Robocalypse Now?: Technology and the Future of Work (September 11, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/41582 41582-9367005@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 11, 2017 4:00pm
Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Science, Technology, and Public Policy (STPP) Program

Talk summary: The process of technological displacement of workers began in the automobile industry in the 1960’s, and with the rise of connectivity and AI it is accelerating rapidly. For example, it may be no surprise, given what’s happened in the automobile industry, that the world’s first farm that is completely run by robots has just opened in Japan; or that a new robot is available for the construction industry that can lay bricks three times faster than a human. This kind of displacement of manual labor happened in previous industrial revolutions as well. More surprising, however, is the breadth of jobs that can be replaced by intelligent automation; it isn’t just manual labor that’s being replaced: even writers, for instance, are being displaced by computer software. In January, 2016, “the Associated Press (AP) revealed that [a software program called] Wordsmith has been rolling out content since July 2014 without any human intervention.” This Wordsmith software has been generating 1000 stories per month, which is “14 times more than the previous manual output of AP's reporters and editors.” In terms of sheer productivity, human writers cannot keep up with computers and robots. So what can we do as a society to compensate for technological unemployment, and to prevent the poverty, dislocation, and even violence that might follow, as it has in past industrial revolutions? My talk will present both the problems and possible short and longterm solutions to them.

Speaker Bio: Dr. Kevin LaGrandeur is Professor at the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT), specializing in technology and culture. He is also a Fellow of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technology, an international think tank, and a co-founder of the NY Posthuman Research Group and of the Visual Pathways Technology Consortium (for researching tech apps for the blind). Dr. LaGrandeur has written many articles and conference presentations on digital culture; on Artificial Intelligence and ethics; and on literature and science. His publications have appeared in journals such as Computers & Texts, Computers and the Humanities, and Science Fiction Studies; in books such as Eloquent Images: Word and Image in the Age of New Media and Beyond Artificial Intelligence: The Disappearing Human-Machine Divide, which contains his essay, ‘Emotion, Artificial Intelligence, and Ethics.’ He has also published on Artificial Intelligence, society, and ethics in popular publications such as USA Today and United Press International (UPI). His book Artificial Slaves (Routledge, 2013), about the premodern cultural history of Artificial Intelligence and its foreshadowing of today’s technology, was Awarded a 2014 Science Fiction and Technoculture Studies Prize. In April, 2017, his latest book, co-edited with James Hughes, was published. About the future of AI’s displacement of human workers and how to meet this challenge, it is titled Surviving the Machine Age: Intelligent Technology and the Transformation of Human Work.

This event is free and open to the public.

The Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications of Genetics and Newborn Screening (September 25, 2017 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/43249 43249-9748036@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 25, 2017 6:00pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Information and Technology Services (ITS)

Advances in prenatal screening and genetic manipulation have the potential to all but eliminate birth defects and genetic disorders. For example, prenatal genetic testing in Iceland has almost completely erased incidents of down’s syndrome in newborns. This has led to growing concerns over creating designer babies, hyperbole about the potential for a new era of eugenics, and broader questions about whether science is outstripping societal or ethical norms in regards to human genetic diversity.

Join Joselin Linder, author of “The Family Gene”, and Jodyn Platt, assistant professor in the U-M Medical School in a panel discussion about the ethical, legal, and social implications of genetics and newborn screening. The conversation will be moderated by Kayte Spector-Bagdady, assistant professor in the U-M Medical School and chief of the research ethics service in the Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine.

LRCCS Tuesday Lecture Series | Firms’ Strategic Use of Political Connections (October 3, 2017 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/41670 41670-9424054@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 3, 2017 11:30am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

Please note the new time and location for our 2017-18 lecture series.

We analyze Chinese listed firms to examine how a firm’s political connections in a location influence the firm’s probability of choosing the focal location to establish new subsidiaries. We find that firms are less likely to choose a politically connected location that also faces higher unemployment rates. We also find that political connections matter less for the choice of locations with more developed markets. Therefore, firms’ use of political connections is strategic and highly context dependent.

