The researchers at the Schulich School of Business are consistently developing new insights for both emerging and salient fields of businesses.
Our faculty members continue to demonstrate leadership in various areas of management research and have increased international visibility and relevance to audiences within and outside academia.
Research lies at the very heart of our school’s vision: “Developing responsible leaders and ground-breaking ideas that reshape business and change the world.” It’s a bold and ambitious vision that guides everything we do.
As a leading research-intensive school, we want to maintain the incredibly diverse breadth of research that we engage in — one of the hallmark features we’re known for. That means continuing to invest in both traditional areas of research strength such as sustainability and entrepreneurship, as well as investing in newer and emerging areas that include social impact and digital innovation.
We also want to produce research that has impact — research that matters not only to the academic community, but also to students, business managers, public policymakers, and the wider public. Above all, we aspire to be part of the important conversations
taking place today regarding the key challenges and trends reshaping business.
To keep our research culture strong and relevant, we’re also creating more opportunities for Schulich researchers to share their ideas, collaborate, and showcase their work.
One of the ways we’ve traditionally done this is through Spotlight on Research, which gives us the opportunity each year to showcase our school’s vibrant and high-performing research culture, to pay tribute to some of our colleagues for their outstanding work and contributions, and to explore the ways in which our faculty members are tackling some
of the significant issues at the top of every agenda in business today.
In this year’s Spotlight on Research, you’ll get a fascinating look at how our researchers are investigating a wide range of topics. I encourage you to look through the pages of this year’s report and discover how our researchers are impacting the world of business and beyond.

It’s a pleasure to welcome readers to our annual report on research. Its purpose is to provide our stakeholders with an overview of the faculty’s scholarly undertakings and achievements of the preceding calendar year. It’s also a way to celebrate those achievements. Along the way, we take you on a deep dive into a few areas of research, and few researchers, to help bring to life the variegated tapestry that is Research@Schulich.
One of the individuals we specifically profile is Schulich Professor of Accounting Marcia Annisette, who was the richly deserving recipient of the University Professorship she was awarded at the 2023 Spring Convocation. Dr. Annisette, who has since been appointed as the University’s Vice-Provost Academic, has made contributions of many kinds during her time at York, but we want to particularly call attention to her research that has helped to uncover how forms of social exclusion influence access to professional opportunities.
Another individual is Professor of Sustainability and Economics, Irene Henriques . Dr. Henriques, who is a Schulich Research Excellence Fellow, has a remarkable research track record that is highly interdisciplinary,
since she works at the intersection of environmental sustainability and economic equity. In this annual report, we invite readers to learn more specifics about her ongoing research being done in collaboration with Indigenous scholars, organizations and community leaders in order to understand and promote indigenous entrepreneurship.
We also encourage our readers to get a little more familiar with the work of Dr. Grant Packard , who is an Associate Professor of Marketing, as well as the director of Schulich’s Master of Marketing program.
Dr. Packard’s been on bit of tear lately, having published more than 20 scholarly and managerial papers in the last 10 years, all focused on various topics related to language in the marketplace.
Recently, he’s been running workshops to help scholars and organizations learn how to apply natural language processing and text analysis methods to their own efforts. Find out why he’s so in-demand!
Research being done by Professor Geoff Kistruck , RBC Chair in Social Innovation & Impact at Schulich, also warrants our readers’ attention. Dr. Kistruck, together with colleagues (including Schulich alumna Dr. Angelique Slade Shantz) has been doing work to tackle the challenge of training “necessity entrepreneurs” who generally resist advice about how to alter their product offerings or sales pitches. Check out what they are learning about the framing tactics that work to change how these vital economic actors do business.
We also provide a snapshot of how an entire team of Schulich scholars is helping to find ways of building better cities. This team is headed by a seasoned leader, Jim Clayton , Professor, Timothy R. Price Chair in Real Estate and Infrastructure, and Director of Schulich’s Master of Real Estate and Infrastructure (MREI) Program. Additional members include Avis Devine, Associate Professor of Real Estate Finance and Sustainability at Schulich, and a recent hire, Lyndsey Rolheiser, an Assistant Professor of Real Estate. The team is rounded out by Joseph Ogilvie, the new OMERS & Oxford Chair in Real Assets. Have a look at the topics this team is tackling.
The Office of the Associate Dean Research is committed to supporting the mobilization of knowledge created by our faculty members. One way we do so is by encouraging them to share news about the research they’re presenting, publishing and publicizing via the dedicated email address (researchsuccess@schulich. yorku.ca). The Office collects these messages, enters them into the appropriate databases, and creates social media posts to circulate information about our research to
broader audiences. Recently, we’ve developed a newsletter that will be sent out three times each year to share this information with a broader swath of stakeholders.
The Research Office also works with the school’s media team on press releases about some forthcoming research; the press releases are circulated broadly to the Schulich community. Further, our office helps to update the Faculty & Research section on the Schulich website that includes modules on the Spotlight on Research, Faculty Impact, Research Funding, a Publications Database, Schulich’s Centres of Excellence and other research institutes and labs, and a breakdown of Schulich faculty by research area. These are all important supports for knowledge mobilization, which will be an increasing priority for the office in the years to come.
We hope you enjoy reading about our extensive and impactful research as much as we enjoy sharing it with you. And, most of all, we would be happy to hear from you. Please email any feedback, suggestions, or comments you may have to research@schulich.yorku.ca

Take a deep dive into the achievements of some of the most accomplished researchers in their respective fields and see where academic rigour meets real-world relevance to drive innovations for business and society.
Marcia Annisette receives the honour of University Professor from York University.
Lauded for her pioneering research, her institutional leadership, and her motivational teaching, Schulich Accounting Professor Marcia Annisette received the honour of University Professor at the 2023 Spring Convocation.
The highly prestigious honour is bestowed on a York University faculty member who has made outstanding contributions to the University. Only four other members of Schulich have received this honour: Founding Dean James Gillies, Joyce Zemans, Wade Cook and Eileen Fischer, the current Associate Dean, Research.
In announcing the news of her University Professorship, Schulich Dean Detlev Zwick called Annisette an outstanding scholar, teacher and administrator who has “excelled in all dimensions and has done so with remarkable energy, enthusiasm and dedication.”
A pioneer in the field of sociological and behavioural accounting research, Annisette has gained widespread recognition as a scholar. Her scholarly work falls under the umbrella of interdisciplinary accounting research — a field predominantly concerned with the social organization of the accountancy profession. Much of her most widely cited work is historically and sociologically informed and focuses on how forms of social exclusion — everything from social class and race to nationality and immigration status — have influenced professional structures and associations and have sometimes resulted in professional exclusion.
Her research career has been marked by numerous accomplishments, including the historical development of the accountancy profession in
Trinidad and Tobago. Her three journal articles on this topic in the late 1990s and early 2000s were considered path breaking in terms of their theoretical contributions and the richness of the empirical analysis they provided.
“Linking accountancy professionalization to imperialism was novel at that time and there was only rudimentary theorization of a link,” says Annisette. “In addition, up until the publication of these papers, little was known about professional accountancy development outside the Anglo-American area, and high-quality work on accounting in countries of the Global South was non-existent.”
Another area where Annisette has made a lasting impact was her research on the contemporary accounting profession in Canada, particularly in the context of Canada’s recent immigration experience. This work broke new ground as it was the first to examine the responses of national accountancy professions to neo-liberal immigration policies and the impacts of such actions on migrant professionals.
Annisette not only established new streams of research, but has become a leading expert within those streams, providing commentary and analysis for publications on accounting and race and accounting and imperialism.
The majority of Dr. Annisette’s research has been published in high-quality, peer-reviewed journals such as Accounting Organizations and Society (AOS), the top-ranked journal for her area of research, and she has also been the recipient of best paper awards and research funding. Her published articles have netted more than 1,500 citations, most of which have come in the past decade — a strong sign that her scholarly work is growing in relevance and impact.
Marcia Annisette is an outstanding scholar, teacher and administrator who has “excelled in all dimensions and has done so with remarkable energy, enthusiasm and dedication.”

