Are you truly shopping green–or do your products just have a “green sheen”?

A recent study found that 64% of Americans are willing to pay more for sustainable products but most (74%) do not know how to identify them. With all of the options available online, at grocery stores, at the farmers market and beyond, it can be difficult to know if the decisions we make are truly […]

Relinking the supply chain: Learning from history to avoid past mistakes in healthcare

When the COVID-19 pandemic started two years ago, it exposed holes in the healthcare industry supply chain, and people experienced drastic effects. For example, lack of availability of hospital beds and personal protective equipment in the early days of the pandemic resulted in many, sadly avoidable, deaths. What can be done to minimize future disruptions? […]

A message from Mary Conran, Associate Dean for Academic Programs and Curriculum

Professor Mary Conran has been a staple of the Fox School community for nearly three decades. Even before earning her BBA in 1979 and MBA in 1981, Conran was a member of the Fox family; her father had been a faculty member and administrator, helping create the school’s MBA program in the 1970s. She was […]

No panic in pandemic

The terms “social distancing” and “lockdown” are now commonplace. These policies have been discussed, debated and defended at length since March 2020. While there is substantial evidence that they are protective against COVID-19, it is hard to ignore their impact on socio-economic activities. Policymakers have struggled with how to reconcile this dichotomy and implement practices […]

The cost of waiting in line

Data indicate customers prefer to shop where they anticipate less wait time. What does this mean for companies trying to determine the revenue lost due to their long lines? Researchers have long assumed the cost companies pay for their lines is based on the value of their customer’s time. But Subodha Kumar, Paul R. Anderson […]

Emotions behind the mask: Temple’s Center for Applied Research in Decision Making and Ipsos collaborate on face mask research and more

The collaboration will generate industry-relevant insights about attention, emotion, memory and desirability for marketing, advertising, financial decision making and more. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 26, 2021 — They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul. But when the rest of a face is hidden, how much can you really tell about how a person […]

What will be popular next?

How do you know what will be popular next? Predicting the future like this has its benefits. A business owner can confirm her supply chain to prepare for a surge in purchases. A public works official may be able to schedule road closures so as to inconvenience the fewest people. A couple wanting a small […]

Can AI feedback improve employee performance?

The use of technology to monitor employees has been much debated by companies, shareholders and lawmakers. Oftentimes, it may seem as if companies are using monitoring technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to spy on employees.  Since this technology is new, there is still much research being done to understand and examine its effects on companies […]

Nudging toward economic equality

Every day, people are faced with a hundred and one choices that they seem to make on their own. What should they get for lunch today? How much should they tip the waiter?  However, they may be getting a little help from companies when making these choices.  For example, a restaurant’s online menu may sort […]

According […]

As a mountain climber in her spare time, […]

Micro-influencing has evolved Gen Z fashion, and it’s here to stay

High-profile celebrities like Rihanna and Kim Kardashian accumulate a massive number of followers on social media. In normal circumstances, brands would use their faces and likeness for advertising. These celebrity endorsements were the original version of online influence for consumer buying decisions. However, the rise of social media micro-influencers has ushered in a refreshingly new […]
