United Press International
DETROIT — The newest electric
car, a converted Dodge Omni with a
50-mile range and top speed of 60
mph, was unveiled Wednesday at
the Michigan Energy Expo.
The vehicle, built by Jet Indus
tries Inc. of Austin, features a Gen
eral Electric propulsion system and
carries a base price of $12,271.
Promoters said the attractive,
high-performance car was de
veloped under the Department of
Energy’s electric vehicle program.
round of interest rate increases in
the offing for consumers.
Chase, the nation’s third largest
bank, was the first to move to the
higher prime that now stands 4 full
percentage points above the June
level.
The prime rate applies directly
only to borrowing by the top-rated
corporate borrowers, but the trend
in the prime affects all lending rates,
including those on consumer loans
and mortgages. Usury laws may sof
ten the blow for consumers in some
states.
Ever-increasing interest rates
have made banks reluctant to lend
and each hike further tightens the
flow of credit. At the same time, con
sumers have become increasingly
anxious to borrow as a hedge against
inflation since they will repay loans
in cheaper dollars.
That was reflected in government
figures released Tuesday showing
consumer installment credit soared a
record $4.45 billion in September.
The September statistics preceeded
the Federal Reserve Board’s series
of credit-tightening moves on Oct. 6
that has led to the most recent round
of interest rate hikes.

TUCK SCHOOL
Case vs. Theory
It is generally agreed that the overall
objective of an MBA education is to
prepare students for responsible careers
as managers. However, the question of
which methods a school should use to
achieve this objective continues to
arouse discussion and debate. For some
academicians and many practitioners,
the answer is to give students a thorough
understanding of current business prac
tices and a massive exposure to practice
in making management decisions in both
real and simulated environments. For
others, particularly some academicians,
the objective is to cram students full of
skills, techniques, theories, and prin
ciples. Indeed, much of the discussion
among academicians and practitioners
has taken place in terms of these two
polar views of how a school ought to
prepare people for careers in manage
ment.

For Tuck, however, the argument of
theory vs. practice involves a false di
chotomy. The School believes that both
are important and must be a part of a
successful program. Theories, tools, and
principles are vital components of an
MBA curriculum. As change erodes exist
ing practices and builds up new and
different challenges, nothing is more
practical or relevant than sound theory.
But theory by itself is not enough. The
hallmark of the effective manager is to be
able to apply theory in ways that lead to
sound judgments and decisions.