Dr. Nan Jia is an assistant professor of strategic management at the Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California. She holds a PhD in Strategic Management from the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto (Canada), and B.A. in Economics from Guanghua School of Management, Peking University (China). Her research interests include corporate political strategy, business-governance relationships, and corporate governance in international business. Her research has been published in the Administrative Science Quarterly, Management Science, Strategic Management Journal, Organizational Science, and Journal of Politics. Her work is mainly empirical, but also incorporates economic modeling. She serves on the editorial boards of the Strategic Management Journal and the Journal of International Business Studies.

About Glomb's talk:
Many of us have focused on getting a good job. But how many of us have focused on making a job good? So often at work, we bumble through our days in unintentional ways. What could happen if we were more intentional and recognized the power we have to improve our work lives?

University of Minnesota Professor Theresa Glomb is trying to help others create positive experiences at work through growth, happiness, and satisfaction. Ultimately, Theresa’s trying to make work great (or at least a little better). In this unique blend of research, personal stories, and practical disciplines, based on her TEDx talk, she shares with us simple, evidence based micro-interventions to improve our working lives.

About Glomb:
Theresa M. Glomb is the Toro Company-David M. Lilly Chair in the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota. She received her PhD in social, organizational, and individual differences psychology from the University of Illinois and her BA in psychology from DePaul University.

Her research suggests the important role of work events, mood, and micro-interventions in predicting on the job behavior and employee well-being. She has conducted field research in dozens of companies, including several Fortune 500 firms, with thousands of workers as participants. Her research uses a variety of methodologies including experience sampling, surveys, interviews, and physiological assessment.

Her work has been published in top management journals such as the Academy of Management Journal and the Journal of Applied Psychology and cited in media outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, The Economist, and Huffington Post.

Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: William Davidson Institute

The WDI Global Impact Speaker Series kicks off for the academic year by exploring the role that good supply chains play in ensuring health products reach their intended recipients in Africa and India, how technology is making a difference and why having a motivated and dedicated staff is critical. The Oct. 4 talk featuring David Sarley, senior program officer at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, also will highlight how graduating students can make a difference in global public health.

Sarley’s talk, “Primary Health Care Supply Chain Challenges and Opportunities,” will be held at 5 p.m. in Room R2220 at the Ross School of Business. It is free and open to the public.

The WDI Global Impact Speaker Series features thought leaders and practitioners who do innovative work in low- and middle-income countries. They share their experience, provoke thought, and stimulate discussion around the opportunities and challenges of international development.

Over the last five years at the Gates Foundation, Sarley has created and managed investments across multiple delivery teams tasked with strengthening supply chains, and recently joined the Innovation and Strategy team in Vaccine Delivery.

“David has a deep understanding of the needs, opportunities and challenges that many countries face ensuring that their citizens have access to a reliable supply of lifesaving health commodities,” said Michael Krautmann, senior research associate with WDI’s Healthcare Initiative, who has worked with Sarley on Gates-funded projects. “Through his work at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, David is at the forefront of technological and organizational solutions to these challenges, and his talk will be insightful for students, faculty and all those who are interested in improving global access to medicines.”

WDI has collaborated with the Gates Foundation on several projects, and Sarley served as program officer on a large healthcare project, “Developing a Common Vision of Effective and Efficient Global Health Supply Chains,” that had a number of sub-components.

One element of the large project was creating executive communications materials to increase global donors’ investment in supply chain, and convey key supply chain challenges and opportunities in global health. Another part of the project resulted in a WDI report, “Designing Global Health Supply Chains for the Future,” that proposed a series of initiatives that governments, global development agencies, and those in the private sector should undertake immediately in order to build supply chain capacity to anticipate these increasing demands in the coming decades.

WDI’s engagement with Gates also studied facilitating data-driven supply chain policy decisions by developing a model that incorporates performance tradeoffs and stakeholder priorities into formal cost effectiveness analysis. And, designing and initializing a supply chain resource center in West Africa that provides direct strategy support to governments to help transform their healthcare.

Sarley has nearly 35 years experience in investment and development in emerging markets. He has worked for 15 years in public health supply chain management, including 10 years with USAID grantee John Snow Inc. (JSI) and five at the Gates Foundation. Prior to JSI, he worked in economics consultancy for 16 years in trade, transport, finance and health economics.

