Excerpt from The Irish Times -- "Michael Posner, who served in Barack Obama’s government between 2009 and 2013, said it was “incumbent” on Cabinet Ministers in Dublin to ratchet up pressure on the big internet companies based in the capital over fake news and false information."

Excerpt from Fortune -- "There's something called concept testing where you test the idea, and then product testing where you test does it live up to the concept. In this case it met or exceeded people's expectations, which were pretty high. But if their suppliers were capacity constrained they should have had a back up plan in case they exceeded expectations."

Excerpt from Investments and Wealth -- "An internationally recognized expert on corporate bankruptcy, high yield bonds, distressed debt, and credit risk analysis, Altman has won multiple awards for his research and has served as an advisor to numerous government agen-cies and foreign central banks. His primary areas of research include bankruptcy analysis and prediction, credit and lending policies, and risk management and regulation in banking, corporate finance, and capital markets."

Excerpt from BBC -- "Susan Stehlik, director of New York University’s management communication programme, says she’s used personality tests in her classes and executive education courses. She likes to think of them as'“great conversation starters” for “conversations that maybe you’re not comfortable having.'"

Excerpt from Quartz India -- "The Shopclues sale, in comparison, reportedly came at a throwaway price: between $50 million and $80 million, according to TechCrunch. That’s just over 7% of the company’s peak valuation of $1.1 billion around three years ago. This valuation meltdown for Shopclues is 'one of the biggest in India’s startup history,' according to Anindya Ghose, a professor of technology, operations, and statistics at New York University’s (NYU) Stern School."

Excerpt from Cosmos -- "There was no better example than in tennis, the researchers say. They found that players committed more double faults when facing an opponent with status momentum. Kakkar and colleagues Niro Sivanathan, from the London Business School, and Nathan Pettit, from New York University, were certainly comprehensive in their endeavours."

Excerpt from The Seattle Times -- “'Removing human nuance around something as sensitive around which drivers are barred or disbarred . . . is an effort to reduce costs and to abdicate responsibility,' said Scott Galloway, a professor of marketing at New York University’s Stern School of Business who has focused on the technology industry."

Excerpt from Popular Mechanics -- "The bigger worry is a sharp splintering of the online world, says Amy Webb, founder of the Future Today Institute and a professor of strategic foresight at New York University’s Stern School of Business."

Excerpt from Harvard Business Review -- "We explored patients’ receptivity to medical AI in a series of experiments conducted with our colleague Andrea Bonezzi of New York University. The results, reported in a paper forthcoming in the Journal of Consumer Research, showed a strong reluctance across procedures ranging from a skin cancer screening to pacemaker implant surgery. We found that when health care was provided by AI rather than by a human care provider, patients were less likely to utilize the service and wanted to pay less for it. "

Excerpt from Thrive Global -- "For a working relationship to be most effective, it needs to be built on trust — and a great way to build trust is to show your direct reports that you are reliable, and will prioritize your one-on-ones. In fact, 'consistency and regularity are probably more important than the actual frequency” of the meetings', Blader says."

Excerpt from Quartz -- "Edward Altman, in 1968, introduced the Altman Z-Score as part of a scholarly article published in the Journal of Finance. Altman, currently professor emeritus of finance at New York University’s Stern School of Business, analysed companies based on five financial ratios."

Excerpt from Ensia -- "Not only that, but a recent study by University of California, San Diego, neuroeconomist Uma Karmarkar and New York University associate professor of marketing Bryan Bollinger looking at consumption habits among people who brought reusable bags for grocery shopping found that making a moral or 'good” decision in one domain appeared to give people license to make more indulgent decisions in another.'"

NYU Stern's "In Conversation with Lord Mervyn King" series hosted Indra Nooyi, former chairman and CEO, PepsiCo, and Board of Directors, Amazon this fall.

Excerpt from Agenda -- “'The president is seeking to be punitive to the whistle-blower, and that would be absolutely inappropriate in the corporate setting,' says Karen Brenner, a veteran board director and executive director of law and business at New York University’s school of business. 'It’s my understanding that there’s a strong anti-retaliation protection in government, but right now it’s not being respected.'"

Excerpt from The Business Times -- "Prominent economists from China and the US including Joseph Stiglitz, Michael Spence, and three other Nobel winners say that the two largest economies should abandon trade issues and instead agree to form a new path for more latitude for both countries."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "In theory, you could claim that starting a venture might distract students, taking time away from their studies, extracurricular activities, and networking. Certainly, Lia Winograd made tradeoffs while building Pepper at New York University. At the same time, she counters, she had access to a wealth of resources, and faculty advice – while being able to apply what she learned in real time. In other words, business school served as a safety net that kept the pressure at bay. Even more, she leveraged her alumni connections to amass early seed funding."

NYU Stern's Vincent C. Ross Institute of Accounting Research and the Salomon Center for the Study of Financial Institutions hosted a roundtable discussion this fall, convening academics, banking and accounting industry professionals, policy-makers and regulators, to debate key issues related to the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) standard, its implementation and its effects on lending and pro-cyclicality.

Excerpt from Association of MBAs -- "In this excerpt from When the President Calls: Conversations with Economic Policymakers, Summers talks to the book’s author, Simon Bowmaker, about contrasting leadership styles."
 

Excerpt from Person Place Thing -- "For me it's that connection between civil society and business which is what I do today that creates this opportunity for innovation and creation and actually tackling these challenges together. But you always need, in every single company, one person who will stand up and believe and try it."

Excerpt from Yahoo Finance -- "The work of Alixandra Barasch from New York University, Kristin Diehl at the University of Southern California and Jackie Silverman at the University of Pennsylvania has shown that taking pictures tends to aid recall when people consciously look for specific details or aspects to photograph. They called this 'volitional photo taking.'”

Excerpt from Retail Dive -- "'The deal that is allegedly penned between ABG and Saks will capitalize on the ghost of the creative brand that Barneys used to be by transforming it into a series of soul-less, licensed merchandise for mass consumption,' Thomai Serdari, a professor of luxury marketing and branding at New York University's Stern School of Business, told Retail Dive last week, adding that no amount of 'curation' or homage 'can be as groundbreaking as Barneys has been.'"
