Experience Stern | News & Events

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "One of the most valuable aspects of our program, as we often hear from current students and alumni, is Stern’s collaborative community. For each incoming class, our Admissions team carefully recruits and selects experienced executives with an average of 12 years of work experience. Students become part of a senior cohort of peers from a diverse range of industries and learn from each other as well as Stern’s top faculty, who are handpicked to teach in the EMBA Program. Students end up building a life-long professional network in the program that extends into our vibrant alumni community. And, with the addition of our DC program, we’ve deepened the engagement of Stern alumni based in Washington who now have access to even more local events and featured speakers.”

Excerpt from Time -- "No wonder many of us suffer from what psychologists call “time famine.” No wonder we’re seeing books about reclaiming our time, like Brigid Schulte’s Overwhelmed and Jenny Odell’s How to Do Nothing, and about loosening the grip of cell phones, like Adam Alter’s Irresistible, Nir Eyal’s Indistractable and Cal Newport’s Digital Minimalism."

Geopolitical risks basically mean all the risks which arise due to political tensions between two countries/regions on all kinds of aspects: trade wars, terrorism, military and the like. These risks, which ideally should remain within the conflicted regions, spread across the world financial markets, especially if conflicts involve the United States and oil-producing regions — as is often the case."

Excerpt from Yahoo! Finance -- “'But in the end, even a big epidemic, it won’t really change the world GDP that much. In the worst possible case I can imagine a 2% reduction in world GDP, and even that’s kind of the worst possible scenario. So I don’t think that in this world, with the American market doing so well, I wouldn’t say that there are significant risks for the stock market in the United States.'”

Excerpt from InvesterPlace -- "Dhar said that AI will change 'virtually every area. But the biggest impact [will] be in problems involving perception, that is, vision, language, sounds and movement.

Excerpt from CNN -- “'As a 2019 report by DHL demonstrates, globalization is still strong and by some measures, continues to expand. People still do want to be connected to trade, travel and transact across the world, but in government policy, where economic logic once trumped politics, today it’s often the reverse. The cumulative result of all these measures, protecting local industries, subsidizing national champions, restricting immigration, is always to sap economic growth.'”

Excerpt from Forbes -- "Says Anindya Ghose, Heinz Riehl Chair professor of business at NYU and director of the NYU Stern master of science in business analytics program, 'My sense is that this decision by Bose to close to many offline stores is dictated by cost economics. I do not see much of an impact on them because there are many third-party resellers carrying their products. In particular, as long as their products are available on Amazon, people will have easy access and a convenient method to buy.'”

Excerpt from Real Vision Finance -- “'It boils down to experience. Making mistakes, it’s important to make mistakes…You learn through your mistakes, and in a domain like this you can make lots of mistakes, because it’s treacherous, it’s a noisy kind of problem…every bone in your body should be telling you to figure out what’s wrong with something that seems to work because most things should not work…so there’s really no substitute for experience.'”
