Maxim Voronov

Authenticity. Corporations chase it. Consumers desire it. Maxim Voronov, Professor of Sustainability and Organization at the Schulich School of Business, studies authenticity in a business context. He breaks it down into two categories, traditionality and originality. Which one a corporation pursues depends on factors such as how large they are, and how old they are. In this episode, host Cameron Graham talks to Maxim about his study of authenticity in the Canadian whisky industry. Hosted and produced by Cameron Graham, Professor of Accounting at York University.

Giri Kanagaretnam

Beliefs about climate change vary, and one big difference of opinion is whether we should try to do anything about it. One way of getting people to do something about climate change is through tax incentives. But what makes one company take advantage of tax breaks for green technology, while another company does nothing? Do the company’s beliefs about climate change matter? And how would you know what a company believes, anyway? These are the kinds of questions Giri Kanagaretnam can answer. Giri is a Professor of Accounting at the Schulich School of Business, where he holds the Ron Binns Chair in Financial Reporting, Banking and Governance.

Canada has a long and troubled history when it comes to dealing with the First Nations of North America. Achieving reconciliation between Canada and the First Nations is an enormous challenge that covers every aspect of life.

Irene Henriques trying, she is Professor of Sustainability and Economics at the Schulich School of Business and her research focus is Indigenous entrepreneurship.

046: Winny Shen

Dr. Winny Shen studies bad bosses. You know the kind. A boss who constantly undermines you or plays favorites. A boss who takes credit for your work when things go well and blames you when things go badly. Or even worse, an abusive boss who yells at people, insults them, reams them out in front of the rest of the team. A boss like this makes you want to quit. Not many people actually set out to become a bad boss. So how does someone end up this way? What goes wrong? These are questions Winny Shen knows how to answer.
