Emotional Decision Making
is Good for Business -- and Your Bottom Line
|
|
|
Growing up, we quickly realize that emotions
have no place in the office. In fact, you were likely
encouraged to ignore your feelings in favor of more
"logical and analytical behavior." However, according
to Myeong-Gu Seo, an assistant professor of management
and organization at the Smith School, people who are
able to more accurately describe their feelings performed
better in stock investing. Find out how understanding
emotions can translate in to dollars and cents in your
pocket. |

Think eBay's Online Feedback
is Keeping You Safe? Think Again
|
|
|
Online feedback mechanisms have become an important
tool for consumers to gauge the relative risk of dealing
with people they may never meet in person. But relying
on these online mechanisms may leave us misinformed,
as customers only see what people are willing to report.
Chrysanthos Dellarocas, an associate professor of information
systems at the Smith School, allows users of bidirectional
feedback mechanisms to see a more reliable picture of
what is happening in private transactions by taking
into account the response that never gets posted --
silence. |

Finally: Predictability
in the Stock Market
|
|
|
Recent Smith School research by Associate Professor
of Finance Steve Heston is the first to show evidence
of seasonality in one stock relative to other stocks.
In a forthcoming paper Heston models a permanent seasonal
effect of expected returns that is tied to the month
of the year. Now, it may be possible to design an investment
strategy that captures the benefits of seasonal variation.
