'They helped increase the quality of research by training a new generation of American scientists, who then became productive researchers in their own rights.'"

Excerpt from NBC News -- "'They need to massively strengthen their presence and expertise in internet commerce and mobile commerce in order to even have a chance of meaningfully competing with online behemoths like Amazon. Otherwise, the chance of their survival is low,' Anindya Ghose, a professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business, told NBC News."

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "NYU professors discussed this question at length and decided that data science is sufficiently distinct from computer science and statistics and deserves its own academic center and shingle, said Vasant Dhar, a professor of data science who helped start the Ph.D. program. The field, which seeks to discover knowledge from data, is very interdisciplinary, incorporating everything from linguistics and psychology to neurology. 'NYU is willing to take chances and be innovative and somewhat unconventional, and it’s also part of the DNA of the university,' said Dhar. 'We do expect some schools will adopt Ph.D. programs in this field.'"

Excerpt from Law360 -- "On Monday, Erdem — who has testified in other high-profile cases like Apple v. Samsung and MobileMedia Ideas LLC v. Apple Inc. — said she spent 250 hours examining DirecTV’s 116 ads. Ultimately, she found that the disclosures in those ads were not clear or conspicuous, by performing a series of tests using a single-page print ad. First, she made small changes to the print ad so that the disclosures were more prominent. She then asked test participants a series of questions to determine if they understood the terms of DirecTV’s contract and its monthly subscription price based on the ad."

Excerpt from Al Jazeera -- "When we reach a point that the President introduces any sort of significant economic legislation and wants to try and claim that this has been thought out and vetted by senior business leaders before it's been brought to congress, at that moment it will be difficult to kind of credibly claim that, given the lack of CEO councils."

Excerpt from Marketplace -- "We are unlikely to live in a world in which globalization goes to zero. Given that, it's important for business people and others to make some contingency plans about what does happen if we get a hard Brexit, or what does happen if the NAFTA re-negotiations, whenever they conclude, do lead to a significant raising of barriers. But I think it's very, very silly to either plan for a world of either total free trade or a trade-free world."

Excerpt from Inc. -- "'Updating NAFTA and creating stronger balances between countries rights and needs, that's all in the right direction,' says Ari Ginsberg, a professor of entrepreneurship with a focus on international business at NYU's Stern School of Business. He's particularly heartened that the U.S. has called for the establishment of a special committee to ensure that the needs of small- to medium-size businesses are considered in the broader agreement. 'The signals are much more positive than before for small businesses,' Ginsberg says."

Excerpt from the Daily Mail -- "'These findings suggest that having a camera changes how people approach an experience in a fundamental way,' the authors said, according to Science Daily. 'Even when people don't take a photo of a particular object, like a sculpture, but have a camera with them and the intention to take photos, they remember that sculpture better than people who did not have a camera with them.'"

Excerpt from Footwear News -- "'I would not agree that all companies need or should "take a stand,"' Schenkler said. '[It] depends on the issue: Is it a core value for the company? What is the perspective of principal stakeholders on it? How does it affect corporate reputation? How is it tied to corporate identity and image?'"

Excerpt from the Morgan Stanley Ideas Podcast -- "The most important guideline for achieving inclusive growth is simply to make it an important objective. I think that the more a country decides that they want its growth to be broad-based, that they want it to measure inequality and changes in inequality as a success metric rather than simply measuring the totals, the more likely it is the country will achieve that. I think a mindset where you realize that business can be a really critical agent of social change and that progress in economy is often driven by business and so the costing of business as the force of change as opposed to the accumulator of capital is also an important part of shaping the dialogue."

Excerpt from Mic -- "'Increasingly citizens are holding businesses accountable,' added Tensie Whelan, a professor of business and society at the New York University Stern School of Business. 'It isn’t really an option to say nothing, you have to stand up and be counted.'"

Excerpt from CGTN -- "'I think that we need to look beyond the rent-a-car from a station model and towards the peer-to-peer models. So if you take the analogy of the United States, look beyond the Car2go model or the Drive Now model and towards the models of Getaround and Turo, where an individual can rent a car from another individual rather than picking it up off a station on the street.'"
