Greetings!  The Dean's Office has confirmed your registration in E/BA 296.1.

Since E/BA 296.1 meets for only two full class days, I am asking that all
students complete a series of readings prior to the first class on October
27th (as well as a second set for the second class). We have a strong panel
of speakers presenting at each class and the readings will provide important
context.  The syllabus for this course is enclosed and assigned readings are
clearly indicated.  Please note that class attendance (mandatory at both
classes) and the quality of class participation accounts for 40% of your
grade.  As the class will be full I would be most appreciative if you would
bring nameplates with you to class.

The reader for the course is now available and Day MBA students can purchase
it at Copy Central, 2560 Bancroft Way, Berkeley.
Evening MBA students can pick up a copy of the reader from the Evening MBA
Program Office.  The syllabus is also enclosed in the reader
and reading assignments are divided by class date.  Also please note that I
have asked you to subscribe, on line, to Compass Point, Board Caf?,
http://www.boardcafe.org/index.html.  Should you have any questions please
just send me an email.

Within a week of the first class, I will send to you an Introductory
Questionnaire, which I ask that you complete and return to me prior to the
first class.  The results will be shared with panelists, guest lecturers and
all class participants.

Thank you and I look forward to our meeting on October 27th!
