2 HORIZONS Spring 2016

These past several monthshave been filled with lots ofinteresting topics for peopleto talk about — from our on-and-off winter temperatures,to the provincial election andnew federal leadership. Hereat the Hill and LeveneSchools we’ve also been busygenerating lots to talk about,and we are very proud to offersome of the highlights here inthe Spring 2016 issue ofHorizons.

This past winter wecelebrated the achievementsof our Hill students in theMontreal Stock ExchangeTrading Simulation, JDCWest, and ICBC. Our Hillstudents continue to take aleadership role in communityservice in volunteer hours andraising funds, such as for 5 Days for the Homeless, allpresented in this issue ofHorizons.

I’m particularly proud of theresources we have been ableto assemble for researchscholar appointments viafinancial support from ourlocal business community.Through investment byorganizations like RBC andCPA in the early fall, and thenlater with our own LeadersCouncil and most recentlyKPMG, we have been able toidentify areas of researchwhere we offer additionalresources to individual facultymembers. We introduce ournew research scholars in thispublication and I wish themgreat success in theirindividual research programs.

We are also able to introducetwo new major scholarshipsfor our undergraduate andgraduate students through thesupporting funds of LeadersCouncil members. Theseawards are presented at the

Hill Dinner in the fall andLevene Dinner in the spring,in honour of the featuredspeaker for the evening.

It’s also a pleasure tointroduce to you in this issuetwo members of our alumni,Dr. Nicholas Carleton(BAdmin ’01) and AnnetteRevet (MBA ‘96). Both arerecognized as leaders in theirareas of expertise and havemade a significant impact toour university by way of theirinvolvement over the years.

A recent great achievement,that is not reported in thisissue, that I am pleased toshare here, is the signing of anagreement with the graduatebusiness school IPADE inMexico City. IPADE is aglobally ranked businessschool offering an excellentgraduate program in business,in state-of-the-art facilities

within an historic hacienda.An agreement with IPADEopens up great opportunityfor our Levene GSB studentsand faculty for collaborationin the years to come.

I hope this spring offering ofHorizons leads you to discovermore about what youruniversity offers in businesseducation and research. Wehope we are able to expandyour horizons with our activityand welcome your comments.

For a second year BreanneDmytriw chaired 5 Days andher co-chair this year wasRachel Langen.

Rachel: I didn’t know howrewarding it would be andwhat an issue homelessness isin Regina, but doing all thisorganizing has been amazingand eye opening.

Breanne: This is the seventhyear the Hill School hasorganized the event. We havefive U of R students thatessentially live homeless oncampus for five days andnights, so they’re stripped oftheir basic necessities –grooming, food, shelter. Theparticipants and ourcommittee raise awarenessabout homelessness andmonetary donations forCarmichael Outreach.

We spoke to two of theoutdoor participants – Hillstudents Riley Moncrief andKashtin Schumacher-Fisher.This is Kashtin’s third yearvolunteering, but his first as a‘sleeper’.

Kashtin: Hearing the successstories of people who haveused Carmichael’s services inthe past, but are now in ahome and have a job, is

rewarding. One differencefrom previous years as avolunteer to now is thepersonal contact with people.

Riley: Sleeping on cardboardhas been quite the experience.It’s definitely a great way toget out of your comfort zone.It forces you to think outsideof what is going on in your lifeand the very immediateenvironment around you.

The committee hosted anumber of fundraisers overthe course of the week.

Riley: We’re students, and wedon’t have a lot ofdiscretionary income, but it’sbeen awesome to see howsmall change from manypeople can result in a bigchange for a lot of otherpeople in the city that are lessfortunate than us.

Rachel: We did a tour atCarmichael before thecampaign started… and alady came up to us and gaveus tips on what to do when wewere outside. She said she wasgoing to help us get our PhD –what she called the‘panhandling degree’. It wasreally nice to see someone whouses the services support whatwe’re doing.

