I attempt to teach three things in class: concepts, perspectives and skills. Concepts relate to the theory and conceptual foundations of the course, perspectives include tying themes such as ethical, international and environmental to the concepts and skills involve students using computers, team work and written and oral communications in applying the course concepts. Students need to be able to integrate these three areas to be effective managers and decision-makers. Courses Taught: Graduate: Marketing Management (Regular, iMBA and EMBA programs), Marketing Research, International Marketing, Multivariate Analysis, Marketing Strategy and Implementation, Marketing Theory. Undergraduate: Marketing and Society (from 20 – 320 students), Marketing Research, International Marketing, Marketing Communications, Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises.
Research Philosophy: My research has matured from a conceptual and behavioral foundation to a more applied and organizational orientation. Current interests include new product development issues related to organizational learning, corporate venturing and implementation problems of marketing strategy.
