DFJ Mercury has established a formal internship program with the Jones Graduate School of Management (JGSM) at Rice University in order to give students exposure and experience with an early-stage, Houston-based technology venture capital firm. The program will allow students to work directly with DFJ Mercury and a number of its portfolio investments. We believe this program will be beneficial for both DFJ Mercury, by providing us with experienced MBA students to perform deal analysis and review, and the Jones school students, by giving them a chance to apply the knowledge they gain in the classroom to the real world problems which all start-up companies face. The program will also allow great networking opportunities for MBA students interested in venture capital and technology start-ups and could provide students future employment opportunities.

The course provides an analysis grounded in economic principles of issues in organizational design. More specifically, the focus is on how incentive conflicts within a firm can lead to a reduction in shareholder value and how such conflicts can be addressed. We shall study a framework that develops a productive organizational architecture --- assignment of decision rights to the appropriate decision-makers, evaluation of their efforts, and rewards based on performance. Students generally find the text material relatively easy to understand without extensive lecturing by the instructor --- this enables us to spend more class time on applications of the concepts, whether these come from cases, assigned articles, and homework questions.
