Coles Research Magazine Fourth Issue | 2018

Welcome to the fourth edition of the Coles Research Magazine.

Our research mission in the Michael J. Coles College of Business focuses on excellence in research that impacts both the academic and business communities. Our nationally recognized scholars engage in research that creates new knowledge while simultaneously impacting business practice with relevant insights and innovative models. The latest edition of the Coles Research Magazine showcases this extraordinary work across a range of efforts including: two executive summaries from work conducted in our doctoral program, four Financial Times’ Top 50 journal publications, one outstanding impact journal publication, one business engagement piece, one competitive grant piece, a summer fellowship paper as well as five papers representing the best from our Coles Working Papers series. As in previous editions, we include abstracts of the research as well as important executive takeaways. Our goal is excellence in research that can be immediately accessible to our business partners. In this way, Coles faculty members make a distinctive and lasting impact on their academic communities as well as on the practice of business. The Coles College of Business focuses on top-notch education across all dimensions and our role as a knowledge creator is core to that mission. I am proud of the fact that academic and business leaders look to our faculty for the latest research and analysis. I am so pleased that we can highlight that work in the current edition of the Coles Research Magazine.