She has also served as a member of the editorial boards of 10 journals, including all of the leading journals in the field of Interdisciplinary and Critical Accounting Research. She was Co-Editor-in-Chief for the journal Critical Perspectives on Accounting (CPA) and Co-Editor-in-Chief of Accounting Organizations and Society, the premier journal for Interdisciplinary Accounting Research. In June 2018, she was selected to become the first academic from outside of Europe to sit on the Management Committee of the European Accounting Association, more evidence of the high esteem in which she is held internationally.
What is most remarkable about her scholastic achievements is the fact that they’ve occurred while Annisette has shouldered numerous administrative duties. Over the course of her academic career, she has assumed numerous leadership roles at Schulich, including Accounting Area Coordinator, Associate Dean, Students,
and Associate Dean, Academic. She was also the inaugural Director of the school’s Master of Accounting (MAcc) Program, Schulich’s most successful specialized Master program in terms of annual enrolment.
She has also been immersed in curriculum development, including the creation of new courses, has served on countless program committees, steering committees and task forces, has volunteered her time as a mentor to students and graduates, and has been involved in the recruitment of new faculty and students and the establishment of strategic partnerships with various professional associations such as the Institute of Chartered Accountants Ontario.
Annisette spearheaded two major recent initiatives at the school.
She oversaw the creation of the Office of Curriculum Innovation and Teaching Excellence (CITE), a new office established to consolidate the resources and expertise related

to teaching, learning and academic program quality that had previously been housed in separate units, and she spearheaded the creation of the school’s Working Group on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. The Working Group was established to identify ways to create greater Black and Indigenous representation among our students, staff and faculty, to integrate Black and Indigenous perspectives into our curriculum and learning, and to strengthen our engagement with external stakeholders to create greater career and business opportunities for Black and Indigenous people.
But for Annisette, the most gratifying aspect of her academic career thus far has been her role in mentoring and helping PhD students and watching them embark on an academic career. Says Annisette: “With that comes the guarantee of continuity of the academy and, most importantly, the promise of its renewal and regeneration.”
Annisette says she never forgets a remark that one of her professors at the University of the West Indies made, which was that he got paid to read and think — a job he would have otherwise done for free. “That remark reminds me of how privileged the career of an academic is. And for me with this privilege comes a huge responsibility, the most important being to pursue knowledge not for instrumental reasons such as the journal article publication or citation count, but out of a genuine intellectual curiosity about a topic.”
Adds Annisette: “It’s that genuine curiosity to solve a puzzle that pushes you to read constantly and think incessantly about it. Once you follow that passion, that nagging thirst to crack the research puzzle, then the journal articles, the citations and all the other extrinsic measures of research success will follow. Too often I see
young academics starting from the extrinsic — for example, what topics have the greatest citations — and then working back to their research topic. That’s a wrongheaded approach. My advice, in a nutshell, is be fueled by your passion.”
Annisette foresees a lot of changes in the field of accounting in the decade ahead. “Accounting is a social science and so the big issues facing the field are no different from the big issues facing all the social sciences, namely, solving the grand challenges of our times,” she notes. “The accelerating rate of climate change, rising social inequality, a frightening surge in right-wing extremism, global pandemics, are issues of such significance that they pose existential threats to our planet and our social world as we know it.”
She believes we need to get a better understanding of how accounting has participated in the acceleration of these existential threats and “how accounting can be harnessed to alleviate, if not attenuate, them.” But the greatest agent of transformation
will likely be Artificial Intelligence, predicts Annisette. “It will have monumental impacts on knowledge production and on the nature of our human society itself.”
In the meantime, Annisette continues to leave a remarkable legacy at the school. She has played a significant role in making Schulich’s Accounting Area one of the School’s most successful and externally acclaimed departments, has attained very high standing internationally as a scholar, and has contributed enormously to enhancing the school’s programs and governance.
In summarizing Annisette’s impact and the many contributions to the Schulich School of Business that she has made over the years, Dean Zwick had this to say: “Marcia Annisette is an internationally accomplished scholar and a pioneer in her field, a highly effective leader, and a distinguished ambassador of both Schulich and York. She’s excelled in so many dimensions and has done so with remarkable energy, enthusiasm and grace.”
Dr. Irene Henriques explores the historical and contemporary landscape of Indigenous entrepreneurship.
Indigenous entrepreneurship in Canada is not a recent development but a revival of a rich, vibrant economic tradition that thrived before being disrupted by colonial practices. These vibrant economic traditions were deeply integrated into their way of life. In this article, I invite you to join me in exploring the historical and contemporary landscape of Indigenous entrepreneurship, emphasizing the importance of collaboration with Indigenous communities and the profound impact of these efforts.
Dr. Irene Henriques is a Professor of Sustainability and Economics at the Schulich School of Business, York University. With a deep commitment to social justice and economic development, her research focuses on the intersection of environmental sustainability and economic equity. Supported by a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) of Canada grant, Dr. Henriques has collaborated with various Indigenous scholars, organizations, and community leaders to understand and promote Indigenous entrepreneurship. Her work has been published widely, and she is a co-author of significant studies on Indigenous entrepreneurship, procurement, and economic development.
Imagine a time when Indigenous peoples in Canada engaged in flourishing trade networks and entrepreneurial activities. These vibrant economic traditions were deeply integrated into their way of life.
Pre-contact, Turtle Island (North America) was actively inhabited by Indigenous communities with a strong connection to their land base and characterized by diverse languages, religions, trading practices and cultures. However, the advent of colonialism brought new legal and economic structures that disrupted these practices, leading to widespread marginalization.
My historical essay co-authored with Rick Colbourne and Ana Maria Peredo published in Business History delves into how colonial policies systematically undermined Indigenous entrepreneurship.
Colonial policies not only disrupted but also delegitimized Indigenous trade protocols and entrepreneurial

