AN EARLY START ON GIVING BACK

Ashlee Carlisle believes she was “destined to be a Bearcat.” She received her BBA in marketing and international business in June 2009 and says she wants to be one of the first donors in her class. She’s already made her first contribution: as president of the UC senior class, she led the effort to raise $13,000 for the senior class gift: a plaque—the first in a historical marker program— commemorating Charles McMicken and the first college that started the University of Cincinnati.

In addition to her role in student government, Ashlee was president of ADVANCE, a minority professional development organization founded by African-American students at UC, a Marvin P. Kolodzik Business Scholar, Darwin T. Turner Scholar and recipient of numerous other scholarships. She is currently employed with an exclusive European marketing and consulting company based in London.

FALL 2009 | ORTFOLIOP 15 SHAPING BUSINESS EDUCATION UC Faculty Stay on the Cutting Edge of Business BY GEOFF WISWELL

For UC College of Business faculty, the learning experience extends far beyond the classroom. To stay relevant in a rapidly changing business world, faculty members are consulting with outside firms, taking sabbaticals and holding visiting Steve Slezak’s classroom lectures are enhanced professorships at top-ranked universities. through his research connections with top It’s all part and parcel of putting UC business schools around the country. faculty—and by extension UC students— at the forefront of business.

16 ORTFOLIOP | FALL 2009 Innovative faculty pursue unique experiences that not only provide professional challenges and fulfillment, but also benefit UC students in meaningful ways. That is what places the faculty of the College of Business in a leadership role in academia, in Cincinnati and in the business world. Marianne Lewis, interim associate dean and management professor, is one of several business faculty members who have consulted, taught and/or researched outside of UC. Lewis took a year-long sabbatical to pursue an international opportunity. She partnered with a co-author from London to examine how top product design firms manage ongoing innovation, seeking lessons that could inspire more traditional industries. Their findings, which have been published in three international journals, suggest that leading design firms are adept at working paradoxically—thinking in terms of art and business, leveraging passion and discipline—to benefit their clients and push technology. “I find that kind of opportunity energizing. It gets me excited and fuels my efforts to stay on the cutting edge of business,” says Lewis. “It’s easy to get stagnant without those kinds of experiences.” Similar benefits to students can come from outside consulting work. Assistant Marketing Professor Inigo Arroniz—who has worked with Kraft to develop decision models for selecting the packaging and ingredient suppliers that will best support innovation—says, “I think from a teaching side, consulting is phenomenal; I don’t see a downside. It makes the learning experience much more real for the students.” “The greater the opportunity to work with other people, the greater the chance of obtaining new ideas.” —Steve Slezak

However, students aren’t the only beneficiaries of research and consulting. Arroniz sees a two-way learning relationship between the research and consulting work done by many professors and the business community. “In academia, we are two degrees of separation from the trenches,” he says. “If you talk to people in business, they don’t really know what is going on in academia, while we as researchers sometimes present ideas that won’t work in the business world. Consulting can bridge that gap.” Another positive outcome of the outstanding research and consulting of UC faculty is the cache it brings to the university. One individual helping bring UC to the forefront is James Evans, professor of quantitative analysis and operations management and director of UC’s Center for Performance Excellence. From 1994 to 2007, Evans served as either an examiner or a judge for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, given by the president of the United States to business, education, health care and nonprofit organizations that are judged to be outstanding in seven quality areas, including leadership, customer focus and business results. Because of his expertise with the Baldrige Award, he was invited by the city of Ningbo and Shandong Province in China to lecture and advise for their local quality award programs. “It Marianne Lewis routinely steps out of the classroom certainly brings recognition to UC,” said Evans. “It gets our name out there.” Evans’ experience to further her research and has also had a practical impact on his students. Students of his 2009 MBA class, Managing for connect with faculty at Quality and High Performance, assisted Christ Hospital in beginning the Baldrige process. business schools around the world. To further enhance UC’s academic prestige, some faculty members pursue relationships with other educational institutions. This kind of “cross-pollination” also allows UC faculty—and visiting faculty—to share their experiences and learn something new. For example, Steve Slezak,

FALL 2009 | ORTFOLIOP 17 past head of UC’s finance department, began a term this fall as a visiting professor at the University of Michigan conducting research and teaching both undergraduates and MBAs. An expert in his field, Slezak was excited by the Jim Evans not only brings prestige to UC but opportunity to interact with thought also offers unique learning leaders in his field. “A number of people opportunities to his students. at Michigan are well regarded and state of the art in the areas that I work in,” he says. “To be able to bounce ideas off each other in the halls and at lunch is extremely important to the creative process of research and teaching.” While these relationships are obviously personally rewarding, Slezak also sees the potential for huge benefits for UC. “The greater the opportunity to work with other people, the greater the chance of obtaining new ideas and practical experiences that will allow the College of Business at UC to better serve the specific needs of its constituents.” Some faculty pursue visiting professorships for the same experience. Shaun Bond, associate professor of real estate, recently left Cambridge University to join the UC faculty. In his career, Bond has used visiting professorships to broaden his knowledge and skill set. “I saw an opportunity to develop more of an understanding of the U.S. markets and how they work, and I was able to develop research partnerships in the U.S.,” he says.

Inigo Arroniz finds Bond values these experiences not only for the chance to learn consulting work to be the something new, but also for how they can positively impact his intersection of academics home school. and business, allowing him to keep his students on the “It helps to see the research being done at other cusp of business trends. institutions,” he adds. “By visiting, you see other methods and topics and you can incorporate the best features of what you see into your home institution.” Lewis concurs, adding, “An indirect benefit of working with my co-authors is that I get a Academic experiences at feel for how they do things at their colleges and some of the world’s best universities. We might be working on research, but business schools have allowed Shaun Bond to things come up all the time where we get to share enhance what students are teaching and student service-related activities. It is learning right here at UC. interesting to get different perspectives on everything from how to help your students in the classroom to [how to help] them outside the classroom.” Whether conducting research, consulting with top companies or pursuing visiting professorships, UC faculty members are finding innovative ways to distinguish UC throughout the academic and corporate world. And by bridging the gap between classroom and boardroom, UC faculty are helping shape the next generation of business leaders.

The current program provides fast-track tools tailored to the personal ambitions of our students giving them a business education that is flexible, rigorous and, most importantly, relevant to today’s business challenges. The program allows students to work with top faculty and find internship and field-study opportunities with world-class companies. Additionally, the program allows students to work closely with experienced peers coming from all aspects of the business world. “My favorite part of the MBA program was meeting so many talented students from across the city, in different industries, and various top companies. It opened my eyes to new ways of thinking outside of P&G in order to better my capabilities and enhance my contribution,” says Heather Rogers, MBA ’09. Students highly value their classmates as a networking and learning resource both during the program and after graduation. Although our golden anniversary is past, current UC MBA students know and celebrate that they are earning a special distinction with this degree. Graduate Lucy Voegele, MBA ’09, notes, “The course work and knowledge I gained from the UC MBA program has served as a springboard for promotion within my company, even before graduation.” Lucy joins a long line of successful business professionals prepared to conquer the business world.
