Excerpt from Bloomberg-- "'I believe that the market has over-corrected for GE’s many faults, and at the current stock price, that it is significantly undervalued,’ Aswath Damodaran, a finance professor at New York University, said Wednesday in an analysis on his website."

Excerpt from UPI-- "'It’s transportation, talent and taxes,' said Ari Ginsberg, a professor of entrepreneurship and management at NYU's Stern School of Business. 'Places that have deteriorated in terms of industrialization then became opportunities for new types of business and new types of talent.'"

Excerpt from Daily Mail-- "'Their target was younger, urban people, and the people that are burning their Nikes - I think [Nike is] OK with that,' he continued. 'Obviously they don't want to lose customers, but they are going after their target, which is what you should do in marketing.'"

Excerpt from Financial Times-- "'The context is always different and the law is always changing,' says Vasant Dhar, professor of information systems at New York University’s Stern School of Business. 'That makes it a messy arena for AI to operate in.'"

Excerpt from the The New York Times -- "Aaron Tenenbein, a statistics professor at New York University’s Leonard N. Stern School of Business, estimated Mr. Bailey’s odds would have been 1 out of 115,385. 'It doesn’t matter if he’s playing the same number; it’s still the same chance,' Mr. Tenenbein said. In other words: 'It’s pure luck.'"

Excerpt from mbaMission -- "New York University’s (NYU’s) Stern School of Business provides ample opportunity for its students to spend time abroad during one- or two-week trips, through its 'Doing Business in…' (DBi) program. DBi trips take place between the fall and winter semesters, during spring break, and in May (after classes conclude). Each course (trip) is tailored to its specific locale and includes a mix of lectures given by Stern faculty as well as by local business practitioners and/or government representatives."

Excerpt from Bloomberg-- "Responding to a question about China at an event at New York University on Wednesday, he said both sides lose out in such a clash. 'There are victors and there are losers in a tariff fight,' Greenspan said. 'But that doesn’t say that a more important issue is both are losing, it’s just the winner loses less.'"

NYU Stern Marketing faculty are available to offer perspectives on this season's holiday trends. In addition to commentary on Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday, the following professors can speak to what we will see this year around digital/mobile trends, luxury retail, artificial intelligence and more.

On November 14, NYU Stern hosted the latest installment of the "In Conversation with Lord Mervyn King" series featuring two renowned alumni -- Dr. Alan Greenspan (BS ’48, MA ’50, PhD ’77, Honorary Doctorate of Commercial Science ’05), former chairman of the US Federal Reserve, and John A. Paulson (BS ’78), president of Paulson & Co. Inc., NYU Trustee and member of NYU Stern’s Board of Overseers.

Excerpt from From Day One-- "While at least one company director, investor Erskine Bowles, warned Zuckerberg and Sandberg that the fallout from Russian misinformation would be worse than they expected, their lack of quick action underscores the importance of having 'people with the courage to address the issues' in a company’s leadership, said Prof. Brenner. 'It’s often when companies are successful they miss a lot of these issues, they get complacent and stop asking the hard questions.''

Excerpt from InsideSources-- "'A quite legitimate action of hearings is simply to be a forum, a vehicle for airing various concerns on legislative and regulatory issues,' he said, 'so even if legislation doesn’t follow from any particular hearing, they still serve a value highlighting concerns and bringing issues into public dialogue.'"

Excerpt from Vogue -- "In 2010, a study from New York University’s Stern School of Business by Professor David Yermack discovered that when Obama appeared in a garment it added, on average, $14 million in value to that company."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "As we got to know each of the top 50, we learned that no matter what sparked their interest in teaching business school undergrads, the first time setting foot in front of a classroom to deliver a lecture was momentous for all. Professors use words such as 'electrifying' and 'thrilling,' and such phrases as “unforgettable experience filled with fun” and simply, 'a blast.'"

Excerpt from CGTN-- "I would say from the point of view of a democracy, given that the present deal is so far away from what people thought they were getting, it makes real sense to have a really thorough debate, and even the possibility of another referendum."

Excerpt from The Washington Post-- "As Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt chronicle in their new book, 'The Coddling of the American Mind,' today’s young people tend to be obsessed with safety, troubled by a pervasive sense of threat. Consequently, understandably, they’re anxious and depressed."

Excerpt from Value Research -- "Lev and Gu make several specific recommendations on how financial reports can be made relevant again - by reporting numbers in a way that emphasises 'strategic assets' and how they are nurtured and grown by organisations. Further, they suggest that modified cash flows (adjusted for investments in these assets and after taking into account the cost of capital) are best used by investors for deciding on investments."

On November 13, Professor Diane Lennard shared findings from her new book, Strategic Communication at Work: The Impact Paradigm, as part of the Author Lecture Series.

Excerpt from Marketplace -- "Clearly, you know, when you're injecting that amount of money, there's a tremendous amount of influence on the founders and the leadership."

Excerpt from CNN-- "In terms of the city, there's no arguing this will be good, on most dimensions, for New York. You have to credit Mayor Bloomberg's vision to make the requisite investments to get a third university. The one thing... that's common among any company that's been able to add tens of billions of dollars in shareholder value in a matter of years, not decades, is that they're all headquartered within a bike ride of a world-class engineering university."

Excerpt from MacroBusiness -- "So when Solly Angel observes that across the United States that 'the great majority of workplaces (are) now dispersed outside CBDs, employment sub-centers or live-work communities, and (are) beyond walking or biking distance' he is saying so as a well-informed global expert."

Excerpt from Politico -- "Haidt, co-author of the recent book The Coddling of the American Mind, called Quillette in an email 'a gathering place for people who love to play with ideas and hate being told that there are ideas they are not supposed to play with.'"

Excerpt from The Wall Street Journal -- "'Giving people a phone that does less is asking a lot of consumers,' said Adam Alter, associate professor of marketing at New York University and author of the book 'Irresistible: The Rise of Addictive Technology and the Business of Keeping Us Hooked.'"
