The strength of dynamic ties: Dynamics promote cooperation, even in static ties (September 18, 2018 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53774 53774-13459410@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 18, 2018 11:30am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: The Center for the Study of Complex Systems

One mechanism that promotes the evolution of cooperation is network dynamics, where ties can be shed and new ties formed. Yet past research has only compared networks where all ties can potentially be severed to those where none can, confounding the benefits of fully dynamic networks with the presence of dynamic ties within the network. This work accounts for the complexity of real-world networks, where some ties are more susceptible to change than others, by considering whether the presence of dynamic ties in networks promotes cooperation even among static ties. Results reveal that, in networks with both tie types, the higher rate of cooperation in dynamic ties “spills over” to those relations that are more difficult to alter, promoting cooperation even among static ties. Thus, findings demonstrate the critical role that dynamic ties play in promoting cooperation by altering behavioral outcomes even in non-dynamic relations.

Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Design + Business

Many organizations have “woken up” to the idea of design being a key business differentiator. Gone are the days when simply having the best-engineered solution would guarantee the success of a product. However, many product stakeholders today find it hard to connect the dots between the realities of business and design, and shifting design from a team function to a strategic function is still a challenge in many organizations.

In his talk, Satyam will share many of his personally hard-won insights about the relationship between business and design. He will introduce key concepts such as “Design Premium”, “Risk Mitigation”, and "Empathy Quotient” that push the conversation further on how design can (and should!) help drive business more effectively.
________________________________________________________________
About Satyam:
Satyam is Co-founder and Chief Experience Officer at UXReactor. With a design career spanning almost 2 decades, he has been the primary driver in developing a design playbook connecting the dots between design, business and engineering called “PragmaticUX” that serves as the foundation of the UXReactor practice.

His present focus is to drive impact in two major areas: firstly, to create business value through the UX design practice; and second, to help close the gap between in-house design teams and design agencies through a managed design service (think UX-as-a-service, or UXaaS). Tackling these challenges requires Satyam to draw upon his unique background as a trained engineer, designer, and business leader.

Before starting his entrepreneurial journey, Satyam served as Managing Director of Product Design at Citrix, where he played a key role in growing the product design team from 4 members to over 100+ practitioners. Prior to that, Satyam was instrumental in building PayPal’s Global Design Center in India while leading a design team in Silicon Valley. He is an alumnus of Harvard Business School’s famed General Management Program, with a Masters in Human Factors from Wright State University, and a Bachelors in Electronics Engineering from Osmania University, India.

Organized By: William Davidson Institute

How data shaped the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, how it is transforming local and global problem-solving, and the risks posed by a policy makers and a public increasingly skeptical of data will be the topic of a Oct. 1 talk co-sponsored by WDI and the Center for Value Chain Innovation.

Daniella Ballou-Aares, partner at the global advisory firm Dalberg, will give the talk, “Data Innovation for Global Problem Solving: Promise and Peril” beginning at 5 p.m. in Room R2230 at the Ross School of Business. It is open and free to the public.

Ballou-Aares will discuss if data innovations can transform how the world responds to the biggest social, economic and environmental challenges, and if data is able to bring nations, companies, and citizens together for a common cause. Conversely, she will examine whether the ability of data to influence decision-makers is on the decline, and if the impact of data innovations will be unable to address the world’s most significant development challenges.

Affirming the Self to Reduce Conflict, Stress, and Underperformance
David Sherman

Monday, October 22, 2018
4:00-5:00 p.m.
Free and open to the public.

Register: http://myumi.ch/aAK3W

Michigan Ross Campus
Ross Building
701 Tappan
Robertson Auditorium
Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1234

Positive Links:
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:
Self-affirmations can be powerful tools to attenuate threats to the self that emerge from the stressors of organizational life. When people are given opportunities to affirm core values and relationships, they are more responsive to otherwise difficult information. Drawing on decades of experimental and field studies, Sherman will present research on how, when, and why self-affirmations can lead to more adaptive outcomes, and the implications for organizational outcomes.

