oppositions, merits briefs, and amicus briefs, compiling joint appendices, and preparing advocates for oral argument, as well as commenting (the technical term is "kibbitzing") on drafts of briefs being filed by lawyers in other cases. The precise nature of the cases will depend on the Court's docket, but in recent Terms, the clinic's cases have involved federal criminal law and procedure, habeas corpus, constitutional and statutory antidiscrimination and employment law, bankruptcy law, and the First Amendment. Our aim is to involve students as fully as possible in this type of litigation. The Clinic begins with an intensive introduction to the distinctive nature of Supreme Court practice, including the key differences between merits arguments and the certiorari process, the role of amicus briefs, and the Supreme Court Rules. After that, seminar meetings are devoted primarily to collaborative work on the cases the clinic is handling. While students are primarily responsible for working in teams on one case at a time, they are also expected to acquire familiarity with the issues raised in other students' cases and will both edit each others' substantive work and assist each other and the instructors with the technical production work attendant on filing briefs with the Supreme Court. The course involves substantial amounts of legal research. The Supreme Court operates on a tight, and unyielding deadline, and students must be prepared both to complete their own work in a timely fashion and to assist one another and the instructors on other cases. The instructors do not ask students to do any kind of "grunt work" that they themselves are not also handling, but grunt work there will be: proofreading, cite-checking, dealing with the joint appendix, and the like. The nature of the work product means that while students will average thirty hours per week on their case-related work, that work will surely be distributed unevenly across the quarter. Unlike most other courts, the Supreme Court has no student practice rules. Thus, students will not be able to argue cases before the Court. But they will participate in moot courts on their cases, as both advocates and Justices. Each student will also have the opportunity to travel to Washington to see the Court in session, preferably with respect to a case on which the student has worked. Ideally students will already have experience with persuasive doctrinal writing, through a course like Federal Pretrial Litigation or through intensive supervision during their summer jobs or other clinics. Admission to the Clinic is by consent of the instructors. Students will need to submit a writing sample that reflects their facility with doctrinal legal arguments and the name of at least one reference who can comment on their legal analytic ability. In the Autumn quarter, a strong preference will be given to students in the third year of law school. In the Spring quarter, a corresponding preference will be given to students in the second year of law school.

LAW 447: Communications Law I

New developments in the Internet and other technology enable new forms of innovation, content production and political participation that have the potential to significantly transform our economy, society and democratic system. This transformation will not happen automatically. Technical, legal and economic choices will affect whether the Internet can realize its potential or not.

LAW 451: European Union Law

The U.S. and the European Union (which comprises 27 European states and 500 million people) have the largest bilateral trade relationship in the world. About 60% of the world's GDP is generated on the Transatlantic Marketplace. In recent years, this has tremendously heightened the need for a sound understanding of the legal system of the EU, especially for business and technology lawyers. Responding to this need, this course, first, examines the internationally unique legal system of the EU as such, as it is applicable to any field of substantive and procedural EU law. Thus, it looks at the legal nature and the different sources of EU law and its relationship with the national law of the EU Member States. The course covers the relevant EU law enforcement actions including state liability issues as well as the jurisdiction of both European Courts and relevant remedies in national courts. Secondly, it explores the legal framework of doing business in the EU, from the perspective of a business entity as an internationally operating actor in a European business environment. In this context, the class focuses on the most essential fields of EU business law, i.e.,(a) the four fundamental economic freedoms of the European Single Market for goods, services, capital and persons, (b) EU competition/antitrust law, as well as (c) EU e-commerce law. There is special emphasis on how EU business law can be used efficiently from private actors such as companies established outside the EU for their own advantage.

Along with a brief overview of "market fundamentals" and an introduction to the vocabulary of modern "popular finance" (as found in such publications as the Wall Street Journal), additional topics include diversification, the risk-return trade-off, portfolio performance measurement, and market efficiency. Issues of arbitrage and tax considerations are considered as time allows. Each topic is introduced with an emphasis on applications in legal settings. The course is intended to provide students with very little or no background in finance with the essential vocabulary, tools, and insights to spot "finance related issues" in various legal practice areas. The problem sets, class discussions, and applied hypotheticals should allow students to develop the skills necessary to ask the right questions when confronted with problems that involve elements of modern finance. Special Instructions: You are expected to have little or no background in finance or related areas prior to taking this course.

LAW 472: Criminal Law Externship Seminar

The practice of criminal law - whether for the prosecution or the defense - requires an attorney to confront a host of ethical and tactical questions. Should a defense attorney act against her client's wishes if she believes her client is incapable of determining what is in his best interest? Is it enough for a prosecutor to believe that he has sufficient evidence to obtain a conviction, or should he proceed only when he personally believes the defendant is guilty? Through a combination of supervised fieldwork with a prosecutor's office or public defender's office and participation in weekly seminars, students are encouraged to evaluate legal theories and ideals in the contest of their practical experience. Students are required to write weekly reflection papers as well as a longer paper at the end of the course.

The Special Circumstances Externship Program (SCEP) allows second and third year students to work for credit for one quarter in nonprofit, public interest, public policy, and government agencies outside of the Bay Area. (See Law 474 and Law 475). Standards for approval of a SCEP placement are similar to those for Directed Research proposals, but are higher. Because there is a preference for local civil and criminal SEP placements, your SCEP proposal must explain (a) how it meets the goals of the externship program; and (b) why a similar project cannot be accomplished in one of the placements offered in the Bay Area. SCEP placements outside the Bay Area must be full-time. Students wishing to undertake a SCEP placement must obtain the supervision of a faculty member who will oversee their externship and an accompanying tutorial. For a complete description of the SCEP, students should read the Externship Handbook, which is available from the Levin Center for Public Service and Public Interest Law or online at: http://www.law.stanford.edu/program/centers/pip/externship/.

LAW 479: International Law

This course examines what diplomats and scholars once referred to as the "law of nations," as it has matured and evolved to adapt to today's complex and interdependent world. It begins by considering fundamental questions about the nature of international law the sources of international law (including treaties), the subjects of international law, origins of international law in the sovereign equality of states, and the absence of mechanisms for the authoritative interpretation or enforcement of international law. It explores core international law concepts and issues such as state responsibility and the bases upon which states may exercise jurisdiction. It considers the operation of international law in the U.S. legal system. It then looks at a series of international law topics and issues, including some of particular interest today, such as mechanisms for the settlement of international disputes, the law governing coercion and the use of armed force, the development of international human rights, the law of armed conflict, and the emergence of a body of international criminal law and international criminal tribunals for its enforcement. Throughout, the class considerscurrent issues and problems arising in the international arena and the extent to which international law actually affects the behavior of states. This course provides a general grounding in public international law and a foundation for more advanced or specialized international law courses.

LAW 484: Privacy and Free Speech Online

Privacy and free speech values frequently conflict. Protecting one individual's privacy often requires preventing another's speech. The Internet has created significant opportunity for users to express themselves in chatrooms, on the web, and through new social network applications. With this increased expression has come increased disclosures of personal information that may be saved, searched, and republished. Courts are currently grappling with the privacy- speech tension in cases where individuals as opposed to media institutions are the publishers of personal information about themselves and others and where people are publishing information on public networks but intended for limited groups of readers. This seminar explores the tension between protecting privacy and free speech online, with specific emphasis on the legal rules and social norms around user initiated communications and social networking and other web 2.0 applications.

