| McDonough will be Driven by Distinctiveness, Exploration, Innovation
|
|
| |
| Distinctiveness, exploration, and innovation will be the forces that drive Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business forward, according to Paul Almeida, the new dean of the school. He shared his vision with faculty and staff at the annual State of the School event, Sept. 6.
Almeida, who has been a professor and administrator at McDonough for more than two decades, discussed how the business of business education is rapidly changing – from increased competition for students to rising tuition costs to advances in technology – and how schools must adapt in a maturing marketplace.

| Trash-Talking: An Unexpected Double-Edged Sword
|
|
| Often, when people hear of trash-talking, it is in the context of sports or politics. What about in business? As it turns out, trash-talking among employees and CEOs is just as common, and the results are surprising.
"Trash-Talking: Competitive Incivility Motives Rivalry, Performance, and Unethical Behavior," which recently was published in the journal Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, explores the impact of trash-talking on the target. Co-authored by Jeremy Yip, assistant professor of management at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, the study found trash-talking is a common workplace behavior that can foster rivalry and motivate both constructive and destructive behaviors.
