“Rate hikes have made economic decisions to spend and borrow difficult for individuals and businesses; they have had to make more calibrated decisions, and expected returns are put into sharper focus. For the average household, the cost of living has increased, with a substantial increase in debt-service costs...This is a challenge for the Fed, which hoped for a greater dampening effect from rate hikes."

"Policing labels, both in marketing and finance, is a huge task...we may need a "Yelp" to crowdsource grassroots level consumer data on green washing related to specific brands. We may also need a "Consumer Reports" to sort through good and bad brands on the greenwashing dimension."

Columbia Business School Professors Oded Netzer, Christopher J. Frank and Paul F. Magnone delve into the ideas and practical applications detailed in their new book Decisions Over Decimals.
What should listeners know about understanding data
Oded Netzer, the Arthur J. Samberg Professor of Business, shares his thoughts on ChatGPT, how to use data most effectively, and the essential qualities that future business leaders must possess.
Become a confident leader and use data, experience, and intuition to drive your decisions
Agile decision making is imperative as you lead in a data-driven world. Amid streams of data and countless meetings, we make hasty decisions, slow decisions, and often no decisions.
Uniquely bridging theory and practice, Decisions Over Decimals breaks this pattern by uniting data intelligence with human judgment to get to action — a sharp approach the authors refer to as Quantitative Intuition (QI).
The words people use say a lot about their personalities, emotions, and thinking. And the ones they use when asking to borrow money, it turns out, also says a lot about whether they are likely to pay others back.
You’re running all out but failing to reach a goal. Your team is grinding through tasks and decisions. If companies want to grow, compete, and win they need to accelerate decisions. It is estimated the average American makes 70 decisions per day, according to Professor Sheena S. Iyengar, at Columbia Business School. Given the frequency, the real need is for a practical approach to lead in a data-driven world.
Chatbots and artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT that can almost instantly produce increasingly sophisticated written content are already being used to perform a variety of tasks, from writing high school assignments to generating legal documents and even authoring legislation.
We’re still in the early stages of the generative-AI revolution, says Oded Netzer, vice dean of research and professor at Columbia Business School