LAW 553: Reconstructing the Administrative State: Theory and Practice

Two sorts of pressures currently drive efforts to reconceive and reform the administrative state. First, a longstanding disappointment with "command and control" type centralized administration now competes with a newer sensitivity to the limitations of inadequately structured privatization and decentralization. The challenge is to avoid the stultification of bureaucracy without surrendering to the opportunism and disorder of the unregulated marketplace. Second, the central role of the national government in the traditional picture of public law has been challenged on one side by globalization and on the other by renewed vitality of sub-national governments. The challenge here is to understand how these various governmental units fit together most plausibly. The seminar will consider these issues through readings on general issues and case studies. Among the general themes addressed will be the comparative advantages and limits of (i) highly specified regulation ("command-and-control"), (ii) market simulation (e.g., emissions trading, school vouchers), and (3) regimes that combine local autonomy with centrally coordinated measurement and accountability ("new governance" or "democratic experimentalism"); reporting and disclosure policy; the role of private standard setting and monitoring in the enforcement of public law; the role of the courts in supervising the performance of public institutions; the design of sanctions; monitoring regimes and indicators. Case studies may include air pollution, food safety, financial institution regulation, nuclear power safety, protection of abused and neglected children, protection of endangered species in international waters, and national security. Students will make at least one presentation in class and will write either a single medium-length paper or a series of short ones.

LAW 606: Supreme Court Simulation Seminar

This seminar provides students with the opportunity to analyze, argue, hear oral arguments and draft opinions in cases that are currently pending before the Supreme Court of the United States. The students in the seminar are divided into two courts. One of these courts sits five times and the other sits four times. During each sitting, the court hears arguments in a case currently pending before the Supreme Court. The cases chosen will provide a mix of constitutional and statutory issues, as well as a mix between criminal and civil cases. Each student is assigned the role of a particular Justice for the entire quarter. Each student¿s task while sitting on cases is to do his or her best to understand that particular justice, based on that justice¿s prior opinions and judicial philosophy. In this sense, the seminar is intended to help promote insight into the role of judicial personality and philosophy within the decisional process. The weekly seminars proceed as follows: In preparation for each week¿s session, all students (whether they are the two students arguing that week, the nine students judging that week, or the seven students observing that week) read the lower court¿s decisions, the briefs (the party briefs and selected amicus briefs) and the major precedents implicated. During the first portion of each week¿s session (approximately one hour), two of the students (who are members of the Court that is not sitting that week) present oral arguments to the nine ¿justices¿ sitting that week. The arguments will be based on the briefs that were actually filed in the case. During the second segment of each week¿s session (approximately 45 minutes), the ¿justices¿ who are sitting that week will ¿conference¿ the case while the other non-sitting students, students who argued, instructors and guests observe. Again, each student will be in the role of a particular justice. At the end of the ¿conference¿ the opinion-writing will be assigned to one ¿justice¿ in the majority and one ¿justice¿ in the dissent. During the final portion of each session (approximately one hour), the instructors, guests and students engage in a broad discussion of what they just observed. This may include analysis of the briefing, discussion about the oral argument, reflections on the ¿conference¿ and, more generally, a discussion about the case and its significance. After each class, the student assigned to draft the majority opinion will have two weeks to circulate a draft to the ¿Court.¿ The student writing the dissent will then have two weeks to circulate his or her opinion. The other sitting ¿justices¿ can join one of these opinions, request some changes as a condition of joining, or decide to write separately. Over the course of the quarter, then, each student argues one case, sits on four or five cases, and drafts at least one opinion.

The format for each topic begins with a lecture/discussion featuring video vignettes of various techniques and a live demonstration by an expert trial lawyer. Following the discussion portion of each topic are small group sessions during which each student practices the skills involved. Constructive feedback is given after each exercise by two of our faculty of very experienced Bay Area litigators and judges. Most exercises are also videotaped for further one-on-one critique by another faculty member. The course ends with full jury trials. The central philosophy of the workshop is that skills are best acquired in an experiential manner by seeing and doing. Frequent short, well-defined exercises followed by immediate constructive feedback in a non-competitive, non-threatening atmosphere provide the core of the program.

LAW 612: Constitutional Law III: First Amendment

This is a course about the freedoms of speech and religion under the First Amendment as interpreted by the US Supreme Court. It builds upon Constitutional Law I by examining intensively these two areas of individual rights. Two-thirds of the course is about freedom of speech. The course asks why government regulates speech (to prevent harms? to protect sensibilities? to redistribute power?), how government regulates speech (by aiming at messages? by aiming at markets? by aiming at when and where speech takes place? by conditioning subsidies?), and what justifications are ever sufficient for limiting speech. It includes consideration of the institutional press and new technologies including the Internet. One-third of the course is about religion. It asks how far government may go in limiting or promoting religious conduct and organizations under the twin constraints of the Free Exercise and Establishment Clauses. The course emphasizes the practice of constitutional law in these areas, with attention to First Amendment history and theory as they inform that practice. The class discusses numerous contemporary cases and pending issues.

LAW 613: Conflict Resolution Systems Design

Lawyers are often called upon to help design systems for managing and resolving conflicts that support or supplant existing legal structures. The crisis of September 11 led Congress to pass a law creating the September 11 Fund; a California Supreme Court challenge to its method of resolving health care disputes led Kaiser Permanente to reform its arbitration system; years of atrocities committed against the people of South Africa, Guatemala and many other countries led to the formation of truth commissions. Lawyers helped to structure these and many other conflict resolution systems. We'll use a case study model to survey different kinds of conflict prevention, management and resolution systems, and examine different factors in their design.

LAW 615: Negotiation Seminar

As a lawyer, you will probably negotiate more than you do anything else. You will negotiate not just over cases, but any time that you need something that you cannot get alone. You will negotiate with your boss, your clients, your secretary, and all of their counterparts (plus the lawyers) on the other side. You will negotiate with "the system" whether it is the court, the government, the structure of society, or the law. You will also continue to negotiate with your family, your friends, and yourself. This course is designed to: (1) develop your understanding of negotiation, and your awareness of yourself as a negotiator; (2) give you some tools and concepts for analyzing and preparing for negotiations; (3) enhance your negotiating skills through frequent role plays, reflection, and feedback; and (4) teach you how to keep learning from your own negotiation experience. In addition to negotiation skills and theory, you are introduced to issues of representation, ethics, and the place of negotiation in our legal system. The Negotiation Seminar is an intense, interactive course. It requires weekly preparation of readings, simulations, and written assignments. Basically, students learn by reading about specific research and doing simulated negotiations -- figuring out with the rest of the class what works and what does not, writing about what you're learning, and trying again.

LAW 621: Sentencing, Corrections, and Criminal Justice Policy

(Same as PUBLPOL 321). This course familiarizes students with the history, structure, and performance of America's sentencing and corrections system. "Sentencing" is the process by which criminal sanctions are imposed in individual cases following criminal convictions. "Corrections" deals with the implementation and evaluation of criminal sentences after they are handed down. In fact, the two subject areas are inseparable. This course examines sentencing and corrections from global and historical views, from theoretical and policy perspectives, and with close attention to many problem-specific areas. It explores sentencing theories and their application, the nature, scope and function of corrections, the impact of mass incarceration on crime and communities, the effectiveness of rehabilitation, the relationship between sanctions and crime, and the consequences of prisoner reentry. These topics are considered as they play out in current political and policy debates. Guest lectures may include presentations by judges, prosecutors, victims, offenders, politicians, and correctional leaders. Early in the seminar, each student chooses a sentencing or corrections topic to investigate. A list of possible topics will be provided but students may choose any sentencing or correctional topic that interests them, with the professor's approval. During the quarter, students conduct research on the topic, including a critical review of the historical, empirical, and policy literature. Where possible, students contact relevant experts for information and perspective. This research serves as the basis for in-class discussion, focusing on different aspects of the topic as the quarter progresses.

