If work is a product, and employees are customers of that product, then every company is a multi-sided business, one that must serve both consumers and workers. According to platform economist Andrei Hagiu, how companies design that experience, how they structure control, pricing, and participation, matters more than we realize. He has spent his career studying the world's most influential platforms, from Uber and Airbnb to Apple and Amazon.

It was on the first day of Taiwan's four day Tomb Sweeping (清明) Festival weekend that businessmen woke up to the news that Taiwan could expect a 32 percent%, on top of a standard 10% tariff on all its exports to the United States. But just hours after it took effect, that immense tariff was suspended for 90 days. How some businesses responded to the first announcement, and what it should do with the grace period is the subject of much discussion.

In this episode of Ruled by Reason, guest host Leslie Marx, the Robert A. Bandeen Distinguished Professor of Economics at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business, sits down with Professor Florian Ederer to discuss his award-winning article, Common Ownership, Competition, and Top Management Incentives, 131 J. Pol. Econ 1294 (2023). Professor Ederer is the Allen and Kelli Questrom Professor in Markets, Public Policy & Law at Boston University's Questrom School of Business. His article, co-authored with Professors Miguel Antón and Mireia Giné of the IESE Business School and Martin Schmalz of the University of Oxford Saïd Business School, won the 22nd Annual Jerry S. Cohen Memorial Fund Writing Award, presented on May 22 at AAI's 2024 Annual Policy Conference,  New Thinking on the Antitrust Treatment of Collective Action: Organized Labor, Countervailing Power, and Algorithmic Price Setting. The article helps explain the existing empirical evidence on the anticompetitive effects of common ownership and meaningfully advances our understanding of the underlying theory behind the effects. Among other things, Professor Marx and Professor Ederer discuss the theoretical and empirical background behind the theory of anticompetitive effects from common ownership (5:06), the mechanism by which common ownership actually leads to anticompetitive effects, notwithstanding that top managers and their delegees (rather than investors) control firms (12:13), and the implications of these findings for enforcers, policymakers, and future research (26:09). Antitrust scholarship that is considered and selected for the Jerry S. Cohen Award reflects a concern for principles of economic justice, the dispersal of economic power, the maintenance of effective limitations upon economic power or the federal statutes designed to protect society from various forms of anticompetitive activity. Scholarship reflects an awareness of the human and social impacts of economic institutions upon individuals, small businesses and other institutions necessary to the maintenance of a just and humane society–values and concerns Jerry S. Cohen dedicated his life and work to fostering.

In this episode, we talk with Michel Anteby about access. In particular, the resistance that field workers may face and how such a process may, in reality, offer invaluable insights into the social world being studied. In our conversation, Michel elaborates on the challenges and promises of research settings that may be hard to access, reflects on the ethical limits of fieldwork, and shares tips about selecting and immersing oneself in the culture of occupational groups and organizations. Michel Anteby is a Professor of Management & Organizations at Boston University's Questrom School of Business and (by courtesy) Sociology at Boston University's College of Arts and Sciences. He also co-leads Boston University's Precarity Lab. Michel's research looks at how individuals relate to their work, their occupations, and the organizations they belong to. He examines the practices people engage in at work that help them sustain their chosen cultures or identities. In doing so, his research contributes to a better understanding of how these cultures and identities come to be and manifest themselves. Studied populations have included airport security officers, anesthesiologists, clinical anatomists, factory craftsmen, ghostwriters, puppeteers, and subway drivers.Further information:Anteby, M.

Hutch Hutchinson, a senior lecturer at the Questrom School of Business, shares his journey in experiential education and the historical context of outdoor education. He discusses the impact of industrial education, the role of associations like AEE, and the future of experiential education in a changing world.     Takeaways; Experiential education has a rich historical context that predates the industrial education model and is rooted in the philosophy of student-centered learning. Associations like AEE provide a diverse and enriching platform for experiential educators to learn and grow, offering a wide range of perspectives and expertise. The future of education will require a focus on trauma-informed teaching, empathy, and personal connection, all of which are inherent in experiential education. Mentorship and networking are essential for emerging professionals in the field of experiential education, providing guidance and diverse perspectives for career development.

