    For centuries, work was regarded as nothing but toil – a requirement for earning one's daily bread. But in recent decades, expectations about work have been transformed as has its very nature. While it still provides one's daily bread, it is also regarded as a major opportunity for people to find purpose, meaning, and happiness in their lives. In this course, students study the latest research on what makes people happy at work, on how happiness at work improves the quality of work, on how people and organizations develop wisdom, and on what makes a career not just successful but meaningful. We will also discuss some of the impediments – both individual and organizational to doing meaningful and satisfying work.

    Finance theory has long relied on a descriptively sparse model of behavior based on the premise that investors and managers are rational Another critical assumption is that misjudgments by investors and managers are penalized swiftly in competitive markets In recent years both assumptions have been questioned as the standard model fails to account for various aspects of actual markets Behavioral finance which allows that investors and managers are not always rational and may make systematic errors of judgment that affect market prices has emerged as a credible alternative to the standard model This course provides an exposition of the insights and implications of behavioral finance theory showing how it can explain otherwise puzzling features of asset prices and corporate finance Notwithstanding the inroads of the new theory the standard model retains strong support amongst many academics practitioners who make criticisms of behavioral finance that deserve serious consideration An important challenge that we will address in this course is identifying the respective domains of each perspective and whether there are tradable opportunities

    Course Description:

    Becoming a better leader is not a passive process. Adults learn far more through experience -- through acting and reflecting -- than they learn from the advice of others. As such, the Leadership Fellows curriculum is heavily focused on practice. Fellows will practice working through difficult workplace scenarios with professional role players, be given the opportunity to reflect on their behavior, and provide / receive feedback from their cohort members. Further, they will be afforded the opportunity to test their learning by repeating the experience. The purpose of this practice is to position students as leaders within their organizations after Stern. By practicing and experiencing the emotions and rushing thoughts that arise under pressure, students will rise to the occasion, carry themselves with greater confidence and purpose, and be seen as people who are seasoned beyond their years.

    Developing and repairing trust are critical parts of all successful business relationships with clients, direct reports, bosses, and others. Research shows that teams with a high level of trust perform better, recover from setbacks more readily, and even have superior health outcomes.

Through readings, videos, in-class discussions, analysis of past relationships, and the planning and practice of real-life reparative conversations, you will learn to: 1) Identify the elements of a relationship that build or harm trust, and the associated behaviors used to build strong teams; 2) Apply the knowledge, skills, mindsets, and frameworks to lead reparative conversations with individuals and groups; and 3) Increase your ability to assess trust levels and make informed decisions about the best way to move forward. Regardless of your starting point, Reparative Conversations will empower you to better manage the cycle of building, maintaining, and repairing trust, as well as creating more resilient relationships.

    Course Description:

    How do you negotiate with many parties? With Godzilla? With other organizations? High stakes? Multiple issues? How do you build a consensus everyone's committed to? How do you act as an agent with constituents and mandates? Deal with talks in the public eye? In short, how do you negotiate corporate life, where things are more challenging than simple one-on-one transactions? In this hands-on, practical continuation of Collaboration, Conflict & Negotiation (CCN), students do a series of increasingly difficult negotiation simulations that help them gain new tools and principles for dealing with the harder talks that happen in corporate life. Students learn to handle multi-party talks, ready for talks with a host of issues using a 'playcard' that gives them 'glance and go' guidance, and deal with highly intimidating counterparts, in part by learning to 'war game.' They also learn to resolve conflicts well even when they have too much responsibility and not enough authority, handle the complex diplomatic challenges of talks between groups and firms, and more. In a capstone simulation, students handle a complex, high-stakes, high-stress, deal on video and then, like athletes, review the tape to discover hidden weaknesses and strengths. CCN is the only pre-requisite. The course complements other Advanced Topics in Negotiation courses and Negotiating Complex Transactions with Executives & Lawyers, which can be taken concurrently or in any order.

    Course Description:

    The digital economy has grown rapidly since the 90s, but until the last few years, its major impact was focused on a few verticals (e.g., media, retail, travel).

Three critical frameworks underlie the structure of the proposed course: 1.Value Development and Delivery: Device, Content, Curation and Distribution. This framework explores how to develop and sustain a profitable digital business across the digital value chain. 2.Consumer Journey: Interest, Engagement, Becoming a customer, sustainable monetization. Explores the customer lifecycle and how to maximize total profitability (# of customers and profit per customer) over their full lifecycle vs. just looking at point transactions ROI. 3.Marketing measurement: Online micro measurement, Total Media Mix Measurement, Online/Offline micro attribution. Going beyond current media mix models to understand how to measure and manage marketing's impact on sales and profitability.

    Course Description:

    Databases are ubiquitous in all businesses and hold significant information about the business. Every data analysis and report typically starts with an SQL query, as SQL is the lingua franca of all database systems. Therefore, SQL is necessary for anyone who needs to analyze data as part of their job. Many tech companies consider the knowledge of SQL a prerequisite for all their analysts and managers. This database class is designed for absolute beginners and teaches students how databases are structured and how to write SQL queries that retrieve data from a database. The class is heavily hands-on, focusing on developing the necessary skills for writing SQL queries. We will cover the following topics: Basics of Entity-Relationship model, and the connection to databases USE, DESCRIBE queries, to understand the structure of a database Selection queries: *, column, column AS, DISTINCT, ORDER BY, LIMIT Filtering data using "where": Boolean conditions, IN, BETWEEN, LIKE Join queries: Inner and Outer joins, self-joins Aggregation queries: GROUP BY, SUM, AVG, MAX, MIN, etc Subqueries Window queries (if time allows) After this course, students will be able to navigate relational databases, issue queries against databases in an organization, and generate data that can be used for analyses and reports. This course is the first half of the traditional 3cr. version of Dealing with Data (TECH-GB 2346). Students who took TECH-GB 2346 should not take this course.