LAW 622A: Environmental Law Clinic: Clinical Practice

Students enrolled in the Clinic provide legal assistance to national, regional and grassroots non-profit organizations on a variety of environmental issues, with a focus on complex natural resource conservation and biodiversity matters at the interface of law, science and policy. Working under the direct supervision of practicing environmental attorneys, Clinic students help screen new matters and potential clients; formulate strategies; research and develop factual and legal issues; and prosecute administrative and litigation proceedings. During the term, students may meet with clients, opposing counsel or agency decision makers; review administrative records; develop expert testimony; draft comment letters, petitions, pleading or briefs; and/or attend and participate in administrative and court hearings. In regular one-on-one meetings with supervising faculty, there is a heavy emphasis on polishing persuasive writing and oral advocacy skills. In addition, students participate in a weekly seminar where we examine strategic, ethical and substantive issues arising out of the Clinic's work. No prior substantive experience or background in the environmental/natural resource field is necessary, but an interest in learning about these areas of the law is important. Beginning with the 2009-2010 academic year, each of the Law School's clinical courses is being offered on a full-time basis for 12 credits.

LAW 638: Mediation

In recent years, individuals and their lawyers have increasingly turned to mediation to resolve disputes. In mediation, the parties to the dispute, who may be represented by lawyers, are in charge of the outcome. With the assistance of a mediator they may be able to reach agreements at any stage in a dispute, in some cases avoiding litigation altogether, in other cases agreeing when he case is on appeal. This course will introduce you to the theory and practice of mediation. You will learn about the mediation process primarily by experiencing it in roleplay and hands-on exercises. The course also includes readings and discussions, brief lectures, demonstrations, student presentations, and videotapes. You will mediate disputes based on actual cases, and be coached in small groups by Bay Area mediators. The course goals are to understand the nature of conflict and principles of conflict management, to develop the communication skills essential to effective mediation, to evaluate various mediation models and mediator styles, to consider the policy and ethical implications of the expanding use of mediation, and to develop the skills necessary to represent clients in mediation.

LAW 640A: Community Law Clinic: Clinical Practice

The CLC is the closest thing to a general legal services office among Stanford's clinical offerings. Based in East Palo Alto, the CLC provides students with the opportunity to provide direct legal services to low-income residents, while thinking critically about the role of lawyers and lawyering in solving the problems of America's so-called "working poor." The Clinic's practice is in three areas: (1) housing (eviction defense and Section 8 termination), (2) wage and hour and related workers' rights, and (3) criminal record expungement. These practice areas lie at the intersection where the community's unmet legal needs and students' learning needs correspond; the cases enable students to engage in a wide-range of conventional lawyering activities (interviewing, counseling, negotiation, fact investigation, legal research), while also working on the very pressing problems of Stanford's low-income neighbors. Students are responsible for their cases from intake through disposition, which can be reached through negotiation or adversarial proceeding at an administrative agency or in court. Students also have the chance to participate in outreach or policy-level projects, such as representing the clinic on a state or regional committee on a substantive issue, doing community education workshops at sites around the Peninsula, and/or legislative research and advocacy. In the clinic seminar and in regular supervision, students are encouraged to interrogate the effectiveness of the legal system at delivering "justice" for their clients and to explore creative ways that legal knowledge can be deployed to attack the social problems attendant to low wages, substandard and unstable housing, and other features of low-income life in Silicon Valley. Beginning with the 2009-2010 academic year, each of the Law School's clinical courses is being offered on a full-time basis for 12 credits. Students enrolled in a clinic are not permitted to enroll in any other classes, seminars, directed research or other credit-yielding activities during the quarter in which they are enrolled in a clinic.

LAW 641: Constitutional Litigation

This is a course in advanced and applied constitutional law. It focuses on one of the central ways in which constitutional claims are actually litigated: in damages lawsuits against public officials and local governments. The bulk of the course looks at litigation under 42 U.S.C. A § 1983, but we will also consider Bivens actions against federal officials. Our focus will be on absolute and qualified immunities; government liability for the acts of individual officials; damages; the interaction of damages actions with the habeas system; and the remedial issue nearest and dearest to many lawyers' hearts: attorney's fees awards. This course is particularly useful for students who plan to clerk in Federal courts, as much of their dockets involves §1983 litigation. This course complements Federal Jurisdiction and students who plan to clerk will benefit from taking both courses.

(Same as History 353D). Legal history may once have been primarily devoted to tracing the evolution of legal doctrines or the formulation of key judicial opinions, and as such, to be of interest primarily to legal scholars and lawyers. But now much of the best writing in legal history resembles historical writing more generally, and the study of legal ideas and practices is increasingly integrated with social, intellectual, cultural, and political history. This seminar will examine some of the best recent writings in American legal history, ranging broadly across time and space to consider the ways in which the field incorporates and reflects developments in historical writing more generally, but also considering how the use of legal materials might alter and influence our understanding of major aspects of American history as well.

Employing an interdisciplinary approach drawing on social psychology, political science, game theory, and international law, the course identifies various personal, strategic, and structural barriers that can impede the achievement of efficient solutions to conflicts. It also explores a conceptual framework for conflict management and resolution that focuses on the following questions: (1) how can the parties to conflict develop a vision of a mutually bearable shared future, develop trust in the enemy, and accept the need for both sides to come to terms with the perceptions of loss and non-fulfillment of their just demands that a negotiated settlement may produce; (2) how do we address the problem of spoilers who seek to sabotage agreements; and (3) what are the advantages and disadvantages of unilateral versus and reciprocal measures in advancing conflict resolution efforts? The seminar focuses on the themes that faculty affiliated with the Stanford Center of International Conflict and Negotiation (SCICN) have found most helpful in their research and in their practice-oriented work.

MGTECON 525: Perspectives on the Financial Crisis and the Global Recession

This class will bring together GSB professors from several disciplines to explore the causes and consequences of the global financial crisis. The current plans are outlined below. However, because of the changing nature of the topic and some pending conflicts in participants' schedules, details may vary slightly. There will be reading assigned for each class and students will make a short presentation on the last day.nnnMONDAY: Peter DeMarzo on Securitization - This session will start with a review of the timeline of key events in the financial crisis. Then we will discuss the role of securitization in the crisis, how policy makers should regulate securitization, and how the private sector can use securitization going forward.nnnTUESDAY: Chad Jones on the Macroeconomy - This session will provide a macroeconomic analysis of the global financial crisis. What caused the crisis, where does the economy currently stand, and, most speculatively, what are the prospects going forward? We will document key macroeconomic facts related to GDP growth, employment, and inflation and consider how monetary policy, fiscal policy, and financial policy affect the economy.nnnWEDNESDAY: Paul Oyer on the Labor Market - We will discuss what government policies should be put in place relating to labor markets, including unemployment benefits and compensation regulations at financial institutions (especially those receiving government assistance). We will also discuss some of the personnel challenges and opportunities that come with managing during a major recession, including layoffs, taking advantage of hiring opportunities, and adopting incentive structures to the environment.nnnTHURSDAY: David Larcker on Accounting and Corporate Governance - We will discuss how accounting rules (such as mark-to-market) are affecting financial institutions and how regulators should respond. We will also discuss governance problems at these institutions and possible approaches to addressing these problems going forward.nnnFRIDAY: Part 1: Darrell Duffie on Financial Institutions - During this financial crisis, we have seen more than once that when a large dealer bank's capital becomes thin, the bank may fail catastrophically. In this segment of the course, we will review the "failure mechanics," tracing out the steps by which a dealer bank goes from fragility to failure. This segment will include some proposals for how to design more stable capital structures for large financial institutions.nnnFRIDAY: Part 2: Students will present proposals regarding various aspects of the crisis. Details will be described on the first day of class.

