PB2A 1+2

Steven Huddart is a Smeal Chair Professor in Accounting at Penn State. He is an expert in insider trading as well as stock based compensation. Huddart focuses on questions that surround how decisions are impacted by information, incentives, social norms, and behavioral biases. He also studies how decisions can impact company revenue and people’s actions in ownership and how that can impact a company.
As a person who is interested in business, I have many questions and many things i found interesting about Huddart. For one, he mentions how decisions are impacted by incentives, social norms, information, and behavioral bias. Some of my questions I have are similar to what he studies: Would a company’s CEO succeed more if he was lenient and friendlier to his workers or stern and strict to maintain at a certain pace?, Would one company work with another more often because of loyalty and higher prices or with a company without any loyalty and cheaper prices? CEO’s are the top decision makers. Huddart researches how their choices and actions can help grow a company’s net worth or destroy it.
I want to know what company leaders do and how they think when they make a decision. What do they look for doing? How will their decisions impact a company and make them head in the right direction rather than the wrong. I am also curious how Huddart researches stockholders and how they make decisions on stocks within the market.

    Something that could help you with this question could be looking up different types of management styles, and whether successful managers used these styles. As well as what impact these management styles had on their employees.

PB1A Sale Signs

Image
When thinking of what a genre is, it is a lot more than just a peculiar movie type—such as comedy and drama. Genres can be anything that is textually seen. Though there are varieties of genres, one genre that I am familiar with are ‘Sale Signs and Advertisements’. My familiarity with them comes from my job experience at GNC. I work there as a sales associate and we often have weekend sales consisting of BOGO50, BOGO80, and even sometimes BOGOFREE deals. But, what makes an advertisement and a sale sign, an advertisement and a sale sign? An advertisement or a sale sign is a genre because of its features and conventions. When you look at a GNC sale sign, you’ll notice that that there are some with just “SUPER SALE” written and then there are specific signs that would say “BUY 1 AT REGULAR PRICE GET 1 50% OFF or BUY 1 AT REGULAR PRICE GET 1 UP TO 80% OFF”. These signs are identical but have totally different meanings and what they could bring to the table. When looking at th...

Annotation Strategies

8/23 When I am annotating, I am taking in the information that’s being written and try to relate to it to the best of my ability. In many of my annotations, you would notice how I tend to write “relatable” or even answer the question or statement that’s written. There are different ways to annotate, some are by agreeing or disagreeing with the statements or even questioning what’s written. I also tend to highlight and underline certain lines and phrases that stick out to me. Highlighting and underlining questions and phrases I’m not fully aware of helps understand and put the writing piece together. Annotations definitely help reading any piece much easier. How do other people annotate? Mostly everyone will highlight things that they don’t know. Car for example highlights questions and statements that he isn’t aware of and then comes back to them to answer or answers immediately. By highlighting those sentences that don’t fully make sense at first, Car can und...