Breanne: We chose to call thiscampaign ‘Choose Hope’ –that there really is hope to endhomelessness in ourcommunity.

Riley: Homelessness is usuallynot a matter of choice, butsimply of circumstances…that’s something that has stuckout to me.

These Hill students treasuretheir experience with 5 Daysfor the Homeless.

Kashtin: You’re going to learna great deal about yourselfand after this, come out adifferent person and look atthe world a little differently. Iknow I’ll continue to volunteerfor Carmichael.

Breanne: We had so manypeople that passed by andwant to get involved nextyear…We’ve seen how muchof an impact our students canmake; that we can becommunity leaders.

Riley: It has been a greatexperience… to see all themoney that we’ve raised. Weknow how much added benefitCarmichael will give to peopledealing with homelessness.

The $100,000 in cash that fourHill students had to work withmay have been virtual, but theexperience they gained, andthe results, were absolutelyreal. The students – DraytonLeflar, April Pyne, BrockForbes and Drew Broadfoot –competed against more than1900 teams from 37universities across Canada inthe Montreal ExchangeOptions Trading Simulation,which requires teams to buildtheir options portfolios byexecuting five separatestrategies over an eight-weekperiod. They were able toachieve a 116% return leavinga portfolio of $216,350 at theend of the simulation.

All four students weremembers of Dr. Saqib Khan’sDerivatives and RiskManagement course, which

required participation in thesimulation. Leflar, Pyne andForbes drew on theirexperiences with the URInvesting group to help guidethem during the simulation.

“Professionalism is a centraltheme of our meetings,”Leflar observes. “You mustlearn to speak confidently, andhow to communicate yourthoughts to others effectively.We all push each other tocontinue learning and

adapting to a dynamic market,which presents newinformation every day.”Pyne, who began with URInvesting as a researchassociate and is now a Co-Chief Investment Officer,adds that the team benefitedfrom knowing the marketsinside and out, and fromhaving worked on othersimulations before enteringthe national simulationcompetition. Thoseexperiences gave the team asignificant advantage, she says. “Results from simulations likethis are a way of measuringthe hard work that we do,”Pyne notes. “I also think theseresults will attract morestudents to join the URInvesting team.”

Students who apply to join URInvesting go through aninterview process. Members ofthe group study stock marketactivities, analyze individualcompanies, and inconsultation with facultyadvisors and an investmentcommittee, make buy/selldecisions with $1.4 million inreal money. UR Investingenables group members tobuild on their classroomlearning by following themarkets closely.

Olasunbo (Sunbo) Toby-Ladehas been working as a co-opstudent at the Centre forManagement Development(CMD) within the Faculty ofBusiness Administration sinceSeptember 2015.

“The CMD does two basicthings. The first is to providework experience for studentswithin the Hill and LeveneSchools of Business. The CMDprovides opportunities forstudents to link theirclassroom experience to reallife business experiencethrough their involvement invarious consulting projects.The second is to provideBusiness Advisory Servicesand Leadership DevelopmentPrograms for the businesscommunity. We do thisthrough consultingengagements in areas such asentrepreneurship, humanresources, marketing, strategyand innovation. We also oftenarrange customized training

programs to meet individualbusiness needs.”

Toby-Lade highlyrecommends students workon consulting projects withthe CMD because of thehands on experience they willgain.

Toby-Lade is taking theMaster of Human ResourceManagement (MHRM)program, which is designedfor people who already haveworked in the field as Toby-Lade did in her nativeNigeria. She says sheappreciates the opportunity tofamiliarize herself withCanadian culture and hopesto work in Canada uponcompletion of her Masters.

“My overall career plan is tobe an HR professional,especially in the areas ofrecruitment and selection, andlearning and development. Ilike helping organizations get

the right people for theirbusiness, and this has been thetrend in my career. Back inNigeria, I was managing aportfolio of over 3500outsourced employees, so Iwas recruiting all the time.”

The CMD has been a good fitfor Toby-Lade.

