Google Changes Sexual Misconduct Policies After Employee Walkout
Google is changing its sexual harassment policies a week after around 20 thousand worldwide employees staged a walkout. The mass protest followed a New York Times story saying former senior executive, Andy Rubin, left the company with a $90 million exit package after harassment claims against him were found to be credible. Among the changes, Google's CEO Sundar Pichai sent a letter out saying that arbitration in these instances would no longer be mandatory as there would be more transparency in how these complaints are handled, and those who report these issues would get more support. But does all this go far enough to address employee concerns?

Why Fake News Campaigns Are So Effective
The term “fake news” has been added to American lexicon courtesy of current President Trump. He has used it to dissuade Americans from believing many of the negative stories about him that have come out since the presidential election of 2016. Disinformation campaigns are nothing new as countries have been running them for decades in wars and battles. But we are now seeing increased targeted campaigns and stories without any factual basis. In this era of big data, these “fake news campaigns” are micro-targeting naïve consumers to gain an advantage. Eric Clemons, Professor of Operations, Information and Decisions at The Wharton School, joins host Dan Loney to discuss his recent opinion piece examining this recent pattern of fake news campaigns on Knowledge@Wharton.

Brexit Negotiations Update
Last week, The European Union and Britain wrapped up a meeting concluding they need more time to develop their “Brexit” strategy, as the latest problem is forming a customs border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. They also discussed the issue of a ‘soft’ Brexit, where there would be a slow transition period perhaps of 21 months, verses a ‘hard’ exit. Prime Minister Teresa May seems to be in favor of the former but is getting pressure from hard-line Brexiteers for the latter. Whatever happens, May has to present the deal to Parliament on January 21, 2019, and the Brexit is set for March 29.
