Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "...We have a strong economy but it doesn't seem to be exploding. You never know, Middle East tensions, the Middle East going up in flames, something like that could cause an explosion but absent that it is pretty much steady as she goes. The interest rate increase announced today, not unexpected, and the fact that we are going to have a few more later this year, again, not a big surprise."

Excerpt from NASDAQ -- "...Ad fraud and high frequency of targeting of irrelevant ads are pain points. What the Blockchain will do is, because of its transparent ledger system it will actually enable both the pain points to be addressed."

Excerpt from The Wall Street Journal -- "'Today, European markets have lower concentration, lower excess profits, and lower regulatory barriers to entry,' Germán Gutiérrez and Thomas Philippon write in a National Bureau of Economic Research working paper."

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "Companies across sectors increasingly understand the value MBAs can bring to their organizations in data analytics roles. These roles are a way for MBAs to combine their quantitative and research skills with their deep business understanding to develop innovative data-driven solutions."

Excerpt from AM New York -- "A 2013 study by Robert Seamans, of the NYU Stern School of Business, and Feng Zhu, of the Harvard Business School, showed classified-ad buyers saved $5 billion between 2000 and 2007 while local newspapers lost billions in potential revenue."

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "'The EQ endorsement was as a big hit, and applicants gave us wonderful feedback about how much they liked being able to express their EQ and IQ in this way,' Gallogly shares. 'And it gave us insight as readers of applications that we historically had not gotten.'"

Excerpt from Esquire -- "As a living monument to the Dunning-Kruger effect, Trump honestly believes that he knows everything there is to know, both about negotiating and about Kim and his nuclear program."

Except from Poets & Quants -- "[The Pick Six and EQ Endorsement] speak[s] to us looking at them beyond a business person to a person that wants to make a contribution and impact. And so it has to be a more holistic and much more individualistic view of what they are, what their DNA is, and what they think their roadmap towards impact will be."

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "Without human labor costs, Nuro’s robot has a better chance to make on-demand delivery profitable than the string of failed startups that have littered Silicon Valley in recent years, says Arun Sundararajan, a business professor at New York University who specializes in the economics of digital goods and networks. But it will take a little getting used to, he says, for consumers."

Excerpt from The New York Times -- "'Based on the research we did, there’s no question that Craigslist’s entry had a big effect on the newspaper industry,' Mr. Seamans said. 'The effect was the change in the way newspapers run their business. What we find is that, as Craigslist is entering different markets at different points in time, newspapers are shifting away from the classifieds ads model.'"

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "A series of coincidences indeed, but Nacson credits his B-school experience for awakening his entrepreneurial spirit.

That brought my attention to the excitement and interest already embedded in me,' he says."

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "'Investors are becoming much smarter -- some, at least -- and they are desperately looking for some information in those intangibles,' [Lev] said. 'You capitalize, you amortize, and you have an income statement that says something, unlike today.'"

Excerpt from CNBC -- "I would say let's start with the mechanism which is mobile. I think it is incredibly important for them to focus on mobile, how to make use of it, what kind of investments to make, what are the targeting strategies with mobile. Number two is the imminent advances in artificial intelligence and analytics. Once you have a mobile strategy is to think about how you can use data and artificial intelligence. The third thing is blockchain. Blockchain is going to be a game changer."

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "The dual focuses of a traditional MBA and the more technical study attracted me because it’s the perfect combination that builds on the foundation I previously established with my undergrad degrees in finance and business analytics. From the beginning I’ve had an interest in both the business and technology side, so the Tech MBA at Stern is the perfect fit in allowing me to increase my depth of knowledge on both areas simultaneously."

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "Such a plan might even work if the banks are able to combine retail businesses, decrease headcount and sell off some global operations, including trading infrastructure, said Roy Smith, emeritus professor of management practice at New York University’s Stern School of Business.

Excerpt from TheStreet.com -- "As the market power of companies such as Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) , Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) and Facebook Inc. (FB) increases, their acquisitions of smaller companies may start to raise red flags for antitrust regulators. A panel of economists and lawyers examined the link between mergers, antitrust reviews and innovation at an NYU Stern School of Business antitrust conference last Friday."

This program is designed for professionals who make financial decisions or frequently communicate with financial decision makers. It is also a good fit for individuals looking to improve their financial literacy and understand the basic drivers of corporate decision making.

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "If you look at the United States right now, we are not only on the precipice of a trade war in general but we are battling one potentially on two fronts. So one with our allies, Mexico, Canada, and the European Union notably and then also with China."

Excerpt from ValueWalk -- "I approached a colleague at NYU Law School who had been teaching Banking Law and had been covering a little bit of Bitcoin for a number of years and I proposed launching a course on this topic. That course, if you fast forward today, has 230 students and is the foundation of a whole program of FinTech courses that we have at Stern and the IOMS Department. This has caught the imagination of a lot of students, but also a lot of employers who are hiring many students in the space."

Excerpt from the Harvard Business Review -- "...being fair requires time and effort, and overworked managers may struggle to prioritize fairness when more urgent technical tasks demand their attention. For managers who want to ensure that they treat their employees fairly, it is important to shield being fair from other competing tasks. Try cementing time with your employees into your schedule so that you’re less susceptible to the effects of workload."
