Professor Michael Spence discusses the role public and private sectors need to play in helping people prepare for workforce changes

McKinsey Global Institute logo
Excerpt from McKinsey Global Institute -- "The other piece that I don’t think gets talked about enough is that the business side of this is really important. You can’t do this effectively—this is my judgment—if business thinks labor is just another input where the goal is to minimize costs, and you get rid of it when you can. That’s not the way it works in the societies and the economies that seem to be succeeding most with this."

PC Magazine logo 192 x 144
Excerpt from PCMag -- "Let's say you're wondering whether a quest is more engaging if you're trying to save someone versus trying to find an artifact. So you run an A/B test releasing version A to five million people and version B to five million people. You measure different metrics, like how many people return to the mission more than once and how long they spend. If you discover version A works better, you go with the red code and put aside the yellow. And you keep doing that until you have the tenth, twentieth, or thirtieth generation of a game."

Professor Alixandra Barasch explains the growth of negativity bias in online customer reviews

Forbes logo
Excerpt from Forbes -- "When consumers write reviews directly from their phones, they tend to be more emotional, as well as more negative. Part of this is because mobile reviews are more likely to be written during or soon after the experience, when consumers are still feeling strongly about it – for example, an angry consumer will write more harshly about a bad restaurant experience from their cell phone right after the meal ends, than they will later from their desktop, once they’ve had some time to calm down."

Professor Thomaï Serdari explains why many luxury brands maintain and display archives

Luxury Daily logo
Excerpt from Luxury Daily -- "We often see elaborate displays of the most important patrons of the brand in association with a specific product that they particularly cherished.

The narrative shifts from placing emphasis on product to the impact that this branded product has had in someone's life and the emotional bond between that person and the brand."