activities, which were widespread both pre- and post-contact.
Indigenous entrepreneurship, trade and protection ensured the survival and growth of settler communities in the face of significant environmental, social, and political challenges. As conditions changed over time and as settler colonial institutions became established and stronger, they exerted power to change the rules of the game in their favour, thereby marginalizing Indigenous peoples from mainstream socio-economic activities and subjecting them to formal and informal assimilative forces through the imposition of reserves, residential schools, and legislation which limited and, in many cases, banned Indigenous participation in the economic activities in their regions. Ironically, it was the flexible entrepreneurial support offered by Indigenous peoples to settler society that enabled settlers to displace and marginalize them. Despite these adversities, Indigenous peoples have continually adapted and persevered, maintaining their entrepreneurial spirit against all odds.
According to Grand Chief Jerry Daniels, Southern Chiefs’ Organization, economic reconciliation involves building Indigenous community wealth, health and well-being through breaking down barriers to active and meaningful participation in the economy by facilitating full, longterm and equal partnership in current and future business opportunities. Indigenous procurement policies, which represent approximately $200 billion a year in economic activity, possess the potential to yield significant social and economic benefits for Indigenous communities. Collectively, Indigenous peoples, communities, organizations, and businesses in Canada are collaborating to foster procurement policies that facilitate economic reconciliation and promote socioeconomic health and well-being for all Indigenous nations and organizations across Canada. The Government of Canada’s mandate for 5% of procurement contracts to be awarded to Indigenous businesses
by 2024 is a significant step towards economic reconciliation. Unfortunately, there is a paucity of data regarding current Indigenous procurement activities and the capacity needs necessary to support and facilitate Indigenous business growth.
To address this gap, we partnered with the Council for the Advancement of Native Development Officers (Cando) to survey Indigenous businesses across Canada regarding their public procurement experiences. The survey report highlights significant barriers such as limited resources, technical skills, and mentorship. However, the resilience and adaptability of Indigenous businesses shine through these obstacles, underscoring the importance of impactful support and collaboration.
Collaboration with Indigenous communities is crucial for creating meaningful and lasting impact. This involves recognizing the unique challenges faced by Indigenous entrepreneurs and actively engaging with their communities to co-create culturally and contextually appropriate
solutions. To fully harness the potential of Indigenous entrepreneurship, targeted interventions are necessary. These include enhanced support systems with increased access to financial resources, technical training, and mentorship; policy adjustments to simplify RFP (Request for Proposal) processes and reduce insurance and experience requirements; and knowledge exchange platforms to facilitate forums and networks for sharing best practices and experiences among Indigenous entrepreneurs.
My work has not only been limited to Canada. Greenland stands as a unique example in the world, where Indigenous peoples, specifically the Inuit, possess significant political agency and power. This autonomy has enabled them to shape their economic and environmental policies directly. Steffen Böhm and I explored Greenland’s response to a proposed mining project. This research reveals critical lessons in the exercise of Indigenous power and sustainable development.
According to Grand Chief Jerry Daniels, Southern Chiefs’ Organization, economic reconciliation involves building Indigenous community wealth, health and well-being through breaking down barriers to active and meaningful participation in the economy by facilitating full, long-term and equal partnership in current and future business opportunities.
In Greenland, the Inuit community faced a dilemma that resonates with Indigenous entrepreneurs in Canada. A proposed mining project threatened their traditional livelihoods, prompting a robust resistance. The Inuit community’s successful contestation of the mining project underscores the importance of balancing economic development with cultural and environmental preservation.
The Greenland case provides several key insights. Firstly, the Inuit community’s victory demonstrates the power of political agency and community engagement in safeguarding traditional ways of life. This success story underscores the importance of self-determination and active involvement in economic decisions affecting Indigenous communities. Secondly, integrating traditional knowledge and sustainable practices into modern business ventures proves crucial. Such an approach not only preserves cultural heritage but also promotes long-term environmental stewardship.
“ My work has not only been limited to Canada. Greenland stands as a unique example in the world, where Indigenous peoples, specifically the Inuit, possess significant political agency and power. This autonomy has enabled them to shape their economic and environmental policies directly.”
Professor of Sustainability and Economics, Schulich School of Business
Finally, the Greenland experience highlights the potential conflicts between economic development and environmental preservation. Indigenous entrepreneurs and non-Indigenous businesses must navigate these challenges to ensure their ventures contribute positively to communities without compromising cultural and environmental heritage.
Indigenous entrepreneurship is a vital component of Canada’s economic landscape. However, it is important to understand that it is not just about money.
As my colleague Rick Colbourne states: “Most Indigenous peoples have a land-based, holistic and relational worldview that is both spiritual and material. It is an expression of their identity, culture and values that encompasses their livelihood and community and continuity of their cultures, values and traditions.”
With increased recognition of rights come increased opportunities for Indigenous entrepreneurship. By addressing the challenges and leveraging these opportunities, we can move towards a more inclusive and equitable economy. The ongoing efforts and resilience of Indigenous entrepreneurs serve as a testament to their enduring spirit and potential for driving economic reconciliation.
A leader in the field of language and how it affects consumer attitudes, impacts brand and employee perceptions, and shapes behaviour.
Language is more central to business than ever before. Social media and online review text are mined for consumer sentiment and behavioural prediction. Customer service chatbots and digital advertisers test and learn how subtle language variations impact satisfaction, clicks, and purchases — often in near real-time. The advent of large language models and accessible ways to use them (e.g., ChatGPT) are transforming a huge range of organizational efforts. One of Schulich’s marketing professors is a leader in this burgeoning field of research, revealing how language reflects consumer attitudes, impacts brand and employee perceptions, and shapes behaviour.
Grant Packard, Associate Professor of Marketing and Director of the Master of Marketing degree program at Schulich, has been engaged in research on language in the marketplace since 2012. Since that time, he has published over 20 articles on language-driven insight in elite academic and managerial outlets such as the Journal of Marketing Research, Journal of Consumer Research, Journal of Consumer Psychology, Harvard Business Review, MIT Sloan Management Review and others. His research has been covered by media
including The Globe and Mail, Harvard Business Review, The Wall Street Journal, CBC, NBC and many more. Packard has been invited to present more than 70 times at conferences, symposia, and corporate events. Most recently, he’s published a series of articles and run workshops to help scholars and organizations learn how to apply natural language processing and text analysis methods to their own efforts.

behavioural insight has led to a massive boom in research on the subject, with an over 300% increase in such research published in the last decade. Over two-thirds of consumer research scholars and a majority of organizations now use language analysis and modeling to inform efforts in marketing and beyond. Due in part to this boom, Packard is one of just a handful of scholars worldwide who currently serves as an Associate Editor at three of the top five academic marketing journals, as ranked by the Financial Times

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE KEY INSIGHTS PACKARD AND HIS COLLEAGUES HAVE DISCOVERED IN THEIR EXPLORATION OF MARKETPLACE LANGUAGE?
For decades, research interested in language in the market was focused on marketing communication, asking whether firms used the right words in advertising. But starting around 15 years ago, the scale of digital media and e-commerce activity and ‘big data’ capabilities made massive amounts of consumer-generated text accessible to organizations and scholars.
Packard’s dissertation research at the University of Michigan was part of the first wave of research diving deep into consumer language in online reviews. Consumers turn to reviews in part because they seem more trustworthy than advertising. But Packard’s research revealed several ways this trust may be misguided. One article revealed that people who feel like they don’t know enough about a product category are significantly more likely to write reviews than those who feel confident in their knowledge. They do this to compensate for insecurity in their category knowledge. Someone who feels as if they don’t know a lot about cars, for example, is more likely to go out of their way to signal their expertise about cars, and why the one they chose is the best option.
Another of Packard’s dissertation papers showed how the effect of boasting or bragging about one’s own category knowledge in online settings depends heavily on other trust cues. If received from someone you know (or feel like you know), boasting enhances persuasion. But if that person is (or feels like) a stranger, the same behaviour makes you trust them less, and makes you less interested in the product they’re talking about.
Packard has also looked at particular parts of speech (e.g., verbs) in digital media with a co-author from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Unsurprisingly, verbs that convey explicit endorsement (“I recommend this wine”) are more persuasive than those that just signals one’s own attitudes (“I enjoyed this wine”). But experts tend to avoid explicit endorsements because they know others might not have the same preferences. Packard and his co-author showed this pattern of language use can cause people to choose objectively inferior products because they end up following category novices’ recommendations. Other work they’ve published on verb tense revealed that using present, rather than past, tense to share the same attitude (“That movie is/was great!”) is more persuasive.
A second area of Packard’s research focuses on language in the marketplace of ideas. Songs, movies, books, articles and other cultural products seem likely to succeed or fail, in part, on the words contained within them. Packard and his colleagues have investigated this phenomena in a variety of ways.
In the arts, one project revealed the importance of lyrical novelty when it comes to a song’s commercial success (e.g., Billboard chart rankings). Using a natural language processing method known as Latent Dirichlet Allocation, Packard and his co-author revealed that artists who lyrically push the bounds of their genre were more successful. Drake’s success, for example, is linked in part to his willingness to signal personal and emotional uncertainty in his lyrics, which is atypical in rap and hip hop.
Another article revealed the importance of second person pronouns in this setting. “You” pronouns in song lyrics, for example, engage listeners because they help the listener imagine a “you” in their own life. So, when Whitney Houston sings “I will always love you,” audiences imagine someone they (not Whitney) will always love, which makes them like the song more.
Other cultural products research Packard has been involved with in this domain has revealed how narrative dynamics (e.g., the pace or circuitousness of a movie script) are linked to consumer reception of cultural products, and how linguistic style has a significant impact on the adoption of new ideas even in a domain where content should be paramount: academic articles.
“You”
pronouns in song lyrics engage listeners because they help the listener imagine a “you” in their own life. So, when Whitney Houston sings “I will always love you,” audiences imagine someone they (not Whitney) will always love, which makes them like the song more.
While the language used by marketers, consumers, and in cultural products has seen a lot of attention, sales and service conversations have seen relatively little attention. This is surprising given firms spend, on average, more on these efforts than any other aspect of marketing, and more than any other human resource investment. The dearth of research in this area seems due in part to the difficulty of observing and capturing this more private form of marketplace language, whether it happens in person, by email, or in online chats.
But Packard and colleagues from the University of Alberta, University of Michigan, and Wharton have led a concerted effort to shed light on understanding customer-firm conversations. His first work in this area returned to the personal pronouns he studied in song lyrics. Where he found employees avoid referring to themselves as an individual, instead talking about themselves as a member of the firm ‘team’ (“We can help with that” rather than “I can help with that”), this was exactly the opposite of what they should be doing to satisfy customers and increase sales. In another article, Packard’s research team studied the importance of concrete language. Using specific, concrete words signals that the employee is paying attention to the customer’s needs (e.g., “Did you find the blue jeans you were looking for?”) rather than generically going through the motions with more abstract words (e.g., pants, items).
Most recently, Packard and colleagues from Cheung Kong GSB (Shanghai) and Wharton introduced a new approach that combines dynamic modeling and machine learning to identify when language matters. Rather than merely saying employees should speak concretely, whether this matters could be contingent on when in a conversation it is used. The approach’s potential was demonstrated by challenging the ‘warmth competence paradox’, a longstanding recommendation from psychology and management research that people should present themselves as warm or competent, but never both. Packard and colleagues’ research updated this belief by revealing that using warm language is more important at the start and end of an interaction, while competent language matters more only in the middle ‘business’ part. In essence, firms can maximize satisfaction and purchases by being both warm and competent in one interaction, but at appropriate times.
Packard and colleagues’ research updated this belief by revealing that using warm language is more important at the start and end of an interaction, while competent language matters more only in the MIDDLE ‘BUSINESS’ PART.
Packard’s latest research is turning to receptiveness to political messages from ‘across the aisle.’ His research team is using large language models, corpus dictionaries, and human judgment to gain insight on language cues that might encourage people to process and consider message content from an ‘opposition’ politician rather
than quickly rejecting it due only to the source. He hopes this effort will contribute to efforts to reduce political polarization, a widely recognized challenge to individual, interpersonal, and societal well-being in Canada and beyond.
Packard noted the importance of Schulich’s community of world-leading researchers in encouraging and supporting his efforts. Beyond the research culture and events at Schulich, he’s benefitted greatly from an

