The College of Business is renowned not only for the quality of its research, but perhaps as importantly for its breadth and eclectic nature. Also, because so many of the faculty have first-hand business experience, something many of the most prestigious universities in the world cannot match, its is often more grounded in the practical concerns of managers, not to mention more richly informed from the mangers' perspective, than scholarly work produced by the research universities. The college has recently decided to make this work more easily available to anyone who is interested, academic or practicing manager, though the Internet. We have begun to publish our research in the form or working papers; many of these will likely appear in a wide array of academic or practitioner journals, but here you can find them all in one place.
