It’s that time of year again! Welcome to the 2016 edition of the Management and Marketing Department Newsletter. It has been a whole year since the last newsletter, so there are a few things to get caught up on. Here we go!
As Department Chair, some of the most gratifying times happen when I get to see the faculty have successes. In a department that has as many unique disciplines as ours, it’s always exciting to see where the next innovations in management, marketing, production and operations management, or business ethics will come from. This semester, you’ll get to read about one of our up-and-coming superstars in strategic management, Dr. Sungho Kim, and some of the exciting research he is working on.
On the student front, you’ll get to read the story of Dr. Yuping Zeng’s group of students competing in the International Business Case Competition at University of Missouri. This is simply one example of how our students are challenged to excel outside of the classroom. These types of opportunities are extremely valuable to building the students’ confidence and preparing them for the challenging world of business they will soon be facing.
So read on and thank you for staying connected with the Department of Management and Marketing. As always, I invite you to share your own exciting stories (awesome job stories, fun SIUE memories, and so on) at ehershb@siue.edu.
All the Best,
Edmund Hershberger