About Sherman:
David Sherman is a professor in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is a social and health psychologist whose research centers on how people cope with threatening events and information. He is Editor at the Personality and Social Psychology Review and is the president of the International Society for Self and Identity. Sherman’s research has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation.

Host:
Julia Lee, Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations

Eyes on the Horizon? Fragmented Elites and the Short-Term Focus of the American Corporation (October 26, 2018 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54846 54846-13645317@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 26, 2018 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

In recent years, scholars and popular commentators have expressed concerns that U.S. corporations are too focused on short-term performance, thereby undermining their long-term health and competitiveness. This paper examines how this focus on short-term strategies and performance, or short-termism, results from the dissolution of the American corporate elite network. In particular, we argue that the corporate-board interlock network traditionally served as an important collective resource that helped corporate elites to preserve their autonomy and control, mitigating short-termism. In recent years, changing board-appointment practices have fractured the board network, undermining its usefulness as a platform for collective action and exposing corporate leaders to short-term pressures. We develop and apply a cohesion metric for network managerialism, derived from theory and evidence in social-network scholarship. Using three indicators that capture short-termism earnings management and shareholder returns, we identify a structural basis for managerial short-termism that links external, network-based resources to managers’ decisions. The results highlight the benefits of the corporate elite network and illustrate unforeseen consequences of the network’s dissolution.

Organized By: William Davidson Institute

Join us in person or through Facebook Live for a Global Pitch Competition that caps off the MENA-Michigan Initiative for Global Action Through Entrepreneurship (M²GATE) program that has involved more than 500 students.

For the last 18 months, the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan has managed a virtual exchange program that paired University of Michigan, Eastern Michigan University and Wayne State University undergrads with fellow students in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and Morocco. Working together online, via chat and through streaming video workshops, each team came up with a business concept designed to tackle a social or environmental challenge in the MENA region - from youth unemployment to water access to trash pickup to soft skills development - just to name a few examples.

On Wednesday, Nov. 14, three winning teams made of both U-M and MENA students, will gather at U-M’s Ross School of Business to present their ideas to judges as part of the Global Pitch Competition. In addition to U-M students, six students from Egypt, three from Tunisia and three from Morocco will compete in the event after meeting one another in person for the first time.

The program, known as the MENA-Michigan Initiative for Global Action Through Entrepreneurship (M²GATE) is funded the U.S. State Department and the Stevens Initiative, whose namesake is the late Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador killed in 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya.

Authoring a Good Life in America: Narrative Identity and Redemptive Life Stories
Dan P. McAdams

Monday, November 19, 2018
4:00-5:00 p.m.
Free and open to the public.

Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1234

Positive Links:
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:
Beginning in the adolescent and emerging adult years, many people create stories to make sense of their lives. Narrative identity is the internalized and evolving story of the self that explains how a person has come to be the unique person he or she is becoming.

In this talk, McAdams will describe recent psychological research on narrative identity, with an emphasis on stories of personal redemption (triumphing over adversity and suffering) and their strong connections to mental health, psychological well-being, and positive societal engagement.

In various forms such as narratives of upward mobility, atonement, recovery, and personal liberation, the redemptive life stories told by American men and women today, especially in their midlife years, reprise important cultural ideals that have traditionally been associated with living a good life in America.

About McAdams:
Dan P. McAdams is the Henry Wade Rogers Professor of Psychology and Professor of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern University. Author of nearly 300 scientific articles and chapters, numerous edited volumes, and seven books, McAdams works in the areas of personality and life-span developmental psychology. His theoretical and empirical writings focus on concepts of self and identity in contemporary American society and on themes of power, intimacy, redemption, and generativity across the adult life course.

McAdams is the author most recently of The Art and Science of Personality Development and The Redemptive Self: Stories Americans Live By. He also wrote a psychological biography entitled George W. Bush and the Redemptive Dream: A Psychological Portrait. In 2016, The Atlantic commissioned him to write an extended psychological essay on the life and mind of Donald J. Trump, which appeared as the cover article for the June 2016 issue of that magazine.

