| chicago booth mba essays: EssaySnark's Strategies for the 2014-'15 MBA Application for Chicago Booth Essay Snark, 2014-07-24 Is the Booth essay question supposed to be handled like Harvard's? Or like NYU's? Or maybe Stanford's? Or like no other school on the planet?For years, Chicago Booth has been asking applicants the same question that Harvard adopted last year - and now Chicago has gone all-in on that strategy. While the schools' questions may seem similar, your approach needs to be a quite different between them. Booth still cares about the goals, whereas HBS typically doesn't. What impact should that have on your Booth application strategy? If they didn't explicitly ask you to discuss your goals, is that something that still belongs in your Booth pitch? This SnarkStrategies Guide provides essential tips and insights into the 2014-'15 MBA application for Chicago Booth, including: * How competitive are they? * Does a reapplicant have a chance? * Is it better to do a presentation or write an essay for the last question?EssaySnark never tells you what to write in your pitch. You need to come up with the right stories - and the right presentation (or essay!) - on your own. What we will do is flesh out the guidelines that Booth has provided and repeat some wisdom about the application that we've heard them offer to candidates, as a way to help you structure your thinking. You'll get advice on what makes for a good topic for your presentation, and what maybe should be avoided, and we'll discuss a balance of content that you can aim for.Additional discussions of Chicago Booth and other top bschools can be found daily at essaysnark.com. |

Or like no other school on the planet? For years, Chicago Booth has been asking applicants the same question that Harvard has adopted this year. While the questions may seem similar, your approach needs to be a bit different between these two schools. Booth has had a career goals question but now they don't.

| chicago booth mba essays: Why Are You Here and Not Somewhere Else Harry L. Davis, 2013-11-04 Harry L. Davis joined the faculty of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business in 1963, and he has since become one of the most influential figures in business education in the United States and abroad. He helped develop the first core leadership program of any top-rated MBA institution in the country and the Management Lab. Davis also helped Booth pioneer its first international campus in Barcelona in 1983, where he served as deputy dean for a decade. On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of Davis’s arrival at the Booth School, Why Are You Here and Not Somewhere Else offers seven essays by Davis that offer new perspectives and contribute to a more well-rounded understanding of business education. Adapted from convocation addresses given by Davis at different points during his five-decade career, the essays encapsulate the spirit of business education at the Booth School, while at the same time providing encouraging, invaluable wisdom for those about to embark on business careers or take on leadership positions. Topics addressed range from the role of the university in the business world to the crucial role of intangible values in shaping one’s career. Davis has been a formative influence on more executives and leaders than perhaps any other business educator living today, and Why Are You Here and Not Somewhere Else provides a unique and valuable perspective on how leaders in business and elsewhere can shape and define their careers in new ways. |

| chicago booth mba essays: The Economics of Discrimination Gary S. Becker, 2010-08-15 This second edition of Gary S. Becker's The Economics of Discrimination has been expanded to include three further discussions of the problem and an entirely new introduction which considers the contributions made by others in recent years and some of the more important problems remaining. Mr. Becker's work confronts the economic effects of discrimination in the market place because of race, religion, sex, color, social class, personality, or other non-pecuniary considerations. He demonstrates that discrimination in the market place by any group reduces their own real incomes as well as those of the minority. The original edition of The Economics of Discrimination was warmly received by economists, sociologists, and psychologists alike for focusing the discerning eye of economic analysis upon a vital social problem—discrimination in the market place. This is an unusual book; not only is it filled with ingenious theorizing but the implications of the theory are boldly confronted with facts. . . . The intimate relation of the theory and observation has resulted in a book of great vitality on a subject whose interest and importance are obvious.—M.W. Reder, American Economic Review The author's solution to the problem of measuring the motive behind actual discrimination is something of a tour de force. . . . Sociologists in the field of race relations will wish to read this book.—Karl Schuessler, American Sociological Review |
| chicago booth mba essays: Looks Good on Paper? Leslie S. Pratch, 2014-06-17 Leslie S. Pratch is a practicing psychologist who focuses on assessing and coaching executives who occupy or are candidates for top positions in business organizations. In this book, she shares insights from more than twenty years of executive evaluations and offers an empirical method of identifying executives who will be effective within organizations—and to flag those who will ultimately fail—by evaluating hidden aspects of personality and character. Pratch compares candidates with impressive careers and tries to determine which are likely to act with consistently high integrity and exhibit sound, timely judgment when faced with unanticipated business problems. Central to effective leadership is a psychological quality called active coping, which Pratch defines and explores by referencing case studies, historical figures, and her own scholarly work. This book speaks not only to those in hiring positions and their advisors but also more widely to leaders and anyone who wishes to learn more about their own character and the abilities of those around them. Pratch offers knowledge, asks questions, and challenges common perceptions, providing a practical tool for those in business and for the general reader. |

