The technology has recently been divided into two main camps: Permissioned (private) blockchains, which primarily focus on bringing blockchain-based solutions to enterprises, and permissionless (public) blockchains, most notably Bitcoin, which aim to bring a fully decentralized cryptocurrency and distributed applications to the masses. Both camps have been hailed as world-altering breakthroughs, and accused of being worthless fads.

Yet typical buyers don’t consume ethically. So if we care about other people and the environment, why don’t we shop like we do?

People Analytics: HR’s New Tool to Compete and Win</strong></a></h4> <p><strong>Sekou Bermiss, Associate Professor, Management, McCombs School of Business; and Ethan Burris, Associate Professor, Management, McCombs School of Business</strong></p> <p>People Analytics is different from the “human resources” practices prevalent twenty years ago. Today it incorporates a data-driven, evidence-based approach to managing people at work. Those working in People Analytics strive to bring data and sophisticated analysis to bear on people-related issues, such as recruiting, performance evaluation, leadership, hiring and promotion, managing teams, and compensation. In this workhop, participants will engage with evidence suggesting that doing so sustains competitive advantage and improves firm performance (revenue, stock price, customer satisfaction, retention, and safety).</p> <h4><a href="https://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/89480" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to vote</a></h4> <hr /> <h3><strong>HEALTH & MED TECH</strong></h3> <h4><a href="https://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/86927" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>8.

Getting Smarter about Smartphones</strong></a></h4> <p><strong>Adrian Ward, Assistant Professor, Marketing, McCombs School of Business</strong>; and Kaiwei Tang, CEO of Light</p> <p>In the last 10 years, smartphones have rapidly — and radically — transformed the way we connect with information, entertainment, and each other. At the same time, these devices have come to dominate our attention. They put the world at our fingertips, and rarely leave our sides. But at what cost? In this session, learn about the science of smartphones and cognition from a psychologist and marketing professor who has spent the last decade investigating how smartphones affect attention, memory, and happiness. Then, hear about how tech companies are exploring new approaches to mobile technology, including The Light Phone — a device that is “designed to be used as little as possible.”</p> <h4><a href="https://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/90077" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to vote</a></h4> <h4><a href="https://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/90516" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>11. Big Ideas in AI: Solving Problems… Since 1696</strong></a></h4> <p><strong>James Scott, Associate Professor, Information, Risk, and Operations Mgmt., McCombs School of Business</strong></p> <p>Artificial intelligence seems new on the scene. But most of the big ideas in AI are decades or even centuries old. Do you have an Amazon Echo? If so, you can thank Grace Hopper: the first person ever to talk to a computer in English (1955). Excited about AI in health care? You can learn a lot from Florence Nightingale, who started the first data-science revolution in medicine (1854). Keen on AI for Smart Cities? Look no further than Isaac Newton’s second career, as Master of the Royal Mint (1696). No matter where you look in AI, you’ll find an idea that people have been kicking around for a long time. In this talk by a data scientist and co-author of <em>AIQ: How People and Machines are Smarter Together</em>, we’ll explore the deep history behind the key AI technologies of the future.</p> <h4><a href="https://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/90516" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to vote</a></h4> <hr /> <h3><strong>SOCIAL IMPACT</strong></h3> <h4><a href="https://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/89165" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>12.

Leaders have special vulnerabilities that they should be aware of in order to guard against them. A filmmaker and a behavioral ethicist will lead attendees through an interactive demonstration of the award-winning Ethics Unwrapped program, housed at UT Austin and used by hundreds of companies and more than 1,000 colleges and universities worldwide, and learn how to tailor these free resources to fit their organization’s needs.</p> <h4><a href="https://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/89165" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to vote</a></h4> <h4><a href="https://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/91294" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>13.

As resources become more scarce and our global population continues to increase, the need for innovative solutions that help our planet is reaching fever pitch. More and more investors are looking to channel their dollars into companies and initiatives that help responsibly grow our planet and meeting the diverse needs of people, communities and business. But is it working? Are these investments paying off, in terms of both performance and doing good? Can impact investing live up to the hype and reshape financial markets?

One of the most popular and successful tools to create engagement and incremental sales in-store is the point of purchase display; however, execution of these displays has been a challenge for retailers and brands. Researchers at Texas McCombs have teamed up with Austin-based Shelfbucks to study a solution to the problem. The team is working on understanding what drives store manager behavior in this context and whether their actions can be predicted, whether and how store managers respond to these alerts, and, most important, measuring the financial impact of improving in-store display execution.</p> <h4><a href="https://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/90561" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to vote</a></h4>
