Mahmud Hassan, PhD, MBA, a healthcare economist at Rutgers University in New Jersey, acknowledged the growing fears in the U.S. about the quality of prescription drugs and said Valisure's approach could be a timely strategy to allay those concerns.
"People are scared, nowadays, of drugs coming from China, India. There's a bad record there," Hassan told MedPage Today. "This country needs a much safer method of getting drug supplies. I think safety is a good strategy, and [hospital systems] may give this a shot, if this will increase trust in the market."

Sometimes, we forget how far we have come, and the level of impact women are now able to have on everything from social norms to commerce, to politics and beyond. This Sunday, March 8, is International Women's Day, and holidays like these are wonderful opportunities to reflect on all the amazing work being done by women all over the world.
For me, there have been a number of women who have positively influenced my life, career, and personal growth. I am a big believer in mentorship, yes, but more important, just surrounding yourself with people who can pass along valuable life lessons just by being who they are. I have learned a lot from women in my community, in our company, and in my extended network.
When I was an investment banking analyst (long before I co-founded ThirdLove), I had this manager at Bank of America, which was where I worked. Her name was Lisa. There I was, fresh out of college and very uncertain about where I wanted to take my career, and Lisa was helpful in a way I didn't know I needed at the time.

Coronavirus fears and plummeting oil prices spooked investors Monday morning, triggering a 7% drop — which triggered a previously unused financial instrument that brought trading to a standstill for 15 minutes. The pause, known as a circuit breaker or trading curb, is a Securities and Exchange Commission mechanism based on percentage drops in the value of the S&P 500 Index.
The curb, which is designed to prevent panic-selling, was set off Monday for the first time. The S&P closed at 2,745.90 on Monday, down 7.62%, as the market flirted with bear-market territory.
“Circuit breakers are designed for the market to pause and think about what it’s doing,” said Dan Weaver, a finance professor at Rutgers Business School. “We’ve never had it before.”

These students are enrolled in a Master of Business Administration (MBA) or Master of Public Administration program at their home university.

Are the easiest credit cards to get necessarily the worst credit cards on the market?
A statement like this tends to be too general for my absolute evaluation of credit card offerings. The term worst most likely reflects the interest charged but that is really just one criteria upon which to judge. Some cards are connected to organizations or other worthy causes and these may be easy for members of those organizations for example. Finally, different cards have different credit requirements and repay requirements, and the choices often incorporate a variety of options to appeal to a wider potential audience whose members bring different requirements as well.

“China is the world’s plant; most everything, at some point, is either made in China or has parts that go into that are made in China,” says Rudolf Leuschner, an associate professor of supply chain management at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J. “The world’s supply chain is so interconnected, it doesn’t need to be the actual item you are buying that’s affected” for the impact to be felt.
And, he continues, it’s already becoming an issue, as some suppliers aren’t able to get the merchandise they need. “Pharmaceuticals is one of those areas I’m most concerned about,” he says because some raw ingredients needed for specific medicines are produced in China, and “we don’t have the capacity to build them.”

“If their direct materials don’t come from China but the parts do,” they will be affected, he said. “That effect is going to get worse for a while until everything sorts itself out.”

Stocks tumbled this week on fears over what’s next with the coronavirus outbreak. On Friday, some analysts said the market was overreacting, but investors remain on edge.
Rutgers University [Rutgers Business School] Associate Professor Mark Castelino says given the world population, the number of people diagnosed with the virus is not an overwhelming number. “So when you put this in perspective, I don’t know why the stock market is reacting the way it is, because the numbers are so small,” said Castelino.

Our findings show that the identity of the political party making these judicial appointments does matter. In corporate prosecutions, the average fine imposed on companies can vary considerably depending on the political affiliation of the assigned judge and the underlying crime. In particular, cases randomly assigned to Democrat-appointed judges have fines that are, on average, 184 percent larger if the underlying crime involves violating labor or environmental regulations and 91 percent smaller if related to violating immigration laws. The difference in fines imposed across these different types of crime conforms to the typical priorities associated with each political party. These differences in fines across Republican and Democratic judges are even more significant during time periods of greater partisan polarization and are not driven by other judge-level characteristics—such as race, age, and experience—that might be correlated with a judge’s political affiliation.

If Milton Friedman’s concern was the deleterious effect on the corporation of imposing social agendas on it, Mr. Ramaswamy’s concern is precisely the opposite: the effect on the state of corporations embracing social agendas. Businesses and governments operate in separate spheres, something akin to church and state. It’s when one side tries to operate on the other’s turf that we run into trouble.