For many, access to the banking system is an important component of upward mobility. Loans, savings accounts, credit cards–these are all part of a financial system that, when used strategically, can help establish financial stability or undergird entrepreneurial activity. But there are barriers to accessing the banking system for those on society's margins, including in some immigrant communities, where many are unbanked or underbanked. To explore these issues, we speak with Dr. Jay Zagorsky, clinical associate professor of markets, public policy, and law at Boston University's Questrom School of Business and Dr. Dina Refki, executive director of the Institute on Immigrant Integration Research and Policy. The conversation details the challenges and consequences of being unbanked and underbanked as an immigrant and highlights potential policy solutions for improving the financial options available to these communities.

Trader Joe's mini canvas tote is the latest item to cause a stir on social media, so much so that resellers are taking advantage of the hype. The mini totes are offered in four colors — blue, red, green, and yellow — and they are all in high demand. The bags, retailing for $2.99, are now advertised on platforms like eBay and Facebook Marketplace for many times their original price. Offers from third-party sellers range significantly, with listings ranging from about $20 for a single bag to as high as $999 for a set of four. Videos shared on social media show crowds of customers visiting Trader Joe's stores hoping to get their hands on one of the highly-coveted mini totes. Beyond the checkout line, TikTokers have gained tens of thousands of views for sharing and customizing their bags with detail paint, buttons, and embroidery designs. “Our Mini Canvas Tote Bags certainly sold more quickly than we anticipated,” said Nakia Rohde, a spokesperson for Trader Joe's. “Before we had the opportunity to promote them in any way, customers across the country found them at their neighborhood Trader Joe's.” While Trader Joe's is no stranger to having its products go viral, the Monrovia, California-based grocery chain also said it does not condone the reselling of its products—with Rohde stressing that “our customers, in our stores, are our focus.” Exclusivity and limited supply are always key factors impacting both prices and consumer behavior. Beyond the added influence of the internet, that's previously been displayed in demand for products ranging from the scarcity of Huy Fong Foods' Sriracha to empty toilet paper shelves seen at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. “We as humans seem to hoard things that social media makes us think is desirable or important,” Jay Zagorsky, a clinical associate professor at Boston University's Questrom School of Business, told The Associated Press via email. He added that such bulk buying—whether it's Trader Joe's mini totes or COVID-era toilet paper—can also help consumers feel more secure, as future availability may be uncertain.

Sameer Samana, senior global market strategist at the Wells Fargo Investment Institute, says that the market's recent rally appears to have run out of steam, requiring "a little bit of a breather" before the market makes more real upward progress. He expects a 5 to 10 percent pullback, with Standard & Poor's 500 using the 5,000 level as its new support level and the uptrend only being threatened if the sell-off pushes it below 4,600.

This week on the BrainTap Business Journal Podcast, Dr. Porter was happy to sit down with Suzanne Finder of MindfulSuccess. Suzanne is an interfaith minister, spiritual counselor & neuropsychology educator who helps individuals with chronic physical and emotional challenges. Many of her clients come to her feeling trapped and hopeless, having “tried everything” with very few results. Suzanne and her team at MindfulSuccess provide newfound hope and a way to heal by addressing the nervous system—an approach traditional and functional medicine typically overlook. Suzanne is graduate of Boston University's Questrom School of Management and began a career in marketing and advertising sales in New York, consistently earning President's Club (top 10% producer) awards and a 6-figure income. Despite these achievements and 20 years of psychotherapy, her ongoing struggle with PTSD, anxiety, depression, autoimmunity - and under it all - a deep-seated sense of unworthiness – persisted. In a quest to heal herself, Suzanne left the corporate world and became a certified Guiding Mindful Change coach in 2007. She has since been certified in numerous modalities including The Safe and Sound Protocol. Today the focus of her expanding counseling practice, MindfulSuccess, is the restoration of safety. First, through body physiology, and then through the repatterning of non-conscious threat/defense responses into ones that promote health, growth and restoration. MindfulSuccess is seeing unmatched results as clients find connection, safety, trust, healing and hope. What You'll Learn: • When we're easily triggered into fight/flight (stressed, agitated, angry) or freeze (depression, isolation, shame) we now know these are nervous system calls for help. • Why thinking our way out of a “feeling problem” always leads to lousy results • How the root of all chronic illness can be traced to chronic threat/defense patterns in the nervous system • Physiological safety and trust are required for healing, and how we are naturally wired to heal. • How the smallest muscle in the body can help reset the nervous system. • The value of nervous system pre-hab (foundation for healing) before the rehab (such as Brain-Tap) Links: www.mindfulsuccess.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzannefinder/ https://www.facebook.com/suzannefinder/ twitter: @suzannefinder https://www.instagram.com/_mindfulsuccess/ Offer for our Audience: Free Guide to Getting Unstuck and Healing (and complimentary consultation) www.MindfulSuccess.com.