You’ll hear powerful stories from your classmates and also hear from Marcus Collins, Ross alumni and professor. We will also highlight how you can perfect your own story through our retreats this year. Who knows—it could be YOU in the spotlight at a future Story Lab event!

Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

Wang Shi 王石
Founder, Vanke 万科
Lieberthal-Rogel Distinguished Visitor

No matter where life takes you, you will encounter mountains that challenge you to tackle issues from new perspectives. The art of overcoming obstacles is a prominent trademark of today’s most successful international business figures. To address this topic with details of his own personal “mountain climbing” life experiences, Ross China Initiatives and the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies is proud to welcome Mr. Wang Shi 王石 to the Ross School of Business. Of the three tallest mountains Wang has come up against, namely ascending Mt. Everest at age 52 in 2003, initiating an environmental protection program following his climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and studying at Harvard with limited exposure to English, he cites his time in Cambridge as the most demanding peak to scale. Wang’s talk will center around his strategies for approaching and overcoming life’s mountains.

In 1984, Wang Shi founded China Vanke Co., Ltd., a real estate development company. Under his leadership, Vanke has grown into one of the most successful real estate development companies in the world as well as a pioneer in China’s green home construction. In addition to his role with Vanke, Wang serves as a chairman for numerous enterprises. In 2015, he was entitled “The Most Influential Entrepreneur in China” by Hurun Rich List because of his great sense of social responsibility and international initiatives. He splits his spare time between philanthropy and involvement in the rowing community, serving as the chairman of the Asian Rowing Federation.

Mr. Wang Shi is one of the most respected business leaders in China, and it is truly an honor to welcome him to Michigan Ross. This Wednesday, October 18th, doors will open at 1:30pm. Wang’s presentation will be held from 2-3pm followed by a discussion panel and Q&A session ending at 4pm. We hope you are able to join us in listening to this distinguished speaker as he shares his inspiring experiences in the business world and beyond.

Nam Center Colloquium Series | Threat of Falling High Status and Corporate Bribery: Evidence from the Revealed Accounting Records of Two South Korean Presidents (November 1, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/45097 45097-10084363@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 1, 2017 4:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Nam Center for Korean Studies

Co-sponsored by the University of Michigan Ross School of Business

Social status and its dynamics may be an important predictor of which firms will engage in large-scale bribery. Prior theory is incomplete, however, and prior empirical studies have lacked comprehensive and reliable data on firm-level bribery decisions. We offer a new theoretical prediction and a novel data set on high-level corruption in South Korea, where the accounting records of two presidents in the 1987–1992 era were exposed to after-the-fact legal and public scrutiny. We find that, controlling for a range of alternative explanations, the threat of falling high status—that is, the combination of longstanding high social status with current-period mediocre economic performance relative to that of industry peers—is a significant predictor of increases in the amount of large-scale corporate bribery.

Jordan Siegel is an Associate Professor of Strategy and Michael R. and Mary Kay Hallman Faculty Fellow at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. Professor Siegel is also a Research Fellow at the William Davidson Institute and an Associate-in-Research at the Harvard Korea Institute of the Harvard Asia Center.

Professor Siegel specializes in the study of how companies gain competitive advantage through their global strategy. Professor Siegel finds that there are numerous opportunities for companies to attain superior sustainable corporate performance through creative strategies for corporate governance and human resource management.

Gain inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in people. Learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

About Fredriksson's talk:
It has only been 40 years since all Cambodian schools were closed and many teachers were killed. The educational system, from kindergarten to university, still suffers from the Pol Pot regime.

The high cost affiliated with sending a child to school in Cambodia makes many poor families struggle to educate their children. The students who make it through high school and enroll at university also face a number of challenges. After spending years learning by memorizing they are suddenly expected to learn by exploring and independently searching for new knowledge. This leads to significant problems with plagiarism and poor performance as well as stress and lowered self-esteem amongst students.

To support learning and wellbeing, from kindergarten to university, we need resources as well as knowledge. Private donors, companies, researchers, and educators worldwide have an important role to play in Cambodia’s development. The challenge is to embrace a holistic perspective. The current challenges are looming so large that no isolated intervention would be able to solve them. Instead we need mindful engagement where every stakeholder gets the best possible information to make a useful contribution.

