29、ng companies eventually lose theirpositions, often quickly and brutally.Mobile phone champion Nokia, one of Europes biggesttechnology success stories, was no36, losing its market share in just a few years. In 2007, Nokia accounted for more than 40% of mobile phone sales37But consumerspreferences wer

30、e already38toward touch-screen smartphones. With the introduction of ApplesiPhone in the middle of that year, Nokias market share39rapidly and revenue plunged. By theend of 2013, Nokia had sold its phone business to Microsoft. What sealed Nokias fate was a series of decisions made by Stephen Elop in

31、 his position as CEO,which he40in October 2010. Each day that Elop spent in charge of Nokia, the companys marketvalue declined by $ 23 million, making him, by the numbers, one of the worst CEOs in history. But Elop was not the only person at41Nokias board resisted change, making it impossiblefor the

32、 company to adapt to rapid shifts in the industry. Most42, Jorma Ollila, who had ledNokias transition from an industrial company to a technology giant, was too fascinated by thecompanys43success to recognize the change that was needed to sustain its competitiveness. The company also embarked on a44c

First-Generation College-Goers: Unprepared and

36、Behind Kids who are the first in their families to brave the world of higher education come on campus withlittle academic knowhow and are much more likely than their peers to drop out before graduation. A When Nijay Williams entered college last fall as a firstgeneration student and Jamaican immigra

37、nt,he was academically unprepared for the rigors of higher education. Like many firstgenerationstudents, he enrolled in a medium-sized state university many of his high school peers were alsoattending, received a Pell Grant, and took out some small federal loans to cover other costs.Given the high p

38、rice of room and board and the closeness of the school to his family, he chose tolive at home and worked between 30 and 40 hours a week while taking a full class schedule. B What Nijay didnt realize about his schoolTennessee State Universitywas its frighteningly lowgraduation rate: a mere 29 percent

39、 for its first-generation students. At the end of his first year,Nijay lost his Pell Grant of over $ 5,000 after narrowly missing the 2.0 GPA cut-off, making itimpossible for him to continue paying for school. C Nijay represents a large and growing group of Americans: firstgeneration college student

40、s whoenter school unprepared or behind. To make matters worse, these schools are ill-equipped tograduate these studentsyoung adults who face specific challenges and obstacles. They typicallycarry financial burdens that outweigh those of their peers, are more likely to work while attendingschool, and

41、 often require significant academic remediation (补习). D Matt Rubinoff directs Im First, a nonprofit organization launched last October to reach out to thisspecific population of students. He hopes to distribute this information and help prospectivecollege-goers fmd the best post-secondary fit. And w

42、hile Rubinoff believes there are a goodnumber of fouryear schools that truly care about these students and set aside significant resourcesand programs for them, he says that number isnt high enough. E Its not only the selective and elite institutions that provide those opportunities for a small subs

43、etof this population, Rubinoff said, adding that a majority of first-generation undergraduates tendtoward options such as online programs, twoyear colleges, and commuter state schools.Unfortunately, there tends to be a lack of information and support to help students think biggerand broader. F Despi

44、te this problem, many students are still drawn to these institutions-and two-year schools inparticular. As a former high school teacher, I saw students choose familiar, cheaper options yearafter year. Instead of skipping out on higher education altogether, they chose community collegesor state schoo

45、ls with low bars for admittance. GThey underestimate themselves when selecting a university,said Dave Jarrat, a marketingexecutive for Inside Track, a forprofit organization that specializes in coaching low-income studentsand supporting colleges in order to help students thrive. The reality of it is

46、 that a lot of low-incomekids could be going to elite tufiversities on a full ride scholarship and dont even realize it. H Many students are coming from a situation where no one around them has the experience ofsuccessfully completing higher education, so they are coming in questioning themselves an

47、d theircollege worthiness, Jarrat continued. That helps explain why, as Im Firsts Rubinoff indicated,the schools to which these students end up resorting can end up being some of the poorestmatches for them. The University of Tennessee in Knoxville offers one example of this dilemma. Aflagship university in the South, the school graduates just 16 percent of its firstgenerationstudents, despite its overall graduation rate of 71 percent. Located only a few hours apart, TheUniversity of Tennessee and Tennessee State are worth comparing. Tennessee St
