Basic: 1. Why does Harvard spend so many resources managing its endowment? Why not simply invest in Treasury Bonds and be done? 2. Why this emphasis on real returns as opposed to nominal returns? 3.How does HMC form its capital market assumptions? Why don’t they use past statistics to project the future? What do HMC’s capital market assumptions imply about the forward looking domestic equity premium? How does it compare to the historical equity premium? 4.If cash has zero standard deviation

was a great deal of iteration between the cases studies and the literature. The objective was to identify important contextual factors that may moderate the impact of RFID. The second phase incorporated simulation modelling. This was a confirmatory study. The objective was to develop two simulation models of the cases from the previous phase‚ and as a result‚ verify the effects of particular contextual factors on process performance. Findings – As an outcome of this research‚ an initial subset of “warehouse

Simulation Paper Carlos Young SCI 362 January 3‚ 2013 Kenneth Rayford Simulation Paper In this simulation the issue that is brought up is the fact that a pharmaceutical company is making all sorts of medicines and health products. Their intention is to use the rainforests resources to make the products that is used to help people with their health from the medicines they create. This scenario has the issue of the rainforest being cut down but not kept up with when it comes to being replenished

how I utilized my skills to contribute to the teams’ common goals. The correct use of my and every other member’s skills was crucial to succeed in the Everest Simulation. In a team of five people‚ I was the Team Physician. The challenge was to align different private and group goals and maximize total outcome. Consequentially‚ the Simulation proved to be a steady trade-off between personal goals and group objectives. 1. What lessons did you learn about how to build‚ participate in‚ and lead teams
