When teaching the undergraduate core class (OMS 311/TO 313), he got a teaching evaluation of 4.5/5.0. This is quite remarkable, as Professor Leider had never taken an Operations Management class before coming to Ross. He quickly transitioned to the role of course lead, where he mentored doctoral students and other faculty teaching the course. Taking advantage of his research background, Professor Leider improved the course materials by introducing behavioral operations into the class and further built on action‐based demonstrations.

    DATA: Data was pulled from UT Dallas for including journals: Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Organization Science, Strategic Management, Administrative Science Quarterly Journal from 2015-2018 for the North American rankings in September 27th, 2019. The UTD "Score" in column E comes from the UTD Website. UTD counts number of papers those in top journals. For each paper UTD divides up credit among the authors. So if a paper has two authors, each school the author list as their affiliation will get .5 added to their UTD Score. In column H, Score / Number of faculty simply divides the UTD Score in column E by the number of faculty in column G. Please see the tab "Faculty Count" for the counts of faculty for each school. Faculty counts are from schools' websites and were pulled in Spring of 2018. If a school has fewer faculty now than reference period, it "helps" the school's per capita ranking because faculty who left contribute papers for numerator UTD Score but not denominator. If a school has more faculty now than reference period, it "hurts" the school's per capita ranking because new faculty's papers are not in the school's UTD score but are in the denominator.
