Lehman+Brothers+Project

Yun-Cheng:

Here is the first part of your research project:


 * 1) Read about Lehman Brothers history: [] and other relevant sources, such as Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Business Week, Forbes, and Fortune. It's probably best to start with the LexisNexis database.
 * 2) Identify key executives of the firm during the time leading up to their bankruptcy (2005-2008) (as may names as you can). Create a spreadsheet with columns for their names and titles - identify names of key people from the articles you read in step 1. List the source you used to identify the person (e.g., WSJ, NYT, Forbes, etc.) in a separate column and copy and the date of the article in another separate column.
 * 3) Find out where they are working now and what their positions are. Create columns in your spreadsheet to show new companies and titles.

This is should take a couple of weeks to complete. We'll move to a phase 2 of this project when you've got a complete listing.

Let me know if you have any questions!
