    From Coast Guard Captain to Leadership Professor, with guest Amy Florentino T’10

    As a sector commander in the Coast Guard, Amy Florentino T’10 directed strategy and operations for all Coast Guard missions across Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and northeastern New York. In that role, she developed a command philosophy that people should feel motivated, nurtured, and valued. Florentino draws on that philosophy as a clinical professor of business administration at Tuck. “A lot of it is about this idea of creating an environment where people can be successful,” she said. “Tuck students are quite capable of doing amazing things, so it’s my job to create an environment where they can excel.” In this episode of the Knowledge in Practice Podcast, Florentino talks about her career in the Coast Guard, and her time at Tuck as both a student and a professor.  Courses and Programs discussed: Management Communications, Advanced Management Communications, Client Project Management, Crisis Management, Tuck Bridge, Next Step, and Impact Academy.

    A Business with Humanity at its Very Core, with guest Kirsten Detrick T’92

    Kirsten Detrick T’92 spent more than 30 years as an executive in the biopharma industry, working for firms such as Takeda, Amgen, and Bristol Myers Squibb. Detrick recently returned to Tuck to teach the mini course “Contemporary Issues in Biotechnology,” which is offered every year in the spring. Detrick discusses her career, her course, and some of the most pressing challenges faced today in the biopharma space. Detrick uses her position as an adjunct professor to teach, coach, motivate, and inspire. As she explains in the conversation, biopharma is a business, “but unlike other businesses, it has humanity at the very core of what it’s about. The people who succeed, thrive and find themselves attracted to this industry are those who hear a higher calling and want to use business to address that higher calling.”

    Turning Back the Clock on Delay-and-Deny Practices, with guest Raghav Singal

    In a new paper, Raghav Singal creates a model that answers an important counterfactual question for people harmed by delay-and-deny: what if the procedure was approved in a timely fashion? Using specific healthcare data, Raghav’s model can answer that question with striking accuracy, showing the probability that a timely screening or procedure could have had a positive impact on a patient’s health.

    Decision Biases Under Risk and Uncertainty in the NBA, with guest Daniel Feiler

    In 2024, Tuck professor Daniel Feiler had a series of confidential conversations with executives of numerous NBA teams. As an expert in the psychology of judgment and decision making, Feiler was curious how these executives were using the proliferation of in-game data to make decisions about which players to trade, recruit, and draft. He found that, like managers in any organizational environment, NBA executives were prone to making biased decisions without even realizing it. They evaluated players using differing standards, or they didn’t fully account for the context of players’ performance, or they over-weighted how certain players performed against them. In this podcast, Feiler discusses how he worked with NBA teams, and what he learned about decision biases that can apply to other corporate settings.

    A Playbook for Platforms in Crisis, with guest Prasad Vana

    All businesses must endure a crisis every now and then. But not all businesses are digital platforms, such as Facebook, Uber, and eBay. What sets these businesses apart is their role as an intermediary between sellers and buyers, two stakeholders who are crucial to the business model but who can react to a crisis in very different ways, and with different consequences. In this episode, Tuck marketing professor Prasad Vana talks about a new paper that takes an in-depth look at platforms in crisis. The paper is titled “When Crisis Hits the Platform Economy: The Effects on Supply, Demand, and Spillovers.” In it, Vana studies two crises that the platform Kickstarter went through, and the impact those crises had on people looking to fund projects and the backers of those projects. He finds that the crises had bigger effects on the supply side stakeholders than on the backers, and that projects that relied on a fan base—such as art and culture-related efforts—were especially likely to respond negatively to crises.
