Koch DEDICATION I want to dedicate this work to my family. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I want to thank my wife, Anne Koch. She single-handedly ran our household of five children while allowing me to dream big and achieve my high school goal of becoming a professor. I also want to thank my five children individually: Carolyn Koch, Lily Koch, Molly Koch, Colin Koch and Christian Jr. (Chip) Koch; thank you for being patient and understanding. The Koch household in Atlanta, GA, was a unique environment to have grown up in. Furthermore, I want to thank my parents, Don and Christina Koch, from St. Louis MO, for their guidance and support. Finally, I want to thank Dr. Grandon Gill for establishing the right vision of Engaged Scholarship. Currently, many DBA programs (unlike the University of South Florida program) fail to achieve greatness for professional doctorates because of their poor structures and philosophical underpinnings. However, Dr. Gill has “the right stuff” and truly understands the DBA field.