Host:
Julia Lee, Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations

Sponsors:
The Center for Positive Organizations thanks University of Michigan Organizational Learning, Sanger Leadership Center, Tauber Institute for Global Operations, Samuel Zell & Robert H.

LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Bureaucrats, Business, and the Manipulating of Capitalism in China (November 20, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/52916 52916-13142326@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 20, 2018 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

Although China is a global manufacturing titan, the "made in China" model has begun to wane. Starting in the 2000s, China shifted from attracting foreign investment to promoting domestic firms. This shift led city bureaucrats to compete for funding and tax breaks to benefit their business clients. While bureaucrats in some cities successfully motivated local businesses to upgrade, others deprived businesses of their developmental space. With 18 months of in-depth interviews, original surveys, and quantitative data, Professor Chen argues that this regional variation is rooted in how foreign firms strengthened or weakened vested interest coalitions and the historical patterns of local capitalism. She advances a new theory to explain the implementation of economic policies in China and other emerging economies that comprise the new "globalized" generation.

Ling Chen is Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies. Previously, she was a Shorenstein Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University and Rajawali Fellow at the Ash Center of the Harvard Kennedy School. Her research interests lie in comparative politics and political economy, especially the political origins of economic policies and government-business relations in China. Her works have appeared in multiple peer-reviewed journals. She is the author of "Manipulating Globalization: The Influence of Bureaucrats on Business in China" (Stanford University Press, 2018). Chen was recognized as the Diversity Scholar by the University of Michigan. Her research has received support from institutions such as the Social Science Research Council, Andrew Mellon Foundation, Institute for Humane Studies and Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation.

The Social Origins of Valuation: Entrepreneurial Arguments and Stock Market Reactions in New Markets (November 30, 2018 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/56878 56878-14014911@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 30, 2018 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

This paper investigates how a new way of valuing organizations emerges in financial markets. We theorize that organizations in the early stages of a new market can actively shape how investors over time come to value firms in that space. Using internet initial public offerings from 1997 to 2012, we show that organizations argued for and eventually altered the way the stock market now values internet firms. This emergence process unfolds over two stages. First, the earliest organizations in the market introduce and legitimate a new understanding of value, thus establishing a shared basis of intelligibility with investors. Second, once this new understanding is established, organizations that subsequently enter the market are able to use new valuation metrics that were previously deemed nonsensical. Moreover, supplementary analyses suggest that high levels of excitement surrounding the new market may help new ways of valuing get off the ground more quickly. This study offers insight into how new understandings of value and their associated valuation metrics can emerge over time and lays the groundwork for future research on the social origins of valuation in financial markets.

Private Equity "Bake-Off" Competition (December 11, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58235 58235-14444074@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, December 11, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Ross Faculty Support/ACT

Nine University of Michigan student teams will square off against each other during the annual private equity “battle of the pitches,” held by the Center for Venture Capital and Private Equity Finance, or CVP, at the Ross School of Business.
Only two teams will advance to the “Bake-off” semifinals, where they will have a shot at winning this year’s Alan Gelband Private Equity Award and $10,000 in prize money.
The event will be held in the Ross School’s Blau Colloquium, beginning at 4 p.m., and is open to members and friends of the U-M student, faculty and alumni community.

