(May 19, 2008) Carrying HoDo How Harold Doty "St[ood] on the Shoulders of Giants" Following the Bread Crumbs The preamble to each of the four parts in this series indicates that Doty has 1,595 Google Scholar citations. However, as Part 2 in this series pointed out, Doty's research career has benefited tremendously from his associations with William Glick and George Huber, two of Doty's UT-Austin mentors who have made quite a name for themselves over their respective careers.

(May 20, 2008) There's No Denying It, They Were All There by Duane Cobb The opinion that the 2002-07 USM Presidency of Shelby F. Thames was an unmitigated disaster is one that is widely held. One gets glimpses of why this is so from (the pages of) the various news media (e.g., The Hattiesburg American, The Clarion Ledger, The Student Printz, etc.) and web blogs (e.g., the USM Forum -- to build trust, a team and a campus -- Message Board, Liberty & Power, USMNEWS.NET, etc.) that reported on the USM issues of the day. One can also sense the devastation wrought on the institution (USM) by the Thames administration from the oral histories passed on by those (faculty, staff, students, etc.) who were "there" during that awful time.

(May 19, 2008) (corrected and updated May 21, 2008) Carrying HoDo How Harold Doty "St[ood] on the Shoulders of Giants" Doty's Little Box As Parts 1 and 2 in this series indicated, Doty's research career has seriously benefited from associations with UT-Austin mentors William Glick and George Huber, as well as that with his former University of Arkansas colleague, John Delery. Part 2 also examined the Google Scholar cites for Doty, Delery and two of Doty's UT-Austin classmates -- Chet Miller and Kathleen Sutcliffe. That issue (Part 2) demonstrated that these two management scholars have not only been more successful than Doty in their collaborations with scholars other than Glick and Huber, they have also been much more successful than Doty in their solo endeavors. Similar findings were presented for Delery, Glick and Huber.

(May 19, 2008) (corrected and updated May 21, 2008) Special Report Is Doty Lucky to be at USM? An Investigative Series on CoB Faculty Research Credentials The new USMNEWS.NET series, "Carrying HoDo . . .," has been a popular one among our readers. This report takes advantage of some of the leftover investigation work-product from that series in order to provide some additional information about former CoB Dean Harold Doty's research record. The information below will likely be of great interest to much of our readership.

(May 23, 2008) CoB Flashback: keepgas.doc In January of 2003 former USM President Shelby Thames fired all of USM's deans and reorganized the University. The reorganization of USM led to both new colleges and fewer colleges than before. One of these was the College of Business and Economic Development, and one of the finalists for the CBED dean's position (in the spring of 2003) was Syracuse University's Harold Doty. Doty told the crowd of CBED faculty and staff gathered for his interview presentation that he (Doty) viewed the inclusion of economic development (ED) in the business college (CB) as an opportunity to create an advantage and do new things. Shortly after taking the post as the dean of the CBED, Doty even taught a graduate-level course in economic development. It would be the only course he ever taught during his tenure as dean from July-03 through early April-07.
