Excerpt from VentureBeat -- "'These are the big nine companies that control the future of AI,' Webb said. 'They’re all partnering with academic institutions, the money’s flowing from here, there’s a free flowing of research going back and forth, and so essentially our next era of computing is in the hands of these nine companies and three of those companies — Tencent, Baidu and Alibaba — I would argue are probably the most important ones you should pay attention to.'"

Excerpt from Inc. -- "Integrating online shopping with offline pickup and delivery will only become more common, says Anindya Ghose, director of NYU Stern's master of business analytics program and author of TAP: Unlocking the Mobile Economy, in an email to Inc.

Excerpt from BBC Capital -- “If you’re competing for attention there’s an arms race – and companies aren’t going to introduce stopping cues, for example, if none of their competitors are doing the same thing.

Excerpt from The Economic Times -- "Inflation is back but inflation is 2%, 2% is not astronomically high inflation. It is actually inflation that is consistent with a healthy economy. When we talk about inflation, we have to realise that part of the reason of inflation is the fact that the US economy is finally delivering wage increases."

Excerpt from Forbes -- "All brands need to be true to their values. Their actions and initiatives need to reflect these values.

'Hastings and Bezos are the new studio chiefs, the new kings. Amazon could create the next "Game of Thrones" and monetize it by selling paper towels.'"

Excerpt from Pacific Standard -- "After viewing each ad, participants rated it for believability and bias, and assessed the sponsoring candidate in terms of honesty, sincerity, and qualifications for the job. For the second study, the 338 participants read and evaluated fictional campaign ads that did or did not conclude with the tagline. The results: 'Not only did the "stand by your ad" tagline enhance the perceived believability of policy attack ads,' the researchers write, 'it also produced more positive evaluations for the ads' sponsoring candidates.'"

Excerpt from The New York Times -- "'When companies go on acquisition sprees like this, they can suffer from what some call indigestion,' said Robert Salomon, an associate professor at the Stern School of Business at New York University.

Excerpt from C-SPAN -- "In 2010, when Steve Jobs was looking very thin, students started asking me, 'What's going to happen?' How much of that magic is in the man himself, or how much of it is actually just a myth and it's really at Apple? Is that innovation capacity embedded in the organization structure, in the routines of Apple, or was it really him? Will we lose it? Is there a successor, can it be handed down? And fundamentally what people wanted to know was, 'Can I do it? How can I have that innovative capacity?'"

Excerpt from Delta Sky Magazine -- "Like NYU Stern's traditional full-time MBA, the Andre Koo Tech MBA targets students with several years experience, but it has a more specialized focus: 'We are looking for people with a very, very deep interest in technology and a background in technology,' [Sundaram] says.

Excerpt from Stamford Advocate -- "'RBS is generally pulling back, and I don’t think there’s a lot the governor or state Legislature can do to avoid the pulling back,' said Lawrence J.

Excerpt from Mic -- "Now, there are few investments that grow as much or as quickly as stocks: $100 invested in Treasury bonds in 1928 would be worth about $7,000 today, according to calculations from New York University finance professor Aswath Damodaran. That same money invested in the stock would be worth nearly $400,000."

Excerpt from The Sun -- "Discovered in 1999, the effect was identified when a Mr McArthur Wheeler robbed two banks in Pittsburgh, USA, in broad daylight without a balaclava masking his face. Later that day, clear footage of Wheeler was all over the local news. He had smeared lemon juice on his face, thinking it would make him invisible to security cameras. Wheeler knew that lemon juice was used as invisible ink in letter writing but was stupid enough to believe it would hide his identity. This case came to the attention of David Dunning, a Cornell University psychology professor and his student Justin Kruger. And eventually it became the first recorded example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect."

As they do this over and over, new solutions emerge."
