Welcome to the 2018 Spotlight on Research Report of the Schulich School of Business TH

EDITION

It is with great pride and a thorough sense of achievement that we present the 2018 Spotlight on Research Report of the Schulich School of Business.

Through this Report, we offer a glimpse of Schulich’s faculty research to our stakeholders, which include our students, other academics globally, worldwide alumni community, granting agencies, and our generous donors. After all, one of the features that makes a school of business perform at a consistently high level over many decades is the quality of its researchers. Over the past five decades, scholars at Schulich have transformed the way management educators understand core issues in management.

We invite you to peruse this Report to learn more about the fascinating research work taking place at the School.

First and foremost, it is worth stressing that with this year’s edition, the Research Office proudly presents the 10 th edition of this report. While the first edition in 2008 was a fairly modest 20-page document, we are really excited to showcase our research stories in an 76-page report! This is not only

indicative of the enormous research productivity of our faculty members here at Schulich, but also speaks to the growing visibility and impact of research conducted at our School. We are now able to share a number of stories, successes and projects that delve into the fascinating research journeys of Schulich’s faculty members.

Over the past decade alone, Schulich faculty members have produced almost 1,400 journal articles and 115 books.

While the quantity has impressively increased, now roughly a third of all journal articles by Schulich faculty is published in the elite group of journals which the Financial Times uses for its ranking of top business schools. Equally impressive is the remarkable international reach of the School: over 80% of the research output is produced together with researchers at other international universities. Schulich faculty members, in recent years, have been honoured with 82 visiting professor (or scholar) appointments at universities in 26 countries.

In this Report, we are introducing a new feature designed to share more systematically the presence of Schulich faculty in national and global media, be these newspaper, TV, radio, or increasingly social media and online publications. It is quite impressive to see that the work conducted here is both of excellent quality academically, and also meets a broad public interest, addressing urgent demands for knowledge in business, politics and society in general.

Furthermore, we continue to demonstrate our longstanding leadership in areas such as international business, entrepreneurship, consumer research and responsible business. It is the incessant curiosity of Schulich’s researchers that has broadened our grasp of, and leadership in, new areas and fields such as artificial intelligence, blockchain technologies, social media, and real estate and infrastructure.

As the many funding successes in this Report show, our track record with

attracting external funding and grant money has never been better. For instance, in the last three years alone, we increased our success rate by 25% with one of the most prestigious funding agencies in Canada, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).

Our School’s evolution as a research intensive business school has reached a new trajectory. Thus it is only befitting, that very soon during this academic year, our School’s research and graduate scholarly work will finally receive its own dedicated new physical home in the Rob and Cheryl McEwen Graduate Study & Research Building.

The new building will host all our Centres of Excellence and provide a focused environment to move our research activities to an even higher level.

We are all excited and cannot wait to partake in this new quantum leap happening at the School.

Last but not least, it is time for a change of research leadership as Dirk Matten, after three years, is going on sabbatical. It is with great excitement that Dean Horváth has appointed Professor Preet Aulakh, the Pierre Lassonde Chair in International Business, as the incoming Associate Dean, Research. The School wishes Preet a successful tenure and cannot wait

to be part of a new episode in the fascinating research journey ahead.

The 2018 edition of the Schulich Spotlight on Research Report is a testament to a School that has academic excellence in research and real-world relevance at its core. We hope you enjoy reading about our research work as much as we enjoy sharing it with you. And most of all, we would be happy to hear from you.

As always, we welcome any feedback, suggestions or comments you may have, which you can email to: research@schulich.yorku.ca.

“We are thrilled and so proud to have this opportunity to support the Schulich School of Business’ new Graduate Study & Research Building. As long-time members of the Schulich alumni community, we appreciate the transformational developments that have taken place at Schulich and that have helped it earn recognition as one of the world’s leading business schools.”

ROB AND CHERYL M c EWEN

At a special event in September 2017 announcing the lead donation to the Graduate Study & Research Building project, Dean Horváth announced a generous gift from Rob and Cheryl McEwen that will allow the School to pursue its vision of becoming one of the world’s top research schools.

The Dean further explained that because of Rob and Cheryl’s transformational gift, one of the largest in the School’s history, the School will be able to put in place a number of building blocks for Schulich’s future success and ensure that it remains at the forefront of management education, globally.

It’s always fascinating to think about how the future can shape our School.

Without a doubt, this is an exciting

time at the Schulich School of Business.

This period in the evolution of our School invites reflection on how far we have come and how far we are destined to go as a leader in management education and research. Now into our 53rd year, part of the foundation for Schulich’s bold future in research, innovation and discovery is being laid with the completion of the Rob and Cheryl McEwen Graduate Study & Research Building.

Designed by the award-winning international company, Baird Sampson Neuert Architects, the 6,225 squaremetre structure, opening in Fall 2018, stands as one of the most environmentally sustainable and socially responsible buildings in North America. Some of the distinctive design and sustainability features include a solar chimney that

will drive natural ventilation in the warmer months and heated air in the colder months; the use of Thermally Active Building System design (TABS); a green roof, and use of materials that will optimize the building’s energy efficiency and performance. As described by Professor James McKellar, “The new building represents cutting-edge sustainability – aiming to go beyond LEED Gold to make a major statement in terms of doing things very differently.”

Among its inventory of unique spaces of varying geometry, the building offers instructional and presentation spaces for learning, interaction, teamwork, and collaboration, including one 90-seat and two 60-seat flat-floor classrooms with flexible furniture, 10 breakout rooms and four seminar rooms. The building

INTO THE FUTURE: SCHULICH’S INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Artificial Intelligence permeates Schulich’s research agenda

8 Schulich School of Business

The robots are coming to Schulich’s research labs and classrooms this fall as faculty and students continue to explore the emerging frontiers of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning, placing Schulich on a path to becoming a world leader in this rapidly developing field.

In the new two-part elective course, Artificial Intelligence in Business, students in the School’s Master of Business Analytics Program will be using a robotics kit to build a self-learning robot or machine that can develop evolutionary systems through trial-anderror. Students will also learn from case studies in the business applications of AI within the health care, entertainment and gamification sectors, as well as the business applications of drones and conversational systems.

In addition, Schulich’s new Deloitte Cognitive Analytics and Visualization Lab will have a new home on the second floor of the Rob and Cheryl McEwen Graduate Study & Research Building.

The Lab will also be active in the AI space through research, case studies and white papers. Students in Schulich’s Master of Business Analytics (MBAN) Program will learn to employ AI

techniques in their client consultation projects under the supervision of Murat Kristal, Associate Professor of Operations Management and Information Systems and Director of the MBAN Program. A high-security website, where client data will be stored, has been constructed for the Lab at dschulichlab.ai.

artificial intelligence processes within its research and client consultation work, directly in line with emerging trends and with priorities set out in York University’s Strategic Research Plan”, says Scientific Director, Professor Theo Noseworthy, Canada Research Chair in Entrepreneurial Innovation and the Public Good.

“Schulich is in a position to be a real powerhouse in the development of Artificial Intelligence and Business Analytics research and consulting advice, as well as in the development and training of new talent to drive this escalating global industry,” says Professor Kristal.

“There is much more to come in this exciting field through the research we do at the Schulich School of Business and through the graduate programs we offer.”

“While traditional Artificial Intelligence research falls mainly within the research area of Operations Management and Information Systems, it is a prime example of an emerging trend that has captured the imagination of researchers across a variety of disciplines at Schulich,” says Professor Dirk Matten, Associate Dean, Research, and Hewlett-Packard Chair in Corporate Social Responsibility.

important are the many studies that are examining the social and organizational implications of a world that is turning toward mass automation at a disarmingly fast pace,” says Professor Matten, who has co-authored an article in Business & Society that touches on the ethical implications of AI and other technological developments. “These technology changes will have a tremendous impact on every aspect of our lives and there is much that this research can do to help lead the way in the business applications of the new technology.”

In Marketing, Professor Noseworthy’s NOESIS Innovation, Design & Consumption Laboratory team is set to become among the first in North America to apply computer vision AI algorithms to product development, with plans to acquire visual and linguistic algorithms, and retool the lab to produce 3D printed prototypes. He is transitioning his NOESIS team towards integrating experimental design with machine learning and AI, with computer programmers, psychology faculty, professional marketers, and graduate students interested in these areas.

“We will fill a major gap in the research by advancing machine learning from a generative platform, which facilitates prototype development, to an intuitive platform that implicitly understands consumers and ultimately predicts how the market will respond to product innovations,” says Professor Noseworthy.

“This is particularly important in new venture applications, where forecasting responses to novel innovations in unfamiliar conditions offers more value than rendering prototypes. Our work has the potential to offer new tactical tools that Canadian entrepreneurs and investors can use to assess market sentiment towards a new product, using a process that takes minutes at a fraction of the cost of traditional tools.”

Integrating machine learning with product development is a relatively new advancement, allowing industry to apply algorithms designed to work the same way as evolution – running billions of iterations to optimize performance.

For example, a machine learning algorithm has been used to develop a superior model of drone that mimics the pelvis of a flying squirrel. An algorithm has also been used to develop a honeycomb frame that outperformed all current engineering practices when given the locations of stress fractures on the chassis of a race car. These are exciting developments for industry.

The NOESIS team recently developed an intuitive software interface for public use and is preparing a tutorial on how to use this software to access “big data” and decompose it with artificial intelligence. Two of the team’s papers on the use of the software and visual AI algorithms to predict the diffusion of innovation are under review with top journals. Other NOESIS projects propose to use AI to explore microlending and entrepreneurial creativity in developing countries; the limit of sexual content as a means of promoting new products; and to test whether an AI algorithm can predict design preference and optimize the trade-off between aesthetic form and functionality.

Noseworthy hopes to bring in more doctoral students and a post-doctoral role funded by the provincial Ministry of Research, Innovation and Science’s Early Researcher Award.

Lionel Li, Assistant Professor of Operations Management and Information Systems, who will be an alternate professor teaching the new MBAN AI courses, is also doing some leading research on the applied side of inventing machine learning methods. He has recently published papers on link recommendations, in which he examines how popular social media sites, such as LinkedIn, Amazon, and Facebook, attempt to predict their users’ behaviour in creating social links in order to build a more efficient networking platform.

Professor Li’s recent paper, “A Survey of Link Recommendation for Social Networks: Methods, Theoretical Foundations, and Future Research Directions”, published in the February 2018 issue of the journal ACM Transactions on Management Information Systems (TMIS), provides

a comprehensive review of the literature on link recommendations in social networks, examining methods, theories and future directions for research.

Launched only four years ago, this relatively new journal is already receiving good traction and is recognized as one of the top-tier technical journals.

Adam Diamant, Assistant Professor of Operations Management and Information Systems, is conducting AI and optimization research (funded by the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council) from a health perspective. In particular, Professor

Diamant’s research analyzes health care systems and determines how technology and operational structure affects practitioner utilization, wait times, and access to treatment. For example, in a recent study on multi-assessment health care programs, his team demonstrated that more sophisticated scheduling techniques can reduce appointment delays, decrease wait times, improve the utilization of the program’s health care practitioners, and reward patients who are committed to their treatment. The results of this study was published in Production and Operation and

Management (2018), a top academic journal in the prestigious Financial Times of London’s listing of journals in business and management.

Henry Kim, Associate Professor of Operations Management and Information Systems, along with Dr. Marek Laskowski, are the Co-Directors of Schulich’s BlockchainLab, which is investigating research questions that have real-life management and entrepreneurial applications of blockchains, a technology protocol that is being used to more rapidly advance artificial intelligence.*

EDUCATING ALEXA: MARKETING AND INNOVATION CLASSES ALSO INTRODUCING AI CONCEPTS

Both a student and a teacher in Professor Markus Giesler’s Customer Experience Design course, Alexa is not shy about speaking up in class. The voice-controlled personal assistant service spawned by Amazon Echo is one more example of how Artificial Intelligence has begun to permeate the curriculum, research, lexicon and imaginations of students, faculty and staff at Schulich.

This fall, Giesler, Associate Professor of Marketing, will be using Alexa as part of his popular Customer Experience Design class as his MBA students consider how to market AI-based technologies without challenging consumers’ decision-making capacity. “Consumers don’t want Alexa to tell them what they should be eating, to decide what house temperature is optimal or to lock them out of their house à la ‘Hal9000’,” Professor Giesler says.

“In my research lab, the Big Design Lab, I work with technology companies to determine how they can avoid AI technology that perpetuates problematic physical or socio-economic ideals and inequalities… We also study the influence of these technologies systematically over time. This matters because AI constantly changes how we work, eat, sleep, problem solve; and ultimately, AI changes who we are through how we choose to live our lives.

