In 2017, Vietnam’s higher education landscape was poised for a transformation. The country’s rapid economic growth demanded a globally competitive university, one that would develop top talent, elevate academic standards, and connect Vietnam to the world’s leading research institutions. With that goal, Vingroup, one of Vietnam’s largest corporations, turned to the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business to help build VinUniversity (VinUni), the country’s first private, nonprofit university designed to meet international standards. Over the next seven years, 450 faculty and staff from across Cornell worked alongside VinUni leadership to design academic programs, mentor faculty, and shape a research-driven institution from the ground up. #CornellBusiness https://bit.ly/4biM8KC

Great to see two of our recent MBAs – Burke Reimann MBA ’24 and Faris Besiso Tech MBA ’24 -- featured among Poets and Quants "Most Disruptive MBA Startups" of 2024. Their business, Cipher, focuses on the connection between music and social media success. Cipher connects artists and buyers equitably, to make the most of viral moments. Super cool. What a great shout-out to our innovative Startup Studio curriculum in the Tech MBA and a great acknowledgement of the leadership of Professor Mukti K. Congrats, Burke and Faris! https://lnkd.in/eg6RUhY2 #Cornellleads #entrepreneurship #businesseducation

Kaitlin Woolley ’12 was leaning toward taking snow pants to an outdoor event, but her husband suggested she leave them home. As she shivered later, she kicked herself – but did not blame her husband. “I felt like I was living out our research,” she said. In a series of experiments, Woolley, professor of marketing and management communications in the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, and Dr. Sunita Sah, associate professor of management and organizations in the SC Johnson College and faculty fellow at the Cornell Health Policy Center, found that when people go along with opinions that go against their better judgment, they feel more culpable for the decision if things go wrong than if they hadn’t received another opinion.