The 11th annual Private Equity “Bake-off” competition serves as the capstone event for MBA and U-M graduate students enrolled in Professor David J. Brophy’s Private Equity Finance course.
For this highly anticipated interclass challenge, each student team will present a detailed proposal for a private-equity takeover of an existing public company. A panel of judges composed of private equity investors and investment practitioners will rank the nine teams by the quality, comprehensiveness and attractiveness (in terms of projected return on investment) of their public-to-private buyout pitches. Then the judges will narrow the competitive field to two semi-finalists.
During the “Bake-off,” the Blau Colloquium audience of students, alumni and sponsors will cast popular votes for the semifinalist team with the best buyout pitch. The winner will receive the Alan Gelband Private Equity Award and take home $7,500 in prize money. The runner-up will receive $2,500.
“Alan Gelband, an alum and great friend of U-M Ross, joins us in facilitating student access to opportunities in the private equity and alternative investment field,” Professor Brophy says. “Graduates of this and other Center for Venture Capital and Private Equity Finance (CVP) courses and competitions are now private equity fund leaders globally and providing continued support for our programs and conferences.”
At the beginning of the fall term, Professor Brophy assigned the nine student teams to select and evaluate a middle-market public company for a possible “model” private-equity acquisition. The students used publicly available financial records to assess the company’s management, revenue, profits and market position, and subsequently to project the estimated return on investment for private equity investors. Based on this extensive information gathering and financial analysis, each team formulated a buyout pitch for the target company it had chosen.
Alan Gelband, BBA ’65, MBA ’67, the benefactor for the annual Private Equity Award, says the public-to-private buyout competition serves both as a learning tool for students and a talent pipeline for the PE industry.
“This is an important exercise for anyone who wants to get into private equity, which is a leader of business evolution today,” says Gelband, the founder and managing director at Gelband & Co. investment banking.
Other Ross and CVP alumni and regional private equity investors who volunteer as judges also play a formative role during the annual Bake-off competition by providing constructive feedback on the teams’ buyout pitches and suggesting ways to strengthen their written and oral presentations. This year’s roster of 12 judges includes investors from regional and national private equity firms.

Organized By: Ross Faculty Support/ACT

University of Michigan students are teeing up their venture capital investment proposals in anticipation of the upcoming 2018 Financing Research Commercialization Pitch Competition on Dec. 12.
This year, 14 highly competitive teams of graduate and undergraduate students in Professor David J. Brophy’s Financing Research Commercialization practicum will go before a panel of 24 judges to present their strongest, most-strategic fund-raising pitches for venture capital financing.
The event will kick off at 6 p.m. in the Ross School’s Blau Colloquium. (5th floor, Blau building) Members and friends of the U-M student, faculty and alumni community are welcome to attend.
Each student team has been working closely with the founder(s) of a Michigan-based, early-stage startup for the entire semester to help jump-start the company’s growth. A number of the participating startups are University spinouts that are commercializing new technologies and research discoveries.
Over the course of the practicum, the students have assisted these emerging companies in refining business plans and market-entry strategies, accelerating the commercialization of research discoveries and disruptive technologies, and raising venture capital to fund expansion.
To move the needle on startup development, the teams needed to conduct due diligence, calculate valuation, develop financial plans and make key strategic decisions. Seasoned mentors helped the students put their textbook theory into practice.
The high-stakes 2018 Financing Research Commercialization Pitch Competition represents the culmination of months of hard work and collaboration. Each team stands ready to take on the capstone challenge in hopes of emerging as the top-ranked contestant in the pitch competition.
The practicum’s goal, according to Professor Brophy, is to give emerging, fast-growth companies a fresh set of eyes, minds and hands that can help them progress “the next mile” to raise external equity capital. Students, in turn, benefit from their action-based learning experience, which prepares them to become successful leaders of their own entrepreneurial enterprises in the future.
“In an action-learning setting, this unique course succeeds in teaching students and entrepreneurs, as working partners, how to prepare and position high-potential, emerging growth companies to raise their first (Series A) venture capital, a critical milestone in the company’s growth,” Professor Brophy explains. “Our objective is to help local market companies directly and to prepare U-M students to be fundable founders and venture investors in their own right.”
This year, a panel of 24 judges will assess and rank the students’ investor pitches and offer helpful feedback. Judging panelists come from the wide range of Michigan venture capital investors: corporations such as Stryker and DowDuPont, investment partnerships from the Michigan Venture Capital Association, and an array of angel investment groups and high net worth individuals.
Since its inception in 2004, Professor Brophy’s course has provided student-led business-development and capital-raising assistance to 205 early-stage companies, including 50 ventures that have procured their targeted funding. More than 1,100 U-M students have gone through the practicum and become part of the Michigan Ross Center for Venture Capital and Private Equity Finance (CVP) “Next Mile to Funding” venture capital network.