| chicago booth mba essays: Asset Pricing John H. Cochrane, 2009-04-11 Winner of the prestigious Paul A. Samuelson Award for scholarly writing on lifelong financial security, John Cochrane's Asset Pricing now appears in a revised edition that unifies and brings the science of asset pricing up to date for advanced students and professionals. Cochrane traces the pricing of all assets back to a single idea—price equals expected discounted payoff—that captures the macro-economic risks underlying each security's value. By using a single, stochastic discount factor rather than a separate set of tricks for each asset class, Cochrane builds a unified account of modern asset pricing. He presents applications to stocks, bonds, and options. Each model—consumption based, CAPM, multifactor, term structure, and option pricing—is derived as a different specification of the discounted factor. The discount factor framework also leads to a state-space geometry for mean-variance frontiers and asset pricing models. It puts payoffs in different states of nature on the axes rather than mean and variance of return, leading to a new and conveniently linear geometrical representation of asset pricing ideas. Cochrane approaches empirical work with the Generalized Method of Moments, which studies sample average prices and discounted payoffs to determine whether price does equal expected discounted payoff. He translates between the discount factor, GMM, and state-space language and the beta, mean-variance, and regression language common in empirical work and earlier theory. The book also includes a review of recent empirical work on return predictability, value and other puzzles in the cross section, and equity premium puzzles and their resolution. Written to be a summary for academics and professionals as well as a textbook, this book condenses and advances recent scholarship in financial economics. |

| chicago booth mba essays: The Fama Portfolio Eugene F. Fama, 2017-09-07 Few scholars have been as influential in finance, both as an academic field and an industry, as Eugene Fama. Since writing his groundbreaking 1970 essay on efficient capital markets, Fama has written over 100 papers and books that have been cited hundreds of thousands of times. Yet there is no one collection where one can easily find his best work in all fields. The Fama Portfolio will be an outstanding and unprecedented resource in a field that still concentrates mainly on questions stemming from Fama s work: Is the finance industry too large or too small? Why do people continue to pay active managers so much? What accounts for the monstrous amount of trading? Do high-speed traders help or hurt? The ideas, facts, and empirical methods in Fama s work continue to guide these investigations. The Fama Portfolio will be a historic and long-lasting collection of some of the finest work ever produced in finance. |
| chicago booth mba essays: Different Youngme Moon, 2011-09-06 What if working like crazy to beat the competition did exactly the opposite, making you mediocre and more like the competition? In today’s world of overabundant consumer choices and superfluous apps, upgrades, add-ons, and features, brands have become nearly identical, as their efforts to outdo one another have pushed them into a dizzying herd of indistinct options. Youngme Moon identifies the outliers, the mavericks, the iconoclasts—the players who have thoughtfully rejected orthodoxy in favor of an approach that is more adventurous. Some are even “hostile,” almost daring you to buy what they are selling. Using her original research on companies such as IKEA and Google, Moon will inspire you to be counterintuitive and meaningfully different—to rethink your business strategy, to stop conforming and start deviating, to stop emulating and start innovating. Because to stand out you must become the exception, not the rule. |

| chicago booth mba essays: Mixed Andrew Garrod, Christina Gómez, Robert Kilkenny, 2013-11-29 Mixed presents engaging and incisive first-person experiences of what it is like to be multiracial in what is supposedly a postracial world. Bringing together twelve essays by college students who identify themselves as multiracial, this book considers what this identity means in a reality that occasionally resembles the post-racial dream of some and at other times recalls a familiar world of racial and ethnic prejudice. Exploring a wide range of concerns and anxieties, aspirations and ambitions, these young writers, who all attended Dartmouth College, come from a variety of racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Unlike individuals who define themselves as having one racial identity, these students have lived the complexity of their identity from a very young age. In Mixed, a book that will benefit educators, students, and their families, they eloquently and often passionately reveal how they experience their multiracial identity, how their parents' race or ethnicity shaped their childhoods, and how perceptions of their race have affected their relationships. |

| chicago booth mba essays: Hit Refresh Satya Nadella, 2018-09-28 Microsoft dikenal sebagai salah satu penyokong besar revolusi digital. Tanpanya, kita semua tak akan menikmati betapa cepat dan nyamannya bekerja menggunakan personal computer. Namun, seiring berjalannya waktu, dunia komputasi mengalami perubahan yang luar biasa cepat. Tanpa inovasi yang benar-benar spektakuler, perusahaan ini diramalkan tak akan mampu mempertahankan popularitasnya. Inovasi tergantikan birokrasi. Kerja tim tergantikan politik internal. Microsoft mulai tertinggal. Hit Refresh berkisah tentang transformasi terbesar yang tengah berlangsung dalam tubuh Microsoft di bawah kepemimpinan Satya Nadella, sang CEO. Selama ini, ketika mendengar kata Microsoft, orang akan langsung mengaitkannya dengan Bill Gates yang cemerlang atau Steve Ballmer yang super energik. Nadella nyaris tak masuk ke radar para selebritas teknologi. Namun dalam tahun-tahun pertamanya memimpin, Nadella melakukan banyak gebrakan baru. Salah satunya adalah menciptakan budaya perusahaan yang menggabungkan antara empati dan teknologi. Dia juga membuat pertaruhan besar dalam beberapa teknologi kunci, seperti artificial intelligence (AI atau kecerdasan buatan) dan cloud computing (komputasi awan), yang membuat Microsoft menjadi unik. Di tangan Nadella, Microsoft mengubah fokusnya dari sekadar perusahaan pencari keuntungan menjadi perusahaan humanis yang berkontribusi bagi masa depan umat manusia.
