From the Editor
During the course of a year hundreds
of letters from alumni come
across my desk so that I may pluck
out the sad news of personal
tragedy or death and the happy
news of transfers, promotions or
new babies. It's one of the nicest
parts of my job.
One day last December a letter
from a recent graduate, addressed
to the alumni director, took that
routine journey to my desk, but remained
longer than usual. I read
it-and reread it-several times. I
think it says something special. I
reprint it here for you.
Sonia V. Thurmond
As a recent graduate of AGSIM,
and as the new director of Latin
America at LeRoifDresser, I was
especially touched by the tragic
death of one of our most distinguished
alumni, Clifford Bevens.
I received the Thunderbird which
told of this untimely tragedy just
days before receiving the assignment
to make a sales visit to Guatemala.
I had actually pushed hard to
convince management that a trip to
Guatemala was justified. Being
well-versed on Latin American
affairs, I realized that a trip to this
country brought with it special considerations
due to political and social
upheaval. But being new to the
company I felt the need to prove
my worth and leave my training
days behind me. I write to you to
somehow capture on paper my
conceived obligations for making

this trip. I became moved at the
thought of reviving what had been
abruptly silenced; and to demonstrate
that T-Birds could go on and
conduct international business
under any circumstances.
Carrying these thoughts with me,
I walked through the streets of
Guatemala City, conducting business
as usual-the way I know that
Clifford Bevens would like to see it
done ....
Having returned from a successful
trip, I felt that something had to
be rekindled, or recovered, and I
will carry with me the determination
that could only be gained by
going forth, as any T-Bird would,
to succeed as Clifford Bevens had
throughout his career.

AGSIM's INTERAD:
Source of Talent for Advertising
According to the yellowin~ pii~es
of a 1958 catalog, tucked away in
the school archives, AD-200
(Advertising Theory & Practice)
was offered for the first time as an
elective in the department of
foreign trade at what was then
considered a struggling upstart of
an educational institution, The
American Institute for Foreign
Trade. Twenty-four years later,
by Sonia V. Thurmond
WB-557 ("INTERAD," Advanced
International Marketing and
Advertising Workshop) is still an
elective at American Graduate
School of International Management,
now an internationallyknown
graduate school.
INTERAD, like AGSIM, has
evolved through the years into a
more sophisticated entity, but still
retains some of the "unusual."
Since 1976 the INTERAD program
has been under the direction of
Professor Paul Schlesinger, who
joined the school after retiring as
chairman of the board of TathamLaird
& Kudner Advertising in
Interviewed recently as to the
workings of INTERAD '82,
Schlesinger talked easily about
advertising and marketing courses
at AGSIM. He communicates his
devotion to his craft, not with
theatrics or the hard sell, but rather
with a sincere and calm approach.
His pride in the students, their
achievements and INTERAD is
Since taking over INTERAD,
Schlesinger has made some
changes in the structure of the
program as well as the logistics of
the actual presentations. He says
there are more applicants for the
class than the 28 openings available
each fall and spring semester.
Students are chosen through
interviews (which Schlesinger
conducts himself) and selection is
based on the applicant's academic
record, suitability for the course,
interest and desire. The selected
students split into four teams or
"agencies," choosing their own
positions within the team: account
executive, and heads of the areas of

