Abstract:

Two of Canada’s most storied universities have joined forces to apply cutting-edge technology to the legal profession.
The Queen’s University Faculty of Law and the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University have partnered to advance the work of the Conflict Analytics Lab, a research lab that will widen access to justice using technology.

Holding someone accountable is no simple undertaking. Oversight is a necessary part of doing business but it’s cumbersome, requires resources, and is riddled with paperwork.
While there may not be a single, all-encompassing technique to make scrutiny less cumbersome, McGill University’s Juan Serpa and co-authors find that companies and government agencies can make simple adjustments to improve the efficiency of their checks and balances. The key is to be flexible and open to innovation.

In his new book Channel Strategies and Marketing Mix in a Connected World, Professor Saibal Ray puts the spotlight on how the digitalization of the retail channel affects consumers, products, and sustainability.
