Excerpt from The Wall Street Journal -- "So why don’t the high profits attract competitors to build new companies—or expand existing companies into new lines of business—for less than the cost of buying stock in existing companies? The problem is longstanding, according to research by Germán Gutiérrez and Thomas Philippon at New York’s Stern School of Business. They show that the previous link between valuation and corporate investment weakened from the early 2000s, and as a result corporates have invested about 10% less than they otherwise would have done."

Excerpt from Connected Futures Magazine -- "'The mistake is to hire a bunch of nerds and hope that good things happen,' said Vasant Dhar, a professor of information systems at New York University’s Stern School of Business.

Excerpt from Forbes -- "'The cool kid premium eventually goes away,' said Galloway, who is also cofounder of research firm L2. 'Instagram played that role two years ago. Facebook played that role four years ago. You can only be the new kid on the block for so long, and then it becomes ROI.'"

Excerpt from Fox Business -- "'The expansion of infrastructure spending, especially on road and rail projects, will help since transport costs are important with respect to goods manufacturers’ getting their input supplies at lower costs and being able to ship their outputs to markets, whether at home or abroad at lower costs,' [White] said."

Excerpt from CGTN -- "Jennifer Carpenter, an associate professor of finance at Stern’s School of Business at New York University indicated having access to this new wealth of information could prove to be a big asset for traders.

Excerpt from Inc. -- "Recent interest in London may have more to do with the relative ease of doing business there, and less with its status as an E.U. entry point. 'The U.K. will still remain an attractive market for companies such as [Snap] not just because of its relative size, but because it has an English speaking population that makes it relatively easy to commission market analysis studies, to find investors for their projects and roll out new products,' says Ari Ginsberg, a professor of entrepreneurship and management and New York University's Stern School of Business."

Excerpt from the Financial Times -- "As virtual teams become the norm rather than the exception, companies need to find ways to smooth out the bumps, whether cultural, linguistic or logistic. One sticking point is often over who will have to get up early or work late for meetings in different time zones. 'That can be a problem, especially if as a manager of the team you’re always making the same set of people do it,' says Beth Bechky, a management professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business."

Excerpt from the Harvard Business Review -- "A classic finding in the psychology literature is the Dunning-Kruger effect (named after David Dunning and Justin Kruger, who first described it): Poor performers in a domain are more prone to overestimate their ability than good performers.
