(May 12, 2008) Carrying HoDo How Harold Doty "St[ood] on the Shoulders of Giants" The recently released 2008 Google Scholar cites report shows that former CoB Dean and current CoB management professor, Duane Harold Doty, sits atop the current CoB with 1,595 GS cites. Many of those CoB faculty who have pondered this result are somewhat at a loss for words because they've never seen Doty display any behaviors while at USM (since summer of 2003) that bear any resemblance to academic research.

(May 13, 2008) CoB Flashback: Fall 2006 CoB Faculty Convocation Join us as we flash back to fall 2006, when the CoB was beginning a new academic year, though not any ordinary one. This was the academic year of the CoB's 2007 AACSB Maintenance of Accreditation Review.

(May 13, 2008) Lost & Found by Duane Cobb Without a doubt, the CoB's faculty turnover rate since former CoB Dean Harold Doty's arrival in 2003 has risen to historically high levels. However, some units have been adversely affected much more so than others. In some cases, units have completely turned over once, if not more than once. In all of these cases one can compare what has been lost to what is now found. That is, the lost faculty in some units can be aggregated into a unit-sized group and compared to what remains for that unit in USM's CoB of today.

(May 14, 2008) Carrying HoDo How Harold Doty "St[ood] on the Shoulders of Giants" Googleocity: Solo-Authored Successes and FailuresAs Part 1 in this series indicated, Doty's research career has seriously benefited from associations with William Glick and George Huber. Now we know that these two management scholars have not only been more successful than Doty in their collaborations with others, they have also been much more successful than Doty in their solo endeavors. Table 1 below indicates just how successful these scholars have been in this regard, and how far the CoB's Doty lags behind them.

(May 16, 2008) 31st & Pearl Memo to Nail: Avoid Doty Now that Lance Nail has accepted USM President Martha Saunders' invitation to succeed D. Harold Doty as USM's fifth business school dean, he should know that staying a healthy distance from Doty might just be the best honeymoon period decision he could make. And, if Nail continues to follow this advice beyond the honeymoon period, his decision to do so will most likely rate as one of the best career decisions he ever makes.

(May 19, 2008) CoB Flashback: Duane Harold Doty's First Day as Dean In January of 2003, former USM President Shelby Thames fired all seven of USM's Deans. He did so without any warning, and he did so as part of restructuring the University. Thames trimmed seven colleges into five, and reorganized USM's College of Business Administration so that what emerged was a new College of Business and Economic Development. Thames then set out to hire five new Deans in just six months, a feat most USM faculty believed would be difficult to accomplish.
