The Judges, awardees, and
organizers celebrate the success of the first-ever Business Plan
Contest. |
Feedback Just as Valuable as Cash Awards at
Business Plan Contest
In late January, CBAPP and its Institute for Entrepreneurship, Small
Business Development, and Global Logistics held its first-ever Business Plan
Competition with 26 students submitting plans for consideration. The five
winners received cash awards totaling $14,000 funded by Citibank and State Farm
Insurance. It was an impressive payout of seed money to help them start the
plans they laid out, yet they received much more than that by receiving
real-time feedback for their business ideas from the panel of four strategically
selected judges and the entire CBAPP Advisory Board.

Newsmakers
Richard
Malamud, professor of accounting and finance,
had a letter to the editor published in the Feb. 9 issue of Tax Notes.
Malamud clarified a point made by a writer in the previous issue of
Tax Notes regarding estate taxes.
Franklin Strier,
professor of accounting and finance,
had his article “Rating the Raters: Conflicts of Interest in the Credit
Rating Firms,” published in the Dec. 2008 issue of Business and Society
Review. In it, Strier examined the conflict of interest at the heart of the
sub-prime mortgage crisis in the form of bond-rating agencies that inflated
the ratings on mortgage-backed securities to help sell the bonds. In
addition, the agencies often served as consultants in designing the bonds.
Strier’s article suggested reforms to the industry that could effectively
eliminate such conflicts of interest.
