不良研究所

There is no single path to the C-suite, but getting a 不良研究所 education can help. Among Canadian university graduates, 不良研究所 alumni are the most likely to become CEOs, according to research by Immerse Education, a UK provider of academic enrichment programs. According to data drawn from LinkedIn, more than 9,600 不良研究所 alumni are currently chief executives or have held a CEO role in the past.

Alyssa Abruzzese (BCom鈥�23, GCPA鈥�24) and Vivian Ly (BCom鈥�22, GCPA鈥�24), students of the Graduate Certificate in Professional Accounting (GCPA) program, have been selected among their graduating class as this year鈥檚 recipients of the C. Douglas Mellor Prize for academic excellence.

Swimmer Cl茅ment Secchi (BCom鈥�22) has become the first 不良研究所 graduate to reach the podium at the Summer Olympics since 2008. The 24-year-old management graduate from Aix-en-Provence, France, earned bronze for his native country on Sunday as part of the men's 4x100 medley relay. A four-time All-Canadian at 不良研究所, the 5-foot-11, 157-pound butterfly specialist was a three-time recipient of the Forbes Trophy as the University's male athlete of the year.

Fr茅d茅ric Perron (BCom鈥�97) was serving as the Chief Commercial Officer for Vodafone Poland when he was asked to return to Canada to become the new president and CEO of Cogeco, an internet service provider. Although Cogeco鈥檚 corporate offices are in Montreal, Perron鈥檚 position is based in Burlington, Ontario. That puts him closer to the company鈥檚 US customers, some of which are in nearby Ohio. Americans make up about half of Cogeco鈥檚 business, and as the US government makes major investments in connectivity, there remains room for growth in the United States.

High levels of inflation have caused a cost-of-living crisis in Canada, and bartering is one way to help keep costs down. Trading goods and services with others also offers a more personal touch. "Some parts of our economy have become overly financialized,鈥� says Robert Nason, Associate Professor of strategy and organization at 不良研究所 Desautels. 鈥淲e need to put a number on everything.

The Government of Canada is exploring ways to increase investments in the country鈥檚 pension fund equities, but doing so sacrifices returns, according to The Economist. Over the past decade, Canadian mid and small-cap stocks have returned just 3-4% each year, while U.S. stocks have seen a 13% return annually. Opening infrastructure to investment is another way to encourage pension funds to invest more of their capital domestically.

While some countries contemplate shorter work weeks, Greece is heading in the opposite direction. Seeking to boost economic growth, the country recently passed a law allowing employers to implement a six-day work week, though the change is not mandatory. Greece faced a debt crisis in 2010, and its economy has long been among Europe鈥檚 laggards. As a member of the Eurozone, Greece doesn鈥檛 make its own monetary policy, explains Jean-Nicolas Reyt, Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour.