MGTECON 591: Management Practices in Europe, the US and Emerging Markets

The course will review the results from a large management practices project involving Harvard, the London School of Economics, McKinsey & Company and Stanford. McKinsey & Company have developed a basic management practice evaluation tool - detailing the 18 key practices in firms - which has been used to evaluate almost 10,000 organizations in manufacturing, retail, healthcare and education across the US, Europe, Asia, Australasia and South America. These results provide a global insight into the basic management practices around monitoring, targets and talent management that firms adopt around the world, their link to performance, and the reasons for differences in these across countries. This will be supplemented with the results from more recent research with Accenture and the World Bank in India carrying out change-management interventions. nnnThe course will be take about 15 hours, and will focus on four areas:nnn1. Science of Management Practices:nnThe key practices that appear to help determine company performance. A combination of a detailed discussion of the management practice grid, class examples and self-scoring, and results from the research work on the 10,000 firms. The aim is to cover the basic management practice evaluation tool that can be used to perform an initial overview of the management practices of any organization. For example, this would be ideal for an initial evaluation of the management practices in a private equity target company or a preliminary evaluation of a potential client by a consulting firm.nn nn2. Why management practices vary across industries and countries:nnThe addresses the question on why so many firms around the world appear not to be adopting management best practices? The aim is to explain why organizations often are unable to adopt managerial best practices and what types of actions can help to address this. For example, what is the role of family, government and private equity ownership on management practices, how do labor market regulations in countries like France and Germany affect management, does the shortage of skilled employees in Brazil matter for good management, what is the potential impact of increasing trade competition on firms practices, and why are public sector organizations like schools and hospitals typically so much worse managed than private sector manufacturing and retail?nnn3. How firms are differently organized around the world:nnMore recent work has focused on why firms in some countries are very flat with decentralized decision making (US, UK, Canada and Scandinavia) while others are very hierarchical (Southern Europe, China and India). The aim is to use this to illustrate with extensive data and case studies some of the key organizational and cultural differences of firms across countries, and how this helps to explain national performance. For example, firms in developing countries tend to be much smaller in part because owners appear to decentralized decisions to (non-family) managers - why is this and should foreign firms operating in developing countries do the same?nnn4. Improving management practices in developing countries:nnThe final section will focus on recent work run with Accenture and the World Bank, and supported by the Murty family. An extensive project has been working with a large group of medium-sized (250 employee) Indian textile firms to analyze their initial management practices and improve these over time. Extremely detailed performance data has been collected on these firms before, during and after the management intervention. The class will investigate in detail why many of these firms were initially so badly managed, why they struggled to improve their management practices, and what lessons this has for smaller firms in Europe and the US who face many of the same challenges.nnnThe course will be taught by Nick Bloom (Economics Department), who previously worked as business policy adviser in the UK Treasury and as an Associate Consultant at McKinsey. nnnInterested students can look at some of the academic, business and media focused output from the research on: http://www.stanford.edu/~nbloom/, including over 20 articles in the New York Times, Economist, Wall Street Journal, Businessweek, Newsweek, Washington Post and the Financial Times. Lecture notes from the 2009 course (which this year will extend) are posted on online.

MGTECON 602: Auctions, Bargaining, and Pricing

This course intensively studies the theory of auctions and the related literature in bargaining and pricing. Key papers in the early part of the course are Myerson and Satterthwaite on bargaining, Myerson on optimal auctions, and Milgrom and Weber's classic work. We then turn to markets in which complicated preferences and constraints, limitations on the use of cash, or variations in contract details among bidders decisively impair the performance of simple market rules. Emphasis is on Matching markets such as the National Resident Matching Program, asset auctions such as the spectrum auctions. The course also discusses literature on dynamic bargaining, starting with the classic Coase conjecture and reviewing some of the recent developments.

MGTECON 611: Open Economy Macroeconomics

The goal of this course is to teach students how to use the tools of open economy macroeconomics to connect to the burgeoning literature on institutions in a way that helps them to frame interesting research questions in the area of stabilization, reform, and growth in developing countries.nnnThe growth rate of total factor productivity (TFP) plays an essential role in economic growth. In turn, two principal forces drive TFP growth: (1) changes in ideas (i.e. technological change) and (2) changes in institutions. This course will employ the tools of open economy macroeconomics to study the second of these two forces. Recent contributions in the literature focus on the impact of cross-country differences in initial institutions on long-run growth and development. Prominent examples of such institutional differences include the nature of the legal origins and property rights bequeathed to a country by its colonial masters.nnnThis is a PhD course in economics, but it is open to students from any discipline (i.e. Political Science, History, International Relations) who are willing to make the analytical investment that is necessary to understand and debate the issues in a logical, coherent, and systematic fashion.

Pricing right is fundamental to a firm's profitability in a competitive business environment. Yet firms in diverse industries implement ad-hoc rules and trial-and-error approaches to pricing that significantly reduce profits. This course will draw on strategy, marketing techniques, and principles from microeconomics to describe practical approaches that are useful for optimal pricing decision-making. The main objective is to help students develop a systematic framework to think about, analyze and develop strategies for pricing right. Some of the questions we will address in the course include: How does a firm determine the price of a new product? How does a firm assess whether the current price is appropriate? What is value pricing? How does one implement it? What is price segmentation? A combination of cases, lectures, and empirical applications will be used in the class. The course is aimed at students who will, in their careers, be involved with formulating, analyzing and/or recommending pricing polices in the context of an integrated business strategy for the firm. We will also emphasize how pricing goes hand in hand with other aspects of firm strategy. Students with an understanding of marketing and microeconomic principles will benefit most from the course.

OB 259: Sloan: High Performance Leadership

This course asks the question: What does it take to build a high-performance unit? The focus is on middle and upper-middle management in contemporary complex organizations. These are organizations that have complex tasks, exist in a rapidly changing environment, and have highly skilled subordinates. The premise of the course is that traditional methods of management may produce adequate levels of performance but prevent excellence from developing. New approaches to leadership will be presented that are more likely to lead to a truly high-performing system. Time will be spent discussing the components of effective leadership, what a manager can do to build a high-performing department, and what members can do to support the leader who wants to initiate such changes. The first two classes are required. In addition to class, students will meet for 2 1/2 hours each week in a Skill Development Group to apply the course material to their own personal development. (While there is minimal overlap in content between OB 259 and OB 374 and these two classes are highly complimentary, both require Journals and an evening group. We therefore recommend against taking both classes in the same quarter for workload reasons.)