Join us as we celebrate our 200th Adderley Positive Research Incubator presentation!

Research is the heart of Positive Organizational Scholarship (POS), and we want to make sure that we support each other in developing high quality research. To that end, we created the Adderley Positive Research Incubator for sharing and encouraging POS-related research ideas that are at various stages of development.

Since our first gathering in 2004, the Adderley Positive Research Incubator has enabled 120+ researchers in the field of Positive Organizational Scholarship to share research ideas while still in development. This safe space encourages the development of high-quality research and allows for positive, constructive feedback on projects still in progress.

About the talk
This presentation will provide an overview of survey data and intervention research by the Healthy Minds Network, a large-scale research initiative to improve understanding of mental health and help-seeking in adolescent and young adult populations, particularly college students.

Positive Links:
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:
Many of us want to work in organizations that enable us to draw on our unique perspectives to contribute and become our best work selves. Yet, sometimes our differences can make us feel uncomfortable, which can challenge our ability to engage with one another in healthy and productive ways. In this presentation, Creary will share a tool that she has developed from her research on multiple identities and helping at work that is designed to help people build more effective relationships across difference at work. The audience will have the opportunity to use the tool in real-time to create their own positive paths for making one particular work relationship across difference more effective.

About Creary:
Stephanie J. Creary, PhD is an Assistant Professor of Management at The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. She is also an affiliated faculty member of Wharton People Analytics and a Senior Fellow of the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (LDI) at the University of Pennsylvania. Previously, she was on the faculty of Cornell University. Prior to completing her PhD degree at the Boston College School of Management, she was a research associate at Harvard Business School and The Conference Board in NYC.

Creary’s research investigates how multiple identities, perspectives, and experiences are engaged and used in organizations to cultivate positive identities, improve the quality of relationships across difference, and promote change that is positive for organizations. She studies these dynamics in a variety of situations and organizational contexts including the development and implementation of corporate diversity and inclusion initiatives, career progression across demographic groups, socialization practices, and health care delivery.

She has published her research in leading management journals, co-authored several HBS case studies on leadership and diversity, written executive action reports on human capital for management audiences, and has won several research and teaching awards.

STS Speaker. Back to the Future: An STS Approach to Markets (February 11, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58153 58153-14433289@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 11, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Science, Technology & Society

As the late Leigh Star noted, infrastructure is that often invisible stuff all around us that is both relational and ecological. I employ the tools of STS in an attempt to unpack infrastructure with respect to markets. Markets may be examined as (1) institutions, (2) the sum of particular sorts of economic transactions and (3) places where politics is enacted. Contemporary economists have focused on the sum of transactions, largely ignoring institutions and politics. However, given the performative character of economics, I need also to examine how economics, in its theoretical treatment of markets, has influenced the development of actual markets. Finally, any ecological study must also include standards, a relatively new form of infrastructure taken for granted by most economists. Based on preliminary investigations, I propose three hypotheses: First, actual markets (must) fail to deliver distributive justice. Second, economics as a discipline lags behind the actual changes in the nature of markets. Third, standards have taken on an increasingly important position as infrastructural devices that shape markets, first supporting and then undermining neoclassical approaches. Institutional economists of a century ago understood that a pragmatic approach, emphasizing the evolutionary character of markets, allowed construction of perspectives that change with the times. A re-reading of their work opens new vistas for STS approaches to markets.

Biosketch: Larry Busch is University Distinguished Professor Emeritus in the Department of Sociology at MSU. Dr. Busch's current interests include the use of standards in public and private policy making, biotechnology and nanotechnology policy, agricultural science and technology policy, higher education in agriculture, and public participation in the policy process and the consequences of neoliberal policies for democratic governance. His most recent book is Knowledge for Sale: The Neoliberal Takeover of Higher Education. MIT Press, 2017.