Such contextualized and longitudinal insight is extremely hard to find today and is in high demand among companies, policy-makers and consumers.” Giesler also spoke on the AI consumption and empathy research being done in his Big Design Lab at the 2018 AI/GI/CRV Conference, a collaborative conference featuring experts in Artificial Intelligence, Graphics Interface, and Computer and Robot Vision held at York University earlier this year.

In Kelly Parke’s Creativity and Innovation class, 47 MBA students, many of them engineers, were asked to come up with ways that AI might be used to solve problems or improve their educational experience. A few of the students’ imaginative proposals to improve upon the MBA program experience have been shared with the School’s administrative team. One student suggested using AI to monitor in real time the amount and quality of individual input and participation in group work, in order to more equitably assign credit where credit is due. “Such a feature could be advertised by a business school to attract more top students with assurances of more accurate credit for group work,” says Parke. Another suggested using Watson-powered AI and VR simulation to curate a personalized career exploration program by evaluating a user’s likes, dislikes, skills and personality, and matching them to employers.

WEATHERING THE PERFECT STORM OF DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION Schulich researchers help the financial industry adapt to disruptive technologies and the blockchain revolution

12 Schulich School of Business 

As the financial services industry undergoes a radical transformation, researchers at Schulich are busier than ever examining the implications of disruptive technologies that are challenging the big banks’ traditional monopoly.

It is not only financial institutions and consumers who are disconcerted by the speed of these technological changes and the alternative finance methods they have led to as a result. More importantly, regulatory and enforcement agencies have also been left in the dust by entrepreneurial finance, often referred to as FinTech, which is the development of digital technologies to support financial services, including the growing cryptocurrency movement enabled by the development of blockchain technologies.

Era of FinTech Disruptions Much of this disruption has been captured in Stumbling Giants: Transforming Canada’s Banks for the Information Age, co-authored by Professor James Darroch, Associate Professor of Strategic Management / Policy, CIT Chair in Financial Services and Director of Schulich’s

Financial Services Program, and Patricia Meredith. Winner of the 2018 Donner Book Prize, Stumbling Giants recommends Canadian banks adopt greater inclusivity, responsible governance and technological foresight in order not to lose their industry footing during the FinTech era.

Described by the jury that awarded the $50,000 prize as “a policy manifesto, developing a compelling case for the need for fundamental change from the branch-focused business model of current Canadian banking, to a model that conforms to the habits of the mobile-app era,” the book argues that Canadian banks are ignoring the FinTech disruptions at their peril.

the financial crisis, Professor Darroch says that outlook needs to change as disruptive new technologies attract away banks’ traditional customer base. “The issue is, stability comes at a price: and I think that’s innovation,” he says. “You basically find your model being compromised by a thousand cuts rather than a direct competitor.”

The book argues that banks will be pressured by investors to expand into more “information-based” products and services; that the federal government should do more to encourage competition in available forms of payments; and that financing regulations need to be clarified.

Although it may have been understandable for the Canadian financial system to choose stability over innovation during

Weathering the Perfect Storm of Disruptive Innovation (cont’d)

King William’s Tontine by Moshe Milevsky Recipient of the 2017 Kulp-Wright Book Award The Kulp-Wright Award is presented annually by ARIA – the premier association of researchers in insurance – to the book considered to be the most influential, published during the prior year on the subjects of risk management and insurance. The award has been granted annually since 1944 and Professor Milevsky joins a prestigious list of prior winners.

Innovative Financial Products Finance Professor Moshe Milevsky, who studies the intersection of wealth management, financial mathematics and insurance, has been reaching back into the past for inspiration for the development of innovative financial products. His recent book, King William’s Tontine: Why the Retirement Annuity of the Future Should Resemble its Past, examines one of the earliest examples of sharing longevity risk in the 17th century and how it might be applied today as a form of pooling insurance against retirement savings running out in one’s lifetime. Professor Milevsky subsequently published a prequel to King William’s Tontine, titled The Day the King Defaulted: Lessons from the Stop of the Exchequer in 1672, wherein he

analyzes a little-known 16th century financial crisis, and its relevance to the modern era.

King William’s Tontine received the 2017 Kulp-Wright Book Award, which is presented annually by the American Risk and Insurance Association, the premier association of researchers in insurance.

“This honour shows that tontine thinking, in the design of personal risk management products, is a concept with a high likelihood of catching-on in both academia and industry,” says Professor Milevsky. “It also proves that there are valuable lessons to be learned from 17th century financial and insurance history, even in the rapidly changing 21st century.”

He has also been named by the magazine Investment Advisor as one of the 35 most

influential people in the U.S. financial advisory business during the last 35 years.

Building on Professor Milevsky’s interest, his research on retirement income has led him to investigate the economic and financial impact of using one’s biological age, as opposed to chronological age, for retirement and pension policy. This work will be featured in his upcoming book, The Retirement of Age: Why Pension Policy Should be based on Biology and not on Chronology.

Digital Transformation of Investment Research Pauline Shum Nolan, Professor of Finance, wanted to share her 20 years of investment research with the broader wealth management community.

“ This honour shows that tontine thinking, in the design of personal risk management products, is a concept with a high likelihood of catching-on in both academia and industry. It also proves that there are valuable lessons to be learned from 17th century financial and insurance history, even in the rapidly changing 21st century.”

Instead of writing a textbook with Excel models – like a professor would in the “old” days – she led the development of a cloud-based solution, Wealthscope.

As regulators around the world push for transparency in a traditionally opaque industry, Wealthscope delivers by leveraging web technology and machine learning to open the black box of wealth management for all stakeholders.

The data from Wealthscope will provide valuable research insights into how individuals of all ages and wealth levels invest across accounts at multiple institutions. Wealthscope aims to diverge from the “one size fits all” mentality, valuing meaningful engagement with clients, and providing decision latitude for customization

and a wide range of functionalities for portfolio management and financial planning. Professor Shum’s vision is for Wealthscope to play a critical role in the digital transformation of the industry.

The Blockchain Revolution Henry Kim, Associate Professor of Operations Management and Information Systems, and Dr. Marek Lasksowski, are Co-Directors of Schulich’s BlockchainLab, which is investigating research questions that have real-life management and entrepreneurial applications of distributed or decentralized databases that maintain a continuously growing list of data records secured from tampering and revision.

“This cryptographic technology offers a way for people who do not know or

trust each other to create a record of who owns what, and that will compel the assent of everyone concerned,” says Professor Kim. “Originally developed to underpin the bitcoin cryptocurrency network, blockchain technologies are disrupting the financial services sector because they allow the creation of a low-cost tamper-proof consolidated audit trail capable of handling a high velocity of transactions.”

Professor Kim also shared his research on blockchain technology, which has given rise to bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and Initial Coin Offerings, with Schulich alumni attending CONNECT ’18, Schulich’s annual alumni forum.*

Russell Belk, Professor and Kraft Foods Canada Chair in Marketing, and York University Distinguished Research Professor, was named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in September 2017. In announcing Professor Belk’s election as a Fellow in the Division of Social Sciences, the Royal Society of Canada described him as a “world leader” in his field as well as one of the founders of Consumer Culture Theory.

The Royal Society of Canada is the country’s most senior and distinguished council of scholars, and this award reflects Professor Russell Belk’s stature as a leader in his field. “Russell Belk’s selection as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada reflects a truly brilliant and productive career,” said Dean Dezsö J. Horváth.

“Professor Belk is an outstanding scholar and the Schulich community is proud of his achievement.”

Widely considered by academics around the world to be “the father of qualitative marketing research”, Professor Belk was presented with the Schulich School of Business’ inaugural Dean’s Research Impact Award in January 2013. He was also awarded the honorary title of Distinguished Research Professor at York University in 2014, in recognition

of his outstanding contributions to the University through research.

“Russ Belk was a central figure in defining the field of consumer behaviour, and he has continued to play an extremely active role in reinventing the area throughout his career,” said Peter Darke, Area Coordinator of Marketing at Schulich.

“He has very much set the standard for achievement in consumer research. His research record is simply astounding, and generations of academics have benefited, and will continue to benefit, from his work. As a colleague and mentor, Russ is always willing to lend a hand and is very generous with his time.”

Jagdish Sheth, Kellstadt Professor of Marketing at Emory University, who had recruited Professor Belk to the

University of Illinois four decades ago, said that “Belk is the Wayne Gretzky of academic scholars” for his ability to identify future areas of research. Professor Belk’s research has also been global in nature and has been conducted in more than 30 different countries. Søren Askegaard, Professor of Consumption Studies at the University of Southern Denmark, commended Belk on the international scope of his research on consumer behaviour, noting that “consumer culture is not an exclusively American phenomenon”.

Professor Belk’s illustrious career spans over 40 years of the highest standards of authoritative contributions to academia, particularly in the area of Consumer Culture Research. His original research on possessions and the extended

In 1985 he recruited nearly two dozen colleagues to participate in a summer-long coast-to-coast qualitative research project titled the Consumer Behaviour Odyssey.

The project resulted in the initiation of the field of qualitative consumer research, which is now institutionalized in the yearly meetings and publications of the Consumer Culture Theory Consortium.

The group has approximately 3,600 Facebook followers and alternates its yearly meetings between North America and Europe. He also initiated the first Consumer Culture Theory Conference in 2006 and the first Association for Consumer Research Film Festival in 2001.

Both continue today.

DEMONSTRATING LEADERSHIP IN RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS TEACHING AND RESEARCH The Centre of Excellence in Responsible Business is a global leader in creating and disseminating new knowledge about the social, ethical, environmental and political responsibilities of business

20 Schulich School of Business 

On October 21, 2009, the Aspen Institute – a think tank based in Washington, DC – announced that it had ranked the Schulich School of Business number one in the world in a survey that measured how well business schools were preparing their students to manage the environmental, social and ethical complexities of modern day business.

It was the first time that a Canadian school had ever been ranked #1 in the world in a global survey of management education.

Four months later, riding the wave of global recognition that came with the ranking results, Schulich announced the establishment of its first Centre of Excellence – dedicated to Responsible Business. The Centre of Excellence in Responsible Business (COERB) was officially launched at the inaugural Thomas J. Bata Lecture Series on Responsible Capitalism held in early 2010 and featured guest speaker Ratan Tata (Hon LLD ’14). Since then, COERB has become a global leader in creating and disseminating new knowledge about the social, ethical, environmental and political responsibilities of business.

The first was the establishment of the George R. Gardiner Program in Business Ethics in 1991, followed the year after by the creation of the Erivan K. Haub Program in Business and the Environment.

Both programs were among the first of their kind in North America. The two programs became key building blocks in transforming Schulich into a world leader in the field of Responsible Business.

In 2003, Schulich established the Hewlett-Packard Chair in Corporate Social Responsibility with a $2-million endowment from the high-tech multinational. The Chair announcement was made by former Hewlett-Packard Chairman and CEO Carly Fiorina, who told a crowd of approximately 1,200 people that “this Chair represents our profound belief that many of the great ideas for

the next generation of corporate social responsibility will come from within the four walls of this School.”

Setting the Bar for Responsible Business Today, the Centre is one of the world’s largest and most influential academic centres dedicated to triple-bottom-line thinking, drawing on the expertise and research of more than 40 Schulich faculty members. When the Aspen Institute ranked Schulich number one in the world in Responsible Business, the think tank cited the “extraordinary number of courses available to [Schulich] students that contain environmental, social and ethical content as well as… the number of relevant scholarly articles being published by the School’s faculty members.” Similarly, when Corporate Knights – the world’s

“ Our academic expertise is not confined to a few areas, but is broad-based and cross-disciplinary, with Schulich professors from different backgrounds teaming up to produce research that sheds new light on how to understand and better manage a number of longstanding business challenges that relate to sustainability, business ethics and corporate social responsibility.”

largest circulation magazine devoted to responsible business – recently ranked Schulich number one globally in its annual survey of MBA programs, the publication noted that Schulich “continues to be a worldwide leader in sustainability, with strong curriculum integration, a base of relevant research institutes and centres, and widespread faculty support.”

Schulich Dean, Dezsö J. Horváth, credits that widespread support for much of the Centre’s success: “Our academic expertise is not confined to a few areas, but is broad-based and cross-disciplinary, with Schulich professors from different backgrounds teaming up to produce research that sheds new light on how to understand and better manage a number of longstanding business challenges that relate to sustainability, business ethics and corporate social responsibility.”

Re-Imagining Capitalism The School’s thought leadership in Responsible Business was evident in 2016, when Schulich collaborated with global consultancy McKinsey & Company to produce and publish Re-Imagining Capitalism, a series of essays that reflect on the need for organizations to move toward a more equitable and sustainable corporate and social model. COERB had an important role in the production of the book, with numerous contributors.