In addition, Packard noted the importance of the Schulich Research Office’s support in winning external grant applications (e.g., SSHRC, Marketing Science Institute). He also enjoys engaging in the development of future professors by supervising student research within the Schulich PhD program and with students from schools in the U.S., Asia, and Europe with whom he is currently working.
As the cost of living continues to skyrocket, an increasing number of people are being inspired by their hobbies, passions, and social media influencers to earn extra income to help cover their expenses.
But what about in developing countries where citizens cannot look to TikTok for ideas, or afford to attend classes for formal education? How would existing entrepreneurs in developing countries learn about market research, business planning and experimentation to expand their businesses?
Providing entrepreneurship training programs to individuals living in poverty has been a growing trend worldwide over the past two decades; with unfortunately limited success. However, research from Schulich suggests that the way new entrepreneurial practices are framed can significantly impact their adoption by trainees.
The findings are contained in an article in the Journal of Business Venturing titled, “Exploring the relative efficacy of ‘within-logic contrasting’ and ‘cross-logic analogizing’ framing tactics for adopting new entrepreneurial practices in contexts of poverty”. The article was co-written by Geoffrey M. Kistruck, Professor and RBC Chair in Social Innovation & Impact at Schulich, together with Charlene Zietsma, the Max McGraw Professor of Sustainable Enterprise at the University of Michigan’s School for Environment and Sustainability;
Angelique Slade Shantz, an Assistant Professor of Strategy, Entrepreneurship and Management at the University of Alberta; and Luciano Barin Cruz, Director of Sustainability Transition at HEC Montréal.
The researchers conducted a mixed-methods field experiment in rural Sri Lanka, partnering with an entrepreneurship education and training organization, involving 683 entrepreneurs. Many of these participants are “necessity entrepreneurs,” who generally resist altering their product offerings or sales methods. As a result, their products, pricing, and sales approach remain nearly indistinguishable from one another.
FRAMING TACTICS
The researchers used two framing tactics for introducing new entrepreneurial practices.
The first framing tactic — “withinlogic contrasting” — is the dominant framing approach used currently and is focused on distinguishing the behaviour of unsuccessful entrepreneurs with highly successful entrepreneurs or ‘role models’ who used the newly prescribed entrepreneurial practices.
The within-logic contrasting condition featured examples of Sri Lankan entrepreneurs who became large and successful by repeatedly engaging in small, low- or no-cost experiments with product, process, and marketing innovations. These examples explicitly linked entrepreneurial success with the new business practice of micro-experimentation and was repeatedly contrasted with the lack of success faced by typical Sri Lankan entrepreneurs who did not engage in micro-experimentation.
The researchers used two framing tactics for introducing new entrepreneurial practices:

