IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

  • Four sponsors have dropped swimmer Ryan Lochte since he lied about being robbed at gunpoint during the Olympics in Rio. But Lochte could still stage an image comeback, according to Wharton research on “moral decoupling,” which allows consumers to “tip their hat” at someone’s accomplishments while “wagging a finger” at their moral transgressions.
  • If traditional retailers are to survive against digital disruptors, they need to change their mental and business models. In the latest of a series of articles, Wharton’s Jerry Wind and Barry Libert and Megan Beck of consulting firm OpenMatters offer strategies for how firms can proceed.
  • Some of your favorite foods — sushi, extra virgin olive oil, Kobe beef, Parmesan cheese — may not be what you think they are. Larry Olmsted, author of the book Real Food/Fake Food: Why You Don’t Know What You’re Eating and What You Can Do About It recently talked to the K@W SiriusXM show about how you can get a handle on what you eat and where it came from.
