Bloomberg logo
Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "That there are some overtures coming out of China, that they might be willing to negotiate behind the scenes to try to avert a trade war. These are overtures that they have made in the past, they have even committed to making some changes. But what we observe is technically they make some minor changes and five, ten years from now, we are right back in the same position trying to ask for the same kinds of market access."

Professor Nicholas Economides outlines why the Department of Justice is concerned about a potential AT&T-Time Warner merger

Bloomberg logo
Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "Many times over the last three decades, the challenges of the Department of Justice were very mild in a sense that it would allow the mergers to go through with various behavioral restrictions, or conduct restrictions that the companies had to follow after the merger. Why the Department of Justice is concerned, and I think it's a legitimate concern, is there was never a follow-up, so the company said, 'We are going to do all these things,' and the merger went through and they didn't really do these things. ...I think both sides have a hard task in front of them and that is why this trial is interesting and why the outcome is uncertain."

In a Q&A, Professor Scott Galloway weighs in on Facebook's handling of the Cambridge Analytica scandal

Barron's logo
Excerpt from Barron's -- "On Wednesday, Zuckerberg managed to sound contrite and give the impression that they are taking action. But he showed up with a squirt gun at a fire he started. What they should be doing is over-correcting. When Tylenol was a victim of tampering in the 1980s, Johnson & Johnson pulled bottles of it from every drugstore, supermarket, and bodega in the country."

Professor Sonia Marciano shares her views on the proposed "right to disconnect" bill

The New York Times Logo
Excerpt from The New York Times -- "But now that round-the-clock communications are ingrained in the way we work, some businesses might view cutting out these communications as shortening the workday, and hurting their bottom line, said Sonia Marciano, a professor of management and organizations at New York University’s Stern School of Business. The best solution to fatigue from after-work work, she said, was an honest conversation about expectations between employer and employee. Unfortunately, she said, 'those conversations rarely happen.'"

Professor Arun Sundararajan discusses the implications of Uber's recent crash on the testing of autonomous vehicles

Bloomberg logo
Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "...Today we are in the age of artificial intelligence, in the age when the consequences of having technology not working the way that it should can be life threatening and so I'm hoping that what this causes is a close look at the philosophy surrounding technology regulations and technology testing and perhaps taking a book from the biological sciences and medicine where things are tested and perfected and then people wait for a few years to better understand any unintended consequences before the product is finally rolled out to the public."

Professor J.P. Eggers discusses the potential regulation of Facebook

Nightly Business Report logo
Excerpt from Nightly Business Report -- "I think the recognition that there's obviously been this, as Ms. Sandberg said, breach of trust and the implications that the government and policy makers may want to weigh in on that and the implications of that. I think this becomes a real question: can Facebook help to... co-create the regulations that might be put in place that would govern some degree of control over both advertising and the management of social media online? To me the real question is how deep those regulations would actually go if they were to be put in place and how enforceable they would be..."