2 Within-logic contrasting Cross-logic analogizing
The dominant framing approach focused on distinguishing the behaviour of unsuccessful entrepreneurs with highly successful entrepreneurs.
Designed by the researchers focusing on likening the newly prescribed entrepreneurial practices to activities that individuals routinely engage in within the non-business domains of their lives.
The second framing tactic — “cross-logic analogizing” — was an alternative designed by the researchers and focused on likening the newly prescribed entrepreneurial practices to activities that individuals routinely engage in within the non-business domains of their lives.
More specifically, the sensemaking examples within the cross-logic analogizing condition illustrated how the newly prescribed business practice of micro-experimentation is similar to common non-business practices such as repeatedly experimenting with new cooking recipes or trying different ways to better protect their children from mosquitoes.
Ultimately, the researchers found that cross-logic analogizing was more efficacious in terms of both a change in entrepreneurial mindset and entrepreneurial behaviour.
“Our research findings contribute to entrepreneurship theory and practice by helping to explain and predict
why and when alternative framing tactics can significantly impact the success or failure of entrepreneurship education and training programs in impoverished regions,” says Kistruck. “Individuals living in poverty are often forced to rely heavily on routines and heuristics in order to survive. Entrepreneurship training efforts that essentially ‘borrow’ from existing logics rather than require the ‘building’ of new logics have a much better chance of ultimately being adopted in such contexts.”
As per one entrepreneur who participated in the “within-logic contrasting” training said:
“(I was) a bit scared to visualize… Because there is a fear that because we have not experienced it before, that can we reach that level… the fear is because we have not tried… that is why even if I know that now, I can stepwise, stepwise then I think how I can develop — still I feel that at that time I was frightened.”
Whereas an entrepreneur from the “cross-logic analogizing” training found success without fear:
“When I introduced the belts and the accessories, the sales become more and more. And I have no way of meeting the demand. And then we have to purchase extra. And the sales were high. And we found a really good place here, so I thought I should introduce the umbrella. Umbrella is now kept inside the showcase because no space to display them. So I need to do it more and more…”
Research proves that supporting entrepreneurship can play an important role in poverty alleviation. However, North Americans must realize that in order for behavioural change to occur, educators must consider the institutional logic-base framing of the entrepreneurs they are hoping to assist.
“ Individuals living in poverty are often forced to rely heavily on routines and heuristics in order to survive. Entrepreneurship training efforts that essentially ‘borrow’ from existing logics rather than require the ‘building’ of new logics have a much better chance of ultimately being adopted in such contexts.”
GEOFFREY M. KISTRUCK Professor and RBC Chair in Social Innovation & Impact, Schulich School of Business
Recently Schulich graduate students were able to support youth entrepreneurs in Costa Rica. The newly launched Innovating for Sustainable Impact (SUST 6151) course provided MBA , Master of Management (MMGT) and Master of Environmental Studies (MES) students the opportunity to travel and learn in an immersive international environment. The primarily project-based course is taught by Professor Kistruck.
“This newly designed course provides students with an opportunity to experience first-hand the complexities associated with designing new business models in contexts with significant social and environmental challenges,” said Kistruck. “Furthermore, it allows our students to collaborate with disadvantaged individuals to help generate innovative ideas that can have a direct and sustainable impact on the communities in which they live.”
At the end of April, a group of 19 graduate students travelled to Costa Rica to collectively identify business models capable of providing meaningful work for youth entrepreneurs. Costa Rica was chosen to engage with the York University Las Nubes Project
“I was amazed by the warmth and openness with which we were welcomed into homes and workplaces,” said Lauren Viray (MBA/JD ’24) “My experience there taught me that communities exist where social innovation and sustainability are integral and embedded into the concept of a successful business. The achievements of one local youth entrepreneur can elevate the entire community’s standard of living.”
Raphael Okenyi (MBA Candidate ’24), said the most impactful aspect of his time in Costa Rica was witnessing firsthand the transformative power of art and community engagement: “Working closely with local entrepreneur Monica Segura, our team saw how art could foster community bonds, support child development, and offer new economic opportunities. The experience reinforced my belief in the potential of business to create positive social change.”
Real Assets
The OMERS & Oxford Real Assets Leadership Institute cements Schulich’s reputation as a global leader in research and education related to the real estate and infrastructure industries.
A housing affordability crisis. Skyrocketing vacancy rates for aging and increasingly obsolete downtown office space. A cooling economy, higher interest rates and structural changes driven by technology and the new world of hybrid work.
These were some of the big issues from the real estate and infrastructure sectors that made business headlines this past year. Schulich’s Real Assets Area, meanwhile, made headlines of its own with the announcement this spring of the new OMERS & Oxford Real Assets Leadership Institute, created to play a role in helping build better cities and cementing Schulich’s reputation as a global leader in research and education related to the real estate and infrastructure industries.
Leading the Real Assets Area is Jim Clayton, Professor, Timothy R. Price Chair in Real Estate and Infrastructure, and Director of Schulich’s Master of Real Estate and Infrastructure (MREI) Program.
Clayton, who boasts impressive industry experience as former Head of Real Estate Investment Strategy and Analytics for global investment manager Barings, was called on to provide expert commentary for a report from Bloomberg that showed Canada’s biggest pension funds took a $1.24 trillion hit to their real estate investments during the past year.
Clayton chalked up the negative returns to “normal” cyclical forces at
play but also to the massive structural shift underway in a post-Covid world where how and where people work and live is having a profound impact on the real estate industry.
Commercial real estate — and the office sector in particular — is bearing the brunt of this structural re-alignment, says Clayton.
Joseph Ogilvie, the new OMERS & Oxford Chair in Real Assets, agrees. “Commercial office is struggling,” says Ogilvie, an industry veteran with nearly two decades of experience in construction and development. “Office vacancy rates in cities like Toronto were around two percent only five years ago. That’s no longer the case.”
“Commercial office is struggling. Office vacancy rates in cities like Toronto were around two percent only five years ago. That’s no longer the case.”
JOSEPH OGILVIE
OMERS & Oxford Chair in Real Assets, Schulich School of Business
Adds Ogilvie: “The office buildings suffering the most are Class B and Class C assets that are facing functional obsolescence amid changed tenant and investor preferences, and regulatory regimes that require higher levels of environmental performance. These types of buildings are not inexpensive to retrofit and very often the business case for doing so simply isn’t there, posing the risk that these buildings may become stranded assets.”
“Many of these kinds of office buildings are owned by Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) that have had to endure significant reductions in income even as their debt servicing costs have risen with interest rates,” notes Ogilvie. “The net effect has been lower dividend payouts, lower earnings per share trajectories, and an evisceration of share price. Some REITs have seen significant downgrades to their credit ratings as well.”
“The pandemic was around for long enough to entrench and normalize new expectations with regard to office work,” says Ogilvie. “There have been clear winners and losers coming out of the pandemic with commercial office, multifamily, retail and hospitality all seeing a continued flight to quality. Meanwhile, real estate related to logistics and distribution, self storage, and data centres have been doing really well.”
The emergence of the work-fromhome era is one of the areas being explored by Avis Devine, an Associate Professor of Real Estate Finance and Sustainability at Schulich.
Devine, who worked in commercial real estate underwriting and valuation for a US bank prior to becoming an academic, is looking at Canadian office space post-Covid, particularly in light of the resettling taking place in office markets as lower-quality assets struggle with lower occupancy due to the work-from-home trend and the rise of a new hybrid workplace.
“A lot of employees no longer want to come into urban cores following the pandemic because of commute time, travel costs, and other expenses,” says Devine. “It can be very costly in terms of time and money. So some companies are modifying their approach: they’re telling workers they have come back to the office for a certain amount of time every week, but they can choose which office they go to. And increasingly — especially for employees who live outside the city — they’re choosing to go to suburban offices.”

And increasingly — especially for employees who live outside the city — they’re choosing to go to suburban offices.”
AVIS DEVINE Associate Professor, Real Estate Finance and Sustainability, Schulich School of Business
As a result, says Devine, “we’re seeing large downtown office footprints decamping some of their space to smaller footprints scattered throughout the suburbs.”
The environmental implications of this trend, should it persist, are significant, argues Devine. “Much of the travel to downtown office space comes from public and active transport such as walking and biking. But if there’s a mass exodus of office users from the downtown core to suburban offices that workers have drive to, then the traffic and carbon implications are enormous.”
The rise of a new hybrid workplace has sparked a so-called “flight to quality” in the office sector, which is a major reason why lower-quality assets are struggling with lower occupancy rates. Devine is also investigating whether more “sustainable spaces” are becoming part of the new definition of what constitutes quality office space.
Lyndsey Rolheiser , an Assistant Professor of Real Estate and new addition to the Real Assets team at Schulich, has also carried out research that looks at the growing work-from-home phenomenon. In a research paper currently under review, Rolheiser, who has a PhD in Urban Economics from MIT, examined commercial real estate in the city and the suburbs using data from more than 250 major cities in the US.
Pre-Covid, says Rolheiser, companies often paid a premium to get office space in city centres, but since Covid firms have been downsizing space in urban cores or not renewing leases altogether.
Rolheiser noted that values for some office buildings have dropped nearly 50 percent in some North American cities. “As buildings sell or get reassessed for tax purposes, we’re seeing downward trends in some cities,” said Rolheiser. She also said that metropolitan areas such as San Francisco, New York and Toronto, which have a high proportion of
knowledge workers able to work from home and long commute times, have been especially hard hit.
With the growing vacancy in urban office space post-Covid, there’s been a lot of talk about converting unused office space into urban residential housing. However, there is limited research from a real estate economics perspective on this topic.
Rolheiser explored the issue in a recently published research paper that looked at non-residential to residential conversions in New York City during the period 2010–2020.
Her findings showed that there were far fewer units converted to residential versus the 1990s. One reason was the so-called “stock” available — the type of buildings that became available for conversion, which often had more “liveable” features and were generally more economical to convert. But another reason was greater government incentives, which dried up by the mid-2000s. Rolheiser notes that new public policies are beginning to emerge that target the large vacancy rates and declining value of office buildings.

