     SUMMER ASSOCIATES AT CORNERSTONE RESEARCH:

     Cornerstone Research provides an interesting and rewarding
     work environment. Our staff works directly with esteemed
     faculty experts in a distinctive "partnership" that
     combines the strengths of the academic and business worlds.
     Associates are central to case work at Cornerstone Research
     and are involved in all phases of a project. In the initial
     stages, associates actively participate in the formulation
     of the work plan and the analysis of issues. As the case
     progresses, associates handle the complex aspects of a case
     directly, while managing and advising analysts. They work
     with senior staff, experts, and clients to develop case
     strategy and to determine how best to communicate our
     findings.
