- Dr. Michael James Barber Read: "Dr. Read conducted a comparison of athletic and organizational coaching which indicated that critical practices from athletic coaching were not fully utilized in organizations. The coaching approach and High-Performance Coaching Practices measure outlined in his research provide a framework to help employees Go for Gold in organizational contexts." (November 2011)
- Dr. Feng Zhang: "Dr. Zhang studied the interactions between the rights of shareholders and managerial incentives in publicly-traded corporations. He showed that managerial ownership fails to motivate managers to work for shareholder interests when the rights of those shareholders are weak. These findings will contribute to the organizational development literature." (November 2011)
- Dr. Ruodan Shao: "Dr. Shao explored whether Canadian and Chinese customer service employees react differently to unfair treatment from customers. Survey data from hotel employees in the two countries revealed Canadian employees react more strongly to unfairness than Chinese employees in terms of customer-directed sabotage. The research suggests that cultural values mediated this difference." (November 2011)
- Dr. Jingjun XU: "Dr. Xu's research led to recommendations for the design of a web interface for shopping online, so that consumers can purchase items with greater accuracy and less effort. His novel research demonstrates the impact of user interface design on the online shopping experience of consumers, and points to design implications for website designers." (November 2011)
- Dr. Wei Zhang: "Dr. Zhang showed that higher levels of spending on research and development are associated with higher bankruptcy rates. She developed a comprehensive economic framework in which this relationship can be understood. Her analysis helps to shed light on why higher R&D is associated with more bankruptcies."
