Top #MBA Tweets Spotlight: #StanfordGSB

As seen on LiveWire over the past few years, Stanford GSB has rolled out interview invites around this time and this season is no exception.  While lucky, invited candidates polish their interview skills and applicants eagerly await news, we wanted to see what’s happening with Stanford GSB in this edition of Top #MBA Tweets Spotlight.

And what mission-driven work can look like:

"Most of these kids live in inner-city neighborhoods and some have never even been to the ocean, let alone visited true wilderness. We’re teaching them that life can be different from what they’ve had." https://t.co/NvgwZWgnXM

Given the anniversary of the financial crisis, the school had some reflections to share:

Ten years since the world’s economy went into a free fall, it’s all too easy to forget what led us there in the first place. https://t.co/GZHy0c0kl2 pic.twitter.com/89e6cU3I40

The three biggest private funds — BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street — collectively own more than any other single shareholder in 40% of U.S. public companies. Here’s why economist Fiona Scott Morton finds that unsettling: https://t.co/SUUrpmZYjB

And some (perhaps coincidental) research on leadership:

They also had some interesting insights on big data and how strength in numbers can backfire:

Lecturers and students also had some scenes to share:
