About Us

Our Mission

To educate our students to become successful managers and leaders in a dynamic business world.

To accomplish this mission, we balance effective teaching with scholarly activities and our professional service contributions.

Our Values

Ethics

We are committed to maintaining and promoting the highest standards of ethical behavior in all our interactions with all our constituencies.   We believe that an emphasis on integrity, ethical behavior, and corporate responsibility will help to ensure that our students will learn to be effective, ethical managers and leaders.

Equity

We aspire to the highest standards of equity in all of our processes, procedures, and interactions.  Our adherence to the principles of justice, fairness, and impartiality is critical to our ability to cultivate trust and to facilitate open communication. By encouraging excellence, ethics, engagement, and equity in all activities, we are working to create a culture characterized by authenticity, openness, and collaboration that is inclusive and respectful of all.

Excellence

We strive for excellence in all areas as we help to prepare our students for leadership roles in private and public organizations and as we contribute to the ongoing development, promotion, and application of management scholarship.

Engagement

As a faculty, we are engaged with a wide range of constituencies including our students, our department, college, and university, our professions,  as well as local and global communities.  We seek to model these behaviors for our students and to thereby encourage their active engagement as life-long learners, organizational team members, community leaders, and global citizens.
