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. If they can’t keep you glued to their products, they’re unlikely to attract ad and referral revenue.”

Excerpt from TheStreet -- "'Right now, Amazon cannot be a bank. There is a very clear legal prohibition against [commerce companies] becoming banks,' [White] told TheStreet. 'Walmart tried 10 years ago and got the door slammed in its face.'"

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 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. 'It is aimed at people who are very clear that this is the career path they want to follow.'"

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. White, a professor of finance at New York University. 'Trying to give them subsidies to stay is a losing bid. You can’t turn back the clock.'"

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."

Excerpt from Livemint -- "The recent restrictions placed by Indian exchanges are against our own long-term interests: providing fair, competitive markets for our own investors. Investors will gravitate towards venues that provide best execution, greatest liquidity through the lowest transaction costs, minimal frictions in terms of regulatory costs."

Excerpt from The Economist -- "The emergence of AVs helpfully coincides with a change in the structure of cities, says Shlomo Angel, an urban-studies expert at New York University. He argues that the monocentric model, with a centre surrounded by suburbs, is a thing of the past. In many large American and European cities, jobs are moving from downtown to the periphery, and workers increasingly commute from one suburb to another, rather than to and from the centre. His analysis shows that 75% of jobs in a typical American city are outside the urban centre."

Excerpt from Harvard Business Review -- "Research by management professors Andrew Hargadon of UC Davis and Beth Bechky of NYU shows that those volunteering ideas in such companies do not mindlessly spit back answers to the questions posed; they respectfully build on the comments and actions of others, considering 'not only the original question but also whether there is a better question to be asked.' As they do this over and over, new solutions emerge."