This research contributes to our understanding of job crafting by investigating the role of enjoyment of work and driven to work as job crafting motivations. 154 Supervisor-Employee dyads were surveyed. Enjoyment of work and driven to work were supported as motivators of job crafting. An interaction effect was observed, with low driven to work weakening the relationship between enjoyment of work and job crafting. Job crafting mediated the relationship between the two motivators and job performance. We add to researchers’ understanding of motivations for job crafting while making the first attempt to explore the job crafting phenomenon in East Asia.

Dr. Greg Laurence teaches negotiation, organizational behavior, and HR in graduate and undergraduate programs at the University of Michigan-Flint. His research revolves around employee well-being, including phenomena such as workspace personalization, workaholism, and job crafting. Greg earned his PhD, MBA, and MA in International Relations from Syracuse University.

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:
What aspect of corporate culture is so deep that it affects our hearts, minds, and the organizational bottom line? In this session, O’Neill introduces the undiscovered domain she calls “emotional culture” and demonstrates how cultures comprised of positive emotions such as love, joviality, and awe have benefits not only for employees’ own individual well-being, but also for teams, clients, and the corporate bottom line. Building on her Harvard Business Review article, “Manage Your Emotional Culture,” O’Neill will highlight real-world case studies from across different industries and share practical tips for how managers, HR business partners, and individual change agents can diagnose, manage, and change their emotional cultures.

About O’Neill:
Olivia (Mandy) O'Neill, PhD, is a Visiting Scholar at the Haas School of Business, University of California (2018-2019). She is also Associate Professor of Management at the George Mason University School of Business and Senior Scientist at the university’s Center for the Advancement of Well-Being. She holds a PhD in Organizational Behavior from the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University, where she was a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellow.

O’Neill is an expert on organizational culture, emotions in the workplace, gender, and careers. She consults and conducts academic research across a wide range of organizations and industries including Fortune 500 corporations, global semiconductor firms, major medical centers, and emergency response teams. Her work has been published in a variety of scholarly and practitioner journals, including Administrative Science Quarterly, Academy of Management Journal, Fast Company, Wall Street Journal, and Harvard Business Review.

O’Neill, with co-author Sigal Barsade, earned the Center for Positive Organization’s 2017 Award for Outstanding Published Article in Positive Organizational Scholarship for their Administrative Science Quarterly paper “What’s love got to do with it? A longitudinal study of the culture of companionate love and employee and client outcomes in the long-term care setting.”

Data Privacy and Portability in Financial Technology Symposium (February 23, 2019 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/58000 58000-14390313@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, February 23, 2019 8:30am
Location: South Hall
Organized By: Center on Finance, Law, and Policy

The Data Privacy and Portability in Financial Technology Symposium celebrates Michigan Technology Law Review’s 25th Anniversary by hosting an event dedicated to cutting edge scholarship at the intersection of technology and the law. Specifically, this symposium is designed to examine the inherent tensions between securing privacy rights and the ease at which transactions occur, facilitated by new innovative technologies.

Data portability is the idea that a consumer should own his or her own data and should be able to tell companies to use it, transfer it to another company, or destroy it. Every day, hundreds of millions of transactions occur between parties. Nearly everyone uses financial products that harvest data—credit cards, online shopping, stock market trends. New technologies allow people and organizations to record, analyze, and indefinitely store data points associated with these transactions more easily than ever before.

Many of those in the financial technology world assert that this aggregation of consumer data should be able to be sold to and owned by third parties. This would increase competition in the financial service sector and facilitate the development of more complex algorithms used to deliver financial services. Collecting information on consumer habits could lead to innovation in predicting market trends and could allow custom tailoring to individual consumer needs. Many banks, however, contend that opening up consumer information to third parties raises serious risks of fraud and abuse. Both sides of the debate advocate for the consumer’s interest: banks on the grounds of security and privacy, and the fintech sector on the grounds of access and innovation.