“I skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been.” – Wayne GretzkyWhen Andrei Hagiu wrote a Harvard Business Review case study on AppDirect, he used this quote from Canadian hockey legend Wayne Gretzky to show the mindset each founder should have before starting their company. Andrei is an expert in platform strategy and started a career in academics as an Associate Professor at Harvard Business School, as well as at MIT Sloan. Andrei's research and teaching focus entirely on platform businesses (e.g., Airbnb, Amazon.com, Facebook, etc.) and their unique strategic challenges. Today, Andrei is an Associate Professor of Information Systems at Boston University's Questrom School of Business. In today's episode, Andrei talks about the difference between virality and network effect, how to create a successful, multi-sided platform business, and the future of Web3's decentralized platforms. Press play to hear Andrei's thoughts on…Making your platform user-friendly"You want to make it very easy for individual users to adopt it, right? That's the key because it matters to you to have a lot of users, and then it's easier from there to actually become a platform later on." The difference between virality and network effect"Virality just means...if you do a marketing campaign and your customers tell other customers about your product, it's of course a very useful tool. But that doesn't mean that your product all of a sudden has network effect. Network effect is basically my willingness to pay us higher for this particular platform or product if there are other customers on this platform."Creating a healthy relationship between buyers and sellers"Make it easier for you to transact with them, which in itself is an insurance against leakage, right? If all you're doing is making it easier for buyers and sellers to find each other, why would they come back to you once they found each other?"

In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about negotiation. While many of us understand the basic skills involved in negotiations, our ability to practice these skills can be undermined by fear, self-doubt and limiting beliefs.

Have you ever had to go into conversation where you needed to advocate for yourself and really feel like you weren't coming from a position of power? Learn how to calm anxiety, and regain your negotiating power. For most people, anxiety is a fear or concern about the future. And having that anxiety going into any negotiation can really feel like a loss of power. But emotions are a normal part of negotiation, and you can use them to your advantage. Moshe Cohen teaches the next generation of business leaders how to engage in effective negotiations as a senior lecturer at Boston University's Questrom School of Business. And he wrote the book “Collywobbles: How to Negotiate When Negotiating Makes You Nervous.” He speaks to Morra Aarons-Mele about how to approach negotiating when you are prone to anxiety - and what to do when you recognize anxiety across the bargaining table.

Continuing the conversation about the Market, Steven is joined by Andrew Westling of Walker Dunlop.  In this episode, they dive into the Walker Dunlop perspective of what is happening in the debt and equity market today.  If you have been feeling apprehensive about whether you should get back into the market now or later, then you are not going to want to miss this episode. Key TakeawaysWhen times are tumultuous, and there is volatility, it always means that there's opportunity. It's also a great time for first-time or less experienced investors to enter the marketplace.Multifamily assets are still being bought and are being considered as an asset class that is less risky than the rest of the real estate industry.There has not been much cap rate inflation as people are still buying multifamily and investing more equity as they are feeling it is safe.With higher mortgage rates, the number of qualified renters continues to increase. Opportunities in smaller markets are there however it will require more capital to be brought in to convince lenders to take additional risk. There are fewer buyers out there right now so it's an opportunity for buyers to maybe get a little bit of a break compared to what has been seen, especially over the last three to five years.The trade-off today is you might be able to get a slight discount on a property in a tier one market that's going to appreciate over the long term in exchange for giving up some of that cash flow short term.About the Guest: Andrew N.
