Excerpt from Front Office Sports -- "'Given (PBR’s) core audience, being the one league that embraces the ‘Right’ side of the political spectrum makes a bunch of sense,' Adamson says. 'If you stand for everything, you stand for nothing. Sports is about more than just watching an event. It’s about connecting with people who share the same passion and have the same view on life.'"

Excerpt from MarketWatch -- "A 2008 study from New York University professor Priya Raghubir and University of Maryland, College Park professor Joydeep Srivastava tested whether people approached other forms of payment similar to how they used credit cards. Their study found that consumers spent more when they were given scrip, a form of a stored-value certificate, rather than cash."

Excerpt from MarketWatch -- "'If a significant fraction of [the world’s bond market] has negative interest rates, that’s pretty unusual,' said Sylla.

'What has changed is Amazon is a big enough gorilla to create something that can change people’s perception of what they should be doing on a hot July day.'"

Excerpt from The Economist -- "Pankaj Ghemawat of NYU Stern School of Business, one of the authors of the DHL report, sees a 'semi-globalised' world in which international threats and opportunities matter but most business activities take place domestically. For most firms, this will mean supply chains will need to become not just shorter, but also faster and smarter."

Excerpt from CBS News -- "'Digital talent now is not a luxury anymore. It's something that companies need just to survive,' said New York University business professor Ari Ginsberg."

Excerpt from The Economist -- "Today’s hot spot is Ethiopia, which has attracted investment by Calvin Klein and H&M. With labour costs of just $26 a month, it might seem a dream destination for the frugal clothier. But a report released in May by the NYU Stern Centre for Business and Human Rights argues that these wages are too low to meet workers’ basic needs, which is fuelling unrest."

Excerpt from Market Screener -- "If you find the notifications are disruptive, distracting or are causing information overload, you can always turn them off in the app's Preferences settings. But a 2019 research study by NYU Stern School of Business (about how app users manage their personal finances when sent overspending messages), has shown that these technological nudges lead to a decline in spending."

Excerpt from ICAS -- "'The key driver is that you want to be able to lock in your most loyal customers and to get them to use you as often as possible and to get them out of the market,' said Allen Adamson, Adjunct Associate Professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business. 'Even if you’re losing money – it’s a loss leader. They will buy something else once in a while, but they won’t change their habits.'"

Excerpt from WIRED -- "Data from social media platforms like Facebook has given scientists unprecedented glimpses into human relationships and how they’re formed, says Theresa Kuchler, a coauthor of the paper and assistant professor of finance at NYU’s Stern School of Business who studies how people make economic decisions."

Excerpt from Tech Insider -- (4:00) "Had they opened up, had the CEO or another senior executive spoken to this more general sense of concern, indicating that the compnay is doing everything it can as soon as it can to find out more and will report back, that could have at least lessened the sense that the company was being evasive."

Excerpt from The Washington Post -- “'The crisis heightened the realization than non-U. S. large financial intuitions like Deutsche were even more fragile, had even less capital than was true of major U.S. banks,' said Larry White, a professor at NYU Stern School of Business. 'Deutsche may well be too big to fail, too big to manage effectively.'”
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Another key variable in evaluating the quality of the program is the years of experience students bring to bear. Rob Salomon, vice dean of NYU Stern’s executive programs, maintains that Stern’s EMBA options in both New York and Washington, D.C., are 'executive first, MBA second. Some of these programs tend to be more part-time programs with students that have fewer years of management experience.' In NYU Stern’s Executive MBA program in New York, students average 14 years of work experience. 'They are on the cusp between vice president and senior vice president levels or they have founded their own companies and are looking to accelerate the growth of their firms,' adds Solomon. 'Sometimes EMBA programs are just a euphemism for part-time MBA programs.'”
