Business Administration

The first morning fantasies are always the same. A newly promoted or recently hired manager walks in to lead a team that they did not help build. One member had applied for the same position that the newcomer had recently obtained. Two others have been working together for a decade and share a shorthand and history that the new leader is unfamiliar with. Someone is quietly skeptical, while another is outspoken. And somewhere in the back of the new manager's mind is the age-ol

Consider the final session of a company offsite. A team has been asked to present its year-long strategy, and the slide is displayed with pride. Increase revenue by 20 percent. Enter two new markets. Launch three products. Increase customer satisfaction scores. Improve retention. The entire room nods. In every visible way, it resembles a strategy: it is ambitious, specific, numerical, and everyone leaves the room energized. Yet nothing on that slide represents a strategy. It

In many businesses, marketing is a room down the hall. It is the team that creates the perfect logo, runs the advertising, manages the social accounts, and is called in near the end of a project to "package" whatever product the team has already decided to build. Everyone else, from finance to operations, engineering, and the corner office, regards marketing as someone else's responsibility, a specialized function to admire from afar but leave alone. And in many of those same

The most instructive business story in the world right now is taking place in Indonesia. In less than three years, TikTok Shop has gone from a banned experiment to roughly a third of the country’s tracked platform commerce market. It has overcome a government ban and a groundbreaking merger and reinvented its entire business model along the way (Magpie IQ, 2026). This transformation has changed how a nation buys from consumers. For anyone considering a business education, it’

Now every industry lives on a screen. And every screen is created by someone. The apps that manage money, the platforms that stream entertainment, and the interfaces through which billions work, learn, shop, and connect are the product of a profession that was virtually unknown a generation ago: digital media design. That profession hits an inflection point in 2026. Artificial intelligence (AI) can create images, video, layouts, and code in seconds, and it hasn’t made designe

Overall, the two-year option is a third cheaper than the one-year option, but both options qualify the same. Most people who begin to consider a master’s degree do so with the wrong number. They look at the tuition, compare it with their savings and decide if the number feels affordable. That’s a natural place to start, and it’s analytically backwards because for almost every working professional, tuition is not the largest cost of graduate school; time is. The economics of e

There is a moment most people who have sat in a budget meeting without a finance background will recognize. Someone puts a number on the screen, there's a debate about whether it's the right number and the meeting moves on based on a conversation that half the room didn't totally follow. No one admits to feeling this way. The proposal is accepted or rejected, and the manager who couldn’t follow the argument walks away having learned nothing except that he lost. The usual expl

After you get promoted, there is a particular silence. The announcement is made, the congratulations are received and then the new manager sits down at the same desk with a new title and realizes that no one has told them what the job is. They know more or less what their forerunner did. They sort of know what their manager’s after. What they don’t know, what almost nobody tells them, is that the work they were promoted for is different from the work they are now being paid t

Fashion is one of the few industries that compress culture, commerce, craft, and technology into one discipline. The global clothing and textile system employs hundreds of millions of people, shapes national identities, and is now at the center of two of the defining debates of our time; what is the environmental cost of consumption and the disruption of creative work by artificial intelligence? The tenth annual State of Fashion report from The Business of Fashion and McKinse

Graduates of a serious postgraduate program often say that what surprised them was not a module. It was the people with whom this phenomenon is associated. This phenomenon is such a ubiquitous finding in alumni testimony that it has become a cliché, and clichés tend to be dismissed rather than examined. The assertion is a mistake here, because that claim turns out to be supported by a substantial body of research in sociology, economics, and organizational behavior, and under

The global tourism and hospitality industry is now experiencing a structural change that few would have predicted a decade ago. International tourism has not simply recovered from the disruptions of the early 2020s; it has been reconstituted around new logics of the consumer, new distribution channels, and new expectations of the professionals who operate within it. The UN World Tourism Organization has routinely recorded the sector’s return to and growth beyond pre-pandemic

In 2026, a TikTok trend called “FlashFrame Stories” took social media by storm. In this trend, creators told a whole story in just 15 seconds with rapid cuts, bold motion graphics, and catchy sound bites. It was a new way to get quick attention and to keep people looking. Brands jumped on this trend fast, knowing that short-form storytelling was how to reach audiences in a crowded digital space. Videos like these are so popular because they fit so well into our fast-paced liv

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is already generating buzz off the soccer field. Among the most talked-about moments is the display of the Levi’s logo during the event. It's not just a logo placement; it's a strong example of how branding and visual identity impact the fashion industry today. The visual identity of a brand can influence how people connect with it, remember it, and ultimately choose to engage with it. Branding is more than a name or a symbol these days. It's about tel