OB 289: Sloan: Negotiations

This course is designed to improve students' skills in all phases of a negotiation: understanding prescriptive and descriptive negotiation theory as it applies to dyadic and multi-party settings, buyer-seller transactions and the resolution of disputes, to the development of negotiation strategy and the management of integrative and distributive aspects of the negotiation process. This course is based on a series of simulated negotiations in a variety of contexts, including one-on-one, multiparty, and team negotiations. When playing a role in a simulated conflict, you will be free to try out tactics that might feel uncomfortable in a real negotiation. You will get feedback from your classmates about how you come across. You will have the opportunity to reflect on your experience in a written paper. In sum, you can use this course to expand your repertoire of conflict management and negotiation skills, to hone those skills, and to become more adept in choosing strategies and tactics that are appropriate for a particular negotiation situation. This course is an intense, more compact version to the elective OB381 and is almost identical to the OB581 immersion course. Thus, students should not take either of these courses as there is considerable overlap among the three. Attendance and participation in the negotiation exercises are mandatory.

OB 362: Leadership Coaching and Mentoring

This two-quarter course is offered for 6 units and runs for the Winter and Spring Quarters. Both quarters must be completed to receive any units of credit. THERE IS BOTH A PREQUALIFICATION AND A PRE/CO-REQUISITE for this course. It is open to a maximum of 24 MBA2s who have passed an assessment of their potential to coach effectively, though they need not have been coached as first years. (The number of students may be increased to 36 if sufficient first-year coachees are identified.) The pre/co-requisite is OB 374-Interpersonal Dynamics. (If taken as a co-requisite, OB 374 must be taken in the winter quarter.)nn nnThere will be a reading list of conceptual material which will be supplemented during class with lectures and discussions. Students will have the opportunity to apply those concepts through role-playing and exercises during class time. Each MBA2 will be assigned three MBA1s. The MBA2 coaches will meet with their MBA1s five times each quarter in a series of semi-structured coaching activities. In addition, the MBA2 students will meet, in groups of 6, with a Master Coach for a two-hour clinic every other Friday during the Winter Quarter during class time. During Spring Quarter, students will meet every Monday (only) from 3:15 to 5:00 pm (alternating between class and clinics) with two additional Friday classes to be held on Friday, April 3, and Friday, April, 17 from 3:15 to 5:00 pm. nnnNote: Students MUST attend the first class (including waitlisted) or they will be dropped.

OB 363: Leadership Perspectives

What does it mean to be a principled leader? What role do values play in an organization, and how do successful leaders apply their values in their daily business lives? This course examines the concept of principled leadership and the various ways that leaders try to institutionalize particular values within the organizations they lead. Equally important, it explores the difficult challenges that leaders sometimes face when trying to apply their principles in a tough, fast-paced business environment, where others may not share the same expectations. Through assigned readings, interactive lectures with visiting executives, and weekly small group discussions, students will learn how practicing leaders implement their principles, while reflecting the realities of different cultural expectations and meeting business demands. The course will provide a forum for students to learn directly from practicing leaders and to think introspectively about their own personal values, leadership styles, and long-term aspirations.

OB 368: How to Make Ideas Stick

Having a good idea is not enough, we must also be able to convey our ideas in a way that people can understand and act on them. But often our messages don't persuade or persist. This course assumes that we can craft more effective messages by understanding the principles that make certain ideas stick in the natural social environment: Urban legends survive in the social marketplace without advertising dollars to support them or PR professionals to spin them. How could we make true or useful information survive as well as bogus rumors? We will use research in sociology, folklore, and psychology to analyze what kinds of ideas survive the selection process in the marketplace of ideas and to develop a set of strategic tools to craft ideas that are more likely to survive. Topics covered include crafting messages for complex information that don't exceed the capacity of human attention and memory, using emotional appeals that inspire people and motivate action, acquiring attention in a crowded environment, and gaining legitimacy for new ideas, approaches, and technologies.

OB 374: Interpersonal Dynamics

PRE-QUALIFICATION IS REQUIRED 10 DAYS BEFORE COURSE BEGINS. The focus of this course is to increase one's competencies in building more effective relationships. Learning is primarily through feedback from other group members. This course is very involving and, at times, can be quite emotional. However, this course is not a substitute for therapy; we deal more with inter-personal issues than with intra-personal ones. If you are in therapy, please talk this over with your therapist and get their advice before enrolling in this course. The 36 students of the class are randomly divided into three 12-person T-groups that meet the same evening of the class. It is very important to note that when you decide to take this course, you make an explicit contract to be actively involved. Attendance to the first class is required for this 1-day/week section of this class. Attendance to the first three classes is required for the 2-day/week sections of this class. Failure to attend the first class will result in an automatic drop. Students who are waitlisted must attend either a 1-day/week class (3 hrs) or the first two classes of a 2-day/week section (1hr 45min) to secure a place in the course should space open up. It is the student's responsibility to notify respective OB 374 faculty if your attendance is aimed at fulfilling your waitlist requirement. You also need to inform the faculty member for which specific section you are waitlisted. T-group meetings for all sections will meet for 3 hours the same evening as 1-day/week class and the same evening of the first day of the 2-day/week section. The class has a weekend retreat the seventh or eighth week (check your specific section) of the course. Because of the highly interactive nature of this course, it is very important that all students attend all sessions. Missing class, class-t-group, evening T-group, or portions of the weekend will negatively influence your grade and may result in a student's grade being dropped one grade level (for each absence). Arriving late on Friday to the weekend will negatively influence your grade level- missing any more of the weekend beyond that will result in a U. Students must pre-qualify before taking this course. Qualification essays are due 10 days before the first day of the class. More information about the qualification process can be found at https://faculty-gsb.stanford.edu/OB_374_Qualification.

OB 377: The Paths to Power

Power and influence processes are ubiquitous and important in organizations, so leaders need to be able both to understand power and to act on that knowledge. This course has three objectives: 1) increasing students' ability to diagnose and analyze power and politics in organizational situations; 2) increase students' skills in exercising power effectively; and 3) helping students come to terms with the inherent dilemmas and choices, and their own ambivalence, involved in developing and exercising influence. Topics covered include: the sources of power, including individual attributes and structural position; dealing with resistance and conflict; obtaining allies and supporters; maintaining power; how and why power is lost; living in the limelight--the price of having power; preparing oneself to obtain power; and the use of language and symbolism in exercising power.nnnThe class involves a reasonably large number of written, self-reflective assignments as well as a group project (doing a power diagnosis on an external subject) and an individual project (using the class material during the quarter to gain power in some group or organization or develop a plan for doing so). The emphasis is on both learning the material and incorporating it into one's own actions and plans.

OB 381: Conflict Management and Negotiation

Conflict is unavoidable in every organization. The key question is how it will be handled: will it escalate to dysfunctional levels or will it be effectively managed? Hence, a first aim of the course is to develop your ability to analyze conflicts, to look beneath the surface rhetoric of a conflict, to isolate the important underlying interests, and to determine what sort of agreement (if any) is feasible. We'll analyze which negotiation strategies are effective in different conflicts. We'll also examine psychological and structural factors that create conflict and often pose a barrier to its resolution. nnnBut understanding how to analyze a conflict is not enough. To manage conflict effectively, you need a broad repertoire of behavioral skills. Developing these is the second aim of the course.nnnTo achieve this, negotiation exercises are used in every session. When playing a role in a simulated conflict, you will be free to try out tactics that might feel uncomfortable in a real one. You will get feedback from your classmates about how you come across. You will have an opportunity to reflect on your experience in your negotiation log. In sum, you can use this course to expand your repertoire of skills, to hone your skills, and to become more adept in choosing when to apply each skill.

