Teaching

40 Different Courses Taught

I have yet to meet another professor who has had more course preparations that I have had to create The groupings given below are undergraduate, graduate and certification courses. Undergraduate and graduate course had contact hours and syllabi to meet AACSB Accreditation.

So why list certification courses? To qualify to be listed here, the certification course had to span over one month or more and have a syllabus. Some of the certification courses were very good. For example, the last time I taught the certification course World-Class Supplier Management it had nine Boeing PhDs in it!

Courses Kept Evolving

In total there are 23 different AACSB courses I have taught and 39 total courses. Why so many different courses? I decided to start my PhD career in an emerging discipline of Supply Chain Management and it kept evolving as we kept developing programs. There were no other faculty that could teach many of the courses, so the few of us in the area had to take on a wide variety. That hurts you in terms of stabilizing and getting tenure. But it makes you invaluable to the real world because you become an expert in a broad set of disciplines. While narrow focused researchers are rewarded in academia, integrative and broad knowledge leaders .... that can also dive deep in a discipline ..... are rewarded in industry.