Professor Dirk Matten, Hewlett-Packard Canada Chair in Corporate Social Responsibility at Schulich and co-author of two of the chapters, has taken part in every panel discussion held since the book’s publication, including sessions in Toronto, Davos, London and Mumbai.

According to him, the panels engage people “in a dialogue about how to build on some of the powerful approaches

business leaders have proposed to help guide the world toward a more sustainable and inclusive model of capitalism. Adds Matten, “Climate change, an inadequate global water supply, income inequality, displaced refugees – these and many other issues are all linked to the way the global economy is organized and any solutions will require the involvement of business leaders.”

The past academic year was filled with a number of significant events and announcements at COERB. Robert Phillips was named the newly appointed George R. Gardiner Professor in Business Ethics.

Phillips is the former David Meade White, Jr. Chair in Business and Professor of Management at the Robins School of Business at the University of Richmond.

A Legacy of Excellence In October 2017, Schulich also celebrated its 25-year legacy as one of the first business schools in North America to develop environmentally responsible leaders through the Erivan K. Haub Program in Business & Sustainability.

The program was made possible through a $1.5 million gift from Erivan and Helga Haub, the environmentallyconscious owners of the European-based Tengelmann Group. According to Dean Horváth, “The Haub endowment was a watershed moment for our School.

The focus on business and sustainability at an early stage in Schulich’s history became a signature element of our DNA. The Haub program also served as the catalyst for our expansion into related areas such as business ethics, corporate social responsibility and corporate governance.”

The Erivan K. Haub Chair in Business and Sustainability is currently held by Charles H. Cho, Professor of Accounting and current Director of the Centre of Excellence in Responsible Business, whose research interests include social and environmental accounting.

Professor Cho’s expertise in sustainability accounting has resulted in new publications and new course offerings, including a course titled Sustainability Accounting & Accountability. Professor Cho is also serving as guest editor for a Special Issue of Sustainability Accounting, Management and Policy Journal (SAMPJ) focused on sustainability accounting practice in North America.

Demonstrating Leadership in Responsible Business Teaching and Research (cont’d)

“ Dr. Cragg’s work was pioneering at a time when business schools had historically embraced shareholder primacy and a purely economic view of the firm. The introduction of ethical considerations was initially met with substantial resistance, but he persevered, establishing himself as one of the world’s leading authorities in the field of business ethics.”

DEAN DEZSÖ J. HOR VÁTH, CM

Remembering Professor Cragg 2017 also brought some sadness to the Schulich community on the passing of Professor Wesley Cragg in September.

A Rhodes Scholar and philosopher, Professor Cragg joined Schulich in 1992 with a mandate to develop a business ethics component for Schulich’s MBA program and, eventually, the School’s under-graduate programs as well.

As a result of his pioneering efforts, Schulich is today one of the few business schools in the world where both graduate and undergraduate students are required to study business ethics.

In the ensuing decades, he established himself as a leading authority in the field of business ethics.

He was the founding Chair and President of Transparency International Canada Inc., and spearheaded a successful campaign to have the Canadian government pass legislation that criminalized the bribery of foreign officials. He also founded the Canadian Business Ethics Research Network (CBERN), which promoted business ethics initiatives and research in Canada by encouraging networking and dialogue across the private, government, NGO and academic sectors. In addition, he was a vocal advocate inside Canada for the adoption of debt forgiveness policies for developing countries, a key figure in the ratification of the landmark OECD Anti-Bribery convention governing foreign public officials, and

he worked closely with the Naskapi nation in Quebec where CBERN worked with the Naskapi to ensure that they benefited from mining on their traditional territorial land while avoiding the negative impacts caused by previous mining activity undertaken by the Iron Ore Company of Canada. The School paid tribute to Professor Cragg with a special memorial event in January of this year.* To find out more about the projects Professor Cragg was working on, visit: www.cbern.ca/naskapi www.listeningtotheland.org/ projectdescription

The following is an excerpt from that letter: “ Today we are thrilled to look back at the incredible success this program has become and how the business school has integrated the program into its Centre of Excellence in Responsible Business. We could not have chosen a better university and business school to partner with in this effort and we could not have dreamed about the tremendous importance and fabulous reputation this program has gained not only in Canada and North America but around the world. We are more than proud of the legacy you have created in our name.”

BROOKFIELD CENTRE IN REAL ESTATE AND INFRASTRUCTURE The hub of real estate and infrastructure industry outreach, alumni engagement, research, teaching excellence and experiential learning at Schulich

26 Schulich School of Business 

The Brookfield Centre in Real Estate and Infrastructure has established a global leadership role for the School in the expanding and evolving fields of real estate and infrastructure, and the increasingly important intersections between them. First announced in 2016 and made possible by a generous $4 million donation from Timothy R. Price (Hon. LLD ’09) and his wife, Frances Price, together with the Brookfield Partners Foundation, the Brookfield Centre is well positioned to become a globally renowned and sought-after real estate and infrastructure education and applied research hub at Schulich.

The goal of the Brookfield Centre is to achieve international status as a recognized Centre of Excellence in real estate and infrastructure education, experiential learning and thought leadership. Real estate and infrastructure have taken on a new importance as building blocks in today’s global economy, with increasing recognition that successful and sustainable cities are the ecosystems for business formation, innovation, and economic growth. This dynamic coincides with the growing importance of “real assets” in both institutional and individual asset portfolios that is transforming real estate and infrastructure investment strategies and driving increased demand for highly qualified, creative professionals that understand both industries as well as the connections between them.

“The Brookfield Centre in Real Estate and Infrastructure provides Schulich students with rewarding career opportunities in

the growing real estate and infrastructure sector and generates cutting-edge research that will help shape the strategies and policies adopted by business, government and non-profit sector leaders around the world,” said Schulich Dean Dezsö J. Horváth. Timothy R. Price, Hon. LLD ’09, Chairman of Brookfield Funds, says he has been pleased to help support the Brookfield Centre. “It’s a very exciting mission that the School is on to develop future leaders, to expand the research to cover this very broad area and to realize the potential within the School to create a global Centre of Excellence in Real Estate and Infrastructure,” says Price.

Schulich has a strong and innovative tradition in real estate and infrastructure education and industry engagement.

Led and nurtured over the past two decades by James McKellar, Professor of Real Estate and Infrastructure, and Andre Kuzmicki, recently retired but

still connected former Executive Director, along with a strong contingent of sessional instructors, Schulich’s MBA Program in Real Estate and Infrastructure is well established, highly regarded by industry and connected to a sizeable, engaged global alumni network. Originally focused only on real estate, the School was well ahead of the curve in introducing infrastructure to the curriculum, seeing a need to provide graduates for the burgeoning infrastructure industry in Canada, and also the natural connection and fit within urban environments and hence real estate.

Building on the foundation created

by Professor McKellar and supportive industry professionals, the infrastructure education experience and thought leadership at Schulich have benefited significantly from the addition of Assistant Professor Sherena Hussain, MBA/ JD ’12, PhD candidate, an emerging

leader in infrastructure financing and global business model innovation. Her research explores infrastructure capital structures, public-private partnerships, and emerging business models at the nexus of infrastructure, real estate and innovation. A recipient of the Hennick Medal for Academic Excellence and an accomplished legal professional, Professor Hussain has won awards in the areas of tax, contract, commercial/corporate, real estate, trust and estate law. Professor Hussain utilizes a range of leading experiential learning models that bring industry into the classroom to teach courses in infrastructure delivery models, structuring development transactions, and financing large-scale infrastructure.

The Brookfield Centre represents the evolution of the program in Real Estate and Infrastructure and provides the resources to take the academic programs, industry outreach and research to the next level – a process that is well underway and set to ramp up with a new identity, energy and physical location inside Schulich’s new Rob and Cheryl McEwen Graduate Study & Research Building, together with the School’s other Centres of Excellence.

After launching a new 12-month Master of Real Estate and Infrastructure Program (MREI), the first of its kind in the world alongside the School’s successful MBA specialization, and simultaneously hiring Avis Devine, Associate Professor of Real Estate and Infrastructure, in 2017, the

Brookfield Centre welcomed its second MREI cohort and continued to strengthen its faculty group and leadership, adding Jim Clayton, Professor and the inaugural Timothy R. Price Chair in Real Estate and Infrastructure earlier this year. The winner of the 2017 Nick Tyrell Research Prize in Real Estate Investment, Professor Devine’s research focuses on Sustainable and Energy Efficient Real Estate, Commercial Real Estate, Multifamily Housing, and Emerging Markets. Professor Clayton rejoined the academic world, and returned to Canada, after more than a decade in the global institutional real estate investment management arena, most recently as Head of Real Estate Investment Strategy and Analytics at Barings, where he was also an Adjunct Professor of Real Estate at the University of Connecticut.

With a unique combination of four full time faculty, all with significant industry experience and diverse yet complementary research and teaching foci and industry connections, the Brookfield Centre is well positioned to enhance one of its key pillars of applied research and thought leadership. Professor Devine was recently awarded a grant from the LawrenceBerkeley National Laboratory (in conjunction with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) and the Real Estate Research Institute (RERI) to advance the study of environmentally certified commercial real estate. Professor Devine is working closely with a major North American real estate investment manager

on the project. Professor Clayton and a third external coauthor are also part of the research team on this project.

Professor Clayton has been invited to be part of the editorial board of the special Real Estate issue of The Journal of Portfolio Management, sponsored by the Pension Real Estate Association (PREA) to be published in the fall of 2019. He is also at work updating and revising the graduate level textbook, Commercial Real Estate Analysis & Investments (3rd edition), Oncourse Learning, 2014, along with coauthors David Geltner (MIT), Norm Miller (San Diego) and Piet Eichholtz (Maastricht).

A new textbook, co-authored by Professors McKellar and Hussain, The Business of Infrastructure, will be published in early 2019. Professor Hussain has co-authored an article, “Rethinking the Role of Private Capital in Infrastructure PPPs,” in Public Management Review, and is cited for her work with the World Economic Forum, UITP, and numerous national media outlets.

The Brookfield Centre’s faculty have been widely quoted and featured in The Globe and Mail, The Financial Post and other media about Toronto’s viability as a possible site for the next Amazon headquarters and other real estate and infrastructure issues.

and alumni engagement is a key focus of the Brookfield Centre. For example, distinguished alumna Janice Fukakusa (MBA ’79, Hon LLD ’16), a member of the Dean’s Advisory Council and the Chair of the new Canada Infrastructure Bank, recently spoke at CONNECT’18: The Schulich Alumni Forum where she shared her insights on Canada’s future in infrastructure. The 12th annual Schulich Real Estate and Infrastructure Perspectives Lecture, co-hosted by the Schulich Real Property Alumni Association (SRPAA), saw more than 300 students, alumni, faculty, staff and industry professionals networking and listening to keynote speaker Jon Love, Founder and CEO of KingSett Capital. Jon shared lessons acquired throughout his career journey – from his time as President and CEO of Oxford Properties to the founding, growth and evolution of KingSett Capital, a major private equity real estate player in Canada.

In March, more than 80 alumni attended Schulich’s eighth annual Developers’ Den international case competition, won by a team of Schulich MREI students competing against 12 teams from schools around North America. Started in 2011, Developers’ Den is Canada’s longest running and most

prestigious real estate case competition.

This year’s competition was presented

by Altus Group and co-hosted by Schulich’s Brookfield Centre in Real Estate and Infrastructure and the Schulich Real Property Alumni Association. Final round judges included Geoff Grayhurst, MBA ’91, President, Dorsay Development Corporation; Mauro Pambianchi, Chief Development Officer, SmartCentres REIT; Toni Rossi, President, Real Estate, Infrastructure Ontario; Fred Waks, President and CEO, Trinity Development Group; and Alan Vihant, Executive Vice President, Great Gulf Homes.

A highlight of the year for the Brookfield Centre, one that recognizes the uniqueness and relevance of its program offerings and their impact on industry, was the invitation to join an important global infrastructure initiative. In June, as G7 leaders gathered to meet in Quebec, the Brookfield Centre was announced as the inaugural education partner for the G7 Investor Global Initiatives project, in collaboration with the Government of Canada and leading institutional investors, including Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (Ontario Teachers’) and Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ).

The G7 program will bring senior public sector infrastructure managers from emerging markets to Schulich for a three-month intensive business program, followed by an internship in the infrastructure unit of a participating global investor. Fellows will also receive training on the Sustainable Infrastructure Foundation’s leading SOURCE platform for infrastructure project development.

The first cohort of 16 Fellows will start their studies at the Brookfield Centre in the summer of 2019, and the class size is expected to grow to more than 30 in future years.

