Professor Patrick Augustin addressed the critical gap between technical risk analysis and executive decision-making at the聽ALRiM-GARP Banking Risks Conference in Luxembourg in January.

In an office environment, AI can perform many of the tasks that have traditionally been done by interns and junior employees.聽While that might seem like an efficiency gain, companies could lose out聽in the long run.

A surge of reports about loosened lug nuts on vehicles across Quebec has raised alarm among drivers and authorities, with some linking the dangerous trend to a resurfacing social聽mediamedia聽鈥渓ug nut challenge.鈥澛�Emmanuelle Vaast, professor of information systems at 91涩漫鈥檚 Desautels Faculty of Management, warns that even minimally viral trends can become dangerous.

Relatively few聽job candidates negotiate the terms of their employment, often because they fear losing the offer. Yet surveys show recruiters are open to negotiation, and it is rare for employers to withdraw an offer because a candidate聽attempted聽to negotiate. 鈥淎 common mistake is to negotiate on salary alone or to present multiple terms as non-negotiable conditions for acceptance,鈥� says Jean-Nicolas Reyt, an Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour at 91涩漫 Desautels.
