Integrated thought to advance scholarship and enhance leadership

| A Quick Summary
|
Summer Quarterly - 2008
Welcome to our summer issue that is trying to beat the fall colors!!
Before we provide a summary of the summer issue, we are proud to announce three major items of interest:
-
An inspirational global business leader, Mr. Narayana Murthy, who served as Infosys CEO for 21 years
and often described as the Bill Gates of Asia, will receive an honorary doctorate in business administration from Oakland
University in December.
-
SBA will unveil the Center for Integrated Business Research and Education (CIBRE) in the fall 2008 to help
shape its applied research, skill-enriched education, and outreach activities.
-
Lastly, generous support from Craig and Ann Stinson and Hugh and Nancy Elliott will kick-off
our $1M alumni challenge as
we move forward to celebrate 40 years of our success.
We focus this issue on integrating theory and practice, a core part of the SBA mission.
The section on
institutions uniquely shows how we are integrating partners to
support of student learning in a global context, and the
outreach section showcases community participation in expanding our
thought leadership in lean and health care management, and IS leadership. The research section discusses our full-time faculty members’ work in the
study of suppliers and
consumers and the development of models to manage hospital resources, and
while the faculty section highlights
the contributions of our part-time faculty from GM, Chrysler, and technology and consulting firms as they bring
their experiences into the classroom. The curriculum section illustrates innovations in the executive MBA (integrating leadership),
graduate program (integrating entrepreneurship projects) and under-graduate program (integrating experience).
The student section talks about the work our students are doing in social entrepreneurship, organizational
leadership and career and professional development.
Thanks and have a great fall.
