Excerpt from CNBC -- "I would say let's start with the mechanism which is mobile. I think it is incredibly important for them to focus on mobile, how to make use of it, what kind of investments to make, what are the targeting strategies with mobile. Number two is the imminent advances in artificial intelligence and analytics. Once you have a mobile strategy is to think about how you can use data and artificial intelligence. The third thing is blockchain. Blockchain is going to be a game changer."

This has caught the imagination of a lot of students, but also a lot of employers who are hiring many students in the space."

Excerpt from Find MBA -- "In terms of the program itself, we started off focusing on the entertainment industry, and in the late 90s, the entertainment industry was pretty much siloed.

But that has changed considerably, so there’s this huge move toward convergence, and what television is today is really quite different from what it was in the year 2000."

Excerpt from CNBC -- "Italy is an issue. We've got the common currency and if they decide they want to pull out of it, that can lead to a lot of disruption. Imagine that you have a deposit in an Italian bank and they say they want to pull out of the Euro. Do you want to leave your deposit in that Italian bank and maybe you'll end up with Lira and you don't know what the exchange rate is going to be, or will you want to move it maybe to a German bank in Germany? ... I can imagine a lot of fluctuations in the markets as new particular events hit the front page."

Excerpt from The New York Times -- "'I think it’s original and smart and memorable enough to bring in people who might not want to spend their weekends apartment-browsing,' said Thomaï Serdari, an associate professor of marketing at the Stern School of Business at New York University.

Apart from Waymo, I don't see any other company that poses a significant threat to GM being the first to market at scale.'"
