Non-dairy milk substitutes like oat milk cost more than cow’s milk does. Some large chains like Starbucks have stopped charging extra for milk substitutes, but independent cafes can struggle to absorb the costs. “A local café doesn’t have the sales volume,” says <a href="/desautels/vivek-astvansh"><strong>Vivek Astvansh</strong></a>, Associate Professor of Quantitative Marketing and Analytics.</p> Fri, 31 Jan 2025 19:04:46 +0000 admin 141150 at /dobson /dobson/channels/news/union-demands-higher-wages-leading-longer-negotiations-collective-bargaining-363039 <p>Collective agreements are taking longer to negotiate. For agreements reached in 2024, negotiations took more than 13 months on average. The year before, negotiations averaged just seven months. “Canada is still dealing with the lingering effects of the pandemic, including a return to normal inflation,” Professor<a href="/desautels/john-paul-ferguson"><strong> John-Paul Ferguson</strong></a> tells The Globe and Mail. “That has been complicating a lot of negotiations because unions are demanding higher wage increases.”</p> Fri, 31 Jan 2025 19:06:18 +0000 admin 141149 at /dobson /dobson/channels/news/amazon-close-quebec-warehouses-affecting-1700-jobs-363040 <p>Amazon Canada is closing all of its Quebec warehouses, affecting nearly 2,000 employees. The company claims the move is to provide long-term savings to customers and is unrelated to recent unionization efforts. However, industry experts, including 9I��������� business Professor<a href="/desautels/vivek-astvansh"><strong> Vivek Astvansh</strong></a>, suggest the closures are a response to union activities.</p> Fri, 31 Jan 2025 19:07:38 +0000 admin 141148 at /dobson /dobson/channels/news/inflationary-effects-possible-us-tariffs-are-unknown-could-already-be-affecting-consumer-behaviour-363036 <p>With the spectre of tariffs looming over the Canadian economy, should you hurry to buy an appliance before the added costs get built into their prices? There is no clear answer, and it is not yet known how much tariffs could affect prices, but according to Professor <a href="/desautels/saibal-ray"><strong>Saibal Ray</strong></a>, the way people think about tariffs could be as important as the tariffs themselves. “Rather than buying a microwave today, they push out the purchase or bring it forward,” he tells Global News.</p> Fri, 31 Jan 2025 18:51:05 +0000 admin 141147 at /dobson /dobson/channels/news/international-students-advance-preparation-can-smooth-move-new-country-363037 <p>Canada has some of the world’s leading business schools and attracts MBA students from around the world. However, moving to a new country is a major change, and<strong> Nitin Bishnoi </strong>(MBA’25) recommends taking care of as much as you can before you make the move. “There are certain things which students are generally stressed about when they arrive in a new country,” said Bishnoi in an interview with the Association for the Advancement of Collegiate Business Schools. “These small things, if we take care of them before arriving, they take a lot of stress away.”</p> Fri, 31 Jan 2025 19:01:02 +0000 admin 141146 at /dobson /dobson/channels/event/finance-area-seminar-valentina-rutigliano-363034 <h2>Valentina Rutigliano</h2> <h3><b>University of British Columbia </b></h3> <p><em><big>Minding Your Business or Your Child?<br /> Motherhood and the Entrepreneurship Gap</big></em></p> Fri, 31 Jan 2025 18:13:14 +0000 admin 141144 at /dobson /dobson/channels/event/finance-area-seminar-noemie-bucourt-363035 <h2>Noémie Bucourt</h2> <h3><b>University of Toronto</b></h3> <p><em><big>Real Effects of Personal Liability:<br /> Evidence from Industrial Pollution</big></em></p> Fri, 31 Jan 2025 18:15:06 +0000 admin 141145 at /dobson /dobson/channels/event/online-info-session-international-masters-health-leadership-imhl-363022 <p>Join IMHL Program Director <a href="/desautels/leslie-breitner">Leslie Breitner</a> for an online information session outlining the International Masters for Health Leadership at 9I���������'s Desautels Faculty of Manage</p> Thu, 30 Jan 2025 19:17:54 +0000 admin 141143 at /dobson /dobson/channels/event/online-info-session-international-masters-health-leadership-imhl-363021 <p>Join IMHL Program Director <a href="/desautels/leslie-breitner">Leslie Breitner</a> for an online information session outlining the International Masters for Health Leadership at 9I���������'s Desautels Faculty of Manage</p> Thu, 30 Jan 2025 19:16:46 +0000 admin 141142 at /dobson /dobson/channels/event/busa-410-summer-internships-management-info-session-363000 <p>Are you planning to do an internship this summer?
