HARVARD B-SCHOOL STUDENTS URGE AOL TO INDIVIDUAL EXCELLENCE
Four female students at the Harvard Business School beat out teams from
Dartmouth and Yale in a competition to provide AOL Time Warner with the
best business strategy. The contest was sponsored by Goldman, Sachs &
Co., 
which awarded the Harvard team a $20,000 prize, "based on the quality of

the presentation and the quality of the analysis and how innovative it
was." The Dartmouth and Yale teams focused on ways the various divisions

should work with one another; the winning Harvard team said that each
individual unit of AOL Time Warner, which was formed just two years by a

merger of "old media" Time Warner and "new media" AOL, should focus "on
being first in class" rather than worry too much about cooperating with
or 
integrating with other units. (New York Times 24 Apr 2002)