“Schulich’s Infrastructure program is global and collaborative in outlook so that the first Fellows will learn not only from their professors, but also from each other, returning to their countries of origin equipped with the expertise and international network they need to successfully achieve their infrastructure goals, as set out by the G7,” says Professor McKellar. “The Brookfield Centre is proud to play a role in addressing the challenges of city building and improving the quality of environment for people across the globe.” * Spotlight on Research 2018 29

THE CENTRE FOR GLOBAL ENTERPRISE Providing research, thought leadership, networks, and events to enable Canadian small-and-medium enterprises to succeed globally

30 Schulich School of Business 

Now in its fifth year, Schulich’s Centre for Global Enterprise (CGE) is hitting its stride with several new networking, coaching and business initiatives designed to enable Canadian small- and medium-size businesses (SMEs) to succeed in global markets.

Since its launch in 2013, with the support of its founding members – Royal Bank of Canada, Export Development Canada (EDC), Scotiabank and Chartered Professional Accountants of Ontario, the CGE has delivered analysis, programs, events, business opportunities and networking initiatives, and collated and curated information sources on its website to that end.

The Centre has an active external outreach program which connects SMEs with the resources, programs and students that will assist them to successfully engage with international markets. Some examples are highlighted below.

The Global Business Access Network (GBAN) proof-of-concept stage was showcased over an 8-month period to SMEs from various lines of business by organizations such as the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development and Growth, and Innovation York. GBAN client companies made requests which ranged from dealing with business cultural issues with a software distributor in Germany, to specific information regarding regulatory approval procedures, and national health insurance test reimbursement rates for cardiac monitoring equipment in Australia.

The CGE has also successfully helped place Schulich students in internships or contract positions in various organizations, including private companies such as Inertia Engineering; government agencies such as the Ontario Ministry of International Trade, and the Ontario Ministry of Health; and NGOs such as CanadianItalian Chamber of Commerce in Ontario.

The CGE has developed and maintains relations with Canadian government agencies and think tanks concerned with international trade and SMEs. For example, through its Executive Director, Professor Lorna Wright, it has provided input into Canada’s trade policy through invited submissions to the federal government, and to the Ontario government as a member of an advisory committee to the Minister of International Trade. Professor Wright is also a member of the International Economic Policy Committee of C.D. Howe Institute, a renowned think tank. As well, the CGE has partnered with like-minded organizations such as the Centre for International Governance innovation (CIGI) and Asia Pacific Foundation for programs directed at SMEs and/or students.

The CGE continues to develop relationships with foreign governments’ commercial

and investment representatives in Canada, as well as bilateral business councils.

These are relationships that can potentially be valuable to both the Schulich and wider Canadian business communities with regards to resources and information.

A few illustrations of such relationships are: Korean Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA), the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade), the various Consulate Generals in Toronto (e.g., Brazil, Japan), the Canada-China Business Council (CCBC), and the Hong Kong Canada Business Association (HKCBA).

In addition to these activities, the CGE facilitates the dissemination of research conducted by the faculty associates at Schulich and its affiliated endowed chair holders. According to Dr. Lorna Wright, who also holds the EDC Professorship in International Business, “At the CGE, we try to translate research that gives insight into best practices relevant to Canadian SMEs wanting to go global into a format and language accessible to the SME community. Our Schulich base provides valuable resources in the way of scholarship and we would like to help our SME partners access this knowledge.”

CGE’s mission is: Support the current generation of Canadian entrepreneurs and SMEs to achieve global success; Develop the next generation of global entrepreneurs and SMEs; and Provide thought leadership in the areas of globalization and international value chains.

Another global phenomenon she investigates involves digitization and, more specifically, investment crowdfunding, a rising financing tool for entrepreneurs across the world.

Professor Lévesque research characterizes investor compensation under various models, including offer of equity, interest payments, and discount-on-futureshare-price, which are emerging in the investment crowdfunding space. Her work suggests that investment crowdfunding challenges traditional notions of how key factors influence investor compensation. Her recent research interest further lies with the rise of digital platforms, which also represents a fertile area for unearthing what can drive the growth of new enterprises.

Her work also considers franchising as a form of global expansion for new enterprises. She focuses on knowledgeintensive industries, which differs from the standard fast-food and low-tech service industries, to refine the more popular belief that firms should favour expansion via franchised units when their business routines require adaptation, but they should favour expansion via company-owned units when these routines can readily be replicated. From conducting her research with international collaborators spanning a variety of professional and ethnical backgrounds, Professor Lévesque acknowledges that her research would not have evolved as it has, neither would it have been as impactful, without these collaborations.

ANOOP M ADH OK Professor of Strategic Management / Policy; Scotiabank Professorship in International Business

Professor Anoop Madhok, a globally recognized scholar for his research on strategic alliances, is using his expertise to study how young entrepreneurial firms can leverage their resources with established firms to forge enduring alliances and achieve global success. His research suggests that the large established firms typically manage a portfolio of alliances

simultaneously. Thus for startups, the main challenge is to attract and sustain the large partner’s attention since established firms typically have limited managerial attention to allocate across their various startuppartners. This essential asymmetry results in a competition for the corporation’s attention amongst startups concurrently engaged in alliances with that corporation.

In the research conducted by Professor Madhok and his team, they address the issue of attention dynamics within collaborative settings and, specifically, how such dynamics shape how corporation-startup partnerships unfold over time. In doing so, they explore (i) how entrepreneurial startups differ in terms of attention (given by and) received from the established firm; (ii) how they differ in terms of action on their part in attracting such attention; and (iii) the impact of such attention dynamics on how the partnership unfolds.

The research team collected data on one established global firm (within a specific technology domain) and a select number of startups – both North America and Europe-based – with whom they had ties to get a deeper and more refined understanding of how relative and changing attention levels affect the evolution of the partnership.

Of the six startups they studied, three had failed outcomes despite an initially promising start, whereas the three others had relatively successful outcomes despite a slow start. Based on these case studies, the research provides specific recommendations for young entrepreneurial firms about effectively managing their alliance relationships in order to achieve their growth objectives.*

Some Outreach Activities of the Centre for Global Enterprise RBC-Schulich Enterprise Forums The CGE’s annual RBC-Schulich Enterprise Forum, Success Without Borders, is designed to foster national learning networks among entrepreneurs and SME managers, and between these enterprise leaders and the policymaking and business research communities. This past year’s theme “Connecting Opportunity to Expertise” was devoted to finding new ways to connect Canadian entrepreneurs and SMEs with the expertise and capabilities they need to support their global ambitions.

The event was attended by representatives of SME owners, larger companies, government organizations, NGOs, and academic institutions.

Canada-Japan Futures Forum The CGE partnered with the Centre for International Governance and Innovation (CIGI) for an event fostering entrepreneurship and innovation partnerships between the two countries. Speakers were drawn from both Canada and Japan and included Jim Balsillie, co-founder of Blackberry, and Nobuyuki Akimoto, EVP, NTT Docomo Ventures. Recommendations from the forum formed the basis of a report that highlighted two primary sectors where Japanese and Canadian SMEs could collaborate for mutual benefit – clean technology and health technologies, and made suggestions for where academic research could better serve entrepreneurs.

ASEAN Financial Services Opportunities Roundtable Last year, the CGE and the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy teamed up to co-host the ASEAN Financial Services Opportunities Roundtable, to discuss timely opportunities for Canadian businesses wishing to expand into financial services markets throughout Southeast Asia.

More than 50 international trade and financial services professionals from Canada, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand gathered before keynote speaker Dr. Supachai Panitchpakdi, former Director General of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and former Secretary General of UNCTAD, as he shared experiences and knowledge about risks and opportunities in the Southeast Asian markets.

The event made headway toward improving government policy surrounding Canada’s opportunities in the financial sector in the region.

Winter Olympic Network The CGE is also helping to coordinate and support the virtual Winter Olympic Network of organizations to assist Canadian SMEs by identifying and taking advantage of opportunities in the lead-up to the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. The CGE has partnered with members of the Schulich Chinese Alumni Network (SCAN) in providing coaches and leveraging existing networks in the Chinese market. Schulich’s South-East Asian Business Association, a student club, is also being considered as a possible resource to help Canadian SMEs better understand markets overseas.

BUSINESS ANALYTICS: ONE OF SCHULICH’S FUTURE CENTRES OF EXCELLENCE With the increasing importance of analytics, Schulich’s MBAN Program trains the talent to analyze and provide insights on big data for organizations

34 Schulich School of Business

In October 2012, the cover of Harvard Business Review boldly proclaimed that Big Data was the next big revolution reshaping business management. The business journal even went so far as to say that the “sexiest job of the 21st century” was going to be the data scientist.

If business analytics is the next frontier, the Schulich School of Business is well ahead of the curve. The School had already launched one of the world’s firstever professional management degrees in Business Analytics in June 2012.

Schulich’s Master of Business Analytics (MBAN) degree program was established to keep the School on the leading edge of business, while also developing professional managers for one of the fastest-growing industries in the world.

The industry is experiencing double-digit annual growth and is expected to surpass $200 billion in annual worldwide revenues by 2020, according to IDC, a leading provider of market intelligence for the IT market.

Schulich’s intensive, 12-month Masters program combines mathematical and statistical study with instruction in advanced computational and data analysis to ferret out the data that drives decisionmaking in business.

Industry demand for business analytics expertise has been strong from day one.

Students from the inaugural class were all snapped up by blue-chip corporations within the first few months after the globally-accredited program launched, and most students in the Program continue to receive multiple job offers long before graduating from companies and organizations such as RBC, Accenture, PwC, Telus, TD, Bell, Labatt, CIBC, and Statistics Canada.

Fueling the MBAN Program’s early growth was a partnership with SAS, the world leader in business analytics software and services. The firm’s Canadian subsidiary donated stateof-the-art data analysis software that allowed MBAN students to efficiently consolidate data from disparate sources and analyze it for use in datadriven decision-making, including statistical analysis, forecasting, econometrics, optimization, scheduling

and simulation, quality improvement and seamless data integration.

According to Murat Kristal, Program Director of Schulich’s Master of Business Analytics Program and an Associate Professor of Operations Management & Information Systems, companies are capturing vast amounts of data, but they need more highly-trained professionals to analyze and identify patterns and trends in order to create value for their customers and shareholders. The Program continues to grow year over year.

Last year’s class had 50. This year’s class, which began in May 2018, has 52 students – the largest class to date.

The Program has forged a number of research alliances. It recently joined forces with Baker McKenzie LLP, one of the world’s largest global law firms, in establishing the Whitespace Legal Collaboration Lab. The research initiative includes academics from the University

Our Students The Lab’s students come from diverse backgrounds, exploring the cutting edge of analytics together.

of Toronto’s iSchool and the University of Waterloo’s Problem Lab, as well as business and technology professionals from IBM Canada. The Lab will focus on addressing challenges “at the intersection of business, law and technology” and the delivery of legal services in the future.

In October of last year, Schulich announced a groundbreaking partnership with Deloitte, a global leader in business analytics, to establish the SchulichDeloitte Cognitive Analytics and Visualization Lab. The innovative Lab will be housed in the School’s future Centre of Excellence in Business Analytics and will provide a focal point for industry outreach, collaboration, research and experiential education in Advanced Analytics. “Schulich is excited to work with Deloitte’s pioneering data analytics

team to prepare future business leaders to visually interpret and communicate insights generated by Big Data collections,” says Professor Kristal. “Business analytics and data visualization are a potential game changer for every industry.”

The approximately 800 square-foot lab will support teaching and research goals, as well as explore advances in predictive analytics, natural language processing, machine learning, analytics design and visualization, and data-based storytelling.

It will be equipped with cognitive, machine learning, data analytics and visualization technologies. The Lab’s researchers are at the leading edge of deep learning and machine learning, including areas such as neural networks, probabilistic models, statistical theory and natural language processing. The

Lab will be the home for the new Deloitte Data Scientist, who will be involved in research initiatives in Analytics and Artificial Intelligence.

The Lab will also house the new Analytics Consulting Project (ACP). The ACP is the first program of its kind in Canada – a hands-on experiential learning program that will link students with real-world organizations and will use real client data to provide actionable insights and solutions to the organization. Working in teams of three or four over the course of eight months, the MBAN students will be paired with industry partners and spend the final two terms of the Program using the Schulich-Deloitte Cognitive Analytics and Data Visualization Lab’s proprietary platform and capabilities. Faculty advisors will provide consultation and guidance

Business Analytics: One of Schulich’s Future Centres of Excellence (cont’d)

throughout the project. Working as analytics consultants and collaborating closely with their clients, the students will perform data cleansing, verification and quantitative analysis, and unearth business insights using advanced analytics methods. The final solution report will be done using data visualization tools to deliver a clear and at-a-glance synopsis of the findings and recommendations.

