Businesses of the past operated like a rookie playing darts, throwing something and hoping it sticks. But the explosion of big data, automation and machine learning have allowed today’s businesses to understand humans at an instinctual level, predicting their behavior before it happens, says Karthik Kannan, the Thomas Howatt Chaired Professor in Management and director of the Business Information and Analytics Center at Purdue University’s Krannert School of Management.

Refinery 46, a co-working and incubator space in Indianapolis targeting the home services and construction industries, marked its official opening in 2018 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by the city’s mayor.

High school athletes who sustain a concussion are three times more likely to sustain a second concussion, and a lack of proper diagnosis and management of concussion may result in serious long-term consequences, or risk of coma or death. Brightlamp Inc., a Purdue University-affiliated startup co-founded by Krannert grad Michael Heims and Purdue engineering and science alumnus Kurtis Sluss, has launched an application that lets a smartphone user quickly record data that can be sent to a medical trainer or other medical professional who can objectively determine if that person has sustained any neurological disturbance with potentially serious long-term health repercussions.

The 45 million Americans currently navigating paying off federal student loans have a collective $1.5 trillion in debt, a total that climbs every year. Even so, an undergraduate degree is one of the most important contributors to financial stability and achieving a higher socio-economic level. That makes attending an elite institution like Purdue's Krannert School — ranked #11 by Poets & Quants for return-on-investment among the nation’s top business schools — a sound decision if either goal is a priority.

For tens of millions Americans, student loan debt is a major pain. The 45 million Americans currently navigating paying off federal student loans have a collective $1.5 trillion in debt, a total that climbs every year. Even so, an undergraduate degree is one of the most important contributors to financial stability and achieving a higher socio-economic level. That makes attending an elite business school like Purdue's Krannert School — which Poets & Quants ranks #11 for return-on investment — a sound decision if either goal is a priority.

The Time's Up movement against sexual harassment, founded a year ago, has made tangible progress in the world of showbiz and beyond by fostering solidarity and encouraging women to speak out.

Still, she says, more needs to be done.

This economy is almost exactly the one we were promised. Decades ago, when we imagined the future, the world looked like the one depicted in “The Jetsons,” where people commuted to work in flying cars and managed robots from their desks by hitting an array of multi-hued buttons. Admittedly, we don’t yet have flying cars (though we may soon have autonomous ones). But the Jetsons-esque world we dreamt of is finally being realized.

Have you ever felt a jolt of panic when eyeing your cellphone bill? If you live in the United States, you’re not alone, according to a recent report by Finnish research firm Rewheel, which found Americans pay more for wireless data than consumers in most other developed countries. The report adds to the growing body of evidence that U.S. wireless packages are excessively priced compared with similar services abroad, says Krannert professor Mara Faccio, who in 2017 completed a working paper with co-author Luigi Zingales analyzing mobile phone plans and telecommunication regulations in nearly 150 countries.

Dean David Hummels reads a Purdue-themed holiday poem looking back on 2018

As more electric and autonomous vehicles take to the streets, consumers may soon be able to skip the mundane task of stopping for gas.

The boss wants the project completed before the holiday break, your spouse needs to work late and pick up gifts, someone needs to get the children from the after-school programs and feed them a healthy dinner. Trying to manage demands between your professional life and personal life can be a major source of stress. Work Life Help, a Purdue-affiliated startup co-founded by Krannert professor Ellen Ernst Kossek, is trying to change that with new training technology aimed at helping supervisors better empower their employees to use company resources to manage the work-life balance.

For Purdue Krannert economics professor Kelly Blanchard, teaching is a labor of love. “I enjoy trying to figure out how individual students learn,” she said in an a 2017 article highlighting her use of a mobile app and technology to better connect with students. “I know what worked best for me as a student, but I’m always interested in experimenting with new approaches and new technologies, especially ones that can improve the learning environment in my large lecture courses.”

Mohammad Rahman, an associate professor in the Krannert School of Management at Purdue University, was recently honored with the 2018 Information Systems Society (ISS) Sandy Slaughter Early Career Award, which is presented annually to individuals who are on a path towards making outstanding intellectual contributions to the information systems discipline.

The 24-hour event is a way for people to collaboratively work together using software programs and analytics to solve problems facing businesses and industries.

Purdue men’s basketball coach Matt Painter pulled Robbie Hummel aside after practice during his first year — a season when Hummel became the only Boilermaker freshman in history to gain first-team All-Big Ten honors — and delivered a shocking message. “He told me I was selfish because I wasn’t helping anyone else,” said Hummel. “I needed to do more than set an example, so from then on I started becoming more vocal and tried to help us improve as a team.” That was one of the insights gained at this year’s Krannert Leadership Speakers Series, an annual event held at the Indiana Roof Ballroom in Indianapolis. Other panelists in “A Night of Champions” included alumni and retired professional athletes Ukari Figgs and Matt Light, and Mike Bobinski, Purdue’s vice president and director of Intercollegiate Athletics.

Looking for a high-caliber surgeon may be easier than previously thought. Critics of online rating platforms have stated that online physicians’ ratings are nothing more than a popularity contest, based on the interpersonal encounter a patient has with their doctor, rather than on the doctor’s attentiveness to current best practices. Even though the system has been met with skepticism, a new study suggests that the time-honored word-of-mouth method for finding quality health care may hold up after all.
