The Power of Pretotyping
STVP Sparks are short-term, extracurricular “pop-up classes” on a variety of topics related to entrepreneurship and innovation. Taught by Stanford lecturers or members of the local entrepreneurial community, each Spark consists of multiple evening sessions. This makes Sparks an excellent way to expand your entrepreneurial mindset without adding course units.

Conquering Complexity With Simple Rules
Stanford Engineering Professor Kathleen Eisenhardt and her co-author offer a better way to make decisions.
What do burglars, Stanford’s football team, and Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen have in common? They all use simple rules to help them navigate complex challenges, according to a new book by Kathleen Eisenhardt, the Stanford W. Ascherman, MD Professor in the School of Engineering and a professor of management science and engineering.

Estimated social cost of climate change not accurate, Stanford scientists say
The social cost of carbon dioxide emissions may not be $37 per ton, as estimated by a recent U.S. government study, but $220 per ton.
The economic damage caused by a ton of carbon dioxide emissions – often referred to as the "social cost" of carbon – could actually be six times higher than the value that the United States now uses to guide current energy regulations, and possibly future mitigation policies, Stanford scientists say.

Stanford Professor Ron Howard shares honors for pioneering ‘decision analysis’
The Society for Decision Professionals has named a new award for Howard and a colleague at Harvard who jointly developed this engineering-based approach to making complex choices.
Decisions can be difficult whether we make them as individuals or in boardrooms. But thanks to a Stanford Engineering professor’s landmark work, for the past 50 years people and companies have had a methodology for making tough choices. In 1964 Ronald A.