“The Lab brings the challenges faced by real companies into our classroom, and our students and faculty advisors will help unlock insights and deliver tangible outcomes,” says Gina Pagiamtzis, Strategic Partnerships and Industry Liaison for the MBAN program. Companies and organizations will pay a sponsorship fee to achieve three goals. First, to support our current students working on the project; second, to enable us to establish a self-funded Innovation Lab; and third, to establish future bursaries and scholarships. In return, organizations that take part in the Analytics Consulting Project will gain access to a pool of highly qualified analytics talent for future recruiting, as well as access to Schulich’s high-calibre faculty advisors. Once the project is complete, organizations will receive customized solutions for their analytical challenges following advanced in-depth analysis and research on the part of Schulich students and faculty members.

The Lab website (dschulichlab.ai/ how-it-works) will eventually feature research case studies and white papers that will come out of Lab and students’ consulting projects.

Schulich believes the Deloitte Cognitive Analytics and Visualization Lab will not only foster advances in the visualization and interpretation of Big Data but will play an important role in developing the next generation of business analytics talent and become a centrepiece of the School’s future Centre of Excellence in Business Analytics.*

Schulich Business History Chair Wins Prestigious Humboldt Research Award Matthias Kipping, Professor and Richard E. Waugh Chair in Business History at the Schulich School of Business, received a prestigious research award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Germany.

Over the years, 14 other York University scholars across a variety of disciplines have received a Humboldt Research Award. “I feel very honoured to receive this Humboldt Research Award and to be able to infuse an historical consciousness into other management disciplines,” says Matthias Kipping. He intends to fulfill his Humboldt-funded research stay at Freie Universität Berlin in 2019 during a sabbatical break from his role as Academic Director of the Kellogg-Schulich Executive MBA program.

Professor Matthias Kipping became Schulich’s inaugural Chair in Business History in 2005 after an international search. He has degrees from the Sorbonne, Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, and the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris, and has received his doctorate from the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in

Munich. He held previous appointments at the University of Reading in the UK and Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain. Since assuming the Chair in January 2006, Matthias has greatly expanded the teaching of business history at the School as well as its international research profile, namely in terms of history’s broader contribution to the study of management – efforts recognized by the recent Humboldt Award.

Matthias is the author of numerous books on the role of business and management, including Defining Management: Business Schools, Consultants, Media, 2016, co-authored with Lars Engwall and Behlül Üsdiken, and the forthcoming History in Management Research: From Margin to Mainstream, co-authored with Üsdiken. Matthias is also co-editor, with Dean Dezsö J. Horváth and

Schulich Business History Chair Wins Prestigious Humboldt Research Award (cont’d)

“ Our academic expertise is not confined to a few areas, but is broad-based and cross-disciplinary, with Schulich professors from different backgrounds teaming up to produce research that sheds new light on how to understand and better manage a number of longstanding business challenges that relate to sustainability, business ethics and corporate social responsibility.”

DEAN DEZSÖ J. HOR VÁTH, CM

published in The Globe and Mail, Forbes.com and other media outlets.

He has worked on select projects for the Schulich Executive Education Centre, combining his deep knowledge of strategy and history. And, together with Dean Horváth and Dominic Barton, he has been taking the important message of the Re-Imagining Capitalism book to global audiences in Davos, Switzerland, London, England, Mumbai and Hyderabad, India, Beijing, China, and, planned for November 2018, São Paulo, Brazil. At a recent meeting of Schulich alumni from the Greater China Region in Shenzhen, Matthias delivered a TED-style presentation, which highlighted three reasons why all managers need history: (i) to deal with often hidden legacies in organizations and global business; (ii) to use as a powerful resource in the interaction with customers and other stakeholders; and (iii) to recognize – and, ideally, anticipate – repeat patterns driven by fundamental characteristics of human behaviour.

Business History at Schulich Business history has a long tradition at Schulich as part of Dean Dezsö J. Horváth’s path-breaking strategy to broaden the perspective/outlook of future managers, which includes establishing the George R. Gardiner Professorship in Business Ethics, the Erivan K. Haub Chair in Business and Sustainability and the Hewlett-Packard Chair in Corporate Social Responsibility.

Business history was introduced as a first-year core course in the School’s BBA curriculum and represented in its Faculty since the early 1990s. The course was first taught by Robert Cuff, who was cross appointed as a professor with York’s history department. Professor Cuff had close relations with the Harvard Business School, which had been the first to create an endowed chair in Business History in the 1920s. After Cuff’s untimely death in 2001, Dean Horváth decided to create a Chair, which was established in 2003 with generous support from the Schulich Foundation. In 2016, the Chair was named in honour of Richard E. Waugh following a generous gift from the Waugh Family Foundation to the Leading Change Campaign.

Professor Kipping’s Contribution Under his guidance, the long-standing BBA business history course was reshaped to show students the crucial role of history to understand – and navigate – the organizations we work in and the world we live in. He also developed an advanced undergraduate course, “Creating Global Capitalism”, and an MBA course, “Managing Globally: Past, Present, Future”.

These courses are now taught by sessional lecturers, many of whom are also research-active and contributing to Schulich’s reputation in business history.

Several of these lecturers have been nominated for (and awarded) the Seymour Schulich Prize for Teaching Excellence.

Matthias was the 1st place winner of this award for his MBA teaching in 2013 and was also elected by the Kellogg-Schulich EMBA class of 2012 as the best Schulich professor. He currently focuses his efforts on familiarizing MBA students with the power of the historical perspective as part of the “Skills for Leadership” core course; and in his role as Academic Director of the Kellogg-Schulich Executive MBA program since 2015, where he teaches a shortened version of the “Managing Globally” course.*

Together with Dean Horváth and Dominic Barton, Matthias Kipping has been taking the important message of the Re-Imagining Capitalism book to global audiences at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, London, England, Mumbai and Hyderabad, India, Beijing, China, and, planned for November 2018, São Paulo, Brazil.

Schulich Professor Wins Research Prize for Paper on Sustainable Real Estate Investment Last October, Dr. Avis Devine of the Brookfield Centre for Real Estate and Infrastructure, along with her co-author Dr. Erkan Yonder, was awarded the 2017 Nick Tyrrell Research Prize in Real Estate Investment for their paper, “Decomposing the Value Effects of Sustainable Real Estate Investment: International Evidence.”

The research considers the effects of environmentally-sensitive investments on the value and performance of listed real estate firms, comparing countries with and without mandatory environmental reporting on investment properties.

“This paper develops earlier work, which was sponsored by a grant from the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA). While evidence exists that real estate investment trusts (REITs) with a sustainable component to their portfolio outperform the competition, no research has shown how – through what channels – those sustainable properties are impacting firm value and performance,” says Avis. “I often use the example of having a very fit next door neighbor, and observing that they have a treadmill in their living room. One might think ‘I’ll buy a treadmill and put it in my living room, and then I’ll be fit too,’ but we all know that’s not how it works. Owning and

operating environmentally-sensitive real estate faces a similar hurdle. A firm can’t expect to just buy properties with a green building certification and reap financial benefits. Firms need to understand how these benefits arise – is it higher rents, lower expenses, decreased risk? If we don’t understand the manner in which green buildings reap financial benefits, it’s more difficult to replicate that outcome.” The authors decomposed asset and firm-level activities to identify how the sustainable assets are impacting both asset and firm-level cash flows, and do so in two countries with highly differentiated environmental reporting requirements. In the US, a country without required reporting, findings indicate that REITs with a more sustainable portfolio experience higher rental income, higher operating expenses, and lower interest expenses, increasing cash flows available for distribution to shareholders. These firms also attract

ABOUT THE NICK TYRRELL RESEARCH PRIZE The Prize is in memory of the work and industry contribution of Nick Tyrrell, who passed away in 2010. Nick Tyrrell was Head of Research and Strategy and a Managing Director in J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s European real estate division. His research work was characterised by a combination of academic rigour and practical relevance. The Prize is funded by the Nick Tyrrell Memorial Fund, which is supported by the three sponsoring organizations: the European Association for Investors in Non-Listed Real Estate Vehicles (INREV), the Investment Property Forum (IPF), and the Society for Property Researchers (SPR). This is the first time the prize has been awarded to a non-European academic team.

higher premiums to NAV (net asset value), carry lower systematic risk, and are subject to less uninformed trading. The researchers find less nuanced results for real estate investment firms in the UK, which face mandatory environmental reporting. Their findings suggest that environmental reporting requirements may facilitate improvements in the environmental performance of properties and enhance transparency.

Currently, the researchers are digging deeper into the different benefit streams of environmentally-sensitive investment, to further strengthen the analysis.

Later this year they will be extending the international analysis to include Canada and Australia, providing a look at other country reporting requirement scenarios. This will create a continuum of the relationship between environmental reporting requirements and the financial impact of green building investment.*

New Schulich Faculty Jim Clayton

JIM CLAYTON Professor and Timothy R. Price Chair in Real Estate and Infrastructure; Director, Brookfield Centre in Real Estate and Infrastructure

Research Keywords • Real Estate Cycles, Capital Flows and Pricing • Real Estate Investment Risk Measurement and Management • Private versus Public Market Investment Dynamics • Real Estate as Part of the Broader Real Asset Portfolio

Jim Clayton is the Timothy R. Price Chair in Real Estate and Infrastructure and Director of the Brookfield Centre in Real Estate and Infrastructure at the Schulich School of Business. Prior to joining York University, Jim was Head of Real Estate Investment Strategy and Analytics at Barings, a U.S.-based global multi-asset investment management firm that is part of the Mass Mutual Financial Group. Prior to joining Cornerstone Real Estate Advisers, which later became part of Barings, in 2008, he spent two years as the Director of Research at the Pension Real Estate Association (PREA). And before that, Jim held faculty positions at the University of Cincinnati and Saint Mary’s University in Halifax.

Impressively, Jim is a co-editor of the bi-annual special issue of The Journal of Portfolio Management devoted to real estate; a Fellow and former President of the Real Estate Research Institute (RERI); a Fellow of the Weimer School of Advanced Studies in Real Estate and Land Economics, and a past recipient of a Homer-Hoyt Institute post-doctoral fellowship.

Jim has a PhD from the University of British Columbia, an MA from the University of Western Ontario, and an Honours BA from Queen’s University.

Research Projects Jim’s research has largely focused on the interconnected topics of real estate price cycles, capital flows, liquidity, performance measurement and risk-return dynamics.

Two particular foci have been the timevarying relationship between private (property assets) and public (shares of listed real estate companies) market pricing of real estate in both the short and long-run; as well as the link between property pricing, risk-adjusted returns and financial leverage (debt financing) and the implications for investors, lenders and policy makers/regulators over the property cycle. Post Great Financial Crisis (GFC), his paper, “Debt Matters: Leverage, Liquidity & Property Valuation,” received the best paper award for the Journal of Real Estate Portfolio Management in 2009.

Companion pieces (with co-author Liang

Peng of Penn State) extended this work, empirically validating the link between mortgage fund flows and property price cycles, and also provided a behaviouralbased explanation missed in traditional finance models. These articles appeared in the Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics and The Journal of Portfolio Management. Subsequent invitations from industry publications led to “Financial Leverage and Risk: Property-Level and Market-wide (Systemic) Perspectives,” published in 2011, in The Institutional Real Estate Letter and a co-authored piece drawing an analogy between the commercial real estate finance system and an ecosystem in “Coral Reefs, Sharks, Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) and the Law of Unintended Consequences,” in the investment management industry magazine Dialogues in 2016.

Jim’s current interests are also focused on the implications of major structural shifts and accelerations, such as those related to demographic trends, technology, globalization and socially responsible investment, and the evolving real estate investment environment, one that is seeing a reconsideration of the definition of real estate and a blurring of the lines between real estate, infrastructure and other “real assets”. His 2017 co-authored article, “The Expansion of Real Estate,” in The Journal of Portfolio Management introduces readers to the latest real estate special issue and outlines the key shifts and evolving trends and implications for real estate investment strategy, asset management and portfolio construction. He recently began a new project, along with Brookfield Centre colleague, Professor Avis Devine, and another co-author, working with a major North American real estate investment management firm’s data, to study the “Impact of Environmental Interventions on Commercial Real Estate Operations. ”The research aims to fill a void in the existing literature on the impact of environmentally-sensitive Corporate Real Estate on property operating costs at both the building and portfolio level and should be well received in both the academic and industry sectors.* Spotlight on Research 2018 43

New Schulich Faculty Robert Phillips

ROBERT PHILLIPS Professor of Strategic Management / Policy and George R. Gardiner Professor in Business Ethics

Research Keywords • Stakeholders • Network Ethics • Value Chain Responsibility • Theory of the Firm • Historical Corporate Responsibility

Robert Phillips has been appointed the new George R. Gardiner Professor in Business Ethics and Professor of Strategic Management / Policy. Robert brings more than 20 years of academic experience since earning his PhD from the University of Virginia’s Darden Graduate School of Business Administration. Prior to joining Schulich, he was the David Meade White, Jr. Chair at the University of Richmond and has taught at the Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (Shanghai), University of San Diego, The Wharton School, and Georgetown University. He was also the 2017 Gourlay Professor of Ethics in Business at Trinity College, University of Melbourne. He has held leadership positions with the Academy of Management, the Strategic Management Society, the International Association for Business and Society and is past President of the Society for Business Ethics. He is also a Senior Fellow at the Olsson Center for Applied Ethics at the Darden School.

