Will this be another summer of protest for Market Basket employees and customers? Don't count on it, Professor Emeritus Thomas Kochan said. "It would be hard to envision a mass protest because this does come across as a family feud over succession," Kochan observed. "It's too abstract. It's too much an internal dispute that I don't think would resonate."

Professor Emeritus Richard Schmalensee explained that while relying solely on solar and wind power presents challenges due to their variability, "averaged over their lifetimes, the price of wind and solar power per kilowatt-hour is lower than that of coal or gas."

Professor Nemit Shroff and co-author wrote: "Tucked into the latest House reconciliation bill is a stealth proposal to eliminate the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and fold its work into the Securities and Exchange Commission. It may sound at first like bureaucratic belt-tightening. In reality, it's a strategic blunder that could weaken American oversight in China, compromise financial transparency, and undercut the United States's global leadership position."

Negotiating comes more naturally to some than others. A recent study by associate professor Jackson Lu found that MBA graduates of East Asian and South-East Asian ethnicity had markedly lower salaries than South Asians and whites. The propensity to negotiate among different groups explains the gap; East Asians and South-East Asians who did not try to negotiate were more likely to say they were concerned about damaging the relationship with an employer.
