Excerpt from Decider -- "The changes to interfacing with brands rippled throughout the larger commercial ecosystem.

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "Those pushing for more direct listings disagree. Forcing early investors and insiders to wait six months before selling their shares could actually add confusion to the market, New York University professor Aswath Damodaran said in an interview. 'If it does matter what insiders think enough about the stock to hold it, waiting six months to find out is more dangerous than finding out right away,' he said in an interview. 'I think the effects of lockups are vastly overstated.'"

Excerpt from Fat Mascara Podcast -- "L'oreal or Estée Lauder or any other big company are very careful.

In MLM companies, the only regulations are self-regulations."

Excerpt from Marketing Dive -- "'People tend to share things they experience that are out of the ordinary, and so it's no surprise that if you're staying in an Oscar Mayer mobile hot dog, you're going to post that to your friends 24/7,' said Allen Adamson, an adjunct professor of marketing and branding at NYU Stern School of Business. 'On the flip side, a lot of the hospitality brands are struggling to differentiate from each other. You can't do that with better shampoo or a bigger TV set.'"

Excerpt from Marketplace -- "'The problem is that it is a mixture of extreme influence by lobbyists and also the fact that some regulators are afraid of doing anything because when they do something they are criticized whether they win or they lose.'"

Excerpt from Business Insider -- "'These are used on price tags, these are used in advertising, this is used inside retail stores on signage — all of which are ways to try and get you to anchor on a particular price, so it is against that price that you would then evaluate the current offering,' Priya Raghubir, a marketing professor at New York University's Stern School of Business, told Business Insider."

Excerpt from Markets Media -- “'Fifty years ago New York Stock Exchange technology was still traders and brokers running around on the floor with paper slips, making trades and clearing them,' said Richard Sylla, Professor Emeritus at NYU Stern School of Business. 'They actually had to reduce the hours of the exchange just to catch up.'"

Excerpt from The Wall Street Journal -- “'Nostalgia is never a selling point to the kid,' says Allen Adamson, co-founder of Metaforce, a brand-consulting firm. 'Brand new’ is the most important selling point to kids.'”

This finding has been documented for the first time based on data."
 

Excerpt from Business Insider -- "Relatively new to the application process at NYU Stern's MBA program is what they call ‘Pick Six.’ Since 2017, the school has asked applicants to submit six images, such as pictures or illustrations or graphic design work, along with captions.'This is one of the ways for us to get insight into candidates outside of their academic profile and written work,' said admissions director Lisa Rios. 'They can have fun with it, too, and show us their personal side with Pick Six.'"

Excerpt from Business Insider -- "'The NYU Stern Executive MBA program brings together a rigorous academic curriculum, expert Stern faculty, and a highly experienced cohort of executives from a wide range of industries including financial services, healthcare, technology, nonprofit, and more. Students in our program, most of whom are senior executives with an average of 12 years of experience, not only gain skills that help them further advance their careers to the tops of their organizations, but also develop a lifelong professional network that enables them to connect with Stern students — past and present — who are leaders in their respective fields,' said Neha Singhal, the assistant dean of executive degree programs admissions and marketing at NYU Stern."

Household electronics were a relative bargain. In the days of dial-up modems Americans, who were charged a flat rate for local calls, paid far less than Europeans to get online. But over the past two decades, Mr. Philippon writes in “The Great Reversal”, this paradise has been lost."

Excerpt from USA Today -- “'If you see something you get really excited about, that’s the moment not to send it to other people,' says Paul Barrett, deputy director at NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights.

Excerpt from CoinDesk -- "The promise of these government-backed digital currencies is that they might reduce the need for paper bills and coins, making it easier for consumers and businesses alike to exchange payments.

Excerpt from Marker -- "Retailers also possess the one asset every CPG covets: troves of data to help them make decisions about which products resonate with customers.