Research Projects Robert has earned a scholarly reputation largely from his work on stakeholder theory. His 2003 book, Stakeholder Theory and Organizational Ethics, laid out the essential importance of ethics and moral theory in managing business organizations and went on to defend considerations of fairness and reciprocity as vital to business success.

More recently, together with co-author Doug Bosse, he has extended his work on fairness and reciprocity to consider the role of “bounded self-interest” in business.

Scholars, students, and practicing managers have been led to believe that businesspeople are more self-interested than the general public – at least in their business activities. Robert argues that this has led critics to swing too far in the other direction, by unrealistically imploring managers to be more altruistic.

Relying on well-established findings from psychology, Robert elaborates a middle ground. He argues that managers often do act self-interestedly, but that this self-

44 Schulich School of Business

interest is limited, “bounded” by norms of fairness and reciprocity. Though cynics may suggest otherwise, studies indicate that psychologically healthy individuals care deeply about fairness and reciprocity – so much so that we regularly perceive businesspeople to be acting “irrationally”.

Because business people are still people: they 1) will tend to put in extra effort when treated better than expected; 2) will exact revenge or shirk – even at cost to themselves – when they believe they have been treated unfairly; and 3) may even react negatively – again, at personal cost – to others’ being mistreated. Robert argues that nuanced awareness of norms of fairness and reciprocity will help lead to a more accurate understanding of theories such as agency theory – and make managers more effective.

The next big question Robert hopes to a shine light on relates to our evolving understanding of the boundaries of organizations in the 21st century. Two intensifying trends drive this interest. The first is the increasing awareness of the benefits and dangers of group identity and membership. Being part of a group carries both psychological (“in-group bias”) and moral implications (people are responsible to – and for – members of their own groups to a greater degree than nonmembers). However, the business world is witnessing ever increasing levels of ambiguity about organizational boundaries, generating greater ambiguity about these psychological and moral implications. The second important trend is the increase in outsourcing, independent contract workers, the gig economy, and virtual and networked organizations. We are even seeing companies held responsible for the actions of prior management teams and prior iterations of their companies in the long-ago past. The actions of Volkswagen and IBM during the Second World War and the troubled histories of some university honourees and benefactors call into question the boundaries of time, as well as space. Robert hopes to better understand how contemporary managers understand – and should understand – managerial responsibilities during this age of blurring boundaries.*

New Full Professors Schulich faculty members are leading scholars from the world’s best universities.

Their award-winning research is recognized globally. Three members of Schulich’s faculty have recently been advanced in position from Associate Professor to Professor.

Burkard Eberlein Burkard Eberlein is a Professor of Strategic Management / Policy at the Schulich School of Business and a member of the Graduate Faculty of Political Science.

He has established a global reputation as a regulatory governance scholar and his work has been very well-cited in several academic fields.

BURKARD EBE RLEIN Professor of Strategic Management / Policy

Research Keywords • Public Policy • International Governance • Government Relations • Sustainability • Corporate Social Responsibility

Burkard’s current research lies at the intersection of public policy, business, and global governance and revolves around improving the social and environmental conditions of global production. The focus is on transnational regulatory arrangements to govern global business conduct along complex value chains. A key question is: to which extent are these hybrid arrangements, which bring together governments, firms, and civil society organizations, effective and legitimate regulatory avenues to improving business practices? More broadly, Burkard is keen to advance the study of the relationship between business and politics.

Previously, Burkard has made major contributions to comparative public policy and EU studies, for example as co-editor of the first book comparing Canadian and German energy policies, and by pioneering the study of transnational regulatory networks as a novel form of EU governance.

Trained as a political scientist, Burkard has always been drawn to crossdisciplinary, boundary-spanning research.

For example, he has collaborated with accounting colleagues to study the

process of setting global standards for corporate reporting, and with legal scholars to investigate the interaction between traditional state law and regulation and new forms of non-state business regulation.

Various agencies have supported his research: The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) of Canada, the EU, the German Research Foundation, and the Hague Institute for the Internationalisation of Law (Netherlands), have all funded Burkard’s work. More recently, Burkard has been co-leading a major network grant, funded by the SSHRC, on transnational business governance interactions.

He has held a visiting scholar position at the Hertie School of Governance in Berlin, a top global public policy school, as well as a visiting research professorship at the University of Konstanz in Germany.

Since first joining York as a visiting professor from Germany in 2003, Burkard has taught in the Schulich PhD, MBA, and BBA programs, as well as in German and European Studies, and Political Science at York.

Beyond academia, Burkard’s work has attracted broad media interest, including The New York Times, The Globe and Mail, CTV and TVO. He also contributes to public life by serving as Senior Advisor on the Advisory Panel of the Auditor General of Ontario.*

Data-centric Decision Supports for Large-scale Social Network Management Principal Investigator: Zhepeng (Lionel) Li

ZHEPENG (L IO N E L ) L I Assistant Professor of Operations Management and Information Systems

Lionel Li’s research is featured by applying and reinventing Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods to address business problems, such as intelligent recommendations, targeted marketing, and FinTech. Lately, he has moved into exploring quantum machine learning and its applications to optimization, prediction, detection, and personalization problems. Lionel has been serving as a Principal Investigator for an NSERC Discovery Grant on data-centric large-scale social network management and has received the INFORMS Design Science Award for Business AI studies in social network analytics.

Growing opportunities in digital information lead to changes in decision-making. Managers are embracing approaches that are unprecedented in their central focus on data. Data-based decision making provides cutting-edge analytical tools at many levels that create opportunities to re-invent managerial machinery. Despite the bright future, a big hurdle lies in how quickly effective decisionmaking can adapt to incoming Big Data when decision space and data sources are both at a massive scale. Given acceptable efficacy, scalability arises as a more challenging issue that warrants promising research efforts. This gap warrants extensive study on business AI methods.

On the one hand, the performance of traditional techniques that seek for a theoretical optimum deteriorates severely as the problem dimensionality scales up and data size increases; on the other hand, more and more business decision problems are facing heterogeneous units at a much finer granularity, which lead to prohibitive decision space and a large scale of associated data. For example, decisionmaking for personalization, recommendation, and target marketing tasks are easily dealing with millions of interdependent individuals and/or items, at which scale traditional optimization techniques are often bounded intractable. To address this discrepancy, novel data-centric approaches (i.e., machine learning techniques) are favoured due to their generalizability and efficiency in excessive decision scenarios, such as large-scale networks.

The project has significant applications within the academic, business, and government sectors.

For research considerations, data-centric optimizations, in addition to their decision process-driven counterparts, provide flexible approximation to decision making on a massive scale. With the proliferation of social media and the internet of things, business and government services now have access to the interactions among humans, organizations, and even items as a network. This study would apply to problems, such as financial market analysis, fraud detection, linkage forecasting, and strategic network building, which address relevant business interests, including target marketing, personalization, and recommendations. The findings of the research stream would further contribute to related areas, such as pharmaceutical/genetic studies and computational sociology.*

Dynamic Group Scheduling: Theory and Applications Principal Investigator: Adam Diamant Adam Diamant’s research introduces a mathematical framework for modeling large-scale systems where a decision-maker must repeatedly assign tasks, with different work requirements, to a collection of workers.

The difficulty lies in the effect these tasks have on the worker, i.e., the whole is not equal to the sum of the effects of each task. Practical-sized problems are too large to be solved exactly and thus, it is customary to focus on suboptimal decision-making policies that consider the sum of the individual effects each task has on the worker. In many instances, this results in decisions that are far from optimal. One such example lies in the field of health care, where patients arriving over time must be assigned to a collection of home care workers. Adam developed an optimal scheduling framework that incorporates many industry-specific factors, including a patient’s health requirement, the time per visit, the expected number of visits they will need, and consistency in personnel. In particular, the methodology considers the daily travel time of a home care worker, which is highly sensitive to the panel of patients they are currently serving, the set of new patients that are assigned, and patients they may be assigned in the future.*

Does A Strong Corporate Culture Create Shareholder Value?

Principal Investigator: Ming Dong

MING DONG Associate Professor of Finance

Corporate culture is widely recognized as a source of value by corporate leaders. A recent survey indicates that over 90% of executives believe that improving their firm’s culture will increase firm value. However, there is only scant academic literature that examines the effect of corporate culture on firm value, mainly because corporate culture is intangible and difficult to quantify.

This research aims to address the challenge in measuring corporate culture and empirically test whether a strong corporate culture creates shareholder value. Ming Dong plans to use a novel measure of corporate culture, focusing on one aspect: flexibility. He will collect job reviews, posted by current and former employees, from a publicly available career intelligence website. He will perform textual analysis on these reviews and compute the frequency of words that are associated with flexibility. Aggregating the review-level frequencies by firms, Ming will obtain a time-varying measure of the corporate flexibility culture for each firm. He will measure firm value creation by stock returns and empirically confirm the theorized positive relation between a strong corporate culture and firm value. He will then assess whether the benefits of flexibility are particularly strong in uncertain economic environments.*

Demographics and Innovation Principal Investigator: Ambrus Kecskés

AMB R U S K E C S K É S Associate Professor of Finance

Younger labour forces produce more innovation. Ambrus Kecskés establishes this using the native-born labour force projected, based on local historical births in the U.S. Ambrus uses three successive levels of analysis – commuting zones, firms, and inventors – to eliminate or examine effects such as firm and inventor life cycles. He also finds that innovation activities reflect the innovative characteristics of younger labour forces, and firms in younger labour markets have higher valuations. His results indicate that younger people as a group – inventors interacting with non-inventors – produce more innovation through the labour supply channel rather than through a financing supply or consumer demand channel.

This study offers ready policy prescriptions for the demographic challenges confronting most countries in the world today. The study finds that not only do younger labour forces produce more innovation, they also create more wealth. The findings provide support for at least three types of public policies that can counter the effects of an aging population: improving the education and training of the native-born population; encouraging young and skilled immigration; and incentivizing domestic population growth.* SSHRC INSIGHT DEVELOPMENT GR ANT

Short Interest and Investment Principal Investigator: Yelena Larkin

Y E L E N A L AR K IN Assistant Professor of Finance

This project evaluates the role of sophisticated investors, such as short sellers, in corporate investment decisions. Although short-selling is considered controversial, the scope of its activity in the United States has quadrupled over the past 30 years, and various countries around the world have passed regulations permitting short-selling as part of trading activity on their local stock exchanges.

The main hypothesis of this project is that the presence of sophisticated investors such as short sellers can benefit the firm and lead to more efficient investment decisions. Existing literature provides ample evidence on how short-selling activity is related to stock prices. Yet, little is known on whether short sellers play a role in shaping the real activity of firms, in particular corporate investments. This project is one of the first ones in the literature to examine this link.

The benefits of short-selling activity stem from the premise that short sellers possess information regarding the firm’s future. As a result, an increase in short-seller activity can potentially indicate a negative view of investors on the company’s prospects that might induce managers to take a corrective action and reduce investment.* SSHRC INSIGHT GR ANT

Construal of Trust and Suspicion in Marketing Contexts Principal Investigator: Peter Darke

P E T E R DAR K E Professor of Marketing

The birth of online retail was heralded as leveling the playing field for small and large businesses, as well as for providing consumers with access to more sellers, better information, and lower prices. However, the current reality is quite different in that the online channel is dominated by big brands, most of which also have a substantial bricks-and-mortar presence. Moreover, consumers are often willing to pay substantial premiums to brand name retailers online, even when smaller online sellers offer identical products for less.

