UCLA HARRT

Senior Round Table: "Motivation and Unethical Behavior"
2013-09-25 15:30 - 18:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | UCLA, Los Angeles, CA, 90024, United States
Featured Speaker:

Scott Wiltermuth
Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations and Psychology
University of Southern California

Summary:
Scott Wiltermuth, Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations and Psychology at the USC Marshall School of Business, will demonstrates how tactics that are designed to boost motivation and effort in the workplace may also boost the incidence of unethical behavior. In particular, he will show that even relatively subtle tactics that do not involve larger rewards for unethical behavior can increase the risk of unethical behavior. The presentation therefore highlights non-obvious tips for human resources professionals looking to monitor and, ultimately, to curb unethical behavior within their firms.

Senior Round Table: "Big Data: HR Analytics"
2014-03-05 15:30 - 18:30 | UCLA, Los Angeles, CA, 90024, United States
Featured Speakers

Phillip Leslie
Associate Professor
UCLA Anderson School of Management

Ian Larkin
Visiting Professor of Business Administration
Harvard Business School & UCLA Anderson Graduate School of Management

Rob Witoff
Data Scientist
NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory

Summary:
How data analytics is being applied to human resources. We first review the data analytics landscape—what are the different kinds of analytics being utilized, what kinds of expertise is needed, and how are organizations changing to become more data-driven in the decision making process? Then we focus on HR data analytics in particular—the use of data analytics in recruiting, performance evaluation, compensation analysis, and measuring as well enhancing employee engagement (e.g., shared dashboards with all employees). Specific examples of HR data analytics being developed at NASA’s JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) will be presented to highlight the use of structured and novel data sources, data visualization, and to demonstrate the kinds of insights that data analytics can provide for HR leaders. With help from the audience, we will also discuss the organizational challenges to HR data analytics, and perhaps the most difficult challenge of all: how to translate insights to actions in an HR context.
Phillip Leslie, Associate Professor of Strategy at the Anderson School, conducted a session on translating strategy into action to enhance value and organizational performance as well as discuss the implications for capabilities that are needed for managers and leaders to be effective. Among the concepts and capabilities to be discussed are: strategic thinking, strategy translating and sense making, middle managers as empowered visionaries, and transforming organizational capabilities to exploit big data. Our interactive discussions will include a Strategic Leadership exercise and a Data Driven Management Round Table Discussion.
Ian Larkin is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Strategy group at the UCLA Anderson School of Management. He researches the optimal use of formal rewards systems by companies, given the complex and often unanticipated effects these systems have on employee motivation and decision making. His research quantifying the cost incurred by a major enterprise software vendor due to salespeople deliberately gaming their sales commission system, published in The Journal of Labor Economics, is one of the most prominently cited empirical studies of incentive system gaming. It was the basis for a case study widely used in MBA classes on compensation and human resource management.
Rob is the IT Data Scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and his team is enabling NASA to explore data in novel ways. Before JPL, he founded the venture backed startup, Apigy. He has since lead development for interplanetary data visualization software and developed a laser communication system on the International Space Station with the OPALS project. Rob is NASA’s first IT Data Scientist and his data science team incubates solutions to Big Data problems for spacebound explorers, earthborn assets and the people that make them possible.

Senior Round Table: "Acting Decisively" and "The Psychology of Savings"
2014-05-14 13:00 - 17:30 | UCLA, Los Angeles, CA, 90024, United States
Featured Speakers:

Craig Fox
Ho-Su Wu Term Chair in Management
UCLA Anderson School of Management

Shlomo Benartzi
Professor and Co-Chair of the Behavioral Decision Making Group
UCLA Anderson School of Management

Summary:
“Acting Decisively”
Making choices is a core function of leadership. In our first session led by Dr. Craig Fox, we’ll take a critical look at how we tend to evaluate decisions. In addition we’ll examine factors that can make decision making difficult or make people want to postpone decisions. Next, we will review distinct varieties of indecisiveness and the behaviors that we observe in order to determine whether or not a colleague or leader is decisive. Finally, we’ll discuss some strategies that you can use for making faster decisions.
“The Psychology of Savings”
Our second session features Dr. Benartzi, one of the world’s top experts in behavioral finance. He will discuss how half of the American workforce lacks access to a retirement savings plan. Approximately one-third of those who do have access fail to join. Those who do join tend to save too little and often make unwise investment decisions. In short, the defined contribution world is in crisis and employees need help.
We’ll analyze the behavioral challenges that led to this crisis, including inertia, loss aversion, and myopia, and recommend science-based behavioral best practices to overcome these obstacles. Based on the book “Save More Tomorrow: Practical Behavioral Finance Solutions to Improve 401(k) Plans”, this session will provide you with ideas and insights to get more employees to join their workplace retirement plan, and help them save more and save smarter.

With the expectation that thousands of military personnel will leave the service and settle in Los Angeles in the next five years, several programs have been initiated to assist with their transition to civilian jobs. The unemployment rate for post – 9/11 young veterans is 2.6 times the U. S. Unemployment rate of 5%. Part of the challenge is to get employers to understand the skills that veterans bring from their military experience and to get veterans to better explain and translate their experiences to future employers in order to secure viable positions that offer stability and growth.
A project led by Mayor Eric Garcetti, the 10,000 Strong Initiative is a coalition of companies and community organizations who are united around a common goal of hiring 10,000 local veterans by 2017. Our speakers will present various approaches to support this goal including skill gap training, assessment tools and company programs to help employers hire and retain veterans.

DECEMBER 2017 ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

The equity bull market on Wall Street continues to roll along. Will stocks continue to rise in 2018, or is a major correction looming? Bond yields have been trading at historically low levels for nearly a decade. Will the era of low bond yields continue, or will interest rates normalize, sending 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yields to well above 3%? With wholesale changes in the Federal Reserve Board coming in 2018, will the Fed continue on its moderate pace toward interest rate normalization or will the markets be surprised?
