This article focuses on the best business schools according to a survey run by "Forbes." After eight years as a marketer at a small financial planning firm, Diana Awed wanted to speed up her career. But the 34-year-old wasn't interested in taking on the $100,000 of debt that often comes with getting a full-time M.B.A. She turned to the part-time program at the Stern School of Business at New York University. Only 20% of business school students are enrolled in two-year, full-time programs. Part-time evening and weekend programs account for half of current students. Our fourth biennial ranking of business schools shows why students are embracing part-time programs. The top part-time school, Stern's Langone Part-time M.B.A. Program, had a median five-year gain of $166,000, greatly helped by the absence of forgone salary.

The article provides information on baseball finances. Apart from the Boston Red Sox, the biggest baseball story last year happened off the field: Fans and corporate sponsors appear to have finally forgiven the sport for the 1994 players strike that pummeled attendance and revenues. Attendance last year was up by 8% to 73 million, and sponsorship revenue rose 13% to $465 million. The league's operating income averaged $4.4 million per team last year, the first time in three years baseball was profitable and the highest figure since Forbes began tracking team finances seven years ago. The Yankees and Red Sox are often maligned by the other owners for bloated payrolls. Rivals should pay homage instead: The two teams contributed 39% of the $261 million transferred to low-revenue teams as part of baseball's revenue-sharing plan. Baseball team values rose 15% last year, the biggest gain since Forbes started tracking their finances in 1998. INSET: Monopolists Make Millions.

The article provides advice to investors in retail corporations. Krispy Kreme Donughts is the latest illustration of the fact that stunning earnings growth can mask a lot of trouble. Not long ago the doughnutmaker was a glamour stock with a 60% earnings-per-share growth rate and a multiple to match-70 times trailing earnings. Now the stock is at $9.61, down 72% from May, when the company first issued an earnings warning. Investors are not auditors, they don't have subpoena power, and they can't know about such disasters in advance. But sometimes they can get hints that the quality of a company's earnings is a little shaky. Earnings from a company's operations are of higher quality than earnings from stock market investments or from selling off business units. A company's cash cycle is a big component of its earnings quality. The quicker a company can turn over its inventory, the faster it collects its receivables, or the longer it can stretch out its payables, the greater its operating cash flow. It's not how much money a company is making that counts, it's how it makes its money.

Not all that glitters in a corporation shows up on its balance sheet. Beyond the hard assets that can be quantified--the cash and factories and receivables--are intangibles like trademarks, patents and ways of doing business. PepsiCo, for example, shows a tangible book value of $6.5 billion, yet a market value of $86.8 billion.Even if you include in PepsiCo's book value the intangible assets, like goodwill, quantified on its balance sheet, Wall Street says you are still $75 billion short of the company's worth.In the first of a four-part series looking beyond the balance sheet, FORBES examines brands. For this study, valuation research firm Predictiv used an econometric model to analyze the relationship between financial metrics like sales, earnings growth and R&D spending on one hand and market value on the other. The contribution that four important intangible assets--reputation, innovation, management and human capital--make to a company's market value is deemed to be its corporate brand value.

This article discusses the athletic and business success of rookie basketball player Lebron James. In some ways Lebron James, chosen from Akron, Ohio's Saint Vincent-Saint Mary High School as the number one pick in the National Basketball Association draft last year by the Cleveland Cavaliers, is just like every other teenager. In James' case, the math works like this: His rookie contract with the Cavs is a four-year, $19 million deal (the league maximum for a rookie). Due to restrictions from the league's collective bargaining agreement, James' next contract should start at around $13 million and have 12% annual salary increases. In total, by the time he's 25, James should generate $100 million in revenue for other teams from gate receipts, parking, concessions and advertising. Neil Schwartz, who tracks jersey and sneaker sales at market research firm SportScanINFO, thinks James' jersey sales might approach 1.3 million for the first 12 months. By James' seventh season, FORBES calculates, he'll have generated $2 billion in revenues for his team and all his sponsors.