Why is reality so different from what was anticipated? While many factors are likely involved, one central explanation is almost certainly that consumers are highly suspicious when making online purchases, and seek the comfort of larger, better-established firms as a result. The funded research identifies the role of psychological distance in consumer judgments of trust and distrust during online marketing interactions and identifies a number of theory-based marketing strategies that can be used to suppress, avoid, or even reverse the negative effects psychological distance can have on trust, without the need to build a chain of local physical stores or a trusted brand image.* Spotlight on Research 2018 51

Openacity: Artificial Intelligence, Corporate Accountability and Public Understanding Principal Investigator: Dirk Matten

D I R K MAT T E N Professor of Strategic Management / Policy; Hewlett-Packard Chair in Corporate Social Responsibility

Dirk Matten and his team’s proposed research will show how corporations and their networks are currently shaping, and proposing to account for, society’s understanding of Artificial Intelligence’s (AI’s) perilous possibilities. On a theoretical level, they develop the “openacity framework” that will help quickly and rigorously explicate the manner in which AI interfaces can be more or less open and characterized by more or less opacity (hence they coined this term “openacity”). Their empirical objective is to explain the importance of the policies and practices of corporations and associated networks with key interests in open-source AI. The pilot study that Dirk and his team have conducted as part of this proposal’s development suggests that they will include the corporations and associate networks on AI as part of their empirical investigation.

The final objective of the proposed research is a function of theoretical and empirical objectives complementing each other. It relates to the continuing need for a fuller understanding of the political and social importance of corporations. Whereas much of the literature conceives of the political and social importance of corporate policies and practices reactively – e.g., as responses to legitimacy crises, as responses to state-centric governance failures – Dirk and his team aim to show that corporations are also of much more proactive social and political importance. In short, they aim to show how corporations are playing an active role in creating the norms and values that will potentially play a key role in the future development of AI.* SSHRC INSIGHT GR ANT

National Pensions, Investment Policies, and Financial Markets: Evidence from Canada and around the World Principal Investigator: Lilian Ng

L I L I A N NG Professor of Finance; Scotiabank Chair in International Finance

52 Schulich School of Business

Lilian Ng’s proposed research will provide a comprehensive comparison of the investment policies of national pension reserve funds (NPRF) between Canada and 20 developed and developing countries.

The investment objectives and investment policies of national pension funds differ vastly across countries. For example, Spain, Belgium, and the U.S. can only invest their NPRFs in fixed income securities (typically government bonds); Japan and many European countries invest in both fixed income securities and equities; and Canada, Australia, and New Zealand allocate a substantial portion of assets to private equity funds and hedge funds. Based on the aggregate asset allocation data, Lillian then examines the asset allocation decisions of NPRFs across different asset types (i.e., equities, fixed income securities, and alternative investments), and between domestic and foreign markets and studies the underlying economic and financial factors driving their differences. Finally, Lillian will study whether the investment practices of these funds have any valuation effects at the asset class level and at the individual security level. Specifically, she will test whether and how investment activities of NPRFs affect the important properties of financial markets, such as price efficiency, liquidity, and volatility.*

How Extreme Product Incongruity Leads Consumers to Affirm Other Consumption-Relevant Knowledge Structures Principal Investigator: Theodore Noseworthy

T HE O D O R E NOS E WORTH Y Associate Professor of Marketing; Canada Research Chair in Entrepreneurial Innovation and the Public Good

To date, scholars and practitioners in the area of product design and innovation have focused extensively on the likelihood of consumers adopting radical product innovations. However, a distinct body of research suggests there may be more to the story. It seems that people strive to maintain existing beliefs. An interesting finding from this literature is that when a belief is sufficiently threatened, people will compensate by affirming other established beliefs, even in unrelated domains. For example, one study found that reading an incoherent story can lead people to more strongly affirm their cultural identity. In the proposed research, Theodore Noseworthy will investigate the analogous notion that new products that challenge existing beliefs can cause people to affirm their cultural identity via nationalistic preference, morality via “green” consumerism, and even social standing via conspicuous brand signaling.

Should the findings manifest as expected, they would have significant implications for researchers and firms engaging in product design and innovation. First and foremost, the results would demonstrate that radical innovation can cause consumers to affirm other beliefs that may have direct and immediate implications for the firm.*

The Changing Global Landscape of Management Consulting: Exploring the Rise of India Principal Investigator: Matthias Kipping

MAT T H IAS K IP P IN G Professor of Strategic Management / Policy; Richard E. Waugh Chair in Business History

Over the past century, management consultants have come to define “best practices” and their application. They also became favourite employers of graduates everywhere. Since its inception, the industry has been dominated by firms of Western, namely US, origin. But over the last two decades its centre of gravity has gradually been shifting to India, where firms such as Accenture, Cognizant, Deloitte or Canada’s CGI are now employing tens, even hundreds of thousands of consultants. At the same time, Indian consulting firms led by Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Wipro are now offering an increasing range of services on a global scale.

This project examines the recent and ongoing rise of India as a global hub for management consulting activities by systematically examining: (i) the factors and actors behind these developments, (ii) the strategies of Western and Indian firms in leveraging their presence in India, and (iii) the organization of operations and life worlds of consultants there. Research takes place both in Canada and in India and draws on a wide range of approaches and sources, including interviews, a questionnaire survey, and an analysis of social media postings.*

Indigenous Social Entrepreneurship: A Co-generated Approach Principal Investigator: Irene Henriques

I R E N E H E NR IQ U E S Professor of Economics & Sustainability

Irene Henriques’s cross-Canada research team seeks to build an aspirational Indigenous social entrepreneurship framework. Their framework is based on the co-generation and co-creation of knowledge and experiences whereby the Indigenous world view of cooperation, community, sustainability, sense of place and a generational perspective, and the entrepreneurial Western perspective are synthesized so as to derive a more complete and inclusive understanding of entrepreneurial processes. Such a new perspective requires all stakeholders to the entrepreneurial activity, including Indigenous communities, Indigenous social entrepreneurs, the financial and business sector, governments and non-governmental agencies to share experiences and co-generate/co-create an entrepreneurship framework. They seek to incorporate these values, and lay bare tensions between private and collective rights, the needs of the individual and those of the community and economic valuation and Indigenous valuation, so as to inform not only Indigenous entrepreneurship but non-Indigenous entrepreneurship as well. The interest in her team’s research will be significant, spanning a wide range of topics and activities of Indigenous communities, Elders, youth, governments, policy makers, financial institutions, individual entrepreneurial practitioners and academics.* SSHRC INSIGHT GR ANT

Reshaping Entrepreneurship as a Tool for Poverty Alleviation Principal Investigator: Geoffrey Kistruck

GEOFFREY KISTRUCK Associate Professor of Entrepreneurial Studies; Ron Binns Chair in Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship is increasingly heralded as fundamental to alleviating poverty, and many development organizations have undertaken large scale and costly entrepreneurial training initiatives. While these efforts have had some success, the resulting entrepreneurial activity has been largely imitative rather than innovative – activities that replicate existing businesses in their communities, rather than identify “new means/ends relationships”. The objective of this research is to collaborate with the Tanzanian Social Action Fund (TASAF) and the University of Dar es Salaam Business School (UDBS) to design and test modifications to TASAF’s entrepreneurial training programs. More specifically, Geoffrey plans to conduct three longitudinal field experiments designed to foster greater innovation at each stage of the entrepreneurship process: opportunity identification (seeing innovative opportunities), opportunity exploitation (acting on innovative opportunities), and growth (increasing the scope or scale of innovative opportunities). From a theoretical perspective, his goal is to explore how characteristics that are most salient within the chosen setting alter current explanations of causal relationships in the field of entrepreneurship more broadly.

From a practical perspective, not only will the project directly impact TASAF’s targeted beneficiaries across 25 different regions in Tanzania, but potentially millions more throughout Africa and around the world who receive entrepreneurship training from similar organizations.* SSHRC INSIGHT GRANT

The Effect of Technology on Auditors’ Professional Judgement Principal Investigator: Linda Thorne

LINDA THORNE Professor of Accounting

54 Schulich School of Business

Perhaps the most significant factor rapidly changing the way professional accountants perform their work is the increased reliance of the accounting profession on technology. Credible media reports suggest that by 2030, 40% to 90% of all accounting functions will be replaced by technology. Most of the evidence points to the benefits of increasing reliance on technology, as this facilitates long-distance communication and standardizes work procedures, thereby increasing decision accuracy and lowering the costs of doing business. There are, however, potential drawbacks associated with technology use that threaten the quality of auditors’ professional judgement. For instance, excessive reliance on technology can have detrimental impacts on staff training and development. Similarly, applying standardized decision protocols that may not apply to unique or new decision contexts mitigates their benefits. Most alarmingly, excessive reliance on technology may result in professional accountants’ abdication of responsibility which, in turn, undermines their ethical obligation to the public. With these factors in mind, Linda Thorne’s research team aims to understand how to best ensure accountants’ professional judgement adheres to high ethical standards in a technically advanced world.

Interest Rates, Monetary Policy and Economic Policy Uncertainty, and Banks’ Financial Reporting Quality Principal Investigator: Kiridaran Kanagaretnam

K IR ID A R A N K A N A G A R E T NAM Professor of Accounting

In this research project, Kiridaran Kanagaretnam explores some explanations for historically low interest rates and their impact on banks’ operating and financial performance. Kiridaran starts by examining factors that affect interest rates. In particular, there is scarce evidence relating policy uncertainty to interest rates. Indeed, economic and monetary policies have become very discretionary and unpredictable since the year 2000, a period that coincides with historically low interest rates. Given this, he explores whether and how economic policy uncertainty and monetary policy uncertainty is associated with low interest rates. Next, he studies the implications of interest rates for cross-sectional differences in banks’ operating and financial reporting behaviours. More specifically, he will study how interest rates influence bank income composition. He will then examine whether interest rates affect bank-funding structure (e.g., retail deposits versus wholesale funds). Kiridaran will also investigate if low interest rates induce higher bank risk-taking behaviours. Finally, he will explore whether and how interest rates influence banks’ financial reporting quality.* ONTARIO CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE

Blockchain-Enabled Smart Energy Micro-Grids for Transactive Energy Marketplaces Principal Investigator: Henry Kim

H E NRY K IM Associate Professor of Operations Management and Information Systems

Aggressive climate change goals have forced the energy industry to look for solutions that will restructure the current power system into one that is more resilient, sustainable, and efficient. Transactional energy marketplaces represent a relatively new concept that seeks to address these needs. In a transactional marketplace, energy producers are directly linked to energy consumers, meaning that a central authority no longer needs to facilitate their local transactions. So, excess renewable energy such as wind or solar produced by one building, can be directly bought by a neighbouring building. Schulich’s BlockchainLab, along with Hero Engineering and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), are collaborating on research toward an innovative solution that enables a decentralized transactive energy exchange system built using blockchain technologies – an online distributed ledger mechanism that underpins networks like the Bitcoin network where transfer of value can be facilitated peer-to-peer without a central intermediary. Not only does this type of decentralized approach increase energy efficiency, but it also incentivizes an energy market participant to consume and produce local renewable energy.

Henry’s research on Blockchain technologies has also earned funding for two other projects: • Applying Deep Neural Networks for Blockchain Interoperability I (Ontario Centre of Excellence) • Applying Deep Neural Networks for Blockchain Interoperability II (National Research Council Industrial Research Assistance Program).*

Beyond Environmental Building Certification: The Impact of Environmental Interventions on Commercial Real Estate Operations Principal Investigator: Avis Devine

AV I S DE V INE Associate Professor of Real Estate and Infrastructure

Important questions, such as those surrounding environmental sustainability, can encourage collaboration amongst government, industry, and academia – and this project is doing just that. As real estate is both the largest user of natural resources and creator of greenhouse gas emissions, the focus on “greening” real estate has become a key research area. Existing studies frequently examine the impact of green building certification programs on commercial real estate revenues, but revenues are only one piece of the puzzle. This study provides a unique perspective by investigating how sustainable and energy efficient-focused interventions impact building operations, and their financial impact. Using a proprietary database of U.S. and Canadian commercial real estate, Avis’ research team investigates the impact of both green building certification and environmentally-related capital expenditures (“hard interventions”) on operating performance, but also environmental engagement (education, encouragement) with both property managers and tenants (“soft interventions”). These engagement activities seek to modify building user and management behaviour, and the researchers test for connections between changes in behaviour and expense line items that have real impacts on both the environmental and financial bottom lines.* C HINESE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION

Schulich Fellowship in Research Achievement – 2017 Moshe A. Milevsky

MOSHE A. MILEVS KY Professor of Finance

Against a backdrop of increasing human longevity, low interest rates and concerns over the sustainability of public pensions, there is a growing body of medical evidence suggesting that an individual’s true age can be measured more accurately using biomarkers of aging, including something called telomere length, which is the protective ends of chromosomes.

Furthermore, this biological age can diverge by as much as 10 to 15 years from chronological age as measured by calendar years. Practically speaking, a 65-year-old retiree or pensioner might be considered as young as 50 or as old as 80 when measured in terms of forward-looking mortality and longevity rates.

