Under News - Faculty and Research
New research shows that social media mentions have a substantially bigger effect on a company's sales than do the effects of a news story in a traditional media outlet. What does this mean for digital marketers?
MIS and project management research by Senior Associate Dean and Professor of Business Administration Laurie Kirsch is featured in the magazine International Innovation. Her work addresses group dynamics and conflict prevention.