While the work-from-home trend garnered a lot of media attention, the industry remained predominantly focused on sustainability — which was also the focus of a great deal of the research work done by professors in the Real Assets Area.
Decarbonization has risen to the top of the agenda, notes Clayton, and although the real estate industry has been slow to adopt new innovations and technologies, he says there’s been a lot of catch-up lately, particularly with regard to using AI-driven data analysis to measure energy emissions. “There’s been a massive shift to sustainability in the industry,” says Clayton. “When it comes to decarbonization, you can’t improve if you’re not measuring.”
Innovative new approaches are also emerging, says Clayton, pointing to a company called Efficiency Capital which pays upfront for technological investments aimed at improving energy efficiency and then gets compensated by hitting efficiency targets.
Rolheiser says there’s been a lot of research published on residential real estate and air pollution, but very little when it comes to commercial real estate. In a paper published this year in Real Estate Economics, she looked at whether air pollution negatively impacted commercial real estate and found evidence of a drop in value, particularly within the office sector.
Devine’s research focus historically has been on the financial implications of sustainable investment in commercial real estate. Some of her more recent work has focused on market pricing of green buildings and the recent surge in the use of green bonds and green mortgage-backed securities. One of her current research papers, “Green Bonds: Environmental Performance and Capital Market Response”, analyzes how green bond proceeds are shaping the environmental performance of buildings. “I’m looking at whether there is a change in a real estate firm’s sustainability profile. In other words, when REITs (real estate investment trusts) issue green bonds, are we ending up with greener buildings?” Her research is significant because it addresses a gap in current literature related to concretely measuring the environmental efficacy of green bonds.
Another study Devine is working on looks at energy efficiency in the affordable housing sector through the lens of Fannie Mae, one of the largest liquidity providers in the US residential market and the largest green bond provider in the country, which are used specifically to spur environmental improvements. “Greater energy and water efficiency increases housing affordability,” says Devine, but while her research revealed that there were, on average, efficiency improvements under this program, there was a wide distribution of outcomes. Also, she found that the efficiency estimates provided by Fannie Mae to prospective investors had little correlation to postimprovement efficiency outcomes.
One solution, says Devine, is to provide data from the efficiency audits completed on each property directly rather than what she calls “secretsauce estimates”, which would lead to greater transparency to potential green bond investors. Another solution, according to Devine, would be to enact clawbacks on the program benefits when required efficiency improvement goals are not met, which may in turn may lead to a “better calibration of the program.”
In addition to cutting-edge research, the Real Assets Area is also exploring innovative new solutions to tackle pressing industry challenges through its Tim and Francis Price Urban Lab, led by Karen Shlesinger, who is also Director of the Sustainable Infrastructure Fellowship Program housed at Schulich. The global program brings together major infrastructure companies, government officials and investors from around the world to create more sustainable, climate-friendly infrastructure.
Also bolstering the School’s infrastructure expertise is James McKellar, who founded Schulich’s real estate program in the early 1990s after establishing the first real estate program in North America at MIT. McKellar’s newly released book, Business of Infrastructure: The Role of Private Investment Capital, explores the role of private investment capital in real estate, urbanization and infrastructure, including how infrastructure is a vital tool in addressing climate change.

As the OMERS & Oxford Chair in Real Assets, Joe Ogilvie will spur greater collaboration between Schulich’s Real Asset Area and industry as well as the broader research community.
One of the Institute’s key mandates, says Ogilvie, is advancing applied research. “Our work focuses on three synergistic themes: the urban transition to a net zero emissions economy, community vibrance and resilience, and the most important social concern facing urban dwellers: housing affordability.”
He says the OMERS & Oxford Institute will focus on “working with industry collaborators to evolve business models to better allow implementation and scaling of proven solutions and getting them into operating environments.”
Clayton also says the “landscape between real estate and infrastructure is blurring with the emergence of new assets such as data centres and affordable housing — assets that can be classified as either real estate or infrastructure, or as both.” He adds that, historically, there have been four major property classes: retail, industrial, office and multi-family residential. But more
recently, much of the growth in the industry has come from non-traditional or niche segments such as self-storage buildings, seniors’ residences, student housing complexes and data centres.
In the face of sweeping transformational change, the real assets sector will increasingly look to insights and new knowledge from leading real estate research hubs like Schulich, says Clayton.
“The Real Assets Area at Schulich has really ramped up the academic side in a very applied and practical way with a focus on research that matters to both industry and society.”
One of the Institute’s key mandates is advancing applied research, which focuses on three synergistic themes:
Urban transition to a net zero emissions economy

This recognition goes beyond a personal accolade; it is a testament to Schulich’s commitment to pioneering research and academic excellence. Perry Sadorsky’s research focuses on business issues related to energy, the natural environment, and financial markets. He also has an interest in digital assets and machine learning.
His current research topics include: Energy usage in developed and developing economics (UN SDGs 7, 12, 13); Energy markets, financial markets and the economy; Clean energy financing and investing; Risk management; Digital assets; and Machine learning applications in business.
Perry Sadorsky feels fortunate to be a founding contributor to two important areas of research. The first area of research is business sustainability. His interest in business sustainability dates back to 1992 when he was greatly inspired by the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro.
The focus of the conference was on finding ways to conduct economic development without destroying the natural environment. While economic incentives (regulation) and contractual incentives (agency theory) are two ways that firms can respond to environmental issues, stakeholder engagement is also an important motivator. His work on business sustainability focuses on the role that different stakeholders have in shaping the importance of environmental sustainability to business. These stakeholders can be primary (employees, customers, supply chain) or secondary (societal, regulatory).
The second area of research is energy finance. Perry’s interest in energy finance started by studying the interaction between fossil fuel prices, like oil, and financial markets. Since oil is used in the production or transportation of almost everything that is consumed, changes in oil prices can affect firm-level profitability. Oil has been the dominant fuel for the past one hundred years, but
will this continue into the future? Energy security, climate change, technology innovation, and consumer preferences for green products are powerful forces shaping the demand and supply of clean energy. Perry’s research has expanded to include work on how these forces impact the financing, development, and adoption of clean energy.
Perry’s research has appeared in the Journal of Management Studies, Energy Economics, Academy of Management Journal, Energy Policy, Applied Economics Letters, Canadian Journal of Economics, Global Finance Journal, Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, and other journals. His research has also been recognized through the Schulich School of Business Research Excellence Fellowship program. Perry has designed and taught courses at the undergraduate and MBA levels, earning multiple nominations for teaching award for teaching excellence in both BBA and MBA programs.

Matt’s research splits into two streams. The first considers the sociology of financial reporting, with a focus on the performance of numbers and the role of accounting information in high-stakes social interactions. For example, Matt has spent more than a decade studying analyst-manager meetings, particularly earnings calls. His research tends to focus on the Question and Answer phase, where he considers not only what questions get asked and why, but also seeks explanations for what questions do not get asked. In this field, economics arguments tend to dominate (i.e., questions seek to elicit useful information), but there is room for a more nuanced view, whereby information can be passed between interactants tacitly via a variety of questioning/non-questioning and answering/ non-answering techniques. Matt has also studied the depth and breadth of the behind-thescenes work that goes on inside organizations to prepare management for these encounters, and what that means for the public performance of the numbers.
The second stream of Matt’s research work focuses on improving awareness of workplace challenges, including issues of diversity, discrimination, and stigmatization. Matt is also interested in how workers find ways to cope with these challenges, particularly through identity work. Occasionally, these streams cross over, such as with his work on board diversity strategies, and the challenges (and opportunities) for women analysts.
The Schulich Research Excellence Fellowship has helped Matt to further these research interests. For example, Matt is currently developing and testing a theoretically informed model to predict whether a question gets answered during an earnings call Q&A session. This means studying the interactions between the questions and question-askers, as well as the answers and answer-providers. The Fellowship scheme is also allowing time and space to gather data on stock coverage initiations, which will hopefully lead to conversations with the analysts involved.
The fellowship has also allowed Matt to engage more with the academic and professional accounting community. For example, alongside normal reviewer and editorial duties, he has guest-edited Special Issues at two journals in the last year or so, taken up a position on the academic advisory committee at the CASB, and recently begun co-organizing a seminar series which is entirely online and freely accessible to anyone who might be interested. Having said that, there are few more important things than being able to spend more time with doctoral students and research assistants. After all, they are the future!

