全球十大顶尖商学院教授
丹娜•穆尔 学校:密歇根大学罗斯商学院 趣事:就她本人所知,她教过的学生里尚无一人入狱。 在密歇根大学的丹娜•穆尔看来,为退休攒钱超越了个人理财规划的范畴。有些宏观效应值得关注。她认为,退休理财计划是经济的推动力,这一观点已经引起了两位美国总统的关注:老布什和小布什。 老布什任总统时曾邀请穆尔出任美国退休金福利保障公司(Pension Benefit Guarantee)委员会顾问。“接到这样的电话总是很有意思,”穆尔回忆起白宫首次联系她时。“我清楚地记得语音留言是:这里是白宫人员,请给我们回电。”这就是那一天她在语言留言中听到的全部。穆尔接受了委任,当了三年,后来她又再次受邀就职该委员会,这次邀请她的是小布什总统。 穆尔对退休规划的兴趣源自20世纪80年代她为克莱斯勒(Chrysler Corporation)工作时。穆尔说,在这家公司的人力资源部门工作时,她意识到退休规划是多么重要,不仅对于克莱斯勒的员工是一项财务保障,也是国家经济的重要组成部分。 “每年都有上万亿美元流入这些计划。它们都去了哪里?”后来穆尔上了法学院,希望能参与退休规划相关的政策制定。在获得学位并短暂执业后,穆尔去了商学院教书。 “我很幸运,能和MBA们一起工作。既能融合我对经济和法律事务的兴趣,又能不断学习天才学生们的观点和想法。” |
Dana Muir School: Univ. of Michigan - Ross Fun fact:None of her former students has been jailed yet -- as far as she knows. According to Michigan's Dana Muir, saving for retirement goes beyond mere financial planning for individual workers. There are macro affects that deserve consideration. Her stance on retirement savings plans as a driver of the economy has caught the attention of not one, but two U.S. Presidents: George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. The George H.W. administration sought Muir out to serve on the Pension Benefit Guarantee advisory committee. "That's always a fun phone call to get," Muir says as she remembers being contacted by the White House for the first time. "I remember the voicemail quite well: 'This is White House personnel, please call us back,'" was all she heard on the other end as she listened to her messages that day. After accepting the offer and serving for three years, Muir was again called to duty to serve on the same committee, this time by George W. Bush. Muir's interest in retirement planning goes back to the 1980s, when she worked for the Chrysler Corporation. Working in the company's human resources department, Muir says she realized how important retirement planning was, not only for the financial security of Chrysler's employees, but as a key component of the national economy. "You have trillions of dollars that go into these plans every year. Where does it all go?" Muir headed to law school with hopes of putting her stamp on policy issues related to retirement planning. After finishing her degree and a brief period practicing law, Muir headed to B-school to teach. "I am very lucky to be able to work with MBAs. It allows me to merge my interests in economy and legal issues and to gain the perspectives and thoughts of talented students." |
