New U.S.-Japan Trade Deal Benefits Some Farmers and E-Commerce

APM's Marketplace

2019-10-08

American beef and pork farmers will be some of the big winners. So will companies that sell digital software, content and data... But one sticking point isn't covered by the new agreement, says Jonathan Doh, a professor at Villanova University. "It doesn't address the largest share of U.S.-Japan trade, which is in the auto sector."

Bummed by Starbucks' Price Hike? Here's How Much It Costs to Make Your Coffee

NBC News Digital

2018-06-11

The timing of Starbucks' price increase had me skeptically raising a brow. On May 29, Starbucks closed 8,000 locations for anti-bias training, an initiative that followed the wrongful arrest of two Black men in a Philadelphia Starbucks last April... "I highly doubt the price increase is directly related to the diversity initiatives," says Villanova University's Jonathan Doh. "I think these things are on two different tracks. My strong suspicion is these price increases are designed to recoup expenditures on employee benefits."

Why Are We Afraid of Cuba?

Huffington Post

2017-02-22

"Cuba is at a crossroads. Yet it seems some in the United States are hesitant to take the next step, fearful of what could happen if we actively engage and participate in what will undoubtedly be a profound transition. Some of this hesitation appears to emanate from fear. In my view, this fear is wholly unfounded. On the contrary, Cuba poses no threat to the United States, but may provide opportunity, with great potential for commercial interactions, educational exchange and broader social integration between our two countries."

Don't Scapegoat Trade

Huffington Post

2016-09-08

"This presidential election cycle has emerged as one of the most unusual in recent years, and not only for the obvious reasons. For the first time since before World War II, both candidates are seriously questioning the benefits of freer trade."

The World Is Their Workplace

The New York Times

2013-01-30

International work-study is most common in business schools. Jonathan Doh, an associate professor of business at Villanova and director of the Center for Global Leadership, tells students to start early and intern often—at home or abroad. Promising freshmen are invited to take part in the Global Citizens Program, which includes a yearlong course geared toward understanding business practices in either London or Singapore, where they spend 10 weeks in classes (15 credits) and 6 weeks at a full-time internship (3 credits) during their second semester.
