Faculty members from business schools within colleges and universities around the state were recognized for their published business articles in the annual Publications of New Jersey Business Faculty. A collaboration between NJPRO and the Stillman School of Business, the volumes include abstracts and citations from authors at 18 of New Jersey’s colleges. From these articles, a distinguished panel of deans and business people have chosen certain articles as “Bright Ideas Research Awards” recognizing outstanding business research being conducted at state colleges and universities.
The Stillman School of Business seeks to improve the learning environment of students and faculty and to enhance the effectiveness of business organizations. The NJPRO Foundation is New Jersey’s leading policy organization conducting innovative and practical research on issues of importance to employers. The Foundation educates decision makers and the business community about important policy issues of the day and their possible impact on the business world. Making the connection between the classroom and the board room is a goal of NJPRO.
