049: Giri Kanagaretnam
Beliefs about climate change vary, and one big difference of opinion is whether we should try to do anything about it. One way of getting people to do something about climate change is through tax incentives. But what makes one company take advantage of tax breaks for green technology, while another company does nothing? Do the company’s beliefs about climate change matter? And how would you know what a company believes, anyway? These are the kinds of questions Giri Kanagaretnam can answer. Giri is a Professor of Accounting at the Schulich School of Business, where he holds the Ron Binns Chair in Financial Reporting, Banking and Governance.

046: Winny Shen
Dr. Winny Shen studies bad bosses. You know the kind. A boss who constantly undermines you or plays favorites. A boss who takes credit for your work when things go well and blames you when things go badly.

Not many people actually set out to become a bad boss. So how does someone end up this way? What goes wrong? These are questions Winny Shen knows how to answer.