Yuval Deutsch’s current research examines inter and intra organization prosocial and antisocial behaviours. Yuval employs mathematical modelling panel data analysis and conceptual theoretical development in his research. His research is multidisciplinary in nature and draws on a wide range of disciplines, such as economics, evolutionary psychology, and philosophy.
Yuval highly appreciates receiving the Schulich Research Excellence Fellowship, which will allow him to focus on the three SSHRC-funded research projects he is currently involved in. The first, entitled “Fostering Trust Between Leaders and Their Followers: A Signaling Framework”, draws on evolutionary psychology and anthropology to develop a mathematical model and empirically test communicative value of trusting. The second, entitled “Identifying the Instrumental Logics Imprinted in Stakeholder Theory”, draws on the philosopher Richard Rorty’s pragmatism to unearth the possibility for new corporate target functions while emphasizing harm reduction, solidarity, and social mobility. A part of this project is demonstrating why the time has come to retire instrumental stakeholder theory. The third project, “Social Capital, Corporate Social Responsibility, and Corporate Irresponsibility”, draws on the community social capital literature. It aims to shed new light on why firms constantly engage in irresponsible activities by looking beyond organizational factors and identifying the entrenched institutional conditions that impede the conversion of firms into responsible ones. Specifically, it scrutinizes the role of regional social connectedness in facilitating or limiting the responsible behaviour of firms.
Together, these research projects aim to advance a human-centric target function of firms — one that is not solely focused on shareholder value but extends firms’ purpose to include prosocial ideas such as trust, social mobility, and community building while uprooting the legitimacy of corporations’ harmful behaviours.

Most of Ming Dong’s research is in the field of behavioural finance, which studies corporate finance and investments by abandoning the dated belief that financial markets are fully efficient and asset prices reflect only fundamental information. He and his former doctoral students have embarked on research projects that shed light on how workplace sexual harassment hurts firm value and how social networks impact financial markets.
In the first paper, his team investigates the financial consequences of sexual harassment in the workplace. Traditional research uses event studies and finds a negative value impact of less than 1% when harassment scandals are reported. However, these studies likely understate the value impact of a toxic corporate culture because scandals may not capture the timeliness and pervasiveness of sexual harassment. One of his recent studies analyzed Glassdoor employee reviews to investigate workplace sexual harassment risks. This work provided new estimates of the economic damage caused by a toxic culture, revealing impacts on firm value that are over ten times greater than previously believed.
Second, Dong’s team examines the effect of social connection in spreading non-fundamental information and affecting financial markets. They find that during the COVID pandemic outbreak of March 2020, mutual fund managers located in or socially connected to pandemic “hotspots” such as New York committed more panic selling, indicating that social networks spread fear. Moreover, unskilled fund managers were negatively affected by such fear and traded irrationally, leading to fund underperformance.
Ming will continue to explore burgeoning topics in behavioural finance. He plans to examine whether executives’ personal biases influence corporate policies. For example, CEOs who have experienced recessions or natural disasters may be more risk-averse and adopt more conservative financial and investment policies. Such work has the potential to uncover new insights into corporate decision-making.

Cameron Graham has established a global reputation for his ground-breaking research on the relationship between accounting and poverty. His work has examined the subjugation of First Nations in Canada, the development of the Canadian retirement income system, the use of social impact bonds to fund homelessness services in the UK, the implementation of for-profit microfinance in rural Sri Lanka, the use of lending agreements by the World Bank to restructure basic education in Latin America, and the attempts of multinational companies to develop bottom-of-the-pyramid business programs in Mali.
Cameron has completed this wide range of research topics in collaboration with leading critical accounting, business ethics, and management scholars. The resulting papers have been published in top-tier journals in both accounting and management.
Cameron is a pioneer in knowledge mobilization and in the use of technology in teaching. His podcast on academic research has helped a diverse group of scholars around the world talk about their research. His YouTube channel, featuring lessons on how to apply critical thinking to accounting, is the backbone of his MBA and undergraduate financial accounting courses.
Cameron’s current research is focused on the problem of assessing and reporting social impact. Funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), he and his co-authors have studied the lack of accountability of for-profit long-term care providers during the pandemic. Cameron is now conducting a close examination of how an urban non-profit organization can assess and report its impact on the chronic lack of stable housing for poor people. A related project, in conjunction with critical geography researchers, looks at the social impacts of Canadian monetary policy during and after the pandemic.

He accomplishes this through empirical studies spanning a broad spectrum of finance, from corporate to investments and financial markets to the real economy. This entails studying the underlying economic systems but also the effects on the people who comprise the economy.
Kecskés is currently studying several fundamentally closely related labor and finance questions. They share the common purpose of understanding the impact of workers, the labor force as a whole, and labor markets, mutually, on businesses’ operations and financing activities. In one study, Kecskés explores the circumstances and motivations for firms to spend significant sums on developing new AI technologies. He examines the resulting evolution of firms as a result of these innovations including the impact on the workers who are targeted by the AI technology developed by these firms.
In another study, Kecskés is exploring the impact of labor market competition on the treatment that workers receive from their employers. While greater competition within the pool of workers in the labor market can embolden firms to cut costs by lowering wages, reducing employee benefits, and by otherwise pushing their workers to higher productivity relative to their compensation, it also reduces the incentive of employees to make significant, long-term, firm-specific investments that can greatly benefit their employer firms, especially in knowledge industries.
Finally, Kecskés is investigating the effectiveness of local pollution restrictions on emissions by affected firms, their customers, and their employees. Beyond the intended pollution reduction benefits, local pollution restrictions harm local firms and local workers, even as consumers globally pay higher prices for products, and non-local firms and workers benefit. These related investigations stand to furnish policymakers with indications on how to manage AI technology, labor force competition, and environmental objectives in light of their oftentimes conflicting impact on people in the economy.

Nicole Mead Associate Professor of Marketing
What do we owe each other? If you look around you, this question is popping up with increasing frequency as businesses and societies face unprecedented challenges and threats. From climate change to rising international violence, from increasing questions about the damaging effects of social media on mental health to the rise in artificial intelligence, businesses, governments, and consumers are looking to each other and asking the fundamental question of “what” we owe each other (if anything).
The Schulich Research Excellence Fellowship is helping Nicole Mead and her team answer such questions. Questions of rights and responsibilities in society are often examined through the lens of the social contract. This theory, popularized by political philosophers in the 17th and 18 th century, has typically resided within the realms of academics and politicians but the power of the social contract comes from consumers. Nicole and her team have developed a measure to answer the question of whether laypeople believe in the social contract in the first place. The answer is yes, and this is important for predicting consumer decision processes and preferences. For example, the team finds that a strong belief in the social contract leads people to perceive that market exchanges are mutually beneficial rather than exploitive. In an environment where consumers are increasingly becoming skeptical of businesses, this provides a way for managers to segment their market into receptive audiences. It also suggests that highlighting how the business contributes to the social contract could increase positive perceptions toward businesses.
In addition, the team is using belief in the social contract to predict support for coordinated action across multiple stakeholders. This is key as big problems demand big solutions. To solve many of the pressing challenges facing us today, coordinated action across businesses, governments, and consumers are needed. Nicole and her co-authors have found that the belief in the social contract leads people to support costly, controversial, but desperately necessary system-level solutions to challenging problems, such as supporting carbon tax to support climate change.