“As a student consultantmanager for the CMD, Ihandle the day to dayoperations of the CMD withthe supervision of my boss,Larry Hiles. For a typicalCMD consulting project I

start by putting together theproposal for the project. Afterthat, I oversee the studentrecruitment and hiringprocess. Once the project hasbegun, I am responsible formanaging the project until itscompletion. Outside of theconsulting projects, I am alsoresponsible for the dailyadministration of the CMD,which includes everythingthat has to do with officemanagement. This has helpedme to become moreindependent as I get to createmy own ‘to do’ lists andproblem solve any issues thatarise.”

Toby-Lade is very clear whenasked if her CMD work ishelping her with her careergoals.

“A very big emphatic YES…For me it’s been reallyfulfilling work.”

WORKING AT THE CMD:


Carleton has an unusualbackground for a psychologist,as most don’t begin asentrepreneurs. After finishinghis Bachelor of Administrationin 2001, Carleton returned tothe U of R and completed aBachelor of Arts Honours,Master of Arts inExperimental Psychology anda Doctorate in ClinicalPsychology.

“I really enjoyed my timetaking the admin degree, andin fact, the psych degreewasn’t something that Iintended to do - I wanted to bean entrepreneur or work ingovernment.”

Carleton took more and morepsychology classes because itseemed to make sense to studyhuman behaviour if he wasgoing to work in marketing.

“I was finishing the admindegree, when Dr. DonaldSharpe talked me intofinishing an honours degree inpsychology. It was socialpsychology at its best: ‘Just acouple extra classes and youcould have a second major ...just five or six more classes,and a paper, and it could be anhonours degree,’ which is ofcourse an understatement - it’sa significant undertaking to doan honours degree inpsychology, but it worked outvery well.”

After graduating from the U ofR, Carleton’s businesseducation helped him managea small IT company and earn ajob working for the city.

“I have nothing but respect forentrepreneurs, but it wasstressful and there’s lots of riskthere. I wasn’t excited by thework that I was doing at thecity - it wasn’t for me.”

“I have a long history withfriends and family memberswho are paramedics, policeofficers or nurses, so it madesense to me to go back touniversity to find a way tohelp.”

Carleton is currentlycollaborating with aninternational team ofresearchers to develop the largest and longest Canadianstudy into post-traumaticstress disorder (PTSD) withpolice that has ever beenconducted.

“Depot is the only place in thecountry that we train RCMPofficers … as the cadets comein to Depot, we can getbaseline measures and followthem throughout their career.”

“We can identify whatvariables are associated withhigher risk, or higherresiliency, so that we can thenfigure out who’s at higher riskand who’s not. The results willallow us to create training toboost resiliency, and reducevulnerability and risk overtime.”

“These projects draw ondiverse skill sets and arebenefitted by the capacity toengage in projectmanagement, buildefficiencies, see large scale

problems and innovatecollective resolutions - allthings that I learned from myadmin degree.”

Carleton is also spearheadinga large team developing a newCanadian institute dedicatedto research and treatment ofpublic safety personnel andtheir families.

“The Hill admin degree madeabsolutely sure we were allgood at presenting before weleft. On January 29th, we didroundtable presentations herein Regina on PTSD,showcasing how acollaborative project involvingthe country’s leaders can helpsolve a national problem. Thatkind of presentation is a skillset that I garnered almostexclusively from my businessdegree.”

Carleton has receivednumerous prestigious awardsthroughout his career, yet onehe is most proud of is hisOutstanding Young Alumnusaward from the U of RAlumni Association.

“It’s being recognized by yourcolleagues, and that’s nicebecause that’s more like familyrecognition. I’m very proud ofour university. We havepeople that are literallychanging the world.”

There were some twists andturns along the way. Afterreceiving her Bachelor ofScience (Honours) degree inchemistry from the U of R,Revet worked at what was then the Kalium potash mineat Belle Plaine, intending toreturn to school for a Masterof Science degree.

