Turning Points

Our impending move to Tampa represents a milestone for AACSB International – one of many in our illustrious history. It is not only a time of excitement and anticipation, but also a turning point and a time for reflection. Since 1916, our members – starting with our founding schools – have united around a sense of common purpose. Step-by-step, their vision and commitment have fueled our growth and enabled the advancement of management education around the globe. Over the decades, their wisdom and leadership have enabled us to achieve the continuous improvement that we urge upon our schools, along with significant breakthroughs along the way.

These successes for AACSB have also been the result of quality staff members. One of the reasons that we are now poised to move AACSB to the next level of achievement has been the exceptional work of individuals across the organization. Without their individual and collective efforts, we would not be in a position to take on these next giant steps in our growth and development.

When the board of directors voted to move our headquarters to Tampa, we had to make tough decisions that impacted our existing St. Louis-based staff. Although we are pleased that one-third of the staff has agreed to move with us, we will miss the two-thirds who have chosen to remain in St. Louis. They have given their best, and I thank them on behalf of all of management education.

Our current staff has contributed to significant growth over the past few years. We now have 971 members in 70 countries. Our schools represent many different missions, and we are growing by leaps and bounds throughout the world. The number of accredited schools outside the United States has grown fivefold in the last five years. We have greatly expanded services to members around the world, and now AACSB is becoming the guiding influence in managing the industry’s risks through its thought leadership initiatives. Our recent activities have included the visionary work of several task forces that have focused on learning outcomes assessment, ethics, B-school rankings, and the value proposition of business schools, along with the sobering proclamations of the Doctoral Faculty Commission.

We believe that one of the key dimensions of this next era in the history of AACSB will be the realization of our thought leadership mission. We must now increase our capacity to deal proactively with the challenges to management education for the benefit of all our members. Our staff must continue to strengthen its knowledge base in all aspects of management education, and we must create a more streamlined, learning organization. We’re adding an educational center to our new world headquarters, which we believe will attract management education leaders to Tampa for their development needs and provide an opportunity for all staff to learn more about the industry.

We are energized by our new mission and end statements. Our board, staff, committees, peer review teams, and task forces are committed to making Tampa the worldwide center for management education. We solicit the involvement of all our members in firmly establishing and maintaining this leadership position.

Penn State’s Smeal Business College Alters Name

To better reflect the mission of business education at Penn State’s University Park campus, the university's board of trustees has approved a name change for the Smeal College of Business Administration. The new name will be the Smeal College of Business.

“We’ve recommended that the word ‘administration’ be dropped from our name because it no longer reflects the essence of business education and leadership," said Judy Olian, dean of the college. “Business education is about pro-active leadership and in-depth analytical skills in the various business disciplines. The term 'administration' is less apt today given the complexity of business practices and the competitiveness of business markets."

The College of Business Administration at Penn State was founded in 1953, emerging out of the department of commerce and finance in the College of the Liberal Arts. In 1990, the college was renamed for the late Mary Jean and Frank P. Smeal, who made numerous contributions to Penn State in support of education and research in areas such as business, the liberal arts, and science.

Next summer, the Smeal College will move into a new, 210,000 square-foot building. The board officially approved the $68 million project in March 2003, committing $39 million through the university’s capital improvement funds. The drive to raise funds from outside sources currently stands at $22 million against the $29 million private fund-raising goal.

Faculty and students are required to interact with the community by performing practical projects that augment university and community goals. The following projects and partnerships represent examples where faculty, community, and students have successfully interfaced to accomplish objectives:

• City of Montgomery Housing Down Payment Assistance Program • Summer Youth Entrepreneurial Program • Say “Yes” to Family Math • Montgomery Public Schools — 21st Century Program • Minority Enterprise Development Week — Montgomery Chamber of Commerce • Focus Study — Alabama Minority Business Directory, Statewide Lending Practices-Banking

Community • W.F. Dodge — Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Supportive Service — Department of

Transportation • Nx Level — Entrepreneurial Training Program — Small Business Development Center (SBDC)

Three projects were related to the development of entrepreneurs in the community. Our partners in these ventures were the SBDC and its Nx Level Entrepreneurial program at South Trust Bank in Wetumpka, Ala.; Mt Moriah Baptist Church in Mosses (Lowden County, Ala.); and the Defense Economic Transition Assistance (DETA) program conducted in conjunction with Maxwell Air Force Base. These programs are funded through grants and individual payments for material costs.

For the past six years, more than 250 persons have participated in and graduated from the Nx Level Entrepreneurial Program. Courses are taught in a classroom setting by certified instructors with guest speakers from the local business community and are designed to produce a business plan, test the feasibility of a business concept, and assess the next level of growth. The 12-week, 36-hour course describes the legal forms of business. Two weeks are spent on marketing research/strategies and five weeks on budgets and financial statements. An additional week is spent on negotiations and growing the business.

The Wetumpka Area Chamber of Commerce along with South Trust Bank partnered with the College of Business Administration and SBDC, graduating 50 persons from three classes. Former students often say they frequently use the text and workbook from the course as a reference at their jobs.