In the talk, Evelina will share her experience of creating a positive setting for learning and growth. She will talk about how the practice of mindful engagement and the strengths of gratitude, teamwork and creativity pave the way forward; regardless if the task at hand is making sure that a 7-year-old has enough nutrition to focus in class, preventing a 15-year-old from dropping out of school to work in a factory, or supporting a 21-year-old university student who didn’t sleep for days anxious about an approaching deadline.

About Fredriksson:
Evelina is an educator, consultant, journalist, and author. She works with People Improvement Organization Cambodia, serves on the board of the knowledge lab Inter Business Initiative, is the co-founder of the boutique consultancy Lumen Behavior, and teaches at Zaman University Cambodia and Paññāsāstra University of Cambodia.

Evelina has extensive experience with sustainability reporting and applied research. Her main area of expertise is children’s and women’s rights. She recently published a book based on interviews with girls and women in Phnom Penh and is currently conducting research about signature strengths amongst Cambodian students.

Over the years, Evelina has conducted research and has been writing about vulnerable children and women in, for example, Sweden, Cambodia, the Gambia, India, Senegal, Kazakhstan, and Zimbabwe. Evelina developed the grant making strategy for the family foundation Stenbeck Stiftelse that caters to children in need, as well as leading the Reach for Change Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), which was one of the first GRI reports published globally for civil society organizations. Evelina was also responsible for the design, implementation, and PR for one of the most standard Save the Children assessment tools for young people in Sweden.

Hosts:
Jane Dutton, co-founder of the Center for Positive Organizations; Robert L. Kahn Distinguished University Professor Emerita of Business Administration and Psychology and Michael Gordon, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Social Entrepreneurial Studies

WDI Global Impact Speaker Series (November 15, 2017 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/46158 46158-10407014@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 15, 2017 5:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: William Davidson Institute

WDI welcomes Maria Cavalcanti, president and CEO of Pro Mujer – a nonprofit finance organization that has disbursed more than $3 billion in loans to mainly women-owned enterprises in Latin America – to its Global Impact Speaker Series at the University of Michigan next month.

Cavalcanti will discuss Pro Mujer’s business model, which is centered on gender equity, and take questions from attendees beginning at 5:30 p.m., Nov. 15 in room 1560 of Blau Hall at the Ross School of Business. The event is free and open to the public.

Pro Mujer was founded by Lynne Patterson and Carmen Velasco in Bolivia in 1990 to use microloans to support women-owned businesses. Today, the organization works with entrepreneurs in that country as well as Argentina, México, Nicaragua and Peru. In 2015 alone, Pro Mujer reported providing $330 million in loans to more than 250,000 clients. Operating mainly in urban areas and regions just outside major cities, Pro Mujer also provides direct and indirect health care services through a series of centers and clinics. Services include non-communicable disease detection, dental care and ultrasound diagnostics.

Cavalcanti In early 2016, Cavalcanti was named president and CEO of Pro Mujer. She has ambitious plans to expand the organization.

“As we look ahead, we are focused on amplifying our services and expanding our footprint,” Cavalcanti said in an interview with NextBillion.net, WDI’s affiliated media site focused on business solutions in low- and middle-income economies. “By leveraging partnerships and technology, we are building Pro Mujer as a platform capable of serving millions at a time; a one-stop shop for empowerment for women in the region.”

Cavalcanti holds an MBA from the University of Texas in Austin, a master of science in Information Science from Columbia University in New York, and a bachelor of arts from Universidade Federal do Ceará in Brazil. She is based in New York City, where Pro Mujer is headquartered.

How can regulators and market participants balance the benefits of FinTech against potential risks?

Federal Reserve Governor will deliver a keynote address at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Nearly 30 private sector innovators, public sector change makers, academic experts and senior government offiicals will join her over the two-day period.

This two-day event will bring together a wide range of researchers, policymakers, students, and
practitioners from various disciplines.

Financial technology, or FinTech, can be traced back to the introduction of the telegraph in the 1860s. Between then and the 1980s, most FinTech advancements were record-keeping and data systems found in the back offices of financial institutions, out of sight of the public. As internet technology became more available, however, FinTech evolved rapidly. Financial firms digitized their processes, and companies began introducing consumer-facing products such as online banking and PayPal.