market research, creativity, media,
merchandising and sales
The team "agency" then obtains
a project from a multinational
company to develop a complete
marketing and advertising plan for
the introduction of a product into a
new foreign market. The companies
solicited by the students provide
the information, material and
financial assistance for the entire
Schlesinger points out that this
corporate support is an important
change in the INTERAD program.
Previously, the team members had
relied on their individual personal
resources to finance the team
presentations. The cost was
becoming prohibitive and the lack
of equal funds made fair competition
among the teams difficult.
The students begin work on all
aspects of the project and meet
regularly with Schlesinger and the
plans board, comprised of four or
five students who have done well
in previous INTERAD classes.
Throughout the semester the teams
build their plans and presentations
to be delivered before the panel of
top advertising and marketing
executives who serve as judges on
INTERAD DAY, near the end of
the semester.
The competition is fierce, according
to Schlesinger, and a glance at
the judges' evaluation sheets
dispels any idea that INTERAD is
merely a show. In addition to the
students' performances being
evaluated individually, all aspects
of the presentation are rated from
excellent to weak. Ratings on good
business sense, investment
advisability for the company and
overall objectives and strategies are
considered. Schlesinger points out
that in this type of competitive
situation, each team is essentially
an "ad agency account group" and
the panel of judges is the "client
company." When the client asks a
question, the account group had
better have the right answer. "It's a
real world experience and like the
real world, there is only one winner
- no second place," explained
Schlesinger. That winning team is
presented the Phoenix Newspapers,
Inc. Award at graduation
When asked if the structure of
the INTERAD program at AGSIM
was unique to the educational
world, Schlesinger responded that
he knew of no other upper level
course structured exactly in the
same manner. Many schools use
the project approach to advertising
but the presentations and judging
panel composed of marketing and
advertiSing executives as done at
AGSIM are missing in those
Schlesinger feels that the judges'
The history of INTERAD (or
advertising presentations as they
were called prior to 1976) goes back
to 1958 when the AD-200 course
was taught by Richard Turner. Two
hours of credit were given for the
elective course and while presentations
were performed, they were
given during a regular class
Most of the credit for the present
day format of INTERAD goes to
Edwin Coleman, former executive
participation is one of the most
important aspects of the program.
Top executives are invited to
campus twice each year (at their
own expense) to view the presentations,
serve as judges and interview
students for employment. (This
aspect of the presentations was
conceived and organized by Ed
Coleman, who taught advertising
from 1962 to 1966. See box item on
page 3). Schlesinger explained that
agreement to recruit students is a
vice president of Upjohn International.
Familiar with the School
from recruiting trips to campus,
Coleman offered his services to the
School soon after his retirement
from Upjohn. He began teaching
here in 1962. He conceived the idea
of inviting marketing and
advertising executives to the
campus to serve as judges for the
presentations, so they could view
the exemplary work done by the
students. The plan was a huge
success, bringing executives from
throughout the country to campus
twice each year - and - students
were getting jobs from the exposure.
Coleman's untimely death in
1966 cut short a productive career
and left the advertising classes
without an instructor.
Fresh from the advertising
business in New York, where he
had been a partner and owner of
Ehrlich, Neuwirth & Sobo advertising,
Norton Sobo took over the
advertising classes in the fall of
1966. Described by Schlesinger as
the "stem-winder" in the chronology
of advertising at AGSIM, Sobo
was inspired by a need to "return
something" to the advertising
profession that he held so dear. He
directed the program with a
passion, expanding on Coleman's
concept, until his sudden death in
the summer of 1972.
After Sobo's death, a part-time
instructor handled the program for
a semester until it was taken over
by Dan Kaufherr. Imprinting his
own style on the presentations,
they continued to grow and expand
under Kaufherr's direction until his
retirement from teaching in 1976.

Advertising in Chicago, heard from
a friend in the American
Association of Advertising Agencies
about the teaching position at
AGSIM. This was at a time in his
life when he was not 100 percent
happy with what he was doing and
having made the decision "to
change his life," he visited the
campus to look over the territory.
Not impressed with the campus
itself, he nevertheless stayed a
couple of days and found he really
liked the students. He determined
he wanted the job, conducted his
own campaign to secure it and he's
been hard at it ever since.
Schlesinger began his advertising
career in 1947 as a sales-service
manager for Columbia Broadcasting
Company and later went with
Tatham-Laird & Kudner as a
media-research and account
supervisor. He moved in 1962 to
Needham Harper and Steers and
became senior account director and
senior vice president. In 1966 he
returned to Tatham-Laird & Kudner
until he joined AGSIM. Like his
predecessors, Schlesinger doesn't
rely solely on textbook material, but
shares with the students his wealth
of experience from his many years
in the advertising world. In addition
to his teaching responsibilities,
which he finds far less hectic than
the advertising business,