The symposium will address the legal issues implicated by the exciting and rapidly developing world of financial technology, such as: Who owns a customer’s financial data? How will the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) influence how companies handle customer data? How can U.S. policymakers construct a sensible policy framework suited to the particular regulatory and technical attributes of the U.S. consumer financial services sector? And how should we conceive of increased liability for companies and what does that mean for organizations’ relationships with consumers, stockholders, lenders and the like?

Food for Thought: How two local leaders cultivated mindful careers in the specialty food and food bank sector

Paul Saginaw, Partner, and Co-Founder of Zingerman’s Community of Businesses and Food Gatherers
Eileen Spring, President/CEO of Food Gatherers

In 1988 and a few days before Thanksgiving, Food Gatherers became Michigan’s first food rescue program and the first program of its kind to be founded by a small local business, Zingerman’s Delicatessen. Today, co-founder Paul Saginaw is a partner to the Zingerman’s Community of Businesses powered by nearly 600 people in ten different businesses with nearly $60M in annual sales. Eileen Spring, who has been in her role for 24 years, has worked to meet rising levels of food insecurity with a staff of 30 people, more than 7,000 volunteers who deliver 6.5 M pounds of food to people struggling with food insecurity in Washtenaw County. Join us to hear from these two respected local leaders from different sectors but with a singular purpose to provide food to people with excellent service, dignity, and purpose.

This will include the implications of Jam v. International Finance Corporation (IFC), a case pending before the US Supreme Court that challenges the World Bank’s claim of immunity. The case was brought by local fishermen in coastal India harmed by a coal-fired power plant. The case reflects one of several strategies for applying minimum environmental and human rights standards to the activities of international organizations.

This event is free and open to the public.

Positive Links:
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:
At some point in our careers, each of us will struggle with balancing competing demands on our time. Work life can be hectic in any organization, resulting in burnout, errors, stunted creativity, and poor performance. Incorporating mindfulness into our work lives might be one way to help restore equilibrium.

In this lively and engaging talk, Saint and Chopra will share research on how practices of mindfulness can be established within the oceans of chaos to fuel “heartfulness,” restoring kindness and compassion. Mindfulness-based interventions engender attitudes of curiosity and connection that allow us to listen attentively, recognize errors, refine skills, and focus on mission—ultimately leading to better performance. Saint and Chopra will offer various strategies and approaches—so-called “intersectional innovations” (or aha moments)—that can be used to improve personal and organizational performance.

Scalable Bayesian Inference with Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (March 22, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61942 61942-15241348@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 22, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Abstract: Despite the promise of big data, inferences are often limited not by sample size but rather by systematic effects. Only by carefully modeling these effects can we take full advantage of the data -- big data must be complemented with big models and the algorithms that can fit them. One such algorithm is Hamiltonian Monte Carlo, which exploits the inherent geometry of the posterior distribution to admit full Bayesian inference that scales to the complex models of practical interest. In this talk I will present a conceptual discussion of the challenges inherent to Bayesian computation and the foundations of why Hamiltonian Monte Carlo in uniquely suited to surmount them.

Bio: Michael Betancourt is the principal research scientist with Symplectomorphic, LLC where he develops theoretical and methodological tools to support practical Bayesian inference. He is also a core developer of Stan, where he implements and tests these tools. In addition to hosting tutorials and workshops on Bayesian inference with Stan he also collaborates on analyses in epidemiology, pharmacology, and physics, amongst others. Before moving into statistics, Michael earned a B.S. from the California Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, both in physics.

Project Management Certification (March 24, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61540 61540-15126016@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, March 24, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Tauber Institute for Global Operations

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example: a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students: $500 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 24 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, April 7 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, October 6 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for November 17, 2019 (11:00 - 3:00 pm) at the Ross School of Business. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Over the last two years, all students who have taken the exam have passed!

Project Management is a powerful skill set to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

NOTE: The $500 (for non-Tauber students) or $150 fee (for Tauber students) is non-refundable.

