Experience Stern | News & Events

Excerpt from The Economist -- "Today’s hot spot is Ethiopia, which has attracted investment by Calvin Klein and H&M. With labour costs of just $26 a month, it might seem a dream destination for the frugal clothier. But a report released in May by the NYU Stern Centre for Business and Human Rights argues that these wages are too low to meet workers’ basic needs, which is fuelling unrest."

Excerpt from Market Screener -- "If you find the notifications are disruptive, distracting or are causing information overload, you can always turn them off in the app's Preferences settings. But a 2019 research study by NYU Stern School of Business (about how app users manage their personal finances when sent overspending messages), has shown that these technological nudges lead to a decline in spending."

Excerpt from ICAS -- "'The key driver is that you want to be able to lock in your most loyal customers and to get them to use you as often as possible and to get them out of the market,' said Allen Adamson, Adjunct Associate Professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business. 'Even if you’re losing money – it’s a loss leader. They will buy something else once in a while, but they won’t change their habits.'"

Excerpt from WIRED -- "Data from social media platforms like Facebook has given scientists unprecedented glimpses into human relationships and how they’re formed, says Theresa Kuchler, a coauthor of the paper and assistant professor of finance at NYU’s Stern School of Business who studies how people make economic decisions."

Excerpt from Psychology Today -- "Stanford University’s Ashley Martin teamed up with New York University’s Michael North and Columbia University’s Katherine Phillips (2019) to put ageist stereotypes to the test with these more behavioral methods, studying as well the interaction between ageism and sexism."

Excerpt from The Washington Post -- “'We don’t need this commission,' said Michael Posner, the State Department’s assistant secretary for DRL from 2009 to 2013. 'What we need is for the U.S. government, the secretary of state and the president to abide by and uphold international human rights standards we already have adopted.'"

Excerpt from Tech Insider -- (4:00) "Had they opened up, had the CEO or another senior executive spoken to this more general sense of concern, indicating that the compnay is doing everything it can as soon as it can to find out more and will report back, that could have at least lessened the sense that the company was being evasive."

Excerpt from The Washington Post -- “'The crisis heightened the realization than non-U. S. large financial intuitions like Deutsche were even more fragile, had even less capital than was true of major U.S. banks,' said Larry White, a professor at NYU Stern School of Business. 'Deutsche may well be too big to fail, too big to manage effectively.'”
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Another key variable in evaluating the quality of the program is the years of experience students bring to bear. Rob Salomon, vice dean of NYU Stern’s executive programs, maintains that Stern’s EMBA options in both New York and Washington, D.C., are 'executive first, MBA second. Some of these programs tend to be more part-time programs with students that have fewer years of management experience.' In NYU Stern’s Executive MBA program in New York, students average 14 years of work experience. 'They are on the cusp between vice president and senior vice president levels or they have founded their own companies and are looking to accelerate the growth of their firms,' adds Solomon. 'Sometimes EMBA programs are just a euphemism for part-time MBA programs.'”

Excerpt from Ethical Consumer -- "A recent publication by the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights reports how increasing wages in countries like China and India has seen manufacturers move operations to the East African country. These manufacturers supply brands such as H&M and Gap."

Excerpt from CNBC -- "I think [a tax on tech firms] is going to reinforce the ongoing trade war between the US and the European Union... I don't think it will be focused exclusively on tech."

Excerpt from Marketplace -- "And according to Paul Hardart, director of the entertainment, media and technology program at the New York University Stern School of Business, Marvel has such a loyal fanbase that the 'Avengers: Endgame' re-release is probably a great idea, and one that isn’t going to cost very much to promote."

Excerpt from City Journal -- "In the end, SB 50 is no more dead than its predecessor bill, SB 827, which similarly sought to permit multifamily housing near transit lines. Neither the coalition built by the bill’s sponsor, State Senator Scott Weiner, nor the crisis that it aims to address are going away. But if housing reformers are serious about addressing the root causes of the home-voter impulse, they’ll need to plan for contingencies."

Excerpt from Axios -- "Alain Bertaud, author of 'Order without Design' and a professor at New York University, tells Axios that the term 'smart cities' began mostly as a slogan. But over time, its definition has been fungible."

The ASEAN region plays a vital role in spurring economic growth and innovation across several industries both in the region and globally.

Excerpt from BizEd Magazine -- "'These findings indicate that businesses can view these efforts as more than just philanthropy,' says Tülin Erdem, co-author of the report and chair of NYU Stern’s marketing department.

The survey results are consistent with other research that shows an increasing number of consumers prefer socially responsible brands."

(One alum is Analytical Flavor Systems, a machine-learning and artificial-intelligence platform that predicts individual taste profiles that's now being leveraged to design boutique bread flavors.)"

Excerpt from MetroMBA -- “'Healthcare is an incredibly important part of the U.S. and global economy, and even more central to New York City given the hospital systems, pharmaceutical companies, and insurance providers within the broader region. As a result and in line with Stern’s continued push to diversify the opportunity set for our students, this became a priority to make our ambitious goals in the healthcare space something visible and public.'”