Barter Growing In World Trade
by Al Ilch
AMA Staff
Editor's note: American Graduate
School of International Management is
affiliated with the American Management
Associations. Al Ilch, of the
AMA Public Relations Office, is a regular
contributor to "Thunderbird."
Barter, the oldest form of commerce-
that many of us would
assume exists in only the most
primitive of cultures-is currently
undergoing a resurgence. Manyexperts
predict that it will constitute
at least 20 percent of all international
trade in the 1980's.
The rise in barter-like agreements,
commonly referred to as
countertrades, is not just limited to
exchanges between developing nations.
Many U.S. companies, such
as General Motors and PepsiCo,
have become involved. The size
and complexity of these deals have
grown to such an extent that a
number of firms have established
countertrade subsidiaries to handle
the transactions.
The concept of countertrade
appeared earlier in the 20th century
when some European nations resorted
to it in order to build up
their economies following World
War I. The New York Times reported
last October that economists attribute
countertrade's return to prominence
" . . . to rising oil prices,
which have lifted the debt of
nonoil-producing third world countries
to $400 billion and thrown balance
of payments far out of
There are many countertrade
variations currently being used.
One is a straight swap and doesn't
involve the exchange of currency.
Usually just two parties are involved
and each must have something
the other wants. A second
form is switch trading, which includes
a third party or switch trad-
er and is based upon the use of
credits, which can't be directly converted
into cash but do represent
purchasing power of products
manufactured in the country of one
of the participating parties. The
credits are then sold at a discount
to a switch trader who, in turn,
must find someone who can purchase
something with the credits.
A third form of countertrade is
known as counterpurchase or
"offset" agreements. This occurs
when one company, in order to
complete a sale, agrees to buy
"non-resultant" products (goods
not related to its normal business)
from the second party in order to
offset the cost of the transaction to
the second party.
One of the more popular types of
countertrade is the compensation or
"buy-back" deal. A typical buyback
arrangement might involve a
Western firm building a plant in a
foreign country and then being
compensated with goods produced
at the plant.
Countertrade offers several
advantages for emerging and lesser
developed nations. It can reduce
trade imbalances and the outflow of
currency, while it generates the
currency needed for industrial development.
On the other hand,
U.S. companies, traditionally preferring
to deal on a cash basis,
often cite disadvantages. The quality
of the products offered by emerging
and less developed countries is
sometimes inferior, and the burden
of long term obligations, some
lasting ten years or more, are not
uncommon. American business
people also find that they often
must deal with red tape, especially
in Communist countries. U.S.
firms, however, are finding that
countertrade is becoming a necessity
if they wish to continue to compete
in the world trade market. As
former Secretary of Agricul ture
Robert Bergland told The New York
Times last October, fl •• • when a
company decides it wants to engage
in countertrade, it opens its
doors to the three-quarters of the
world's population that cannot
afford to deal in hard currency."

'56 Alums Return to Celebrate
Silver Anniversary Reunion
There was talk of old times,
friendships reestablished, memories
shared and visits with former profs.
"Yes, the old campus has changed
some" - "Larry Finney is still the
same, but the towel is bigger" -
"the Senorita - ever charming" -
"and Martha S 1yder remembers
EVERBODY'S name."
The informal reception in the
Goldwater Lounge on Thursday
evening prior to Friday's graduation
provided the alums and faculty
and staff an opportunity to get
together and remember times past.
It also gave the Silver Reunion honorees
a chance to catch up on news
of the growth and development of
On Friday the group met in the
alumni office, visited the placement
office, the library and academic
affairs office, and were treated to a
campus tour before attending the
pre-commencement luncheon with
the board of trustees at President
Voris' residence.
Several last minute cancellations
cut attendance to a dozen, with
honors for the longest trip going to

At the graduation ceremonies the
alums were presented their Silver
Graduation Certificates.
This is the second year the alumni

few. The list is lengthy and
includes numerous other ad-alley
names. T-Birds are employed
throughout these agencies. Benton

on the judging panel for more than
10 years, and also claims the
highest number of T -Birds in their

close ties with AGSIM is Young &

Many consumer product companies
also participate in INTERAD
judging, such as Vicks Chemical
Company, Colgate Palmolive and
the Clorox Company.
Schering-Plough International
supported the '81 program with a
generous donation.
The winning INTERAD team of
spring '78, presented their entire
campaign before the full membership
of the American Association of
Advertising Agencies at its
national meeting, held in Scottsdale
at the Camelback Inn. This
exposure for AGSIM and its
students was arranged by
Schlesinger, who served as national
director at large and chairman of
the government relations committee
of the Four A's.
Interest in the INTERAD
program has grown to the point
that tickets for admittance must be
obtained well in advance of each
semester's presentation. Standingroom-
only crowds plus the local
fire marshall's insistance on open
aisles prompted the use of this type
of attendance control.
Schlesinger sees the future of
advertising in computers and
electronics and as for the future of
INTERAD, he predicts the presentations
will continue to be one
of the important interesting events
on campus. They will continue to.
improve in scope and sophistication
and make contributions to
consumer marketing and the
advertiSing profession. And as long
as Paul Schlesinger has anything to
do with INTERAD, you can bet on
those predictions!

"extremely active core of eight to ten
people" who are great to work with
and who wish to continue their contact
with the school and its alumni. More

