Tom Petty had it right: The waiting is the hardest part. Now William &
Maryand Wake Forest B-schools are doing something about that. They have
come up with an express service for admissions that reduces the monthslong wait for acceptance notification to a matter of hours by replacing the
lengthy application essay with an hour-long face-to-face interview by
faculty and school administrators. At both schools, about 10% of all
applicants used the fast-track process, which the schools say is more
effective than traditional applications because it requires students to
demonstrate business skills such as preparedness and grace under fire.

The commercialization of Baniwa products
Since

project,

attempts
at
A large order of baskets was placed by different participants of the fair, and
200 Baniwa artisans were mobilized to produce hundreds of baskets in a
short period of time. However, problems with the shipping of the products
from the Northwest Brazilian Amazon to the State of So Paulo (SP) and
the lack of any institutional sponsorship at the fair resulted in poor sales
and revenues, disappointing the artisans after the hard work. As a result,
many of the participant artisans abandoned the project, suspicious of its
real potential and credibility (Martins & Unterstell, 2009; Unterstell &
Martins, 2004; Wright, 2009).
00000000000
Although this was an important setback, the search for commercial partners
for the Arte Baniwa project continued and resulted in the identification of
one of the major furniture and home decoration stores in Brazil, called Tok
& Stok, as a potential outlet. With the intermediation of ISA, the store
decided to buy all the Baniwa products that had not been sold at the
ExpoFlora fair in order to minimize the losses.

The evolution of the project was followed by contacts with a major Brazilian
retailer possessing the largest network of supermarkets in the country. The
partnership with this chain, the Po de Acar Group, was responsible not
only for giving great visibility to the Baniwa products, but also for
introducing the element of competitive pricing to the project, as the
company had more strict commercial policies than the other buyers and
partners of the project. This partnership with the Po de Acar Group was
only possible because there were long discussions between the company
and the project (Unterstell & Martins, 2004).
For the ISA as a NGO that defends the indigenous rights, it was important
to demonstrate the feasibility of this type of project by showing that these
initiatives can be sustainable in social, economic and ecological ways. The
Arte Baniwa is recognized as a sustainable development project, thus
materializing its belief in the interdependence between biodiversity and
socio-diversity (Unterstell & Martins, 2004).

Currency disunion
Source: www.economist.com (Adapted)
Apr 7th, 2012
The Irish left the sterling zone. The Balts escaped from the rouble. The
Czechs and Slovaks left each other. History is littered with currency unions
that broke up. Why not the euro? Had its fathers foreseen turmoil, they
might never have embarked on currency union.
The founders of the euro thought they were forging a rival to the
American dollar. Instead they recreated a version of the gold standard
abandoned by their predecessors long ago. Unable to devalue their
currencies, struggling euro countries are trying to regain competitiveness
by internal devaluation, ie, pushing down wages and prices. That hurts:
unemployment in Greece and Spain is above 20%. And resentment is
deepening among creditors. So why not release the yoke? The treaties may
declare the euro irrevocable, but treaties can be changed.

cast the most momentous vote in his parliamentary career. The lawmaker
for the centre-right opposition Party of Brazilian Social Democracy (PSDB)
was the 342nd member of the 513-seat lower house of Brazils Congress
to say yes to sending impeachment charges against the president, Dilma
Rousseff, to the Senate for trial. The necessary threshold of two-thirds of
deputies had thus been passed; Ms Rousseffs foes in the chamber burst
into song. By the time voting ended, just before midnight, they had notched
up 367 votes. The government, led by Ms Rousseffs Workers Party (PT),

Rousseff from office, Mr Temer would serve out the rest of her term, which
ends in 2018.
If he does eventually take over, he will face a daunting task. The economy
is in a tailspin. Economic output fell by 3.8% in 2015 and could shrink
by as much again this year, reckons the IMF. Some 10m Brazilians, or one
in ten workers, are jobless. Inflation has eased slightly but remains near
10%, eroding incomes. To restore confidence Mr Temer would first need
to reduce the budget deficit, which has ballooned from 2.4% of GDP to

Investors will cheer the impeachment vote. Many reckon that anyone is
better than the hapless Ms Rousseff. In November Mr Temer outlined a set
of business-friendly reform proposals at odds with the left-wing programme
of Ms Rousseffs PT. But euphoria will be short-lived if he does not quickly
present a clear reform agenda and a strong economic team. Despite his
pro-reform instincts, neither is assured.
Just because 72% of the house backed impeachment does not mean Mr
Temer will have an easy time putting together simple majorities for reforms
in Congress, let alone the three-fifths of both houses needed to amend the
constitution. He cannot even bank on the full support of his own centrist
Party of the Brazilian Democratic Movement (PMDB): seven of his party
colleagues backed Ms Rousseff during the impeachment vote, including the
partys leader in the chamber, Leonardo Picciani.

JUST as animals can smell fear in humans, financial markets pounce when
they sniff government paralysis and division. So it was with Brazil in late
September. In a fortnight the real plunged from 3.8 to the dollar to 4.2.
Only when the Central Bank stepped in, offering dollars, was a semblance
of calm restored. The immediate reason for the mayhem was the decision
last month by Standard & Poors, a rating agency, to downgrade Brazils
credit rating from investment grade to junk. That in turn was the inevitable
result of the governments fiscal adjustment coming apart at the
seams.
After Dilma Rousseff narrowly won a second term as Brazils president a
year ago, she signalled a change of economic course. Loose fiscal policy
had pushed public debt to 60% of GDP in her first term. So she brought
in Joaquim Levy, a fiscal hawk, as finance minister. He set a target of a
primary surplus (ie, before interest payments) of 1.2% for this year
(compared with a primary deficit of 0.6% in 2014) and of 2% next year.

dollars at a premium to the official rate. The government devalued the
pound to match the black-market price earlier in the year, thereby wiping
out the illicit trade. But demand for greenbacks is outpacing supply once
more, leaving the government short of cash and putting the traders back

Tom Petty had it right: The waiting is the hardest part. Now William &
Maryand Wake Forest B-schools are doing something about that. They have
come up with anexpress service for admissions that reduces the monthslong wait for acceptance notification to a matter of hours by replacing the
lengthy application essay with an hour-long face-to-face interview by
faculty and school administrators. At both schools, about 10% of all
applicants used the fast-track process, which the schools say is more
effective than traditional applications because it requires students to
demonstrate business skills such as preparedness and grace under fire.

200 Baniwa artisans were mobilized to produce hundreds of baskets in a
short period of time. However, problems with the shipping of the products

the lack of any institutional sponsorship at the fair resulted in poor sales
and revenues, disappointing the artisans after the hard work. As a result,

Although this was an important setback, the search for commercial partners
for the Arte Baniwa project continued and resulted in the identification of
one of the major furniture and home decoration stores in Brazil, called Tok
14 & Stok, as a potential outlet. With the intermediation of ISA, the store
decided to buy all the Baniwa products that had not been sold at the
ExpoFlora fair in order to minimize the losses.
In addition, Tok & Stok placed an order for more baskets, paying three
times more than the artisans were used to receiving for their work in the
local markets of the Northwest Brazilian Amazon. With these two actions,
Tok & Stok thus became a privileged partner and outlet of the Arte Baniwa
project.
The evolution of the project was followed by contacts with a major Brazilian
retailer possessing the largest network of supermarkets in the country. The
partnership with this chain, the Po de Acar Group, was responsible not
only for giving great visibility to the Baniwa products, but also for
introducing the element of competitive pricing to the project, as the
company had more strict commercial policies than the other buyers and
partners of the project. This partnership with the Po de Acar Group was
