| | Creating a Faculty's "Academic Genealogy":
A Case Study of Method, Outcome, and Benefits
In this paper, we describe our efforts to build an academic genealogy by tracing the major professor lineage of a group of focal
faculty of a graduate degree offering program. Because our efforts generated such interest and enthusiasm among faculty and
graduate students alike and seemed to have benefits with regard to enhanced pride, identity, interconnectedness, and
cohesiveness, we felt others might benefit from our experiences and the lessons we learned. Therefore we describe the process
we used to build our genealogy, offer some lessons we learned about that process, share our resultant genealogy as a template
of what can be created, and reflect on the benefits to be gained by tracing a faculty's academic lineage.

| | This paper reports on a study that examines the management literature in Turkey from its beginnings in mid-1930s up to
mid-1960s. The study traces and explores the impact of political and institutional developments on the extent and changes in
the reception that different management approaches and concerns have enjoyed among the Turkish academic community
over the course of this 30-year period. The empirical part of the investigation relies on content and citation analyses of articles
in three academic journals. Findings show that the predominantly economistic approach that has characterized pioneering
work gave way after early 1950s to a Fayolist principles and process approach and an interest in personnel matters and the
human relations perpective. Taylorism attracted limited attention throughout the entire period. The paper attempts to show
that these findings can be traced to the shift from links primarily with the German literature in early years to a strong
American influence after the Second World War. |

| | There has been tremendous growth in corporate universities. This paper looks at the history of training in the United States and the subsequent evolution of the corporate university. It focuses on the nature of the corporate university, who receives training, what courses are taught, how they are delivered, and who pays the bill. Anecdotal evidence about its benefits are described. Alliances with academic insitutions are reported, and a prescription for Business Schools is offered. |
