Terry College of Business Research Digest 2023

Staff Appreciation Event
 

Hi Everyone,


As we wrap up another successful semester, I wanted to say thank you for all your hard work. Our faculty remain highly productive, and I appreciate all you do for Terry.  

A few weeks ago, I sent out a short survey to gauge the impact of our research. Thanks to the many faculty members who participated. 

Once again, the breadth and impact of our research are impressive. Among the 62 faculty who participated in the survey, they reported 103 papers in top journals, 23 of which were with current or former Terry doctoral students. Your research continues to build the reputation of the College and University of Georgia as leaders in high-quality, impactful research.

The survey also revealed that 13 Terry faculty currently serve as editors or associate editors at top journals (with many having served past terms), and that our faculty received multiple research awards in the past year.

Below are links to several articles provided by faculty. Have a look at your leisure.

 

In closing, I’d like to say thank you again and tell you all how much I appreciate all you do for the Terry College. Have a great summer.