Today, FinTech continues to disrupt and to evolve, not only in how financial products and services are delivered, but who delivers them. Regulators and market participants face challenges in
understanding and balancing the benefits of FinTech against potential risks. Innovation helps catalyze growth and new opportunities while generating new risks. Regulatory structures in place could fail to accommodate changes in the financial marketplace. Regulators may overreact to new technologies, stifling innovation and locking in old forms of doing business. At the same time, regulatory complacency can have disastrous results, permitting the buildup of systemic risk or widespread consumer harms.

This conference will explore methodologies that the private sector, researchers, and policymakers
can use harness the upside potential of financial innovation while reducing the downside risks.

Experimental Evidence on the Economics of Rural electrification (November 16, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/45501 45501-10197992@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 16, 2017 4:00pm
Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Economic Development Seminar

We present results from an experiment that randomized the expansion of electric grid infrastructure in rural Kenya. Electricity distribution is the canonical example of a natural monopoly. Randomized price offers show that demand for electricity connections falls sharply with price. Experimental variation in the number of connections, combined with administrative cost data, reveals considerable scale economies, as hypothesized. However, consumer surplus is far less than total construction costs at all price levels. Moreover, we do not find meaningful medium-run impacts on economic, health, and educational outcomes, nor evidence of spillovers to unconnected local households. These results suggest that current efforts to increase residential electrification in rural Kenya may reduce social welfare. We discuss how leakage of funds, reduced demand (due to red tape, low reliability, and credit constraints), and other factors may impact this conclusion

Gain inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in people. Learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

About Quinn's talk:
Warren Bennis wrote that becoming a leader is becoming who you really are. Research shows, counter to conventional thought, that people of transformative power develop a characteristic called idealized influence. They become models worthy of admiration, respect, trust, and emulation. They live from a moral core that generates attractive power. Without authority, they can draw the best out of others. Conventional assumptions prevent us from seeing, understanding or aspiring to this condition.

This limitation constrains organizational efforts in leadership development. Organizations cannot do what they spend much money trying to do. They can develop managers but they cannot develop leaders. This means we have to own our own leadership development. This session will explore how to become who you really are and how to help those around you to do the same.

About Quinn:
Robert E. Quinn is the Margaret Elliot Tracy Professor Emeritus of Business Administration at the University of Michigan. Quinn is one of the co-founders of the field of Positive Organizational Scholarship, an area of inquiry that seeks to understand the best of the human condition. He had published eighteen books on purpose, leadership, and change. He is a fellow of the Academy of Management and has received multiple awards for both teaching and research.

Host:
Gretchen Spreitzer, faculty director of the Center for Positive Organizations; Keith E. and Valerie J. Alessi Professor of Business Administration; Professor of Management and Organizations

Sponsors:
The Center for Positive Organizations thanks Sanger Leadership Center, Tauber Institute for Global Operations, Samuel Zell & Robert H. Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies, and Diane (BA ’73) and Paul (MBA ‘75) Jones for their support of the 2017-18 Positive Links Speaker Series.

The Positive Links Speaker Series, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations, offers inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in its people. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

Positive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross, and are free and open to the public.

About the talk:
We live in a world of extraordinary pain and suffering. Public confidence in major corporations is at an all-time low. Why? Too many businesses exploit their people and harm their communities for short-term profit. If we are not consciously part of the healing, we are probably part of the hurting. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Business can become the primary agent for healing society. This is not about healing businesses; it is about business as healing. Business can take wounded people, broken communities, and damaged ecosystems and make them whole again – and businesses that operate in this way will be more successful and profitable over time. In this session, Sisodia will share stories of such businesses and extract lessons from them.

About Sisodia:
Raj Sisodia is the FW Olin Distinguished Professor of Global Business and Whole Foods Market Research Scholar in Conscious Capitalism at Babson College. He is also Co-Founder and Chairman Emeritus of Conscious Capitalism Inc.

He has a PhD in Marketing from Columbia University. Raj has published ten books and over 100 academic articles. His books include Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business, Firms of Endearment: How World Class Companies Profit from Passion and Purpose, Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family, and Shakti Leadership: Embracing the Feminine and Masculine Future of Business. He is on the Board of Directors at The Container Store, and a trustee of Conscious Capitalism Inc.