Sustainable Agriculture in the Global South: Prospects and Challenges of Smallholders’ Product Diversification and Marketing Channel Coordination
Principal Investigator: Preetmohinder S. Aulakh
The agriculture sector plays an important role in the global economy in terms of employment, food security, and environmental footprint. Thus, it figures prominently in the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with the achievement of at least four of its seventeen goals predicated on sustainable agriculture. These goals include ending poverty, ending hunger, conserving water resources, and protecting biodiversity. As the agency entrusted with implementing these goals, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN has identified crop diversification and better access to markets as two key mechanisms to simultaneously achieve the objectives of greater production while ensuring profitability for farmers and a healthy impact on the environment.
However, several progress reports note either no progress or deterioration on these goals, especially in most of the Global South. The objectives of the proposed research are to i) identify the factors influencing the persistent gap between aspirational outcomes and realized outcomes of these Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in developing economies where most of the population continues to be rural and dependent on agriculture for its livelihood, and ii) develop a conceptual framework and a set of propositions linking upstream crop diversification and downstream marketing channel coordination for smallholders to achieve individual and societal goals set out in the UN Agenda.
Private Equity Sponsors in the Leveraged Loan Market
Principal Investigator: Pouyan Foroughi
Private equity-backed firms constitute nearly half of all leveraged loan borrowers. Due to their high default risk, PE owners are key in debt restructurings for distressed firms. As these firms near default, debt overhang issues arise, leading to concerns that equity owners might prioritize their underwater stake over creditors. This anticipated behaviour underscores the importance of covenants in debt contracts to limit actions that could impair loan values.
Pouyan’s research examines if PE-backed firms are more prone to actions favoring their ownership at lenders’ expense, necessitating stricter covenants. Traditional debt models suggest ownership structure is irrelevant, while corporate governance theories propose PE owners might maximize firm value, reducing the need for restrictive covenants and potentially lowering financing costs. However, recent credit market trends show PEs aggressively protecting their equity, harming lender recoveries. Professor Foroughi’s research will analyze loan contract evolution, the pricing of borrower flexibility, and the impact of flexibility on loan price declines, especially for PE-owned firms. Utilizing comprehensive data from the Xtract database, Pouyan’s research will aim to study aims to provide insights into these critical aspects of leveraged loan markets.

Artificial Intelligence Innovation: A Causal Investigation of Why Firms Produce It, How It Impacts Their Workforce, and How Firms Evolve as a Consequence
Principal Investigator: Ambrus Kecskés
Possibly the most powerful general-purpose technology of all time, artificial intelligence (AI) will transform the way we work. The production and diffusion of AI is critically important to workers in a wealthy but small economy like Canada’s. AI technologies typically require substantial scale to develop and implement. Therefore, it is smart to consider how both employers and workers can benefit from AI innovation, naturally for private interests but especially when spending public funds on developing AI.
The recent, sudden proliferation of AI applications makes prediction — and planning — difficult and evidence valuable. Ambrus’ research will provide a better understanding of the business of AI innovation, addressing: (1) why businesses produce AI innovations; (2) how AI innovations impact the workers who are the targets of AI technologies; and (3) how businesses evolve as a consequence of AI innovations. The results will serve as a foundation for guidance on how to develop the technological and business ecosystems for developing and implementing AI, as well as the optimal incentives for AI development.

Curse or Blessing: The Welfare Effects of Algorithmic
Principal Investigator: Guangrui (Kayla) Li
Algorithmic recommendations are widely used in various domains such as social media, e-commerce, and content-sharing platforms. Algorithms predict users’ preferences, recommend content or products accordingly, and influence users’ decisions in an unnoticeable way — more than 80% of consumers’ decisions on Netflix are driven by algorithms, although these consumers believe it to be their own choice.
Despite their prevalence, their impacts on user welfare remains unclear — whether they make users better or worse off. On the one hand, algorithmic recommendations can significantly reduce users’ search costs, and lead to substantial improvements in consumer surplus. Moreover, the consumption of relevant content and products can bring users happiness and wellbeing, thus increasing individual welfare. On the other hand, popular press and scholars alike have pointed out the negative correlation between algorithmic recommendations (especially on social media apps) and both mental health and subjective wellbeing, which lead to a decrease in individual welfare.
In this project, professor Li plans to conduct two large-scale field experiments to answer this question. This research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how, when, and why individuals are impacted by algorithmic recommendations, providing valuable insights for policymakers on algorithm regulation.
GREGORY SAXTON Professor of Accounting
The Role of Automated Bots in the Financial and Consumer Markets
Principal Investigator: Gregory Saxton
Social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Instagram, and StockTwits have attracted billions of people to tweet, pin, post, upload, and share their latest ideas, thoughts, and actions. There is ample evidence that, collectively, these social media users’ posts can influence the consumer and financial markets. More recently, social media platforms have also increasingly attracted non-human bots. Despite evidence that these algorithm-driven bots are designed to influence human users’ conversations, perceptions, and intentions, little empirical work has examined bots’ potentially manipulative role in financial settings. Professor Saxton plans on studying how to enhance our understanding of how bot activity impacts the financial markets through the application of advanced data analytics and AI tools on more than 15 million tweets discussing S&P 1,500 stocks.
This project aims to inform not only academics but also investors, regulators, the media, professional accountants, financial analysts, and financial planners about bots’ influence on consumers and the stock market. Given bots’ growing role in social media platforms and their inherent goal of maneuvering — if not outright manipulating — online discussions, it is critical to understand the ways in which these algorithm-driven actors are impacting consumer and investor outcomes.

Incentive-Focused Corporate Culture
Principal Investigators: Kee-Hong Bae
Should children receive monetary incentives for reading books or achieving good grades? Similarly, should CEOs be rewarded for implementing environmentally friendly policies or promoting gender equity in the workforce?
The pervasive culture of “incentives matter” has permeated into spheres traditionally governed by non-market norms such as ethics and civic duty. While incentives can shape behaviour, they also have the potential to overshadow ethical considerations, resulting in unintended repercussions, as exemplified by the Wells Fargo scandal where the bank’s incentive system incentivized fraudulent practices. This proposed research seeks to explore the impact of incentive-centric corporate cultures on instances of misconduct and litigation risk.
Leveraging a machine learning approach to analyze employee feedback from Indeed.com, professor Bae and his team aim to develop an “incentive culture index” to gauge the prevalence of incentive-driven norms within organizations. Regression analyses will then explore the relationship between this index, corporate misconduct, litigation risk, and a firm’s investment in ESG activities. The findings could challenge the prevailing belief that maximizing shareholder value through incentivization is the most effective approach, highlighting potential drawbacks of market-driven incentives on both economic and social fronts.
Social Capital, Corporate Social Responsibility and Corporate Irresponsibility
Principal Investigator: Yuval Deutsch
Most urgent issues such as climate change, inequality, and human rights violations, are associated with the pervasive irresponsible behaviours of firms. Although the notion of “responsible management” is gaining popularity today, firms constantly engage in irresponsible activities. This conundrum urges us to look beyond organizational factors and identify the entrenched institutional conditions that impede the conversion of firms into responsible ones. Yuval’s research program will scrutinize the role of regional social connectedness in facilitating or limiting the irresponsible behaviour of firms. Specifically, we address two types of social connectedness — cooperative and instrumental. The former facilitates local constituents’ coordination for the regional society’s common good, while the latter is driven by rent-seeking group behaviour.
Professor Deutsch and his team will aim to examine whether cooperative and instrumental social connectedness supports or impedes the enforcement mechanisms of three social control agents: international organizations, local administrations, and newspapers. To facilitate responsible management, learning about regional processes is essential for policymakers because policymakers can limit firms’ irresponsible behaviours to a notable extent by establishing a stable, ethical infrastructure in the long run.