Business schools increasingly acknowledge that a wider range of perspectives enriches learning through group discussion, and helps prepare students to lead diverse teams. Corporate recruiters have also raised pressure on schools to enrol people from a broader array of socio-economic backgrounds, recognising the benefits of a diverse workforce.
Thirty-eight per cent of online MBA students who enrolled in the 2019 calendar year are first-generation college students, compared with approximately 10 per cent of the full-time MBA class. They are less likely to have family members who work in professions such as banking or consulting, which recruit heavily from MBA intakes, says Prof Lei Lei, dean of Rutgers Business School. Family ties can help students land jobs, so in 2018 Rutgers launched a mentoring programme to replicate them. Executives help MBA students improve their confidence, résumés and interview skills.

The Civil Rights Movement was made up of a broad coalition of civic groups, student activists, labor and religious organizations. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who advocated non-violent protest was the symbolic leader — its primary spokesperson – the face of the movement. The Movement advocated for the end to racial discrimination in state and federal laws. Its efforts resulted in, among other things, the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1963, the most comprehensive civil rights measure ever passed and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Dr. King and the movement’s impact on the nation ’s conscience is without parallel. It is little wonder that a federal holiday honoring Dr. King was first proposed four days after his assassination in 1968.
The establishment of Martin Luther King’s birthday as a national holiday did not happen immediately or easily; it required sustained herculean efforts.

Finding balance between the benefits of staying connected and being distracted by our devices can be tricky.
Consider the 2,600 times we touch our phones every day, our panic when we temporarily misplace a device, the experience of “phantom vibration syndrome” and how merely seeing a message alert can be as distracting as checking the message itself.
So how do we avoid the potential pitfalls while still reaping the benefits?

Nowadays, trust is disconcertingly low. Hollywood has been upended by the #MeToo movement and the fall of Harvey Weinstein; from Fox News to Facebook, the media is under fire for fake news and filter bubbles; and the rise of Trump, Brexit and other nationalist movements are highlighting political polarization. They may seem like unrelated issues but all are part of a larger undercurrent.
Researchers have pointed to the important role trust plays in the health of democracy. Trust has been identified as a crucial component of “political orientation” – a willingness to engage in the political process. Historically, it has been high in stable democracies. Research shows a link between democracy and trust, one that is also interconnected with life satisfaction.

Peter Methot, Associate Dean, Executive Education at Rutgers Business School
“I predict that the macro trend in executive and professional education for 2020 and beyond is the shift to meet a wider and deeper need of continuous learning (or, Lifelong Learning). For decades, we have seen the divide between formal learning in degrees earned through undergraduate and graduate programs and the informal experiences gained through non-degree certificate programs. But with the pace of change and the need for learners to manage continuous learning throughout their careers, the stacking and integration of these opportunities is being thrust on educational partners to be more learner-centric and build ecosystems of relevant learning to support their various career journeys.

Finalists on the South and West sides were announced today for a prize from a foundation headed by Penny Pritzker and her husband, Bryan Traubert.
What the finalists had in common was that they “had enough ambition to be exciting but enough meat on the bone to be real and not just dreaming,” Lyneir Richardson, one of 67 people who served as expert reviewers of the proposals, told Crain’s ahead of the announcement. Richardson, CEO of Chicago Trend, neighborhood-based retail development effort funded by the MacArthur Foundation, heads the Center for Urban Entrepreneurship & Economic Development at Rutgers Business School in New Jersey.

Pharmaceutical companies face economic and political challenges in 2020
Consumers are frustrated over high drug prices, but the real problem isn’t necessarily greedy pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, insurers, or pharmacy benefit managers, said Gary Branning, an assistant professor of Professional Practice at Rutgers Business School. Instead, he argues, “it’s misaligned incentives.” “The central challenge facing the U.S. health care system is the motivation of stakeholders to earn a profit, as a result of the misaligned incentives among health care stakeholders,” Branning — who’s also president of Managed Market Resources, a health care consulting and medical communications company — wrote in an article for Am Health Drug Benefits, a trade publication. “Each stakeholder has different profit motivations that drive up the overall costs of health care.”

One of the topics Gabriela Tonietto, an assistant professor of marketing at Rutgers Business School, researches is leisure. What we can do to make that time more enjoyable, and what happens when we push aside leisure time in an attempt to be more productive?
There’s a saying — you study what you’re not good at. I don’t know if that is accurate for me, but it is something that we all struggle with. That’s especially true if you’re a woman and there’s plenty of research to show that. I became interested in what are the strategies to be better at leisure, and in the questions of: Should we be happier? And if yes, why aren’t we?

Rutgers University management professor Oliver Sheldon, who has studied unethical behaviour, says there are different theories that could explain why parents, with seemingly all the advantages of the world, might behave this way.
Sheldon cited a 2012 joint study by researchers at UC Berkeley and the University of Toronto that found upper-class individuals behave more unethically than those in lower classes.
