On Friday, May 13, members of the Desautels Faculty of Management gathered to celebrate the innovative and impactful research conducted by its scholars.
Fifteen professors were on hand to deliver two-minute presentations of their most interesting and research.
Before jumping into the presentations, Dean Yolande Chan took the time to highlight this year's Desautels Faculty Scholar awardees. Congratulations to this year's awardees!

Abstract:
A new study by Warut Khern-am-nuai, an assistant professor of information systems at McGill University, proposes a new approach to optimizing the way algorithms process data, without modifying the outcome. To eliminate discrimination in AI, algorithms should see race and gender, according to the study.

Abstract:
In honour of his exceptional commitment to academic excellence, France’s Aix-Marseille University recently conferred the title of Doctor Honoris Causa upon Professor Alain Pinsonneault.
In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the McGill-HEC Montreal EMBA program has introduced a bimodal learning style that allows students to choose between online courses and in-person instruction.
As co-director of the EMBA program, Professor Alain Pinsonneault recognizes that knowledge sharing is a less fluid process online. On the other hand, he points out the value of technological tools in teamwork situations for increasing collaboration and facilitating seamless virtual conferences.
When employees are motivated to master computer technologies like business analytics programs, point-of-sale systems, and knowledge management systems, creativity ensues.
A new study co-authored by Professor Alain Pinsonneault establishes that with the right employees, even standard IT can become a tool for generating new ideas. The key to innovation is not necessarily specialized technology, the study finds. Instead, it all comes back to the employee’s ability to leverage what already exists.
