Kennedy Addresses Business Groups on MBA Programs
Loren S. Kennedy, CRE,
principal, Kennedy Advisors,
LLC, Raleigh, N.C., has been
addressing business groups
in the Research Triangle area
about “What’s Missing in our
M.B.A. Programs?” Speaking
recently to three area groups (the National
Association of Corporate Directors, the
Association for Corporate Growth, and the
Expense Reduction Analysts), Kennedy says
that while most M.B.A. programs across the
country cover a broad scope of finance,
accounting and tax issues, most fall short in
discussing the implications of public finance
and incentives that would favorably impact
many major corporate decisions. Kennedy
says more M.B.A. programs should address
economic development statutes that are
largely targeted at private sector companies
contemplating capital investments and hiring
spurts.

Utter Published in Denver Business Journal
Marilee A. Utter, CRE, president,
Citiventure Associates,
Denver, recently wrote an
opinion that was published
by the Denver Business
Journal. In it, Utter discussed
the makings of successful
urban/suburban centers, saying that
research shows that “…the healthiest, most
economically competitive areas are comprised
of a series of connected, viable, walkable
centers,” adding that when such centers
are linked to transit and roads, property values
rise 40–200 percent. Utter urged the
Denver business and real estate community
to focus on making the city’s job centers
mixed-use, walkable and connected to
Denver’s FasTracks (rail) initiative.
