Excerpt from CBC News -- "'It's corporate identity and corporate image,' he said. 'When Dick's Sporting Goods does this, it's very much linked to what their business is about … and a customer base that's more closely aligned with NRA interests.' Whether this represents an inflection point is hard to tell, though Schenkler said the company 'has opened the door' for gun retailers to reconsider their policies."

Excerpt from BBC Capital -- "'This is a generation that has actively had entrepreneurial opportunities growing up – in many ways, if you’ve grown up managing your personal brand on Instagram, you’re much better wired to think of yourself as an individual brand instead of a cog in an organisational machine,' says Arun Sundararajan, a business professor at New York University."

Excerpt from Law360 -- "Their statements seem to contradict two reports released this fall by a Georgetown University Law Center professor and by the New York University Pollack Center for Law & Business and Cornerstone Research that found that enforcement actions dropped in the most recent fiscal year and fell particularly sharply once the SEC went under the Trump administration’s control in late January of 2017..."

Excerpt from Hitachi Research Institute -- "So, companies should set public targets, incentives to employees tied to targets, reporting and assessment on those targets and training for employees in sustainability. They can also bring in partners, such as NGOs, other corporations, corporate associations, and government agencies that are working on the issues that are important to them so that their employees can get exposure to different ideas and assistance with implementation."

Excerpt from the Stamford Advocate -- "'The good news for NBC Sports is they beat the competition handily.

Excerpt from CNBC -- "'I think of the four big players: Apple, Alphabet, Facebook and Amazon, Apple is the best value play,' [Damodaran] says. 'It is a cash machine. I never seen a company generate as much cash as Apple has over the last six or seven years.'"

Excerpt from the Harvard Business Review -- "In the 2016 book The End of Accounting, NYU Stern Professor Baruch Lev claimed that over the last 100 years or so, financial reports have become less useful in capital market decisions. Recent research lets us make an even bolder claim: accounting earnings are practically irrelevant for digital companies. Our current financial accounting model cannot capture the principle value creator for digital companies: increasing return to scale on intangible investments."

Those experiences need to be 'Instagram-worthy,' too. The quirkier, flashier and more offbeat the experience, the better, he said."

Excerpt from the Economic Times -- "Ghose says the world needs to recognise the innovativeness of some of the Chinese tech companies and shake off the mental image of Chinese knockoffs.

Excerpt from NBC News -- "'The most valuable person in world of consumer business is an 18 year old. They have influence over what the rest of us believe is "cool" and have a lifetime of discretionary spending ahead of them,' Galloway told NBC News. 'Their recent galvanization against the issue has made the NRA very uncool and an easy target for firms wanting to say to the most important cohort "Hey, we get it, and are with you."'"

Excerpt from VentureBeat -- "AI is the next era of computing, and it’s important for the business world to understand just how to unlock its potential. In a recent Facebook Live event, I talked with Amy Webb, professor of strategic foresight at NYU Stern School of Business and founder of the Future Today Institute, about how AI is not a silver bullet and how real value comes from a tailored combination of tools designed to address a specific business problem."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "If you are interested in entering the finance industry, this [Financial Services Industry] class is a MUST. It does not get into the nitty-gritty quantitative modeling, but rather focuses on the structure of the industry and all its different business models. From boutique hedge funds to the biggest banks, the professor teaches students how these firms operate and make money. But most importantly, you learn why they make certain decisions and how it affects the industry as a whole."

On February 23, 2018, the social enterprise student organizations of New York University’s Leonard N. Stern School of Business, School of Law, and Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service will host the 8th Annual NYU Social Innovation Symposium (SIS).

What might happen is that congress might pass a rule, a law, that says net neutrality is okay and reverses the present regulation.."

Excerpt from WalletHub -- "If someone desperately needs credit, then an unsecured credit card may make sense; but the risks are that he/she will find repayment difficult, and then will face mounting late fees and penalties, which can greatly increase the debt burden. Further, he/she ought to explore other (potentially lower-cost) possibilities, such as borrowing from a credit union -- or even borrowing from friends or family. If he/she does use the credit card, focusing on repayment as soon as possible can help reduce the burden of those fees and penalties."

Excerpt from PolitiFact -- "'Data on other states indicate that a majority of individuals in jails (as opposed to prisons) are present due to failure to make bail, and so are awaiting criminal trial prior to sentencing,' said Arpit Gupta, an assistant professor of finance at NYU's Stern School of Business who has researched the bail system and its impact on low-income defendants."

NYU Stern's W. R. Berkley Innovation Labs will welcome NYU alumni, angel investors, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs and industry innovators to the 16th Annual New Venture Showcase.
