“It’s a pressing issue because more and more of our business today is moving to these platforms,” he says Robert Bray, associate professor of operations at Kellogg. For platform businesses, “disintermediation is the worst possible thing: it is literally a set of [their] customers training another set of customers to exit the system. Once you teach someone to mediate, you may lose them for good.”And while it can be hard to build sympathy for the likes of Uber or Postmates, Bray adds that not every platform business is a venture-backed behemoth. He and colleagues Ekaterina Astashkina and Ruslan Momot (of…
“We’ve moved into a new status quo that’s hard to change,” he says Benjamin Friedrichassociate professor of strategy at the Kellogg School researching labor and personnel economics. Companies that have tried to implement a full return to the office have faced a lot of backlash. “You have to make a really strong case if you want a full return to office, because there’s really strong evidence in favor of hybrid,” he says. So instead of reflexively calling workers back to the office because it’s more convenient for managers, many companies would be wise to focus their efforts on designing and…

The answer of course is that the surgeon is his mother.The setting is used to reveal the hidden prejudices we share about different groups of people, in this case, women. More recently, however, scientific investigations of prejudice have expanded to examine not just a single sociodemographic group by itself—defined by gender, say, or race—but the interaction of multiple, intersecting groups together (e.g., x. defined by gender and race at the same time ).“White, rich women experience a different world than white, poor women. Similarly, black women experience a different world than black men and so on,” she says Tessa Charlesworth,…
School blocking and tracking software has led many kids to install VPNs on their devices.getty It is common practice among most school districts to restrict their students’ access to the Internet to prevent them from browsing porn and “inappropriate” websites — from social media platforms to educational websites about racial identity, mental and reproductive health. And, increasingly, it’s common practice among many kids to use apps that bypass these restrictions so they can view these sites anyway. Today, 1 in 4 American high school students now use solutions to avoid school internet restrictions, which, in addition to blocking websites, can…
“This is just boring,” he says Craig Wortman, clinical professor of marketing at the Kellogg School. For Wortmann, this seemingly boring interaction is an opportunity to be memorable, dynamic and extraordinary. As Wortmann says, “Why be boring when you can be interesting?”But it’s not just about being the “cool kid” in the office. How we talk about ourselves has specific benefits. We could use the opportunity to make an impression in a work meeting, stand out in a job interview, or become the colleague our peers turn to for clarity on issues.In a recent The Insightful Leader Live webinar, Wortmann…

So what happens to all that money?It’s a matter of interest Ata Jamiassistant professor of marketing at Kellogg.”A lot of previous research has looked at the potential benefits of returns to retailers, or what might increase or decrease the likelihood of returns,” says Jami. After all, “retailers don’t like returns,” he says. “They want to sell something and be done with it, but they have to have return policies that actually improve sales.”In other words, much of the existing literature views refunds on the retailer’s side as a problem to be solved—and an important one, given that Americans return close…
