There Has to Be a Better Way?: An Outsider with an Inside View: Researcher Daniel Beunza “Taking the Floor” on Wall Street

Business professor Daniel Beunza spent years as an observer on the trading floors of Wall Street, and documents his journey in his award-winning book Taking the Floor: Models, Morals, and Management in a Wall Street Trading Room. On this episode of There Has to Be a Better Way?, Dr. Beunza shares his surprising findings about ethics, morality, and leadership in these highly intense and competitive settings, and how his ethnographic method of “living with the natives” and “going with surprises” can inform how we understand organizations and behaviors.
