Excerpt from CityLab -- "In Indonesia, they have small urban enclaves, called kampungs, where local residents set minimum standards for housing. The city doesn’t interfere—they just connect up the infrastructure.

Excerpt from CGTN -- "'Supreme has mastered the art of scarcity or the marketing of scarcity.

Excerpt from Knowledge@Wharton on SiriusXM -- (10:31) "I think it was the right thing to do, because they do have a name to maintain in the market, so they wouldn't want to alienate their own consumers by having products that are not welcome in Chinese culture, so that was the right thing to do.

Norman White of the NYU Stern School of Business observes that combining a commoditised hardware business with an innovative software business is particularly hard to do."

Excerpt from Bloomberg-- "'It’s not surprising that Lyft is going public before Uber because in many ways they are in better shape to go public than Uber is,' said Arun Sundararajan, a professor at New York University’s business school and the author of 'The Sharing Economy.'

Excerpt from The Wall Street Journal -- "Messrs. Lukianoff and Haidt take on the problems of campus culture through the lens of safety—not that we have too little of it but that we have too much.
