16 GIU 2021 · The power of voice is something we seldom think about. Yet voice is ubiquitous and can be extremely effective, as podcast listeners know very well. What makes speech unique, compared with images? What chords does it strike? And how can we harness the power of voice? Kurt Munz, assistant professor of marketing at Bocconi, unfolds for us the meaning of "auditory information processing" starting from his own experience as an officer in the US Navy.
9 GIU 2021 · The extent of climate change if not its very existence is a hotly contested topic. Scientists though have little doubt that this is happening now, and that action is urgently required. Economists are definitely doing their part, since a changing climate is bound to have a huge impact on world economy. But the effort towards limiting the damage is also a cost, which governments are reluctant to bear as the benefit is so hard to measure. Hear podcast host David Wayne Callahan as he talks to Valentina Bosetti, professor of environmental and climate change economics at Bocconi, about the challenges we face and will be facing if too little is done.
1 GIU 2021 · We all know that the so-called "glass ceiling" is still very real. Some progress notwithstanding, women are still generally underrepresented and underpaid. Paola Profeta, who teaches Public Economics at Bocconi University where she also leads the AXA Research Lab on Gender Equality, talks about what empirical evidence there is about policies that may help reduce the gender gap. The Covid crisis also shed light on the priorities set by women leaders and preliminary results seem to confirm that women at the top were indeed more successful than men at handling the pandemic. Finally, we should not overlook the fact that diversity has many dimensions, and equality must be sought on all of them.
26 MAG 2021 · Resilience, usually defined as the ability to bounce back to the previous state after a shock, can be more accurately described as a process by which an organisation weathers a stressful event not just by returning to its original form but improving itself in a sort of dynamic adaptation close to the evolution of natural species.
But what are the mental processes that enable this approach? Can we identify a "resilient mindset"?
With Carlo Salvato, professor of business strategy at Bocconi.
19 MAG 2021 · Globalization seemed poised to rule the world. Instead, it is now under attack by various protectionist and populist forces. We are therefore bound to accept that it was not unavoidable and it is not irreversible, as it is a political choice as opposed to a necessary historical process. Were people promised something that could not be delivered? Is the anger justified? Gianmarco Ottaviano, who holds the Achille and Giulia Boroli chair of European Studies at Bocconi, also addresses the effects of the pandemic and Brexit on globalization and the longstanding issue of whether automation kills jobs.
12 MAG 2021 · What exactly is a “tax haven”? How does money end up in such a place, and how can it do so undetected? This merits a whole field of study, as we find out in this captivating podcast. With Hannes Wagner, Associate Professor of Finance at Bocconi.
5 MAG 2021 · Companies are increasingly keen on disclosing information about the responsible use of resources they make and in general about the sustainability of their operations. This is by no means just a marketing stunt, as stakeholders often take decisions based on this kind of information. For this reason, even non-financial data must be credible and transparent.
Ariela Caglio, associate professor of Management Accounting at Bocconi, tells us how accounting is so much more than bookkeeping.
28 APR 2021 · Artificial intelligence has been the stuff of science fiction for a long time. But what does “Artificial Intelligence” actually mean in today’s world? Do we really face a future in which machines may turn on us? With Riccardo Zecchina, Vodafone professor of Machine Learning and Data Science at Bocconi.
21 APR 2021 · How did Brexit happen? Why have negotiations with the European Union been so bumpy? And, more importantly, can either party claim to have had the upper hand? Eleanor Spaventa, professor of European Union law at Bocconi, lines up the facts and provides a rare balanced view on such a hotly contested topic.
14 APR 2021 · With Alfonso Gambardella, head of the Department of Management and Technology at Bocconi.
Entrepreneurs who behave like scientists achieve better results. Success in business is all about having the right intuition and making good predictions, and you get the best predictions if you adopt a scientific approach.