In addition, he was a co-founder of the Transdisciplinary Media Studio and the Aggregate Architectural History Collaborative, which focus on the ways that history and practice of architecture and urbanism are understood and taught. His ongoing research explores how architecture mediates power by forming civil society, shaping social relationships, and regulating consumption. In Crystal and Arabesque: Claude Bragdon, Ornament, and Modern Architecture (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2009) he reconstructed the techniques through which American modernist architects engaged new media, audiences and problems of mass society. His work on topics ranging from ornament and organicism to risk management and sustainable design has appeared in many journals and essay collections, including Aggregate's essay collection Governing by Design: Architecture, Economy, and Politics in the 20th Century (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2012).

Speaker Series Welcomes Entrepreneurship Expert Bayrasli (February 6, 2018 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/49544 49544-11473477@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 6, 2018 5:00pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: William Davidson Institute

The WDI Global Impact Speaker Series will feature a professor and author who has worked with entrepreneurs around the world. She will talk about how entrepreneurship has transformed the economies of low- and middle-income countries and how these places will produce the next generation of Silicon Valley-style innovators.

Elmira Bayrasli’s talk, “Steve Jobs Lives in Pakistan: The Rise of Entrepreneurs Everywhere (and What That’s Doing to the World),” is at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 6 in room R0210 at the Ross School of Business. It is free and open to the public. A reception will follow immediately.

Bayrasli, author of “From the Other Side of the World: Extraordinary Entrepreneurs, Unlikely Places,” will discuss how entrepreneurship has taken hold globally. She is co-founder of Foreign Policy Interrupted and a professor at Bard College’s Global and International Affairs program.

“We are really excited to offer this talk by Elmira Bayrasli,” said Amy Gillett, vice president of WDI’s Education Initiative and its Entrepreneurship Development Center. “Students will hear about her vast experience in helping startups scale up in emerging markets and benefit from her great insights into the role that entrepreneurship plays in economic development.”

Bayrasli said countries such as China, Brazil, India, Turkey and Nigeria have transformed economically over the past two decades thanks, largely, to entrepreneurship. She also will talk about what this “rise of the rest” has meant for world affairs, including the election of Donald Trump.

In addition to her teaching and writing, Bayrasli once served as chief spokesperson for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Mission while living in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. From 1994-2000, Bayrasli was a presidential appointee at the U.S. State Department, working for then-U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and U.S. Diplomat Richard Holbrooke.

She is a regular contributor on global entrepreneurship for the online publication TechCrunch. She also provides analysis on foreign policy, particularly on Turkey. Her work has appeared in Reuters, Foreign Affairs, Washington Post, Fortune, Forbes, CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times. Bayrasli sits on several boards, including Invest2Innovate, Turkish Women’s International Network and Our Secure Future.

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

Positive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross, and are free and open to the public.

About the talk:
As the world gets smaller, people with different cultural backgrounds are colliding like never before. A root cause of many everyday tensions between genders, races, and social classes is the clash between the values and practices of independence and those of interdependence. Drawing from her book, Clash! How to Thrive in a Multicultural World, Markus will show how recognizing and including interdependence within workplace culture cycles can bridge divides and enhance individual motivation, creativity, and performance.

About Markus:
Hazel Rose Markus is Professor of Psychology and Davis-Brack Professor in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. She is also co-director of SPARQ: Social Psychological Answers to Real-world Questions. Her research focuses on how culture shapes mind and behavior. She examines how multiple forms of culture (e.g., national origin, ethnicity, race, social class, gender and occupation) influence the self, and in turn, psychological functioning, including cognition, emotion, motivation and intergroup processes.

Index funds do not always win. There are managed funds that beat the indexes, but how do you find them, research them, and compare them?

We will show you how to use Morningstar and other resources to answer these and other questions about actively managed funds while you explore how to integrate them into your portfolio. Time permitting, we will explore other web-based investment tools and investing in individual stocks.

Dale Bradenburg is a retired research professor and Bob Shaw is a director and current President of the SE Michigan Chapter of Better Investing. This study group for those 50 and over will be held on Mondays from April 2 to April 30.