“I found that I enjoyed thebusiness world – more than Iexpected – and so when Icouldn’t fit in the scienceprogram, I started takingcourses toward a certificate inadministration,” she says.With her certificate in hand,her timing was right to enterthe MBA program offered bythe newly establishedKenneth Levene GraduateSchool of Business, emergingas one of its first graduates in1996.

“The MBA opened up myworld,” Revet states. “It gaveme exposure to more than oneindustry and showed me newways of learning and thinkingthrough issues. I learned newapproaches to research andhow to look for and findconnections between things

that I might have missedbefore. At their core,” sheadds, “chemists seek tounderstand structures andprocesses. My MBA built onthat, while introducing me tonew networks in a much widerbusiness world.”

As Executive Vice-Presidentof Governance and Strategywith Conexus, Revet leads ateam that works with internaland external stakeholders tofacilitate the development anddelivery of the Credit Union’schosen strategy in an ever-changing environmentmarked by disruptive newtechnologies, low interestrates, changing membershipdemographics and continualregulatory changes.

“We are seeking to align ourstrategy to turn thosechallenges into opportunities,”she adds. “This is where theMBA has helped me a lot; notaccepting the status quo andbeing open to new ideas –even from other industries –to come up with businesssolutions that benefit theorganization.”

Revet regards her volunteeractivities as anotherprofessional learningopportunity. Volunteering insettings outside theworkplace, she learns fromother’s experiences while alsobeing given an opportunity toexplore and test skills that canbe applied in work situations,similar to taking the MBAclassroom experience and

applying lessons learned backin the workplace. She hasserved on several boards, andis currently on the board ofAthol Murray College ofNotre Dame at Wilcox andRanch Ehrlo Society.

“Education is obviouslyimportant to me,” she states.“Both organizations align withmy values in that they supportcommunities througheducation, and work to ensurethat our youth are supportedand guided into becomingadults who may also give backand support theircommunities in the future.”

I FOUND THAT I ENJOYEDTHE BUSINESS WORLD –MORE THAN I EXPECTED…“ ”


Dr. George Peng joined theUniversity of Regina in 2009after completing his Ph.D. inInternational Business andStrategy at the Ivey BusinessSchool at the University ofWestern Ontario. Since then,he has been teaching businessethics and international trademanagement courses at theundergraduate level, andinternational business coursesat both undergraduate andgraduate levels. He brings tothe classroom extensiveknowledge of case teachingthat he gained at Ivey.

“I fell in love with the casemethod when I was workingas a teaching assistant toseveral professors whilestudying at Ivey. It’s reallearning; it’s active learning;and the learning acquiredfrom the case method is longlasting. For example, Ianalyzed cases when I was anMBA student. Now, nearly 15years later, I still rememberthose cases vividly as opposedto what I learned fromtextbooks.”

In consideration of the natureof students at the Hill and

Levene Schools, Peng usescases in the format of a groupcase analysis project, whichmakes up 30% of each of hiscourses. Early in eachsemester, Peng assigns casesto student groups andconducts a case analysisworkshop to prepare thestudents for the project. Asthe semester progresses,students apply the theoriesand concepts they learnedfrom the textbook andlectures to the case project. Atthe end of the semester,students present their cases,and after the presentation, thewhole class discusses it.

Peng thinks that the casemethod has many benefits,but most important is thatcases force students to takeownership of the decisionsthey make.

“Cases allow you to stepfiguratively into the positionof a particular decision maker.There is a role andresponsibility transfer. You arenow the decision maker, andyou cannot hide anymore.This role transfer hassignificant implications to

learning, so the earlier theacceptance of the ownershipof a decision the better.”

“The reluctance to accept therole transfer constitutes a bighurdle to learning. Oncestudents overcome this hurdle,they become active learners. Inoticed that in the middle ofhot discussions, even thoseinternational students who arenot quite proficient in Englishcannot keep silent any more.In case discussions... you willalways reach that ‘ahamoment’. It’s a eurekamoment... Cases are basicallylearning by experience.”

