Table of Contents: Bridging the Gap by Pringle Smith p. 4 - Dividend interviewed four professors who are devising ways to bring "real world" of business into the classroom and vice-versa. One finding that should surprise nobody: ambiguity and risk go up in proportion to how much "real world" can be introduced. The problems and satisfactions of such teaching are exposed here, along with some insights on the business world. ; Read this and Weep! by Herbert F. Taggart p. 10 - What art a U-M student chances of survival if he arrives in Ann Arbor with $88.24 in his pocket and has prospects of earning about $130 during the school year? Not bad if the year is 1915. Dr. Taggart, professor emeritus of accounting, here analyzes a student's accounting book for that year. Wages and prices will amaze you! ; Women and the Ph.D. in business p. 12 - Pictures and captions about eight women who have earned our Ph.D. program or who have received a Ph.D. from the GSBA since 1972. That represents a 400% jump over all years prior to 1972, when only two women received doctorates. ; Students as Customers by H. Michael Hayes p. 18 - A candidate for the Ph.D. in marketing here looks at the process by which our Division of Management Education develops new programs, and finds it similar to the way the industry goes about developing a new product. ; AT &T Chairman Receives Business Leadership Award p. 21 - John D. deButts, chairman of American Telephone and Telegraph Company, received our 1977 Business Leadership Award at ceremonies in Hale Auditorium.
