FACULTY PROFILE
"I am Chair of the Division of Management, Marketing and Entrepreneurship (MME) and Professor of Management in the College of Business. I received my Ph.D. in Labor and Human Resources with concentrations in Industrial Relations, Labor Economics and Human Resource Planning from Ohio State University 1989. I joined Governors State University in 2010.
My research interests have evolved over time, influenced by my corporate experience and over the last 7 years has been focused on global value chains, knowledge transfer and economic growth. My research has been published in journals such as Competitiveness Review, Academy of Business Research Journal of Scholastic Inquiry: Business and Journal of Developing Areas.
Greatly shaped by a need to transfer my corporate experience in companies such as Accenture and Shell to the classroom, I currently teach strategic management and international business. I am a member of the Academy of International Business, Industry Studies Association and Africa Research Group at Nottingham University, UK and have served as a reviewer for several journals and conferences in my field.