HOSTED BY: Tauber Institute for Global Operations. For questions about this event, please contact tauberinstitute@umich.edu or visit tauber.umich.edu.

What is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management, is similar to the exam-oriented, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C, B and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.

Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: University of Michigan Energy Institute

Ceres and the Energy Institute at the University of Michigan are partnering to host a Public Presentation to discuss policies and partnerships for accelerating fleet electrification for public and private entities.

In an effort to unlock the benefits and accelerate the deployment of electric vehicles and fleets, these two events will focus on the major stakeholders who could (1) benefit from EVs or fleet electrification and (2) play a key role in accelerating the deployment of EVs. This includes: large fleet operators–companies, institutions and municipalities–along with auto manufacturers, regulators, utilities, and electric vehicle technology and policy experts.

Prior to this event, Ceres and the Energy Institute will interview these key stakeholders, in an effort to answer three primary questions:
-What factors motivate fleet operators to transition to electric vehicles? 

-What are the biggest perceived barriers to fleet electrification or EV procurement? 

-Which policies and/or partnerships can encourage widespread adoption of EVs?

Social Worth Affirmation (April 5, 2019 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61127 61127-15036281@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 5, 2019 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Teams often fail to reach their potential because each member’s need to feel accepted prevents him or her from offering their unique perspective or information to the team. Drawing on self-affirmation theory, we propose that social worth affirmation – which we define as the process by which an individual’s unique contributions are affirmed by social relationships – can prepare individuals to contribute to team performance more effectively. We theorize that affirming team members’ social worth spills over to the new team context, thereby decreasing their social concerns about being accepted by other members. This, in turn, leads to better information exchange and performance in teams. In a first field experiment, we found that teams in which members experienced social worth affirmation prior to team formation performed better on a problem-solving task (compared to teams without social worth affirmation). In a second experiment, conducted using task-oriented teams in the U.S. military, we tested a full model that social worth affirmation influences information exchange and team performance by reducing members’ concerns about social acceptance. In the third experiment using virtual teams, we find that social worth affirmation improves teams’ ability to exchange information by sharing unique information cues.

Project Management Certification (April 7, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61540 61540-15126017@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, April 7, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Tauber Institute for Global Operations

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example: a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students: $500 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 24 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, April 7 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, October 6 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for November 17, 2019 (11:00 - 3:00 pm) at the Ross School of Business. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Over the last two years, all students who have taken the exam have passed!

Project Management is a powerful skill set to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

REGISTRATION: Please register through iMpact by clicking here:
https://tauber.umich.edu/events-training/project-management-certification/2019-03-24/project-management-certification-2019

NOTE: The $500 (for non-Tauber students) or $150 fee (for Tauber students) is non-refundable.

HOSTED BY: Tauber Institute for Global Operations. For questions about this event, please contact tauberinstitute@umich.edu or visit tauber.umich.edu.

What is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management, is similar to the exam-oriented, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C, B and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.

Data Science at the New York Times (April 15, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62827 62827-15477379@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 15, 2019 4:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Abstract: The Data Science group at The New York Times develops and deploys machine learning solutions to newsroom and business problems. Re-framing real-world questions as machine learning tasks requires not only adapting and extending models and algorithms to new or special cases but also sufficient breadth to know the right method for the right challenge. I’ll first outline how unsupervised, supervised, and reinforcement learning methods are increasingly used in human applications for description, prediction, and prescription, respectively. I’ll then focus on the ‘prescriptive’ cases, showing how methods from the reinforcement learning and causal inference literatures can be of direct impact in engineering, business, and decision-making more generally.

Location: Jeffries Hall
Organized By: Law School Problem Solving Initiative

Can we improve musicians’ opportunities to earn money from music?

The amount of revenue generated by the music and recording industries
is massive, and by most accounts, increasing. Musicians and composers
receive only a tiny fraction of that money, and many of them complain
that that share has been getting smaller.

Students will discuss how working musicians and composers can earn more money from their music.
