| Featured Research | | | | Whitman researchers Joe Comprix, professor and chair of the accounting department, and Sebastian Tideman, assistant professor of accounting, provide evidence that male analysts’ questions are more verbally aggressive than questions from female analysts, particularly when the CEO being questioned is female. Forthcoming in The Accounting Review. | | | | “We’re calling out structural sexism in economic theory. That’s pretty radical,” says Arielle Newman, assistant professor of entrepreneurship. Newman and her co-author challenge their fellow academics to follow suit and critically examine bounded rationality and other taken-for-granted theories as in-themselves value-laden and not necessarily easily transferable to other cultural contexts. Journal of Business Venturing, 37(4), 2022. | | | | This claim by major food retailers is being put to the test by Fasheng Xu, assistant professor of supply chain management, and his colleagues. In their paper, they suggest that perfect traceability may not even be the best solution. “There are many different ways to offer alternative risk-mitigation measures, such as safety inspections in the middle of the supply chain.” Forthcoming in Management Science. | | | | | |
