Yet, even as these tools conducted increasingly complex tasks, the firm’s workforce didn’t suffer. However, this shift to AI taking on some tasks previously performed by humans forced the firm to reconfigure its organizational structure.</p> Fri, 27 Oct 2023 18:10:34 +0000 arsh.prakash@mcgill.ca 481659 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/glossy-work-permeates-cultural-industries-exists-other-sectors-too-348276 <p>When <a href="/desautels/lisa-cohen">Lisa Cohen</a> moved to New York City in 1984 to work for Vanity Fair magazine, it seemed like a dream job. But the reality didn’t stack up to her expectations. Though the work was sometimes interesting, Cohen found the detailed fact-checks that she was assigned tedious. Still, she stayed in the magazine industry for five years before pursuing a business degree. That’s Cohen’s personal experience with ‘glossy work’.</p> Wed, 10 May 2023 21:27:52 +0000 angela.l.williams@mcgill.ca 88480 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/employees-duties-may-differ-those-job-postings-344095 <p>The job that you think you are applying for can be pretty different from the work that you actually do. It’s crucial to know why this happens, says Associate Professor <a href="/desautels/lisa-cohen"><strong>Lisa Cohen</strong></a>.  Sometimes hiring managers do not know precisely what their organization will need in the months and years to come. In other cases, the organization’s needs are evolving, and it needs to adapt to changing circumstances. This can be frustrating for employees, and can even lead to conflict in the workplace.</p> Tue, 06 Dec 2022 18:39:35 +0000 angela.l.williams@mcgill.ca 87970 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/delve-why-job-you-apply-may-not-be-job-you-get-344001 <p>When most people apply for jobs, they expect the job description to match the job that will be filled. But between the interview and the actual hiring, job duties sometimes evolve. At a time when many people are making career changes and employers are facing uncertainties and struggling to find employees, understanding why jobs change is crucial.</p> Thu, 01 Dec 2022 21:40:08 +0000 angela.l.williams@mcgill.ca 87957 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/inaccurate-job-descriptions-can-have-unanticipated-effects-343358 <p><span>A job description can be pretty different from the job itself. Sometimes this can be because the hiring organization’s needs are evolving, and they are responding to these changes, write Professor <a href="/desautels/lisa-cohen">Lisa Cohen</a> and </span>PhD candidate Sara Mahabadi<span> in The Conversation. If an organization becomes aware of their evolving needs during the hiring process, it can help to repost the job ad, so they find the candidates that are best aligned with their actual needs.</span></p> Tue, 08 Nov 2022 14:08:07 +0000 angela.l.williams@mcgill.ca 87853 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/2020-sshrc-insight-grants-awarded-329114 <h4>Congratulations to the Desautels professors who received 2020 SSHRC Insight Grants and Insight Development Grants.</h4> <hr /> <h5>SSHRC Insight Grants</h5> <ul> <li>Professor <a href="/desautels/laurent-barras">Laurent Barras</a> (with Professor <a href="/desautels/david-schumacher">David Schumacher</a>)</li> <li>Professor <a href="/desautels/sebastien-betermier">Sebastien Betermier</a></li> <li>Professor <a href="/desautels/lisa-cohen">Lisa Cohen</a></li></ul> Tue, 23 Feb 2021 23:02:04 +0000 angela.l.williams@mcgill.ca 79909 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/mcgill-team-wins-honourable-mention-edi-case-writing-competition-340614 <p>Congratulations to 2023<strong> <a href="/desautels/programs/bcom">BCom </a>Jaslie Denault</strong> and<a href="/desautels/programs/mba-programs/mba"> <strong>MBA</strong></a>s<strong> Alfonso Rodriguez Gomez</strong>, <strong>David Iacono</strong> and <strong>Kriti Pradhan</strong>, in collaboration with Faculty Lecturer <a href="/desautels/category/tags/tatiana-gauvin"><strong>Tatiana Gauvin</strong></a>, for their honourable mention at the annual DEI Global Case Writing Competition for their submission <i>Diversity, Equity an</i></p> Wed, 03 Aug 2022 14:40:30 +0000 sabatino.dellicompagni@mcgill.ca 87485 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/conversation-lisa-cohen-director-edi-337224 <p>The Faculty's first ever Director of EDI, <strong><a href="/desautels/lisa-cohen">Lisa Cohen</a></strong>, joined the <em>Æ»¹ûÒùԺ Reporter </em>to reflect on the past year and a half of her mandate.
