Area of Expertise/Research

  • My career goals include administrative, research, and teaching/service in a business/technical environment.
  • With over 600 peer-reviewed publications and intellectual contributions, a number of academic degrees, and both faculty and administration experiences, as well as industrial experiences, I believe that I would be an asset to any institution.
  • My research efforts may be diverse in nature on the surface, but my primary research efforts in the last few years have been on the technological and strategic issues surrounding the Internet. E-commerce, via strategic marketing, operations management (especially supply chain issues), and management of technology, is especially important theoretical framework in my publication and intellectual efforts. I enjoy the management information systems and engineering disciplines and would welcome the opportunity to apply my knowledge and experience to solving business decision-making problems in an educational setting with increased responsibility and challenge. In particular, I have worked with several institutions on all aspects of AACSB accreditation, from AOLs to student support systems.
