(March 9, 2009) Ghastly Service Ghosts A LOOK AT FALL 2008 SERVICE DERELICTION IN THE COB Faculty in
the CoB’s management and marketing department (MGT & MKT) have, on occasion, referred to CoB economics
professor Mark Klinedinst as “the ghost.” They do so because Klinedinst has spent much of his tenure in USM’s
CoB out of USM’s CoB. Put simply – he has, over the past 20+ years, rarely been around Greene Hall (JAG). Had he
been a stellar researcher, such behavior could be excused. In Klinedinst’s case, however, there has not been a
publication in an indexed journal article since 1998, an oft-cited statistic in reports and editorials here at
USMNEWS.net.