OB 383: Lives of Consequence: How Individuals Discover Paths to Meaningful Engagement

This course is a Bass Seminar. This course will examine the lives of individuals who contributed greatly to society, either through their contributions to business, politics, the art and entertainment worlds, or society in general. We will take a close look, for example, at individuals such as Steve Jobs, Condi Rice, George Lucas, John F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King (to name just a few examples). We will develop together a framework for thinking about the "paths to prominence" of such individuals. Students working in small groups will also select an individual or individuals they would like to study. Students will also have an opportunity to apply the framework to their own lives. The course will be very discussion oriented and quite lively, employing a variety of learning materials (including written cases, video material, and reflective exercises).

OIT 245: Modeling for Quantitative Analysis

This course satisfies the Management Foundations requirement in Modeling for Optimization and Decision Support (MODS). The course provides basic skills in quantitative modeling, using Excel as the instructional medium. Particularly, the course teaches model building, optimization, and Monte Carlo simulation. The emphasis is on model formulation and the interpretation of results.

Terms: Win | Units: 2

Instructors: ; Bjarnadottir, M. (PI); Tunca, T. (PI); Haga, C. (GP)

OIT 247: Modeling for Quantiative Analysis - Accelerated

This course satisfies the Management Foundations requirement in Modeling for Optimization and Decision support (MODS). It is aimed at students who already have background or demonstrated aptitude for quantitative analysis, and thus are comfortable with more rapid coverage of the required MODS topics: (1) modeling in a spreadsheet environment, (2) optimization modeling, and (3) Monte Carlo simulation. No prior course work on these topics is expected or required. However, in contrast to OIT 245, the topics will be covered at a faster pace and with less reliance on introductory tutorials and laboratory sessions to learn the concepts. This allows time for coverage of a few additional topics that expand students' appreciation for modeling, optimization and simulation. An example additional topic is discrete-event simulation of systems subject to congestion and delay. The emphasis is on model formulation, and analysis and interpretation of the results. The applications covered will draw from several areas including operations, finance and marketing. Examples include production and capacity planning, investment management, and portfolio optimization. OIT 247 is a two-unit course, with 9 required class sessions, one optional session, and a final exam. Students with undergraduate degrees in math, science or engineering, and students who have accumulated substantial modeling experience in their work life, particularly with simulation or optimization, should take OIT 247 in preference to OIT 245.

OIT 522: Field Trips to Grassroots Innovators in Health Care: Improving Access & Outcomes for the Underserved

Some of the most impressive innovations in health care are developed at hospitals and other non-profit organizations by dedicated health care professionals (drs, nurses, administrators) who are not afraid to roll up their sleeves and work hard to solve an important health care problem they face in their everyday patient encounters. Because of limited financial resources and because they often target underserved market segments, these innovations lack a validated business model and commercialization pathway. In this seminar we will gain hands-on experience of some of these grassroots innovations through field trips to a local public hospital (a candidate hospital is San Francisco General Hospital) and a non-profit product incubator (hopelab.org). We will then work in teams to identify and address the main barriers to commercialization for two specific innovations presented in these field trips: An electronic referral system to promote access to specialist care in underserved communities; A video game to promote healthy lifestyles in at-risk youth. We will learn and apply the brainstorming approach to come up with innovative solutions to overcome these barriers. On the last day we will meet key executives in both organizations to present our recommendations.

OIT 530: Advanced Modeling Seminar

Modern spreadsheet and simulation software now makes it possible for general managers to model complex and uncertain business situations. This seminar will consist of hands-on experience with more advanced applications for modeling business situations that include abrupt, discontinuous change. Models of such situations often are called "ill-behaved" because they defeat the traditional tools of analysis, such as those covered in the Foundations Modeling courses. For example, spreadsheet models involving discontinuous, non-linear relationships and "If()" statements are common in business, but they are rarely considered for optimization. As another example, the usual formulas for estimating throughput times in realistic models of congestion and delay often cannot be applied to systems involving unexpected service interruptions or complex routing of items. Recent advances in software and the speed of modern PC's have produced easy-to-use tools for building and analyzing such ill-behaved models.nnnUsing these new tools and working with the instructors as coaches in a laboratory setting, each day students will build and analyze optimization and simulation models of these more-realistic business situations. The tools covered include a more advanced version of the Excel Solver add-in, called Evolutionary Solver, the use of evolutionary optimization in Monte Carlo models involving Crystal Ball, and the introduction of Extend, a graphical tool for constructing and analyzing discrete event simulation models. Examples of such applications include optimizing for risk in financial statement projections, capacity expansion plans involving real options, customer service and manufacturing workflow systems, and in the public sector, the effects of courtroom scheduling and airport security policies. The first two sessions of the course will focus on a review of spreadsheet optimization and Monte Carlo simulation, and the development of evolutionary optimization and its applications in Excel, including its use in Crystal Ball models. Sessions three though five will focus on learning and using Extend to model operational situations in services and manufacturing, with an emphasis on dealing with congestion and delay in complex settings.nnnWho should take this seminar? Our intended audience consists of students who:nna. Want to develop a deeper appreciation for how discontinuous change and uncertainty affect decision-making in financial and operational settings;nnb. Want to learn how more advanced optimization and simulation software allows you to examine easily the effects of such discontinuous and uncertain events directly, rather than through complex and unwieldy mathematical approximations.nnnHow much computer background is necessary? We want the seminar to be illuminating, fun, and easy to master. The seminar is designed specifically for both non-technical ("poets") and technical ("quants") students who have completed the introductory concepts of Solver optimization and Crystal Ball Monte Carlo simulation covered in Foundations Modeling (either basic or advanced) and are comfortable building Excel spreadsheets. We will assume that students have no prior experience with evolutionary optimization or discrete event simulation software, and would like to gain that experience now in a hands-on, build-your-own-model setting. Each session will be team-taught by Professors Moore and Patell and will be a combination of demonstration and coaching to help you experiment with the software tools. nnnTo minimize hassles with software installations, computers will be provided for each student in the lab classroom. For students wanting to use their own laptop, it must run the Windows operating system and Excel 2007 with access to WebApps, the GSB's client-server version of Microsoft Office with Crystal Ball. Macintosh users can use WebApps to fulfill this requirement. All files used in the seminar, including templates to get you started, will be saved to CourseWork for convenient access. Enrolling students will receive a free student version of the Extend simulation software.

