Financial Times recently released its Business school professors’ picks featuring insights from Moshe Cohen, Senior Lecturer of Management and Organizations and Greg Stoller, Master Lecturer of Strategy and Innovation.
This curated selection of Financial Times articles, chosen by business school faculty, bridges real-world developments with classroom learning to spark critical thinking. Moshe Cohen selected “Larry Fink points to clients’ anxiety about markets as BlackRock inflows slow,” which illustrates how market uncertainty and client anxiety led to a steep drop in BlackRock’s new business, offering a lens to examine the impact of uncertainty on financial decision-making and leadership response.
Greg Stoller chose “How culture shapes capitalism around the world,” highlighting how cultural values influence business practices in countries like China, India, the US, and Sweden. Through frameworks like Hofstede’s dimensions and Weber’s Protestant ethic, the article encourages discussions on cultural fluency and how local norms shape global business strategy.
Together, these articles equip students with timely insights and critical perspectives on how global economic forces and cultural dynamics shape business strategy and leadership in an interconnected world.
