Not long ago, artificial intelligence (AI) was the stuff of science fiction. Now it is changing how consumers eat, sleep, work, play, and even date. A new Journal of Marketing article co-authored by Rebecca Walker Reczek, the Dr. H.

When organizations discuss ways they can improve internal processes, much of their initial focus centers on revamping existing protocols. While short-term results of these changes can lead to positive results, the true measure of success is whether the new processes yield positives in the long term and whether these improvements can be replicated and sustained over time.

A paper by Frederik P. Schlingemann and Rene M. Stulz, the Everett D. Reese Chair of Banking and Monetary Economics, seems to confirm New York Times columnist Paul Krugman's suspicions.

As COVID-19 cases surged this spring, the pandemic led some people more than others to ponder their own mortality. A new study in China and the United States suggests that these people were the ones who showed the highest levels of stress and the least engagement at work. But the research also uncovered a bright spot: The right kind of boss can make a positive difference.

Phil Renaud, executive director of The Risk Institute, runs down the level of risk to supply chains created by relationships with third parties — and relates how a certain type of third party can help to mitigate it.

There's a link between attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), financial stress and suicide risk, suggests a new study by Itzhak Ben-David, the Neil Klatskin Chair in Finance and Real Estate, and his colleagues.

People turn to products viewed as safer in times of a public health crisis, says Rebecca Reczek, the Dr. H. Lee “Buck” Mathews Professor of Marketing. In many cases this aversion to sustainable products is due to perception, she says.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is linked to higher levels of financial distress in adults – and a fourfold higher risk of suicide for those with the most debt, according to a large population study conducted by Ohio State researchers, including Itzhak Ben-David, the Neil Klatskin Chair in Finance and Real Estate.

According to a recent study published in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, there’s a reason why we tend to cheer for one person instead of a team. Researchers, including Fisher's Jesse Walker, found that people were more invested in the success of one athlete — in this case, Usain Bolt — as opposed to the success of his team.

People enjoy witnessing extraordinary individuals – from athletes to CEOs – extend long runs of dominance in their fields, a new study suggests. But they aren’t as interested in seeing similar streaks of success by teams or groups. “Everyone wants Usain Bolt to win another gold medal for sprinting. Not so many people want to see the New England Patriots win another Super Bowl,” said Jesse Walker, lead author of the study and an assistant professor of marketing.

The trend to passive investing has led to a dramatic increase in the share of assets concentrated in the hands of a few large institutional fund companies. Research by Itzhak Ben-David, the Neil Klatskin Chair in Finance and Real Estate, and his colleagues concluded that “ownership by large institutions is associated with higher stock price volatility, autocorrelation in returns (a measure of price inefficiency), and a greater magnitude of price drops at times of market stress (a measure of price fragility).”