OIT 542: Price and Revenue Optimization

This is the Advanced Application option in the menu of courses that satisfy the Management Foundations requirement in Modeling for Optimization and Decision Support (MODS). Three core modeling topics are covered in rapid-review fashion - model representation in a spreadsheet environment, optimization theory, and stochastic models - but primary emphasis is on the application domain described immediately below. OIT 542 is a two-unit course, with nine class sessions plus a final exam. nnnSystems for price and revenue optimization - also called yield management, dynamic pricing, or revenue management - combine the use of information technology, statistical forecasting, and mathematical optimization to make tactical decisions about pricing and product availability. A familiar example is the passenger airline industry, where a carrier may sell seats on the same flight at many different fares, with fare availability changing as time advances and uncommitted capacity declines. Over the last 25-30 years, revenue optimization practices have transformed the transportation and hospitality industries, where fixed capacity and advance reservations by customers are important structural factors. But model-based, data-driven pricing systems are increasingly common in other industries that have different structures, such as financial services and retail clothing.nnnIn this course students learn about the model structures and modelling techniques that underlie systems for price and revenue optimization. Two topics are given roughly equal emphasis: model-based tactical pricing, including customized pricing and retail markdown management; and classical revenue management, where automated logic is used for booking control (that is, to make yes-or-no decisions in response to booking requests from customers), rather than to set prices explicitly.nnnOIT 542 is tailored to students who already have command of basic modelling techniques and wish to learn about their application in an important business context. To be specific, a prior college course on optimization modelling is assumed as background. (Typically, such courses focus on linear programming, or linear optimization, with secondary coverage of non-linear programming and discrete optimization.) Various aspects of optimization theory will be covered in quick-review format, along with the basics of spreadsheet model representation and stochastic modelling, in order to standardize terminology and establish certain conventions that facilitate grading. In exceptional cases, for students who have strong math background and high mathematical aptitude but no prior coursework on optimization, the background knowledge assumed in OIT 542 may be acquired through self-study; appropriate study materials will be suggested by the instructor upon request. The course is entirely appropriate for second-year MBA students who have completed either OIT 245 or OIT 247 as their MODS menu selections. nnnOIT 542 draws heavily on knowledge acquired and skills developed in two other GSB foundational areas: Data and Decisions (OIT 265) and Microeconomics (MGTECON 200 or 203); it is positioned in the spring quarter so that first-year students can complete those courses beforehand. Students are required to construct and analyze at least one model for every class session, to make in-class presentations on some of those models, and to hand in four of them for grading.

OIT 562: Supply Chain Management & Technology

Firms in many industries are scrambling to develop innovative ways to move products from raw materials through manufacturing to customers more quickly and efficiently. Some are responding by necessity to competition, both domestically and internationally. Others are capitalizing on the continuing stream of dramatic improvements in information technology. They redesign their supply chains to gather, process, transmit, share, and exploit vast amounts of information quickly and cheaply. Still others are applying the radically different philosophy of seeking a cooperative approach among all the players in the supply chain. Huge improvements have been enjoyed by firms able to optimize over their entire supply chains and figure out how to share the resulting gains while breaking down the traditional adversarial relationships. Some redesign their chains to bypass unneeded stages. Other innovations derive from deregulation and lower tariffs. This course examines many of the recent innovations in this area.

OIT 581: Biodesign Innovation: Needs Finding and Concept Creation

OIT581 is a two-unit version of the Biodesign Innovation course (OIT384). In this course, students learn how to develop comprehensive solutions (most commonly medical devices) to some of the most significant medical problems. In OIT581, students learn the basic principles of biodesign innovation: methods of validating medical needs; techniques for analyzing intellectual property; basics of regulatory (FDA) and reimbursement planning; early market analysis; design principles; brainstorming and early prototyping; university licensing. Course format includes expert guest lecturers and faculty-led practical demonstrations. Students apply the concepts learned by serving as "commercialization and marketing consultants" to multidisciplinary teams of students in the four-unit course (OIT 384). Consultants interact with their teams on a regular basis and provide a consulting report on market analysis and competitive dynamics. Projects from previous years included: prevention of hip fractures in the elderly; methods to accelerate healing after surgery; less invasive procedures to perform bariatric surgery; low cost healing devices for diabetic ulcers. More than 4,500 patients have been treated to date with technologies developed as part of this program and more than ten venture backed companies were started by alumns of the program.nnnStudents must apply and be accepted into the course. The application is available online at http://www.stanford.edu/group/biodesign/courseapplication.html and the application deadline is November 20, 2009. Students must indicate whether they are applying for the four unit version (OIT384) or two unit version (OIT581).

OIT 583: Biodesign Innovation Core, Spring

Two quarter sequence (continuation of OIT581 -- see OIT 581 for a general description of the Biodesign Innovation course and OT384/385 for a description of the four unit option). The second quarter focuses on how to take a conceptual solution to an important medical need forward from early concept to technology translation, development and possible commercialization. Students expand on the topics they learned in OIT581 to learn about prototyping; patent strategies; advanced planning for reimbursement and FDA approval; choosing translation and commercialization route (licensing vs. start-up); marketing, sales and distribution strategies; ethical issues including conflict of interest; fundraising approaches and cash requirements; financial modeling; essentials of writing a business or research plan; strategies for assembling a development team. Students serve as "commercialization consultants" to a multidisciplinary team in OIT385. Students interact regularly with their team and prepare a consulting report that outlines a funding strategy and validates the financial model developed by the team. (OIT581 or OIT384 are a pre-requisite). nnnNew students (i.e. students who did not take OIT581/OIT384) in the winter quarter will need to submit an application at http://www.stanford.edu/group/biodesign/courseapplication.html by February 19, 2010.

POLECON 232: Law and Economics for Corporate Strategy

This course introduces students to the core issues of law and economics and their applications to managerial strategy. Markets and the legal environment are increasingly interrelated: issues such as antitrust, intellectual property, privacy rights, product regulation, and torts affect firms' profitability both directly through legal action and indirectly by determining the "rules of the game." Nor are companies simply reactive to legal and political forces; actions taken by managers in firms often propel issues before the public eye. For instance, electronic collection and collation of personal data has stimulated new concerns about privacy, while court decisions, new legislation, and public opinion have all played roles in determining what is acceptable. Such legal and political forces invariably necessitate changes in corporate strategy, and the effectiveness of corporate strategy often rests on managers' ability to anticipate, rather than simply react to, developments in the nonmarket environment. nnnCases and readings consider specific legal principles and how executives can anticipate, and take effective action with regards to, the threats and opportunities they present. The course will focus on legal doctrine within the United States, but will also consider the legal ramifications of corporate actions with regards to other nations and international law. The course also considers other important nonmarket issues, such as responding to pressure from independent interest groups and understanding how firms may influence the legislative process, though in less depth than Nonmarket Strategy.nnnStudents are expected to come to class with a thorough understanding of the both the legal issues involved and the economic considerations of the case under discussion. By the end of the course, students will have acquired a thorough understanding of the legal principles covered, as well as a strategic acuity regarding the appropriate market and nonmarket responses. Grades will be based on student's demonstration of this understanding through class participation and a final exam.

On the one hand literature is used as the basis for examining the character of business people, while on the other hand literature provides illumination of the cultural contexts of values and beliefs within which commercial activities take place in a global economy. The course is organized around the interplay of religious traditions and national identities. Classes are taught in a Socratic, discussion-based style, creating as much of a seminar atmosphere as possible. A two-text method is used, encouraging students to examine their own personal stories with as much care as the stories presented in the literature. This four unit course will be graded on the basis of class participation and a final paper. There will be no exam.

POLECON 530: Nonmarket Strategy - Advanced

This is an advanced applications class on nonmarket strategy. The topics covered in this class are similar to those covered in the entry-level foundations class (POLECON 230): media relations, strategic interactions with activists, political coalition formation, strategic lobbying, regulation, antitrust policy, intellectual property, and the politics of international trade. nnnCompared to the entry-level class, POLECON 530 places less emphasis on introducing basic facts and frameworks for understanding the nonmarket environment. It places more emphasis on introducing students to foundational research in political economy. This research is then applied to specific strategic situations that companies face when dealing with activists, governments, and regulation. The class is taught using a combination of lectures, cases, and projects.nnnPOLECON 530 is most appropriate for students who have worked in the media, NGOs (in a political capacity), governments, or government relations, as well as those who have studied political science, law, or public policy.

