*** I will be involved in the interviews for the new professor for translation with specializations in business and law on Monday, June 11th, therefore we will NOT be having class on June 11th. This class session is postponed to Thursday, June 14th at 17:00 sharp. I imagine our classroom will be free at this time, but will ask our secretaries just in case. ***
For next class, please read the Economist article distributed in class and answer the accompanying questions (unfortunately not available online).
We'll be talking about investing and finance next week, so have a look at this video on how stock exchanges work before next class (I recommend taking notes on vocab): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3QpgXBtDeo
Then, watch this video featuring NYSE president Stacey Cunningham and see how much you can follow (CNBC is the US television news channel for business, so it's worth having a look at their channel): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BuHJ4Pue70
(On a personal note, one of my favorite movies of all time, Pi (1998, Aronofsky, yes, the same dude who directed Black Swan), is all about a mathematician trying to find patterns in the stock market: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo18VIoR2xU
This was Aronofsky's senior project studying film at Harvard.)
Some info on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (referenced in psychology, sociology, and management studies): https://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html
Your optional essay prompt for this week is: "What constitutes successful managerial practice?" Submit this essay to me via email by Friday at noon for corrections in time for next week. (Remember that you can submit any essays from previous weeks throughout the semester.)
