Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "Unlike businesses such as Facebook Inc. or Alphabet Inc.’s Google that operate mostly online, Airbnb straddles both the digital and analog worlds, which is why it has faced 'a harder regulatory and legal path than their predecessors,' said Arun Sundararajan, a professor at NYU who has written books on the sharing economy."
 

Excerpt from The Environmental Magazine -- “'Across industries, companies are beginning to recognize that sustainable business is good business,' says Tensie Whelan, professor at NYU Stern, and her statement is clearly backed by consumer purchasing habits in a variety of industries – everything from tourism to fashion."

Excerpt from CIO Magazine -- "Lipshitz and Walter write that, 'The data strongly support the assertion that infrastructure assets generate stable cash flows. With yield (largely contracted) representing a significant portion of total returns, the asset class constitutes a defensive investment.'"

Excerpt from The Washington Post -- "'He knows about chocolate, but it’s clear he knows about other things, too,' says Alixandra Barasch, a professor of marketing for New York University’s Stern School of Business, whom we enlisted to help break down the chef’s appeal."

Excerpt from InvestorPlace -- "Nonetheless, Shopify benefits from the Amazon backlash. Statements from people like Scott Galloway, claiming Amazon partners with companies like a virus on a host, drive smaller merchants to Shopify. This is despite the fact that more than half of Amazon’s product sales are on behalf of third parties."

Excerpt from WalletHub -- "The costs are high because customers with poor credit tend to default at high rates. Lenders need to compensate for this by charging higher fees and interest."

Excerpt from CNBC -- "Companies are getting too much capital in before being subjected to the scrutiny of public markets, says Professor Arun Sundararajan from the New York University Stern School of Business."

Excerpt from Forbes -- "The headlines about the valuation of Tesla seem to multiply along with the company’s share price. As the electric-car maker’s market value recently topped $100 billion, it’s clear that Elon Musk has driven Tesla into a new zone. But, Tesla’s peak is not necessarily because Wall Street believes Musk is doing everything right."

Excerpt from Business Insider -- "Formalizing those systems and processes is hard, but professor Deepak Hegde says getting your company’s culture right is one of the most important things startups need to watch out for when scaling up their teams.

'As a founder, you are so used to doing everything yourself,' Hegde told Business Insider. 'Your startup becomes your baby.'”

Excerpt from Fortune -- "Companies will soon begin to divert their business out of New York and to other states’ points of entry, agrees Lawrence J. White, a professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business. 'There are alternatives, like Vermont,' he says.

Excerpt from InvestorPlace -- "'The unbridled profit maximizing ‘objective functions’ that are applied at scale will continue to abuse data to the extent they can get away with it. The communications act of 1996 protects them. This should change. California’s consumer protection law is a step in the right direction in that it puts businesses on notice for violations, namely, if the data are used for purposes other than those stated by the data collector. But enforcement will not be easy.'”
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Anecdotally, I’ve sensed a lot of interest even from folks who are not necessarily recruiting for sustainability or environmentally focused positions. I think people realize this is something that touches every part of business. So I would say there is a wide interest and whenever I talk about what I’m looking into, other people seem very interested. I don’t know how that compares to maybe several years ago. I know the (Stern) Center for Sustainable Business is becoming even more present and important and getting a lot of features. So I imagine that’s becoming more and more of a driver for students at other schools too."

Excerpt from Forbes -- "Likewise, MBA applications are encouraging more creativity – from NYU Stern’s 'pick six pictures' to MIT’s one-minute video introduction.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "NYU Stern is investing heavily in areas like sustainability. The goal: staying 'relevant' in a rapidly-evolving global business environment that requires resourcefulness as much as digital acumen."

Excerpt from Phoenix Satellite TV -- "Shopping could be fun or it could be better advice. You would go to Home Depot and somebody advises you on what to do, or even your local hardware store and they help you out. Those are situations that people are probably still willing to pay extra. Even though online may be cheaper and more convenient, we're still social animals. We still want to hang out with other people and you can't just spend an entire day behind the computer.'"
 

Excerpt from Morningstar -- "But because of their complexity, bonds and credit ratings also have been intertwined for more than a hundred year (link)s, according to this brief history (link) of the industry by Lawrence White, a professor of economics at New York University."