Mt Moriah Baptist Church offers the Nx Level program through their Arc of Love Ministries to more than 20 participants. The program, which started in September 2003, is being offered again this fall.

The Maxwell AFB Transition Assistance was offered through a DETA program on base prior to Sept. 11, 2001. Since then, we have continued to offer the program to veterans, would-be contractors, base employees, or their spouses on the ASU campus.

In each of these projects, students performed marketing research for clients. Their research centered on competitors and market share in the various trade areas.

By participating in these courses, ASU students gained applicable uses for the curriculum and their talents and skills. Additionally, they networked with people who are taking the risk of competing in the free enterprise system, and they opened the door to potential employment opportunities.

The value proposition of the b-school was brought home to the businesses as well.

• Banking sponsors of the classes benefited by providing much needed educational support to potential clients.

• The Wetumpka Area Chamber of Commerce gained by providing business support to chamber

members and got a chance to recruit additional members. • Mt Moriah Baptist Church benefited by providing leadership in community economic

development.

• As military personnel transitions from service, their concerns are principally “what am I going to do next?” The transitional assistance program educates them to possible alternatives. Several class attendees have started successful small businesses.

Percy Vaughan is dean of the Alabama State University College of Business Administration.

CONFERENCE ALERT Collins to Offer Insights into Going from Good to Great

"Good is the enemy of great."

That’s the slogan the National Hockey League champion Tampa Bay Lightning adhered to during their quest for the Stanley Cup. It’s also the opening to Jim Collins’ book Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap…and Others Don’t.

As a headline presenter at AACSB’s Learning from the Leaders Conference Sept. 26-28 in Denver, Colorado, Collins will expound upon the timeless principles that distinguish great organizations from good ones and the leadership characteristics that correlate with them. Building greatness is not an innate trait, according to Collins. The principles can be learned and applied by any leader who possesses the requisite level of discipline.

Drawing upon his 15 years of research that led to Good to Great and Built to Last, Collins will relate stories and examples at the conference that illustrate the books’ principle ideas and will challenge attendees to consider how they apply in the social sector, including higher education.

In addition to his devotion to writing, Collins is an avid rock climber and has made unaided climbs of the west face of El Capitan and the east face of Washington Column in Yosemite Valley. But mostly, Collins is a student and teacher of enduring great companies — how they grow, how they attain superior performance, and how good companies can become great companies.

His No. 1 pick as the best CEO in U.S. corporate history is Charles Coffin, the first president of General Electric.

“Most people have never heard of Charles Coffin — and that’s the ultimate testimony to his greatness,” Collins writes on his Web site JimCollins.com. “No CEO finds it easy to take over from a founding entrepreneur; now imagine that founder holds the patents on the electric light, the phonograph, the motion picture, the alkaline battery, and the dissemination of electricity.

“But Coffin knew his job was not to be the next Thomas Edison,” Coffin writes. “His invention was the General Electric Co.”

In addition to four books, Collins’ work has been featured in Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, Harvard Business Review, and Fast Company. Collins’ three-year-old book, Good to Great, ranked second on the Wall Street Journal’s best-selling business books list for the week ended July 30. David Bach’s Automatic Millionaire was No. 1. In the overall nonfiction category, Good to Great was No. 10.

Tel: 314-872-8481 Fax: 314-872-8495

Collins also has served as a teacher to senior executives and CEOs at more than 100 corporations. He has also worked with social sector organizations, such as the Leadership Network of Churches, Johns Hopkins Medical School, the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and The Peter F. Drucker Foundation for Non-Profit Management. Collins invests a significant portion of his energy in large-scale research projects — often five or more years in duration — to develop fundamental insights and then translate those findings into books, articles, and lectures. He uses his management laboratory to work directly with executives and to develop practical tools for applying the concepts that flow from his research.

“Good to Great required five years of effort with 21 research associates at my management laboratory in Boulder, Colorado,” Collins said.

Collins will address conference attendees Monday, Sept. 27at 8:30 a.m. For further information and to register for the Learning from the Leaders Conference, please visit www.aascb.edu/conferences.

The department of management at Worcester Polytechnic Institute is introducing two new graduate degree programs in fall 2004: a master of science in information technology and a master of science in operations design and leadership. Both will be taught at WPI’s Worcester campus and online via the university’s Advanced Distance Learning Network.

The two new degree programs were created in response to the needs and demands of industry for professionals with solid foundations in IT and operations management. They evolved from the university’s former MS degree program in operations and information technology.

The information technology degree is a 35-credit program designed for current and aspiring IT professionals. Students will take a required core of both management and IT courses, and then select one of six IT specialty areas: project management, entrepreneurship, applications development, information security management, marketing applications, and manufacturing and service applications.

The operations design degree also is a 35-credit program that provides a balance between service and production management. Students will take a required core of both operations design and leadership courses, and then select seven electives from a defined set of operations design and leadership courses, or choose a concentration track in either supply chain management or process design.
