College of Business, Economics and Computing
By Dirk Baldwin
The Australian Business Deans Council’s (ABDC) journal quality list has become a standard way for business schools to communicate quality of business and economics publications. From 2016-2020, faculty in the College of Business, Economics, and Computing (CBEC) published 13 articles in ABDC’s highest categories (A and A+). This, of course, is not the only way to determine the impact of scholarly work. In that same time period, faculty coauthored or supervised academic conference papers and journal publications with over 50 students.
Other work by faculty are directed toward professional practitioners. This work is key for achieving the mission of the college and university. The following is sample of recent work:
-
Dr. Sahar Bahmani, Professor of Finance, is coediting the book, Asian Countries: Economic, Political and Social Issues, Nova Publishing Company, New York, 2021. She was also the featured expert in "WalletHub's Best 0% APR Credit Cards" January 2021 and in February 2021, "Helping victims of predatory payday loan debt" by Credit Summit.
-
Dr. Roby Rajan, Professor of Operations, has a forthcoming publication on disaster management in International Journal of Interdisciplinary Global Studies.
-
Dr. Robert Fok, Associate Professor of Finance published “Do cross-border mergers and acquisitions affect acquirers’ trade credit? Evidence from an emerging market,” in International Review of Economics and Finance.
-
Dr. Suresh Chalasani, Professor of MIS and Associate Dean, has a forthcoming article “The University of Wisconsin Flexible Option is an Effective Model to Prepare Students for a Recovering Economy” in The Journal of Competency Based Education. On March 9, Dirk Baldwin and Suresh Chalasani will be presenting “Competency-Based Business Programs: Key Design Features and Considerations for AACSB Accreditation” at the AACSB Innovative Curriculum Conference. On March 25, Suresh Chalasani will be presenting “Technology Strategies to Improve Student Learning of Healthcare Reimbursement” at the MBAA Conference.
In addition to publications, faculty continue to find innovative ways to engage students during the pandemic...Read More
