Experience Stern | News & Events

The last year and a half have dramatically changed the work environment at most organizations, and have forced us to rethink how to accomplish collaboration, innovation and productivity. This has resulted in new technologies, organizational practices and norms that have enabled fundamental changes in how we come together and create things. In this fast-paced conference, scholars and practitioners will share their knowledge about managing remote innovation and/or the new technologies and practices that are enabling it. We will hear their lessons learned, and some predictions for what we might see in the future.

On Tuesday, September 14, 2021, the NYU Stern Berkley Center for Entrepreneurship will host the Entrepreneurs Challenge Kick-Off & Info Session.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants--  "As the table below shows, with the exception of the University of Michigan Ross School of Business, which dropped one spot out of a tie for third place, the top seven schools remain ranked the same as last year: MIT Sloan School of Management second, UC-Berkeley Haas School of Business third, and two schools tied at fifth, NYU Stern School of Business and Texas-Austin McCombs School of Business, just as they were last year."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants--  ""Here at Stern, where I’m earning my MBA, IQ + EQ (intelligence and emotional quotients) is a core value. Sternies are living testaments to these qualities. Not only does the entire application require a minimum of 2 EQ endorsements, your essays and interviews need to showcase them as well. Stern also has a smaller cohort (our class size is 320). This creates a more tight-knit community; you’re not just another face nor number. Being in the most diverse city in the world, it attracts people who crave diversity or embody it. EQ is not something that’s desired at Stern, it’s necessary."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- “If you’re Stern, you’ve got to like where things are headed in the full-time MBA. For a bonus, the new class set a school record for average Graduate Management Admission Test score, putting Stern in rarefied company in that key metric, too."

"The 'applicant-centric approach' will continue in the next admissions cycle, Rios says, noting that ‘the combination of a more seamless process for applicants and continued strong demand for our rigorous program’ led to the 8% increase in applications and the enrollment of 360 students in the Class of 2023, up from 317 last year and even surpassing the 359 who enrolled in fall 2019.’”

Excerpt from BusinessBecause-- “'People are getting exposed to remarkable content from around the world that five,10, 15 years ago, there’s no way they would have watched,'” Paul [Hardart] points out. “'I'm hopeful that it’s engendering empathy, and an understanding of different cultures.'”

Excerpt from BusinessBecause-- "Geeta Menon, professor of marketing at New York University’s Stern School of Business, agrees that using celebrity influencers can be a great way to access certain population groups. “'It’s important to disconnect vaccines from politics. It shouldn’t be about your political leanings,' she says."

Excerpt from Financial Times-- "When Michael Posner proposed creating a human rights centre at New York University, he firmly deflected suggestions that it should be based at the law school. Instead, in 2013, he established the Center for Business and Human Rights at Stern School of Business, where he is Jerome Kohlberg professor of ethics and finance. It was the first such entity at a business school."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants--  "I felt NYU Stern had the greatest diversity of student body and professors. I attended an information session and saw that the people there were interested in learning and growing as a group, not just individually."

Excerpt from Find MBA--  "The NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights was setup in 2013 in New York City. The first center dedicated to human rights at a business school, it has developed a series of MBA courses, teaching models and tools focused on addressing human rights challenges  across economic sectors."

Taught by Professor Tensie Whelan, this 14-week course provides participants with the ability to help their business be a force for change through ESG (environment, social, and governance) investing, sustainable supply chain management, employee and consumer engagement, sustainability marketing, and more.

Every choice a corporation makes has financial implications. As a result, when defined broadly, every business decision fits under the rubric of corporate finance. In Corporate Finance with Professor Aswath Damodaran, students become familiar with this “big picture” of corporate finance while also learning the intricate theories and techniques that are crucial to maximizing shareholder value

Taught by Professor Aswath Damodaran, one of the leaders in the field, Advanced Valuation is for analysts, financial officers, and portfolio managers seeking a deeper understanding of valuation, and the skills and knowledge to confidently make financial decisions. Through video lectures, live Q&A sessions, and a hands-on valuation project, students will learn how to estimate the value of any business, small or large, private or public, in a developed or an emerging market.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants--  "Before joining NYU Stern, Lance Banks launched a San Francisco comedy festival, Clusterfest, which attracted performers like Tiffany Haddish and Julio Torres."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants--  "NYU, as a wider university, houses some of the most artistic and creative collectives in the world. I believe this “poet DNA” organically embeds itself into NYU Stern’s more quant, data-driven curriculum. Many aspects of business today tend to be mundane or outdated and require the type of creativity or out-of-the-box thinking that Stern provides its students to foster innovation. As I began to explore different MBA programs, I was keen on finding a school that challenges the status quo. Stern’s belief to embrace change, if not create it, immediately resonated with me."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "Stern’s Executive MBA: Washington, DC program offered at NYU’s DC location provided me with the opportunity to learn from top professors from the institution and earn the same MBA degree without having to travel to New York City. The way the program is structured (meets one weekend a month), I was able to maintain a work life balance and allot time throughout the month to work on class projects and assignments."

Excerpt from Accepted.com-- "So the two-year, full-time MBA program is really geared towards helping folks make a transition in their career and helping elevate them to that next phase of their professional life. For some folks it’s a career pivot, and then for others, it’s folks that are looking to build out a skill set so that they can continue to move up the proverbial ladder, as I’m sure you’ve seen as you’re connecting with prospective students.
 
The thing that I love about Stern is the experiential components of the program: the fact that the students have the opportunity to put into action what they’re learning in the classroom with real problems and providing solutions for real organizations. You’ll see this through our experiential learning suite of options. I know you spoke with us last year when we launched our Change:Studio which has a number of opportunities for students to put some solutions into practice for real organizations."

Excerpt from Find MBA--  “Business schools are tasked with equipping the next generation of leaders with the skills they need to run thriving, innovative businesses that deliver value to society,” says NYU Stern professor Michael Posner, director of Stern’s Center for Business and Human Rights. “This will require that human rights considerations are integrated into every aspect of business education.”

Excerpt from BusinessBecause-- “‘As a growth-oriented, dynamic sector, technology is a great fit for MBA students,’ says Beth Briggs, associate dean of career services at NYU Stern Business School.

‘The need for change agents who understand the intersection of business and technology has been rapidly on the rise,’ she adds.

In 2018, NYU Stern launched the Andre Koo Tech MBA, an entirely specialist tech program. It aims at preparing students to be equipped to utilise technology in business, from big data to emerging technologies.”