POLECON 547: Intellectual Property and Its Effect on Business

This course explores the impact intellectual property rights have on business decisions. We begin with a general background of intellectual property law including copyright, trademark, patent and trade secret. We will also cover quasi property rights such as database and privacy. Each of these distinct rights will be examined through a case methodology affording students an opportunity to gauge the relative strengths and weaknesses of a particular form of protection. As the value of intellectual property rises, the avenues of economic return increase. We will analyze various methods of maximizing such economic returns. Focus for this course is on the impact both technological innovation and intellectual property law have on business strategies. This is not a class designed to teach students the law of intellectual property. Rather, this course educates business decision makers on the impact intellectual property can have on the bottom line. This course employs a mixed lecture/case discussion format. We will have several sessions with lectures by visiting industry experts.

POLECON 571: The Future of Growth: Developed and Developing World

The course deals with the recent (post war) sustained high growth in the developing world and its likely evolution and impact in the future. How are these kinds of growth rates possible? What accounts for the absence of growth in a part of the developing world? What are the key political ingredients? Attention will be given to the evolving global landscape surrounding this growth. What is the impact of this widening pattern of growth and are there natural brakes that may slow the process down or make it difficult for the non-G20 developing countries and their 1/3 of the world's population to start or sustain the high growth process. The class will attempt to identify and assess the impact of important global trends and challenges. Included in the latter will be governance issues. We will spend a little time on the impact of the 2008-2009 crisis, the transmission channels and lessons learned from the vantage point of developing countries.

STRAMGT 373: Strategic Thinking in Action -- in Business and Beyond

The seminar's aim is to improve participants' ability to develop strategically informed action plans that are imaginative, inspiring and workable in highly dynamic environments. The seminar's pedagogical methodology involves informed debate and constructive confrontation to evaluate and hone well-researched views by the participants and instructors, as well as the writing and presentation of position papers by small groups of seminar participants on the seminar's focal themes. In the course of the seminar discussions, we aim to deepen our understanding of strategic dynamics and transformational change at the societal, inter-industry, industry, organization, and intra-organizational levels of analysis.nnnIn fall 2009, the seminar will be focused on one major theme and two focal areas. The overarching seminar theme is: "Increasing Energy Resilience - A Comparative Analysis of US and PRC Strategy-Making."nnnWe will examine two focal areas for studying the differences between the US and PRC strategic approaches:nnI. Move toward adopting the electric car: What are the dynamics that are shaping the differences between the US and PRC in the rate of adopting the electric car? Who will be there first? How and Why? nnII. Move toward clean coal: What are the dynamics that are shaping the differences between the US and PRC in the rate of adopting clean coal technology? Who will be there first? How and Why? nnnWe will use five theoretical considerations to carry out the comparative analyses:nn1. Induced strategic actions. This consideration focuses on the comparative analysis of the role of the US Government and the PRC Government in driving their respective transportation industries toward the use of electricity as the dominant energy source. nn2. Autonomous strategic actions. An alternative consideration is that the US or the PRC Government will not be the main driver, but that they can advance the transformation - to the electric car and to clean coal - by making bets on novel strategic initiatives that are emerging in their respective societies that challenge the existing state of affairs. We also want to examine promising local deployment experiments in progress by incumbent players that could accelerate the validation of the viability of the electric car and clean coal. These experiments might involve collaboration between private initiative takers and startups and supporting governments. nn3. The role of markets. A third consideration is that the transformation of the US and PRC transportation industries and of clean coal development will be achieved through market actions. The market forcers will come from players presently participating in these industries as well as from players who do not at presently participate, but who may have the competence and motivation to pursue these new profitable growth opportunities.nn4. Nonmarket forces. A fourth consideration concerns the extent to which non-market players - advocacy groups of various sorts - can play a key role in giving impetus to the electric car and clean coal initiatives, or block whatever movement is gaining momentum. nn5. Self-similarity across scale. A fifth consideration concerns patterns of self-similarity across scale, which raise the question of how we can effectively learn from corporate-level strategic change and transfer this learning to the level of governments. nnnSeminar participants will organize themselves into four project teams: (1) Electric car in the US, (2) Electric car in the PRC, (3) Clean coal in the US, and (4) Clean coal in the PRC. Each project team will use the five theoretical considerations to examine the dynamics that are shaping the rate of adoption of their focal area (electric car or clean coal) in their geography (US or PRC), and reach conclusions about when and how success of their focal area in their geography will be achieved. They will be expected to produce a monograph (10-15 pages) presenting and discussing the group's findings.

STRAMGT 508: Entrepreneurship from the Perspective of Women

There are now over a dozen courses taught on entrepreneurship at the GSB. These courses cover a wide range of topics of interest to the budding entrepreneur and venture capitalists. But what unique challenges do women face when approaching entrepreneurship? This seminar will showcase successful women entrepreneurs and the challenges they encountered in funding, communication styles, lifestyle balance, and paths to success. We will do so with mini-cases, panel discussions, readings, and some social time with experienced entrepreneurs. Men are also welcomed to enroll. nnnThis seminar has been developed in partnership with the Forum for Women Entrepreneurs.

STRAMGT 513: New Venture Workshop

The idea behind this workshop is to provide students with a forum for examining how to assess ideas for new ventures and the implications of various models for new venture formation. Each student must come to the workshop with an idea for a new venture. The idea should be at a relatively early stage - we are not looking for completed business plans (although new venture ideas that are a little further along are not precluded). Still, you will have had to have given a fair amount of thought to the idea and will need to prepare a presentation. So some work will be required over the summer. As the workshop is limited to 15 students and there are 15 hours allocated to it, the group will focus on each idea for about an hour. Students will get feedback on their own ideas and by participating actively in the discussion of their peers' ideas, will get some experience in evaluating new venture opportunities. The instructor will invite "friends of the GSB" from the local venture capital and entrepreneurship communities to participate. (Their participation will be entirely ad hoc and depend on individuals' schedules and willingness to participate. Some days there may be a couple of outside volunteers, other days none - so don't count on someone being there when you present!). It is fine for students who are already contemplating an idea in a team to sign up - but each student is responsible for carrying a one hour session on a unique idea.nnn(On the T: drive there is a folder called "Saloner New Venture Workshop" that contains a document the instructor circulated to students in advance of the workshop that has more details and will give you a picture of what last year's workshop looked like.)

STRAMGT 524: Strategy Implementation

This seminar focuses on the challenges of strategy implementation that middle-managers confront on a daily basis. To best understand these issues, we will visit five local companies (one per day) and meet with middle-managers. Key questions include: What is the role, if any, of middle-managers in helping to formulate strategy? How is the strategy communicated to employees? In what circumstances do middle-managers explicitly invoke the strategy, if at all? What role do middle-managers play in strategic change? Do you distinguish financial and strategic health in your business? If so, do you quantify strategic health? How important is culture to the company's success and how do you reinforce this? What challenges have you faced in managing growth and organizational change at your company? What are the challenges to managing innovation in your company? The seminar will be particularly useful to students interested in strategy consulting or line management positions where you will participate in the strategy process, or any kind of implementation role. Each day we will spend time in class before each company visit to discuss a reading, the company background, and share reactions to the previous day's visit. Targeted companies include high profile larger firms such as Facebook and Google, as well as smaller companies and startups.