In addition to teaching withcases, Peng loves writingcases. He has publishedseveral popular cases with hisIvey co-author, Dr. PaulBeamish. Two of their caseswere reprinted in multipletextbooks and are utilizedaround the world. Their mostrecent case, titled “Yancoal:The Saskatchewan PotashQuestion,” was selected as thewinner of the “EmergingChinese Global Competitors”category in the prestigiousEuropean Foundation for

Management Development(EFMD) Case WritingCompetition in 2015.

Peng says that writing casesand teaching with cases aremutually reinforcing. Casesare written based on acarefully thought-out processwith teaching in mind.Conversely, the insightsgained from teaching can helpprofessors to improve theircase writing. Companiesinvolved can also benefit fromthe case writing process byinteracting with aknowledgeable professor whogets a sense of how thecompany is doing. Peng findscase writing rewarding.

CASE


Dean Andrew Gaudes, spearheaded the drive toincrease Research Scholar appointments in 2015

with the intent to create new research fundingopportunities for faculty members. In most cases,Gaudes says, the funding support extends beyond

a year, which gives faculty members time toexplore their research topics in greater

depth, and raises their profile as a research scholar.

The Fall 2015 issue of Horizons (p.21) profiled Dr. Gina Grandy, who received the RBC Women inLeadership Scholar award to advance her diverse

research interests. Grandy says the scholar awards“… provide another avenue supporting ongoing ornew research projects, which enhances the profile

of certain research, and acknowledges theimportance of research in particular areas, such as

women in leadership. I’m delighted to berecognized as the RBC Women in Leadership

Scholar, and to know that donors and the Faculty are prioritizing

advancements in this area.”

Dean Gaudes adds that besides demonstrating howbusiness is supporting research activity within the

Faculty, the awards also signal the manyconnections between the Faculty and the business

community. “My target is to have 15 researchscholars within the Faculty in the next five years,”

he says. The following three profiles representanother step toward that goal.

Transparency andTimeliness of CorporateFinancial Disclosure

When publicly tradedcompanies restate theirprevious financial statementsbecause of material errorsand/or fraud, the news canhave significant effects ontheir future prospects. Withthe support of a researchscholar appointment, thanksto funding from the CharteredProfessional Accountants(CPA) of Saskatchewan, Dr.Nourhene BenYoussef plansto dig deeper into whethercorporate governancecharacteristics affect thetiming, the content of theinformation provided, and theformat in which it ispresented. BenYoussef alsoplans to analyze the responseof stakeholders to suchrestatement disclosures.

In the first phase of herresearch, BenYoussef willexamine whether thecomposition of boards ofdirectors – and specifically ofaudit committees – influencesthe timeliness of financialreporting.

“The audit committee is a keyelement in producingcorporate disclosures,” sheexplains. “I will investigatewhether demographic

characteristics such as gender,age and ethnicity areassociated with the timelinessof restatement disclosures.While there is growingrecognition of the importanceof board diversity –particularly representation bywomen – the questionremains whether diversity iseffective in overseeing therestatement process.”

In the second part of herstudy, BenYoussef plans tolook at the response ofstakeholders to untimelyrestatement announcementsby analyzing the magnitude ofthe market’s response overshort and long time periods.Existing research using U.S.data shows that the averagetime to prepare and announcea restatement – coveringeverything from materialerrors to fraud – is aboutthree months, but it can takemore than a year, she notes.“How might that affectinvestor confidence and acompany’s reputation?”

Most of the data on boardcomposition and timeliness ofdisclosure comes from U.S.sources, but BenYoussef plansto augment this with casestudies of Canadiancompanies. Her project willcomplement and extend hercurrent research and previousinvestigations into thetimeliness of restatementdisclosure, and the results, sheadds, should be of interest topolicymakers, boards ofdirectors, auditors andinvestors.

