Then, do the same with Lyft, one of Uber’s competitors. Chances are, Lyft is the cheaper of the two ride-hailing services.

Uber has been operating in Montreal for about a decade, but Lyft only started doing business in here in 2025.</p> Tue, 20 Jan 2026 20:26:23 +0000 admin 155970 at /dobson Having gender-neutral restrooms at event venues can improve equity and efficiency /dobson/channels/news/having-gender-neutral-restrooms-event-venues-can-improve-equity-and-efficiency-370467 <p>For transgender people, choosing which restroom to use at a public event can be a fraught decision, but having gender neutral or all-gender restroom options can help.

At stores like the ultra-discount chain Liquidation Marie, prices can be as much as 50% lower than they are at big box supermarkets. The Quebec chain doubled its number of locations last year and is planning for a similar rate of growth in 2026.</p> Tue, 20 Jan 2026 20:03:38 +0000 admin 155968 at /dobson Information Systems Area Seminar: Saggi Nevo /dobson/channels/event/information-systems-area-seminar-saggi-nevo-370380 Saggi Nevo Lally School of Management, York University <p><em>IT Exploration and IT Exploitation Across Contexts: A Meta-Analysis of IT Ambidexterity and Research Agenda</em></p> Fri, 16 Jan 2026 19:54:28 +0000 admin 155965 at /dobson Brazil Study Abroad Program: In-person Info Session /dobson/channels/event/brazil-study-abroad-program-person-info-session-370370 <p>Earn credits from 91ºÚÁÏÍø while experiencing life and learning about business in Latin America.</p> Fri, 16 Jan 2026 13:57:23 +0000 admin 155960 at /dobson Brazil Study Abroad Program: In-person Info Session /dobson/channels/event/brazil-study-abroad-program-person-info-session-370369 <p>Earn credits from 91ºÚÁÏÍø while experiencing life and learning about business in Latin America.</p> Fri, 16 Jan 2026 13:55:54 +0000 admin 155959 at /dobson Employers should consider whether hybrid work will achieve the same aims as a return to the office /dobson/channels/news/employers-should-consider-whether-hybrid-work-will-achieve-same-aims-return-office-370335 <p>For many workers, the return to the office is already in full effect. Employers often explain the shift back to the office as improving collaboration, strengthening organizational culture and providing better development opportunities for new employees. These arguments can be valid, according to <a href="/desautels/jean-nicolas-reyt"><strong>Jean-Nicolas Reyt</strong></a>, Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour, but they often seem abstract to employees, especially those with family responsibilities made much easier by remote work.</p> Wed, 14 Jan 2026 19:47:55 +0000 admin 155958 at /dobson To achieve global reach, companies must grow strategically /dobson/channels/news/achieve-global-reach-companies-must-grow-strategically-370336 <p>Quebec boasts numerous success stories among its small and medium-sized enterprises, writes <a href="/desautels/programs/master-management-retailing-mmr">Master of Management in Retailing</a> student William Bernasconi for Retail Insider.</p> Wed, 14 Jan 2026 19:50:46 +0000 admin 155957 at /dobson
