Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "Where a lot of people get caught up day to day, going from task to task, an MBA helps you view business and society on more of a global, long-term scale. You are encouraged to think about where various industries and sectors will be in the future, what are the trends that we can see emerging, and to see society and business from a birds-eye view."

Excerpt from Vox -- (2:17) "People who work at museums are very concerned. It changes the nature of what artwork is most attractive to consumers. In order to compete with the trendy colorful exhibits that are popping up, you have to add some of those components to the more traditional exhibits."

'Distance matters,' Mr. Stroebel said, 'in explaining every single county’s connectedness.'"

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "King’s recipe to prevent a re-run: ensure lenders have enough collateral in place at the central bank to justify it acting as lender of last resort, restoring liquidity to the financial system. 'It is vital to sort out the conditions under which those loans will be made in advance, to make sure that banks do have enough collateral or security to justify those loans, and that it’s big enough to let the central bank lend enough money to prevent a bank run and collapse of the system,' said King, who was succeeded by Mark Carney in 2013 and has now returned to academia."

Excerpt from TechRepublic -- "Developers of the future will need to learn more skills, particularly in data analysis, said Kristen Sosulski, clinical associate professor of information, operations, and management sciences in the Leonard N. Stern School of Business at New York University, and author of Data Visualization Made Simple. 'Everything from statistical data analysis, to non-linear and linear data analysis, to machine learning and even artificial intelligence,' Sosulski said. 'It's really not just learning how to code, it's also learning how to analyze data and sell different models.'"

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "As I go into my final semester here at NYU, I have to say that I agree with all the advice and reflections made by these recent graduates. However, I would like to add one piece of advice: do not rush. That may seem very vague, but as my time at Stern comes to an end, I realize there are so many opportunities I said no to or didn’t explore because I thought it was a 'waste of time.' Make the most of the four years you have and don’t feel pressure from your peers or family to do something that won’t make you happy in the long-run."

Excerpt from Quartz -- "The results are strikingly similar to the findings of a February 2018 paper from researchers at NYU and Via, a ride-hail app that operates in New York, Chicago, and Washington, DC, with exclusively shared rides. In that experiment, the researchers considered how best to compensate several thousand 'frustrated' riders who were picked up at least 8 minutes later than Via estimated in New York and DC (the Uber paper, remember, dealt with late drop-offs)."

Excerpt from Vox -- "That’s another feature of financial history, i.e., taking tough measures in the wake of a crisis and then watering them down over time. What’s different this time is that the watering-down began almost immediately instead of waiting a bit. That makes me think that we will not again have to wait half a century or more before the next large-scale financial crisis arrives."

Excerpt from CGTN -- (:34) "It's the beginning of estimating the damage, this storm has a tendency to linger for a long time and drop a lot of rainfall so there will be, I'm afraid, a multiple of the estimate of damage that we have right now."

There’s a potential for AI to be weaponized; and, obviously, it will eliminate some jobs. However, there are also tons of economic opportunities that it creates."

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- (:24) "There's certainly been the improvement in the economy, well not so much from 2007, but from the depths of the great recession which was roughly 2010 but also a greatly improved financial sector, more capital, more liquidity, more resilience generally. So both the economy at large and the financial sector specifically, much improvement since roughly 2008."

Excerpt from CNNMoney -- "'The whole phenomenon is very promising,' said Anindya Ghose, a professor at NYU's Stern School of Business who teaches a course on e-commerce and social media.

'They stumbled upon something — an experiment, you could say,' said Roubini, a professor of economics often identified as 'Dr. Doom.' 'They pretend to be libertarian, but they are a new generation of self-serving gold bugs. They only care about their money, not the protocol or the technology.'"

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- (4:05) "They didn't have to save the Lehman equity holders, but they needed to make it less of a crisis because if I don't know whether you had Lehman exposure, am I going to lend you money? No. And it was that uncertainty that caused everybody to pull in. They pulled in their financing and it led to the crisis."

Excerpt from BBC -- "Stehlik says from a human perspective, managers need to show compassion: 'You have to honour how people put love in their life,' she says. 'The day a manager doesn’t show compassion, then the worker turns around and says, ‘this is a hostile work environment."'
