Let’s explore some of the most interesting stories that have emerged from New York business schools this week.
Award-Winning Paper Explores How Designers Innovate in 3D Printing Communities – Stevens Institute of Technology SOB News
In a new paper from Gaurav Sabnis, Stevens Institute of Technology School of Business Assistant Professor of Marketing, Associate Dean of Research Dr. Jeffrey Nickerson, and the University of Navarra’s Dr. Harris Kyriakou “examines knowledge reuse in 3D printing communities [where] makers often iterate on designs created by other users to create refined products.”
According to the Stevens Institute of Technology SOB News article, “the professors looked at frequently reused designs and found a few clear signals in what helps designs get shared—from a designer’s level of experience, to the amount of information she included about her designs.”
The trio’s research is among the first to properly survey 3D printing communities and it could have only happened in the interdisciplinary incubator that is Stevens. Dr. Sabnis writes, “Stevens has a great culture that leads to more interdisciplinary research. I’m excited to do the kinds of research that creates real-world solutions for businesses in the digital age.”

Reviving Grit: Columbia Business School Study Finds That In Pursuit of Success, Dedication Falls Short Without Passion – Columbia Business School News
In a new PNAS study, Columbia Business School and Frankfurt School of Finance & Management researchers found that grit “without the clear sense of direction that passion provides does not propel people forward.”
Columbia Professor and co-author Adam Galinsky writes, “We were not surprised to find that dogged dedication to an objective – without a true passion for the goal – is mere drudgery.”
“But until now, research on grit failed to factor in the propulsive force that animated grit’s perseverance. By properly incorporating passion into the grit equation, we now have evidence that people who are passionate for their goal and persevere towards it will reach higher heights.”
