IBM Goes Back to School
Abstract:
Jack Uldrich: 'Tis the season for college acceptance letters, and we all know that the schools a student applies to can say a lot about his or her plans. And whether or not the student is accepted is often a fair predictor of that student's long-term success.
Much the same can be said for the association that corporations often make with academic institutions -- such as the one IBM (NYSE: IBM) recently formed with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) to build a $100 million supercomputer.
