Law & Ethics: Richard C. Powers: Rotman MBA...
Richard Powers lectured on Canadian legal systems, contract law, tort law and finally ethics. It was a thorough overview with some cases that allowed for break-out small group and class discussion. The conversation on ethics was interesting. Prof. Powers suggested that corporate ethics could be looked at as a continuum with CSR (corporate social responsibility) on one end and legal on the other. I...

danah boyd:
Widespread celebritization is the flipside of the “attention economy” coin and I think that we have a lot of deep thinking to do about the implications of both of these. Both are already rattling society in unexpected ways and I’m not convinced that we have the social, psychological, or cultural infrastructure to manage what will unfold. Some people will become famous or rich. Others...
Special Topics in Strategy with Ajay Agrawal:...
Ajay Agrawal lectured about increasing returns, the network effect and the Innovator’s Dilemma:
Increasing Returns are salient right now as so many industries are integrating what they do with social media, which adds a layer to immediately create the network effect. It matters who else is in that network. We see extreme competition (winner take all markets) if you win, you win big share....

Frequently I don’t realize how interesting an idea is until I find myself repeating it six months later. That’s the case with this post by Mike Monteiro about calendar design. In it he argues that the whole idea of scheduling meetings for people based on the availability in their calendar drives a very bad behavior, mainly assuming that just because something...

Social Media Impact Takes Awhile to Gauge Published on KDPaine’s PR Measurement Blog |
The reality is buried in the data. Two datapoints struck me. First of all, everything is more effective in tandem. Integrated marketing strategies are more effective than a single tactic alone. DUH! It’s amazing how long we’ve been talking about that, and how often it has been said of late....

The Accounting Art of War with Ramy Elitzur:...
Cross-posted from the CWC blog
By Thursday of last week, I was burned out on long hours and greatly in need of my extended long weekend. I didn’t do any advance prep for class, so heading into the lecture on Thursday, the last thing I expected was that Prof. Ramy Elitzur’s “Accounting” lecture was going to include a game theory-influenced analysis of the manipulation of financial statements.

Management What do bosses do all day? The shocking truth can at last be revealed THANKS to closed doors and fierce gatekeepers, bosses are tricky to observe in their natural habitat.

From the report:
With respect to online tracking, profiling and targeting, we heard primarily about the privacy issues related to behavioural advertising: what it is, what the benefits are, what risks to privacy exist, and what self-regulatory measures are in place.