And, while the technology to accurately estimate biological age is still being refined – and biomarkers of aging other than telomeres might emerge triumphant – this new science does raise the possibility that consumers will soon have access to a “new age”. This would be a number – perhaps on an iPhone or other wearable

Linda Thorne

LINDA THORNE Professor of Accounting

58 Schulich School of Business

Linda Thorne has been involved in several projects with various research teams, all focusing on accounting ethics and the ethics of accountants, primarily from a behavioural perspective. First, she worked with a team from the University of Waterloo Centre of Accounting Ethics and the Journal of Business Ethics to compile the results of a symposium investigating the effect of the Sarbanes Oxley Act (Sox), 15 years after its adoption, on the ethical actions and behaviours of auditors and managers.

Surprisingly, the findings presented at the symposium reveal that Sox has resulted in a more positive ethical climate in organizations due to an increase in financial transparency and stronger internal controls.

Secondly, Linda’s research team has spent substantial effort investigating the influence of President Trump’s non-disclosure of his tax returns on taxpayers’ compliance.

They find that taxpayers’ compliance is a function of whether or not they voted for President Trump in the recent US election.

Most interestingly, they discover anti-role modelling in taxpayers that did NOT vote for

piece of clothing – that is obviously more relevant to wealth management and retirement planning than chronological age. In fact, it’s not inconceivable that chronological age will take a back seat to biological age in the public discourse around pension policy. On a societal level, it might be optimal to subordinate retirement policy to biological age instead of chronological age. In other words, as an alternative to extending or increasing pension eligibility ages – which has its own political problems and fears of redistribution – perhaps everyone should be allowed to retire and draw their pension at the biological age of 65. Might it be perceived as more equitable?

In this research project Moshe investigates the economic and financial impact of using your biological age – versus chronological age – for retirement and pension policy. Moshe is also preparing a book manuscript summarizing the work, titled: The Retirement of Age: Why Pension Policy Should be based on Biology and not Chronology, to be published by Palgrave Macmillan in early 2019.*

President Trump, as they became more likely to pay tax. In contrast, for those that supported President Trump, there was no influence of his leadership on tax compliance.

Another interesting team project attempts to understand the role of Dual Class Share Structures on firms’ Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) investments.

Their results reveal, perhaps not surprisingly, that CSR scores were lower for firms with dual class structures. This result suggests that CSR investment is primarily due to external pressure, regardless of the extensive research demonstrating the positive investment returns resulting from CSR. Finally, Linda is particularly proud of the publication of The Routledge Companion to Behavioural Accounting Research, which she co-edited with Dr. Theresa Libby. This volume provides a compilation of existing approaches used by behavioural accounting researchers for experienced and budding researchers. The volume includes 32 chapters providing an overview of the theories, methodologies and data collection techniques relied upon, and is currently being developed by Behavioural Accounting Researchers.*

Schulich Fellowship in Research Achievement – 2018 Christopher Bell

CHRISTOPHER BELL Associate Professor of Organization Studies

Chris Bell’s research project is related to envy and performance, in particular how we might maintain the envying person’s high levels of performance. Envy is typically associated with antisocial behaviours aimed at pulling down an envied high performer or undermining the team or organization.

Although we often think poorly of envious people, envy actually tends to be stronger in a person the closer his or her performance is to the high performer’s. A silver medalist is more envious than the bronze medalist because he or she looks up the podium and thinks, “That could (should!) be me”, whereas the bronze medalist looks down at everyone not on the podium and thinks, “That could have been me!” Although we want to protect the high performer we also don’t want to lose the positive contributions of the envying person. Chris’ research questions are, 1) “How does envy affect performance?” and, 2) “Can we intervene in the development of envy to maintain performance and prevent negative, counterproductive behaviours?”

Adam Diamant

ADAM DIAMA NT Assistant Professor of Operations Management and Information Systems

Adam Diamant’s research analyzes the scheduling practices of a medical clinic that serves a heterogeneous patient population; they must schedule patients to multiple assessments that are completed during several outpatient appointments. New patients have a unique medical history and have completed a detailed, clinic-specific referral form. With this information, clinic staff classify them prior to undergoing a single assessment. This classification allows physicians to set up a customized-care plan, i.e., a sequence of assessments tailored to the clinical and psychosocial needs of each individual. However, this classification is imperfect as patients may not progress through the set of assessment as predicted or may become ineligible to proceed with their care.

In this setting, the clinic wishes to maximize throughput, which represents the number of patients that complete all assessments. However, they also want to ensure that scarce health resources (e.g., practitioners, diagnostic imaging machines) are fully utilized. The uncertainty

Recent research has distinguished between two forms of envy. Benign envy resembles admiration and motivates the person to improve on performance, using the high performer as a role model. Malicious envy is closer to the more traditional conception of envy and is characterized by antisocial and destructive behaviour. What distinguishes benign and malicious envy phenomenologically is how painfully inferior the envying person feels as a result of social comparison. The closer a person believes he or she is to achieving the same rewards and recognition as the comparative high performer, the stronger the feelings of loss and self-recrimination. In his research in Canada and China, Chris found that malicious envy has a corrosive effect on motivating, positive images of the future self, for example an undergraduate’s image as a successful business professional following graduation. Benign envy, on the other hand, has a positive, supportive effect on future self images. His ongoing research will clarify how envy, through future self images, affects strategies and tactics for self-improvement following upward social comparisons.*

inherent in outpatient health care operations (i.e., no-shows, cancellations, ineligibility, rescheduling) makes achieving this objective difficult. As a result, Adam investigates scheduling strategies that aid in this challenge. Specifically, he determines how to assign referred patients to customized-care plans, so that patients receive timely medical attention early in their care while also providing operational benefits to the clinic.

Although the problem setting is quite general, the study is motivated by the Bariatric Surgery Program, a multiassessment outpatient health program in Toronto, Ontario, with ongoing issues related to no-shows, cancellations, attrition rates and poor resource utilization.

Adam’s scheduling framework proposes strategies to maximize resource utilization while also evaluating the effectiveness of various patient-centered care plans.

Managerial recommendations are obtained by solving a simple optimization model that can be used by clinic staff. Its effectiveness is demonstrated by comparing it to current practice and to the latest in deep reinforcement learning techniques.*

Schulich Fellowship in Research Achievement – 2018 Irene Henriques

IRENE HENRIQUES Professor of Economics & Sustainability

Today social media has the potential to make all stakeholders powerful. Have stakeholders gained greater influence over firm behaviour in the digital age?

Taking a cognitive perspective, the effects of the digital age on when and how stakeholders seek to influence firms, as well how they shape the outcomes of these influence efforts will be examined.

Although social media has made it easier for stakeholders to broadcast their views on any given issue, the accompanying change in quantities and qualities of information have limited stakeholder influence. Even secondary stakeholders now have the power to engage mass audiences, but the likelihood of success of any given stakeholder’s effort to alter firm behaviour has decreased amidst the torrent of information flows.

The objective is to derive a revised perspective that acknowledges the context in which stakeholder influence efforts occur and its effects on firm behaviour in the digital age.

Kiridaran Kanagaretnam

KIRIDARAN KANAGARETNAM Professor of Accounting

60 Schulich School of Business

Kiridaran Kanagaretnam plans to study the role of informal, formal and governance factors and their relative importance for financial decisions.

There is literature documenting that institutions matter for corporate decisions. Although prior empirical studies in accounting and finance have mainly focused on the implications of formal institutions such as investor protection, law enforcement, regulations, and governance structures for corporate decisions, recent research documents that informal institutions such as culture, trust and religiosity also matter. However, prior studies have not examined the relative importance of these different types of institutions for corporate decisions. The objective of this new research program is to: 1) develop theory/ predictions on the relative importance of different types of institutions for a given context; 2) develop research methodologies to test these predictions; and 3) apply the insights to study two

Irene seeks to understand the cognitive aspects related to managing, using, responding, and framing stakeholder information in the digital age. Prior research tended to focus on capacities and processes to make sense of information but in the digital age, where two-way communication is the norm, important elements of sensegiving and sensemaking need to be explored and tested. Appropriate sensegiving or framing requires firms to have the ability to define the relevant actors, shape their interests, choose the arena of conflict, sort information, and influence the assets that matter. The success of social movements in gaining adherents largely depends on the framing capabilities of these movements.

An assessment of how, when, and why such framing contests are won or lost on social media and the ability of firms to counter or dampen such influence over incipient movements/influence efforts, is needed.

Irene intends to test this revised perspective by following and measuring the outcome of firm-specific twitterstorms to determine whether the firm and industry change their behaviours.*

contemporary issues – excessive risktaking and corporate tax evasion.

Williamson’s (2000) synthesis proposes a multi-level framework to study the economics of institutions, where a higher level imposes constraints on the succeeding level. Motivated by these observations, Kiridaran argues that informal institutions which are rooted in implicit social norms are primary factors constraining value-destroying actions such as excessive risk-taking and tax evasion. In societies with high informal institutions, managers most likely avoid breaking the implicit social contract.

Following the prior literature, he argues that formal institutions and governance structures also matter for financial decisions. However, previous research also documents that interested parties can capture these institutions. Therefore, Kiridaran reasons that institutional capture by interested parties can render formal, and governance factors less effective. He predicts that formal and governance factors will be secondary to informal structures in curtailing excessive risk-taking and corporate tax evasion.*

Zhepeng (Lionel) Li

ZHEPENG (LIO NEL) LI Assistant Professor of Operations Management and Information Systems

Lionel Li’s research focuses on devising machine learning solutions for modern business problems. Specifically, he is working on forecasting user relations and predicting offline business visiting patterns from online activities.

User or customer interactions can be well-captured by social network models. An online social network, such as Facebook and LinkedIn, consists of nodes (e.g., Facebook users) and links between nodes that represent relationships (e.g., friendships) between users. Such networks are highly dynamic, and have tremendous social and economic impacts. A fundamental scientific problem is how to predict the probability that a potential link that has not been established by now will be established in future, namely the link prediction problem. Next, a question arises: can we leverage the information about the online relations and offline activities of users to predict future business hotspots? Answering this

Perry Sadorsky

PERRY SADORSKY Associate Professor of Economics

Concerns about climate change, energy security issues, recent developments in clean energy technological innovation, fossil fuel divestment and corporate social responsibility are powerful forces driving investment in clean energy. Clean energy, broadly defined as energy having almost zero pollution, is expected to account for three quarters of the $10 trillion in new global investment in electricity generation to 2040. By some estimates, clean energy along with biotechnology, artificial intelligence and information technology (the so called BEAT economy) are expected to be some of the fastestgrowing industries in the coming decades.

This research investigates the motivations and approaches to investing in clean energy and the implications of doing so, and has two main parts.

The first part looks at reasons for investing in clean energy. A comparison and contrast between these motivations and the likely outcome of these motivations on the financing of the clean energy sector is analyzed.

question has important implications in practice. Identifying popular social foci is valuable to location-based services and social advertising activities, for such knowledge offers critical insights to leveraging customer behaviours and market mobilization. Access to emerging social foci warrants decision supports in a variety of operational tasks for the purposes of demand estimation, inventory management, and quality assurance.

Lionel’s team has identified the key factors that determine the offline visiting patterns from online interactivities and how to predict the popularity of each social focus on the basis of these factors. Realistic data for experiments are collected from location-based services such as Square and Google. Evaluation results, show the outperformance of the proposed approach against state-of-art benchmarks ranges.

The proposed model and approach apply to predicting the popularity of not only physical business places but also virtual entities, such as web stores, online services, political opinions, etc.*

The second part of the research seeks to answer the question: do clean energy stocks enhance portfolio risk-adjusted returns? Adding an entire industry sector to an investment portfolio will have implications for risk and return tradeoffs because it increases diversification. Adding clean energy equities may either decrease or increase risk-adjusted returns. There could also be little difference in riskadjusted return between a portfolio with clean energy equities and one without.

This research has several important implications: 1) understanding why and how investors invest in clean energy will have implications for the short-term and long-term financing of the clean energy sector; 2) if the economic value of switching to an alternative portfolio that includes clean energy equities is positive net of trading costs then this verifies that investing in clean energy equities can be justified. If not, there may be other reasons for investing in clean energy equities.

The results from this research will be of interest to individual and institutional investors and those seeking financing for clean energy businesses and projects.* Spotlight on Research 2018 61

Gregory Saxton, Assistant Professor of Accounting, co-authored an op-ed, “Social Media Capital for Nonprofits: How to Accumulate It, Convert It, and Spend It,” published in The Nonprofit Quarterly on May 17, 2018.

“The homeless person becomes a commodity – so if that person were to go and show up at the door of another charitable organization, they would get the cash flow. They become a valuable resource.”

“Because the accumulation of social media capital requires a reciprocal relationship with their publics, it is critical for nonprofits to more clearly understand how the accumulation and mobilization of social media-based resources occur over time and how essentially interactive the entire endeavor is.”
