Stern School of Business will welcome students this spring to two new one-year MBA programs, one for those interested in fashion and luxury goods and one in technology for those who want to add business skills to their tech expertise. The goal, says Raghu Sundaram, is to combine the breadth of an MBA with the depth you'd get in coursework for a master's in data science, say."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "I always believed business school was about crunching numbers and producing valuations, but the courses in Stern’s Social Impact Core—namely, Business and Its Publics and Professional Responsibility and Leadership—broadened this mindset and forced me to reflect on why I was embarking on a career in business and the moral principles behind this decision."

Excerpt from Health -- "'Start by designating a certain time each day that's tech-free -- like while you're eating lunch," says Adam Alter, PhD, a professor at NYU and author of Irresistible: The Rise of Addictive Technology and the Business of Keeping Us Hooked. 'Then see how you feel after a week or so. Most people feel happy with the change, and they go on to expand it.'"

Excerpt from CNBC -- "'"Only the Paranoid Survive" offers practical advice on how to bridge that narrow line between catastrophe and opportunity, and seize the opportunities,' the Harvard Business Review said in 1996 when the book first came out. 'That's why this book isn't just for managers of high-tech businesses.'"

Excerpt from WalletHub -- "In theory, having a photo on your credit card would deter fraudulent use, but only for in-person retail transactions. Increasingly, transactions are moving online and the physical credit card does not come into play. Also, fraud is easier to perpetrate online and can be done from anywhere in the world."

Excerpt from Bloomberg View -- "'You can see quickly that Tesla is singularly unsuited to using debt,'; wrote Aswath Damodaran back in August, when it was issuing debt. But 'bond investors pretty much ignored the carmaker’s prolific cash burn and repeated failures to meet production targets and lent it $1.8 billion at record-low interest rates.'"

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "'Classroom learning is extremely important and it gives you the tools necessary to work in a capacity like this, but this experience really elevates things,' [Edelson] continues. 'The opportunity to work with real-world data and real-world information in a significant way makes it much more meaningful.' ... 'Like many other top business schools, our undergraduate students are very high IQ, very quantitatively advanced, and are often seeking intellectual opportunities that go beyond traditional coursework,' Sundararajan says. 'Having an undergraduate research program fills that need to an extent.'"

Excerpt from The Washington Post -- "'There is a new social contract we are getting into with digital platforms,' Sundararajan said. He suggested that governments need to start forming alliances that are in the public interest — and start getting comfortable with private companies taking on regulatory responsibilities. 'Of course, there’s always a risk that they abuse this privilege,' Sundararajan said. 'But, honestly, I don’t see an alternative.'"

Excerpt from The Wall Street Journal -- "'The moment you get someone on your ecosystem, and they become fluent in your operating system, the switching costs become very real,' Mr. Galloway said. A lot of consumers start on Apple’s or Google’s operating system and never switch, 'so it’s logical to lock them in early,' he said."

Excerpt from Yahoo Finance -- "I think that the financial industry provides a good background for how to think about this. In December I proposed that we think in terms of some sort of KYC [know your customer] laws for social media platforms like we have for financial institutions. And that is some sort of a safeguard so that they know who is paying them, so that would be a good start. But more recently I made the case that that really doesn't go far enough..."

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "That there are some overtures coming out of China, that they might be willing to negotiate behind the scenes to try to avert a trade war. These are overtures that they have made in the past, they have even committed to making some changes. But what we observe is technically they make some minor changes and five, ten years from now, we are right back in the same position trying to ask for the same kinds of market access."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "I enjoyed getting exposure to so many professionals, industries, and roles and being able to connect with my professional network after school. Because NYU is in the city, I was able to pursue many of these learning opportunities during the school year through internships and get a better idea of what the industries I was most interested in offer."

Excerpt from the Financial Times -- "Aswath Damodaran, a finance professor New York University's Stern School, has spent the past week valuing Spotify on his popular blog ahead of its initial public offering on April 5th.

Excerpt from the Harvard Business Review -- "One woman I spoke with, a successful entrepreneur who was interning at a tech startup before going to business school, excitedly described her most recent position where, for the first time in her career, she reported to a black woman.

This list includes varying types of records, including in some cases only names, but in other cases names, addresses, aliases, etc. Financial institutions would be required to screen any virtual currency address provided for a transaction against a list to be provided by OFAC, and to either report, deny service to, or block transactions involving any listed addresses."

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "Many times over the last three decades, the challenges of the Department of Justice were very mild in a sense that it would allow the mergers to go through with various behavioral restrictions, or conduct restrictions that the companies had to follow after the merger. Why the Department of Justice is concerned, and I think it's a legitimate concern, is there was never a follow-up, so the company said, 'We are going to do all these things,' and the merger went through and they didn't really do these things. ...I think both sides have a hard task in front of them and that is why this trial is interesting and why the outcome is uncertain."

Excerpt from Barron's -- "On Wednesday, Zuckerberg managed to sound contrite and give the impression that they are taking action. But he showed up with a squirt gun at a fire he started. What they should be doing is over-correcting. When Tylenol was a victim of tampering in the 1980s, Johnson & Johnson pulled bottles of it from every drugstore, supermarket, and bodega in the country."

Excerpt from The Washington Post -- "Author and professor Adam Alter compares these new technologies and smart devices to slot machines and other addictive substances in terms of their impact on our minds and physical well-being — as well as on our inability to turn away."

The best solution to fatigue from after-work work, she said, was an honest conversation about expectations between employer and employee. Unfortunately, she said, 'those conversations rarely happen.'"
