RESEARCH INTERESTS

 

In general, my research looks into why business efforts fail to work as intended.  The lessons learned from such failures suggest ways in which future efforts can increase a company’s chances for survival.  All my research is approached with the same questions in mind:  What can go wrong with the way a process is managed?  What can we learn from an organization’s mistakes?  Specifically, my research falls into the categories listed below:

 

 

¨

Empirical research strategies to promote long-term corp. survival & avoid organizational failure.

¨

Investigation into business ethics, moral failure and personal moral development.

DISSERTATION

 

1989

The Strategy of Corporate Survival:  A Resource Dependence Approach.

 

Winner of the Academy of Management and Strategic Management Society Best Dissertation Award, 1990.

 

The research developed an integrated, theoretical model to rationally explain and predict organizational survival and failure. Pfeffer & Salancik’s Resource Dependency approach provided the theoretical structure for identifying those factors which may lead a firm to fail and then builds on the theory to develop a logically complete model.

TEACHING INTERESTS

 

I tell my students that there are two things one can get from university: education and schooling. Education is the theoretical background instructors typically test. Schooling is the practical tools one can employ in their jobs and lives. I try to focus on the schooling. This does not mean my students do not get exposed to theory, but I try to get them to apply the theory. With casework, I try to get them to arrive at logical ways to address underlying management problems a company faces, rather than surface symptoms. I also, of course, look at finding alternative problem solutions. In general my teaching interests fall into the following categories: 

Business Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility

Business, Government and Society.

Quantitative: Accounting and Statistics.

Research Methods.

Business Policy, Strategic Management.
