Excerpt from Retail Dive -- "'[ABG CEO] Jamie Salter's openness to evaluate a strategy that had not been in consideration just a week ago shows he brings promise with a business model that otherwise could have meant that the Barneys brand as we know it would die a slow death,' Thomai Serdari, professor of luxury marketing and branding at New York University's Stern School of Business, said in an email to Retail Dive."
 

Excerpt from Yahoo Finance -- "'I think it's likely that there will be some deal. It might not be a 100% deal, but it's likely to be an 80% or 90% deal by December. That would mean that tariffs would fall, and I don't think I agree 100% with Goldman when they say they expect tariffs to persist... My expectation is that there is going to be a deal and a big percentage of the tariffs are going to disappear by the beginning of 2020.'"

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "'At this point it looks like Uber is trading of growth for profitability. I think that in the long run once autonomous vehicles actually become a reality, the growth potential of this sector is going to be immense. What I've been hoping is that Uber can hold on, continue to grow steadily until that point without paring back on user growth and going after profits too soon. I think today's numbers are telling us that their CEO is focused very heavily on profitability, whether than taking the Amazon strategy of saying 'we're profitable in some of these markets, let's sacrifice profits for growth.'"

Excerpt from Fortune -- "There's something called concept testing where you test the idea, and then product testing where you test does it live up to the concept. In this case it met or exceeded people's expectations, which were pretty high. But if their suppliers were capacity constrained they should have had a back up plan in case they exceeded expectations."

That’s just over 7% of the company’s peak valuation of $1.1 billion around three years ago. This valuation meltdown for Shopclues is 'one of the biggest in India’s startup history,' according to Anindya Ghose, a professor of technology, operations, and statistics at New York University’s (NYU) Stern School."

The results, reported in a paper forthcoming in the Journal of Consumer Research, showed a strong reluctance across procedures ranging from a skin cancer screening to pacemaker implant surgery. We found that when health care was provided by AI rather than by a human care provider, patients were less likely to utilize the service and wanted to pay less for it. "

Excerpt from Thrive Global -- "For a working relationship to be most effective, it needs to be built on trust — and a great way to build trust is to show your direct reports that you are reliable, and will prioritize your one-on-ones.
