Does Socially Responsible Investing Change Firm Behavior?
Prof. Roni MICHAELY
In recent years, the appeal of socially responsible investing (SRI) has grown significantly among investors who are not only seeking financial returns but might also be motivated by a desire to support positive social and environmental outcomes. SRI funds position themselves as instruments of driving ESG change, claiming to invest in companies with strong ESG practices. Some funds further assert that they actively work to improve the ESG behaviors of firms within their portfolios. However, a key question remains: Do these funds genuinely influence corporate behavior, or are they merely curating portfolios of companies that already demonstrate stronger ESG credentials? Heath et al. (2023) offer an in-depth examination of this issue.

If the many functions of digital social media networks could be summed up in one word, it would likely be “sharing”. Through a myriad of apps and platforms, we share our thoughts, feelings, opinions, ideas, and more – with our friends and family, with our online social circles, with strangers, and even with companies.

After you. No, really.
After you. No, really.
Prof. Jiang BIANProf. Yanbo Wang
No matter where you live or who you are, if you’ve attended school, been on a sports team, played music, or made any kind of presentation ever, there is a core memory that we all share: being chosen to go first. That sinking feeling you get when you stand up and step into the unknown and start speaking, or playing, or demonstrating, or whatever, and all eyes are on you – because you’re the first one. The quiet terror that seeps in as people begin to assess you, the judges peering at you, the knowledge that everyone else has more time to prepare than you…It stays with you forever.

To Improve Your Work Performance, Get Some Exercise
To Improve Your Work Performance, Get Some Exercise
Prof. Bonnie Hayden CHENG
Although the benefits of physical activity on general well-being are widely acknowledged, there has been a lack of research on how it impacts outcomes at work, including job performance and health. Approximately 200 employees from the UK and China participated in a 10-day study in which the authors captured self-reported and objective physical activity data (via a wearable smart band device), as well as self- and supervisor-reported work outcomes. They uncovered some noteworthy findings about daily physical activity that impact employees and organizations, as well as a few research-backed ways to reap the many benefits of increasing your physical activity.
