News from Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management
“In her dissenting opinion on a landmark 2018 Supreme Court case with major consequences for organized labor, Justice Elena Kagan pulled no punches.
“The Court’s conservative-leaning faction — composed of Justices Alito, Roberts, Kennedy, Thomas, and Gorsuch — had overruled a long-held precedent ‘for no exceptional or special reason, but because it never liked the decision,’ she argued. ‘It has overruled [the precedent case] because it wanted to.’
“Reading that opinion, Jörg Spenkuch, an associate professor of managerial economics and decision sciences at Kellogg, thought that it might hold the answer to a long-standing puzzle about the Court.”
How Companies Benefit From Corporate Social Responsibility
News from Northwestern Kellogg
“Corporate social responsibility has been a buzzword for a while. And it’s not hard to see how communities stand to benefit when firms are serious about CSR — be it by participating in a clean water campaign or having a large philanthropic presence.
“But what about the firms themselves? How does doing good affect their bottom line? Here, Kellogg faculty share research and perspectives on how companies can also benefit from engaging in socially responsible activities.”

How These Leading CEOs Are Tackling Gender Inequality
News from INSEAD
“Gender inequality in the workplace is an enduring problem. Many organisations are trying to find new ways to open doors to women’s advancement. But women often continue to feel that they don’t belong in male-dominated sectors or management ranks, which limits their willingness to walk through those doors. This is often driven by harmful social norms and stereotypes that are deeply ingrained.
“Recent research by INSEAD Professors Maria Guadalupe and Lucia Del Carpio shows that if organisations can address this perception head on when communicating about job posts, they can change this willingness. This can have a transformative impact on the potential of women in realms they previously might not have even attempted to enter.”

The 3 Principles Of Wise Power
News from INSEAD
“One of today’s damaging and common leadership misconceptions is the confusion of power with external control. All too often, we think of power as the ability to direct or influence the behaviour of others, or to force the course of events to conform to a predetermined scheme.
“But there is an equally necessary kind of power, which is exerted inwardly. It turns out that power is as much about the ability to adapt to the world around us as it is about shaping the world. As the global business landscape becomes increasingly complex, our ability to develop our presence and gravitas has become an indispensable companion of authority.”

Does Free Flow Of Capital Make The Economy More Efficient?
News from MIT Sloan School of Management
“David Thesmar is an MIT professor who studies the growing influence of the financial sector over large economies. But here’s another way of summarizing his work: Thesmar is a scholar of the turbulence these changes have created.
“’My main research topic is the anatomy of financialization,’ says Thesmar, ‘and how the contractual arrangements that get made in the financial sector trickle down to the rest of the economy.’
“By that, Thesmar means he studies the consequences of the global wave of financial development since the 1980s. This ‘financial deepening,’ as he puts it, came from a combination of deregulation and technological change; it led to the emergence of hedge funds, private equity funds, the promotion of shareholder value maximization, and deeper and more liquid stock markets.”