​Backward stochastic​ ​differential​ ​equations extend the martingale representation theorem​ ​to the nonlinear setting. This can be seen as path-dependent counterpart of the extension​ ​from the heat equation to fully nonlinear parabolic equations in the Markov setting. This​ ​paper extends such a nonlinear representation to the context where the random variable​ ​of interest is measurable with respect to the information at a finite stopping time. We​ ​provide a complete wellposedness theory which covers the semilinear case (backward SDE),​ ​the semilinear case with obstacle (reflected backward SDE), and the fully nonlinear case​ ​(second order backward SDE).

Can a Hamburger Build World Peace? Lessons on How Food Builds Community One Plate at a Time (April 4, 2018 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/51277 51277-12032773@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 4, 2018 5:00pm

Organized By: William Davidson Institute

We are living through a revolution where food has become the medium for a generation that includes chefs as political actors, farmers as standard bearers of environmental sustainability, and businesses who have embraced the notion investment in the entire supply chain is good for the bottom line. Food has become a means for young social entrepreneurs to use their business expertise to promote social good with new apps and new inventions. But with all this excitement can food build world peace? In an age when refugees are seeking new lives, can learning to cook build back hope and respect? Through the lens of food, we can explore how this basic component of our survival is also a powerful tool to help create dialogue and encourage conversation in these turbulent times.

Johanna Mendelson Forman has built a reputation for addressing longstanding issues with new perspectives and innovative ideas. She has become one of the leading voices in the emerging movement of Social Gastronomy. Her frontline experience as a policy maker on conflict and stabilization efforts drove her interest in connecting the role of food in conflict, resulting in the creation of Conflict Cuisine®: An Introduction to War and Peace Around the Dinner Table, an interdisciplinary course she teaches at the School of International Service at American University in Washington, DC, where she is an Adjunct Professor. Mendelson Forman is also a Distinguished Fellow at the Stimson Center, where she heads the Food Security Program.

Mendelson Forman has written extensively about food and conflict and Latin America and has lectured on food-related topics at the Smithsonian Resident Associates Program, Johns Hopkins University Bologna Campus, New York University’s Washington Program and at the United States Pavilion of the 2015 World Expo in Milan, Italy. Mendelson Forman holds a J.D. from Washington College of Law at American University, a Ph.D. in Latin American history from Washington University, St. Louis, and a Master’s of International Affairs, with a certificate of Latin America studies from Columbia University in New York. She is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

​​We provide a probabilistic representations of the solution of some semi linear hyperbolic and high-order PDEs based on branching diffusion. This is a direct extension of our previous work in the context of semi linear parabolic PDEs based on the classical Mc Kean representation for KPP equations. These representations pave the way for a Monte-Carlo approximation of the solution, thus bypassing the curse of dimensionality. We illustrate the numerical implications in the context of some popular PDEs in physics such as nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation, a simplified scalar version of the Yang-Mills equation, a fourth-order nonlinear beam equation and the Gross- Pitaevskii PDE as an example of nonlinear Schr ̈odinger equations.

The Positive Links Speaker Series, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations, offers inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in its people. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

Positive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross, and are free and open to the public.

About the talk:
If you own a smartphone, you’re currently carrying as much computing power as early spaceships took to the moon. And new wearable devices promise to keep us constantly connected to the internet, anytime, anywhere. But are these amazing new technologies actually making us happier and more socially connected? In her session, Elizabeth Dunn will describe new findings from the UBC Happy Lab, showing that being constantly connected to the internet may carry hidden costs for individuals and organizations.

About Dunn:
Elizabeth Dunn is a professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of British Columbia. Dunn conducts experimental research examining how time, money, and technology shape human happiness. She is the co-author of Happy Money: The Science of Happier Spending (Simon & Schuster) with Michael Norton. Her work has appeared in top journals, with three papers published in Science, and she has given talks at PopTech! and TEDx.

She was selected as one of the “rising stars” in academia by the Chronicle of Higher Education in 2004 and was an honoree for the 2007 Mind Gym Academic Prize for pioneering work in positive psychology. In 2010, she received a New Investigator Award from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, as well as UBC’s Robert E. Knox Master Teacher Award. Her research has been featured in hundreds of media outlets around the world, including The New York Times, The Globe and Mail, The London Times, Maclean’s, Time, and CNN. Dunn is also an avid surfer and skier.