RESEARCH

MY TARGET IS TO HAVE 15RESEARCH SCHOLARSWITHIN THE FACULTY INTHE NEXT FIVE YEARS.“ ”

Investigating Uncertaintyand Ambiguity in StockMarkets

Even casual stock market-watchers wonder whyinvestors often behaveirrationally, selling theirholdings at a low point, andbuying near market highs, forexample. But what aboutinvestors with deep pocketswho choose not to participatein stock markets at all? That’sone of the questions Dr.Helen Huang plans to tacklewith the support of a KPMGResearch Scholarappointment.

“Harvard economist JohnCampbell found that in theU.S., among people who wereat the 80th percentile ofwealth, almost 20 per cent didnot participate in equitymarkets, even for theirretirement savings,” Huangobserves. “My study willexamine how sophisticatedinvestors and naïve investorschoose to participate or not,based on the concepts of‘measureable uncertainty’(where there is some level ofprobability), and‘immeasurable uncertainty’, or‘ambiguity’ (where you can’tcalculate probability).”

In the first phase of herresearch Huang will develop atheoretical model to examinehow naïve and sophisticatedinvestors choose whether toparticipate, based on theirknowledge of the levels ofambiguity attached to stocksthey could buy, and the extentof their aversion to ambiguity.She expects her researchmodel will explain why naïveinvestors – even those whocould afford to hire

knowledgeable advisors –limit their participation in themarket, while sophisticatedinvestors do participate.

In the second phase, Huangplans to examine the otherside of the coin, investigatinghow limited investorparticipation affects stockissuers.

“Different stock markets havedifferent listing, trading anddisclosure requirements thataffect ambiguity,” she says.“For example, U.S. stockexchanges have much stricterrequirements than Chineseexchanges, so I will considerhow the degree of ambiguity,type of investor, listingrequirements, firm size andother factors affect where afirm chooses to list. Theresults could providesuggestions for investors onwhere to invest, for firmslooking to raise capital onwhere to list, and forregulators to reduceambiguity in the exchangesthey supervise.”

Examining FinancialFlexibility, Quality InternalControl, Doing Good andAvoiding Bad

During the coming year,supported by a LeadersCouncil Research Scholarappointment, Dr. Zhou Zhangplans to extend his researchinterests in three broad areas,collaborating with fellowscholars in Canada and aroundthe globe.

“The conventional forms ofresearch,” Zhang explains,“look at the cost of capital andfinancial valuations for

companies, and translate thoseinto risk assessments. I foundthere were more factorsimpacting those assessmentsthat I wanted to explore. TheLeaders Council support willhelp deliver my researchfindings to a wider audience.”

The first research program willdetermine to what extent thefinancial crisis of 2008-2009,and the tighter regulation thatfollowed, affected firms’financial flexibility, theirfinancing and investmentdecisions, and perhaps theirability to compete with otherfirms.

The second program will focuson the quality of internalcontrol over financial reportingin an era of ever-increasingregulatory requirements.Zhang notes that firms withinternal control weaknessestend to be riskier, and allowmanagers – intentionally or not– to manipulate theinformation available toinvestors. “It will be interestingto explore the factors that leadto internal control weaknessesand their economicconsequences,” he says.The third program willexplore a new area: theconcept of Corporate SocialIrresponsibility. While thefour main criteria definingCorporate SocialResponsibility (CSR) arewidely regarded as thehallmarks of good corporatecitizenship, Zhang suggests“avoiding bad,” such as notmaking unwise mistakes,could be seen as a good thing.Further, he argues, somefirms may not have theoperational capacity to satisfyfully the criteria of CSR, sincesmaller and fast-growing

companies might choose toinvest their money and effortinto research and innovation.

“Rather than focus solely onthe usual four areas of CSR,”Zhang says, “firms that avoidmistakes and concentrate ontheir growth may be judged asdoing pretty well, and shouldbe compensated in themarketplace.”
