Item Andrew “Buddy” Donohue on the Changing Landscape of the Asset Management Industry(Salem Center, 2020-04-17) Donohue, AndrewItem Human Capital Investments and Decision-Making in Entrepreneurship(2020-05) Li, Danny Ming-YuanEvery year, entrepreneurs launch millions of new ventures in the hopes of transforming their new ideas of solving business problems into legitimate and successful businesses. However, the vast majority will fail for a variety of reasons, ranging from management team failures to a lack of consumer interest. To mitigate these risks, entrepreneurs commonly turn to their business models and financials, giving due diligence to ensure they have sufficient assets and growth for moving forward. However, human capital, including the employees hired, their relevant skills and knowledge, and the skills attributed to the founding team, arguably deserves significant attention as well, particularly during early phases of the startup. Not only can employees contribute toward a growing business through their personal networks and skills, but they could also be essential for general venture growth and success. Therefore, human capital investments like initial hiring efforts and long-term sustained investments both require consideration. This paper outlines the general entrepreneurial ecosystem and human capital. This provides an overview of the benefits of human capital and begins to answer the inquiry as to why human capital is both complex yet essential. Lastly, the paper poses two questions: how do ventures choose to initially invest in human capital and effectively assess associated risks, and how can entrepreneurs increase the likelihood that the investments made are beneficial for the long-term? Detailed answers are provided for both, with both serving as useful general guidelines for entrepreneurs to follow.Item N.Y. firm backs $400M Waller Creek project(Austin American-Statesman, 2014-03-21) Novak, ShondaItem Regulation Best Interest: Culture and Ethics: How Will the Professional Practice Need to Adapt?(Salem Center, 2020-05-29) Cohn, Jonathan; Boyson, Niki; Marotta, Ryann; Hauptman, MicahItem Regulation Best Interest: How Will Reg BI Shape Industry Practices?(Salem Center, 2020-05-29) Burns, Jim; Kahl, Dan; Hammerman, Ira; Selman, Tom; Rydzewski, LeoItem Regulation Best Interest: The Long Road to Reg BI: Keynote with Andrew (Buddy) Donohue(Salem Center, 2020-05-29) Donohue, AndrewItem Regulation Best Interest: Understanding the New Rules(Salem Center, 2020-05-29) Blizzard, Diane; Gilkerson, Christopher; Morton, Jennifer; Russell, Emily; ten Siethoff, SarahItem Regulation Best Interest: Understanding the New Rules(Salem Center, 2020-05-29) Blizzard, Diane; Gilkerson, Christopher; Morton, Jennifer; Russell, Emily; ten Siethoff, SarahItem Short-Term Surplus Funds Management for the State of Texas, PRP 17(LBJ School of Public Affairs, 1977) Arnold, R.

In addition, how the university moves and establishes a presence throughout the city is unquestioned. The university’s flow of operations is constant and without conflict, which allows the university to expand and develop in a silent and invisible manner. However, in moments of conflict the university’s invisible operations are revealed. I examine the Blackland Neighborhood as a crucial case study of a vocal community that responded to UT’s expansion into East Austin and revealed the university’s silent and powerful land procurement operations. I investigate East Riverside as a case study that exemplifies the university’s role in off-campus student housing and development across Austin. The university’s historic involvement in the development of E. Riverside in relation to the current rezoning crisis is a point of contradiction that reveals the true nature of the university’s operations and missions. We must consider UT’s roles as 1) a crucial property owner, 2) a developer, and 3) an agent for student housing across Austin. Bringing attention to the university’s roles and statuses within the city allows us to view universities as more than places of education, but as institutions that have the capacity to shape a city.
