Chicago Convenes

Our big annual event for donors was today. The two panels I helped organize were:

Performance Under Pressure: Experts vs. Amateurs, Insiders vs. Outsiders
Learn when and why talented people choke under pressure from the study of performance of tasks ranging from golf putting to high-stakes academic tests. Compare how managers learn when they compete with rivals within their company and in other companies.
Faculty Panelists: Sian Beilock, Tanya Menon, Howard Nusbaum

An Emerging Giant: China Today and Tomorrow
China’s rapidly expanding economy and increasing military and diplomatic presence on the world scene is the focus of a panel that will explore what kind of relationship the U.S. and China will have in the decades ahead and China’s influence on the global economy.
Faculty Panelists: James Hevia, Raghuram Rajan, Dali Yang