months, the Club has worked with 10
to 15 prospective students and has provided

ITT Lecture Series
Focuses on Latin Atnerica
The International Telephone and
Telegraph Corporation, which has
sponsored Key Issue Lecture Series
at colleges and universities
throughout the country since 1973,
selected AGSIM as the site for one
of its 1981-82 programs.
The theme of the series at American
Graduate School of International
Management is "Latin
American Economic Development:
A Progress Report."
The program, comprised of seven
lectures presented by experts on
Latin America, covers economic,
political and social topics. The
series is being directed by Professor
Joaquin Duarte, Chairman of the
International Studies Department.
In discussing the rationale for
focusing on Latin America, Duarte
noted that no geographic region in
the developing world offers better
opportunities for trade and investment
with the U.S., Europe and
Japan than does Latin America. He
called Latin America a "third world
pacesetter" in such initiatives as
OPEC, the Group of 77, UNCTAD,
regional integration, regional development
banks, economic models
and even political models.
The opening lecture was presented
by Baltazar Ponguta, chief
economist, VITRO, Monterrey,
N.L., Mexico, who discussed The
Evolving Mexican Economy on
November 5, in the Valley Bank
Center concourse in downtown
Calling oil wealth the key to
Mexico's growth, Ponguta pointed
out that the peso will increase in
value and the country's manufactured
goods will not be able to
compete in export markets if Mexico
exports too much oil. Conversely,
exporting too little oil will produce
a trade deficit.
He also listed several of what he
called structural problems in Mexico
that need attention. Included
Baltazar Ponguta, chief economist, VITRO,
Monterrey, N.L. , Mexico, kicked off the
ITT Key Issues Lecture Series in November
with a lecture on the Evolving Mexican

Resources in Latin America.
were high unemployment, undere.
mployment, a too-rapid population
growth, the concentration of
resources jobs and wealth in the
cities of Mexico City, Monterrey
and Guadalajara, poverty, and
migration to the U.S. and from rural
to urban areas. Also included on
the list were inadequate roads, railroads,
and port facilities along with
deficiencies in hospitals and
schools. Ponguta said that these
structural problems will take a great
deal of capital, organization and
time to solve.
In discussing Mexico's oil, Ponguta
pointed out that the country
has proven oil reserves of 72 billion
barrels, probable reserves of 58 billion
barrels and potential reserves
of 250 billion barrels. With this, set
against a stable and flexible political
system, Mexico can only improve
its situation.
He stated: "In terms of opportunities,
Mexico is perhaps the hottest
prospect for trade and investment
in the Third World, particularly
with respect to the U.S."
Touching on international relations,
Ponguta noted that Mexico,
as the first Latin American country
to undergo a genuine social revolution,
has a considerably more positive
attitude toward revolution than
the U.S. He added that Mexico has
developed a tried and true method
for dealing with the left, both
domestic and foreign, based on the
assumption "that exclusion, ostracism
and hostility accomplish nothing-
while the establishment of
ties of friendship, interest and the
like produces mutual understanding
and cooperation."
The second speaker in the ITT
lecture series was Dr. Bernardo
Grossling, natural resources advisor
to the Inter-American Bank. A
noted geophysicist and expert on
world energy, Dr. Grossling lectured
as a private scientist and discussed
Energy and Natural Resources
in Latin America. Speaking
in the auditorium on campus on
January 21, Grossling stated that
the amount of undiscovered oil in
the world may be two to three
times larger than is commonly perceived.
He noted that the eventual
depletion of the earth's petroleum
resources would occur within a few
decades at worst, and in not more
than a century at best, if a reason-
able rate of economic growth continues
(three percent per year or
so). He sees solutions to the world
energy crisis as hydro-electricity,
biomass, solar energy and fusion,
the still unbridled form of nuclear
energy. He pointed out, however,
that to reach this new energy
plateau, the next 30 to 50 years will
be crucial. "Most societies are left
only with the petroleum option to
fill the energy gap in the required
time," he said, "and this oil bridge
is crucial."
Likening the world energy crisis
to a war scenario, Grossling noted
that certain unknown factors can
suddenly and drastically turn the
entire machinery on a different
course-but not necessarily a negative
course. He thinks it is conceivable
that a breakthrough in fusion
could occur, allowing large quantities
of energy at a very low cost to
become available, or that possibly
five to ten more exceptionally large
petroleum accumulations may be
found, upsetting the energy scenario
for two or three decades. It may
also be that the conversion of solar
energy to electricity may provide

cheaper electricity than hydroelectricity,
or that perhaps even an entirely

With regard to Latin America and
the energy problem, Grossling
noted that while some Latin American
countries have suffered heavy
balance of payments problems because
of their dependence on petroleum
imports, others are selfsufficient
or have a surplus of petroleum
to export. He contends that
Mexico will con tinue to merge as
probably the most outstanding petroleum
country in the world, and
the heavy crude oil of the Orinoco
Belt in Venezuela appears to be an
economically viable resource.
Because of its geography and
climatic conditions, Latin America
is well endowed with hydroelectric
resources-in fact some of the
largest hydroelectric projects in the
world exist there, and several countries
make wide use of this source
of power.
Apparent as it is that Mexico,
Venezuela and Trinidad have remaining
petroleum resources that
have an impact on world markets,
Grossling estimates that soon there
will also be important petroleum
discoveries in other countriesArgentina,
Colombia, Peru and
Bolivia for instance.
In summa tion, Dr. Grossling
said, "that in solving the world
energy crisis what is at stake is not
the failure of certain efforts here
and there, but the stability of modern
