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 Psychology Today -- "Stanford University’s Ashley Martin teamed up with New York University’s Michael North and Columbia University’s Katherine Phillips (2019) to put ageist stereotypes to the test with these more behavioral methods, studying as well the interaction between ageism and sexism."

Excerpt from The Washington Post -- “'We don’t need this commission,' said Michael Posner, the State Department’s assistant secretary for DRL from 2009 to 2013. 'What we need is for the U.S. government, the secretary of state and the president to abide by and uphold international human rights standards we already have adopted.'"

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.'”

Excerpt from Ethical Consumer -- "A recent publication by the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights reports how increasing wages in countries like China and India has seen manufacturers move operations to the East African country. These manufacturers supply brands such as H&M and Gap."

Excerpt from Food Industry Executive -- "Sustainably-marketed products accounted for 50% of consumer packaged goods (CPG) growth from 2013 to 2018, according to NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business."

Excerpt from City Journal -- "In the end, SB 50 is no more dead than its predecessor bill, SB 827, which similarly sought to permit multifamily housing near transit lines. Neither the coalition built by the bill’s sponsor, State Senator Scott Weiner, nor the crisis that it aims to address are going away. But if housing reformers are serious about addressing the root causes of the home-voter impulse, they’ll need to plan for contingencies."

Excerpt from Axios -- "Alain Bertaud, author of 'Order without Design' and a professor at New York University, tells Axios that the term 'smart cities' began mostly as a slogan. But over time, its definition has been fungible."

The ASEAN region plays a vital role in spurring economic growth and innovation across several industries both in the region and globally.

Excerpt from Business Insider -- "Trump can get on Xi's good side by asking questions instead of proposing a solution without listening. Susan Stehlik, the director of NYU Stern Business School's management communication program, said Western leaders can fall into the trap of presenting a proposal right at the top of the meeting."

Excerpt from MetroMBA -- “'Healthcare is an incredibly important part of the U.S. and global economy, and even more central to New York City given the hospital systems, pharmaceutical companies, and insurance providers within the broader region. As a result and in line with Stern’s continued push to diversify the opportunity set for our students, this became a priority to make our ambitious goals in the healthcare space something visible and public.'"

Excerpt from the Financial Times -- "New Age Meats is not a conventional MBA recruiter. The San Francisco food start-up, which is developing a technique to grow meat from animal cells, has yet to close its first funding round and has just four people on the payroll. But its first hire was MBA student John Pattison, a former management consultant and US army officer, who joined fresh from his graduation ceremony from NYU’s Stern School of Business in May."

Irrespective of the generation we belong to, we may have certain “ordinary privileges" that others may not have access to."

Excerpt from NPR -- "’Right now I work at a publication that is tailored to professional engineers in all different kinds of fields but that doesn't mean that they're experts necessarily in the field we're writing about. So in a lot of ways, it's also similar to writing for a broader audience, in which you need to define your terms, you need to remove jargon and you need to try to translate these developments in technology and engineering for people who are outside of that specialized field.’”

Excerpt from The Washington Post -- "Tech companies have not clarified their policies for handling deepfakes or more crudely edited and demonstrably false videos, said Michael Posner, the director of New York University Stern Center for Business and Human Rights who researches disinformation."

Excerpt from Crowdfund Insider -- "So very famously, the first block of the Bitcoin blockchain, which was created on January 3, 2009, it has the headline from that morning’s Times of London, that the chancellor’s on the brink of a second bailout for the British banking system. And this is there really to announce to the world that there is a better way and to throw down a challenge to the existing financial system that we are going to put you out of business if you don’t adapt and recognize that there’s a better way to do payments and transfers."

Excerpt from CGTN -- "'Firms are A,B,C – Anywhere But China,' explains Joseph Foudy, a professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business.
