THE EDGENewsletter of the College of Business, University of New Haven | Spring 2014

The graduate campus in Orange is open for business.The College of Business’ new graduate campus brings the corporate world into every classroom.

It is the former headquarters of Hubbell, Inc., so there’s a definite corporate air to the place. In its new incarnation, though, it’s the spectacular site of three of the College’s graduate programs, which moved to the recently renovated location in January of this year.

Adjacent to the Wilbur Cross Parkway in the pastoral stretch between exits 55 and 56, the campus is not only a quick ride from the West Haven campus, but is also attracting students to UNH from new areas — Hartford and nearby Fairfield County.

While the tranquil natural beauty of the campus is certainly a feast for the eyes, there’s a sophisticated high-tech heart beating at the center of it all. One reaches it after a brief jour-ney along a tree-tunneled driveway — a 70,000-square-foot, three-building facility with Wi-Fi throughout and a series of smart classrooms replete with laptops and multiple print stations. Students also have a computer lab with 10 Dell PCs at their disposal.

INSIDE THIS ISSUE

Dean’s MessageWelcome to our second edition of “The Edge,” the official newsletter of the College of Business. It’s been a busy few months

here, as you’ll quickly see once you peruse these pages. Highlights include an enlightening talk as part of the Bartels Lecture Series by distinguished UNH alumnus Shelley Stewart ’90 EMBA on “getting your balance on the tightrope of work.” That’s something that we can all relate to. We’re also taking you back to Orange for an update on our new graduate campus. It’s open for business now, and it truly is a campus like no other — stunning in every way. As always, our students are actively involved in the business world while they study, so you’ll also see what they’ve been up to. And last, but never least, we give you the latest on our faculty — the noteworthy, the published, and even the televised.

Thank you,

Elizabeth B. Davis, Ph.D.Dean, College of Business

Although the campus already has the corporate world in its DNA by virtue of its Hubbell history, that world is also keenly felt through the College’s real-world driven programs and a dynamic faculty with extensive experience in the corporate environment. Currently, three programs live at the Orange campus:

The Executive MBA program. Designed for the experienced profes-sional employed full-time in a managerial role, this program charts a path to the executive ranks. The program integrates strategic thinking with a strong emphasis on global brand strategies and their implementation. Executive coaching is one of the perks of the program.

The MBA program. For both seasoned professionals and those with little-to-no business experience, this part-time program is built on a series of foundational courses in core business subjects like finance, marketing, and economics, followed by a series of advanced courses and a selection of electives or courses in a concentration area. Students have the option of taking some of the foundational courses online.

The M.S. in the Management of Sports Industries. This business-based program focuses on hard-core business skills, which can be applied to many careers. It is the oldest sports management program in the U.S. that has been continuously housed in a college of business.

The Center for Family Business is another new resident on the campus. Counting over 50 family businesses from throughout Connecticut as members, the Center focuses on the health and continuity of these businesses by providing educa-tional and informational services to family business owners and their advisers.

There are some nice, corporate-grade amenities at the Orange campus as well: shuttle service to and from the main campus in West Haven, an attractive café so that busy students don’t go hungry, and a security staff that provides escorts back to students’ cars on request.

With its career-making programs, impressive faculty, stunning setting, and get-down-to-business atmosphere, the Orange campus is more than living up to its promise as a campus like no other, a new haven for business success.

Living Learning Community (LLC) Visits the Federal Reserve with Sofyan Azaizeh

The LLC trip to Boston on Friday, October 25, was a part of the LLC vision of mixing educa-tion with fun while having a great time.

The trip consisted of three parts. For the first part of the trip, students visited the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, where they learned about the Federal Reserve System, monetary policy, currency, and counterfeits. Part Two of the trip was free time, during which students were able to explore parts of the city on their own. Topping that off, for the last part of the trip, was a visit to Fenway Park, where the students enjoyed a tour of the park while learning about the amazing history of Fenway Park and the Boston Red Sox baseball team.

Graduate Student Research Showcase

Seven students from our Yale-New Haven Health Care Administration cohort were chosen to present their group projects at the Graduate Student Research Showcase on November 19.

Their work is the result of a project assigned in Dr. Summer McGee’s Management of Health Care Organizations course. One presentation was on acquiring community medical practices at Yale-New Haven Hospital and the other was a case study about the need for a new vendor relations policy at YNHH.

“Participating in the Boston trip was beyond worth it. To be able to

experience the Boston Federal Reserve and then a tour of Fenway

Park was fascinating. I had a blast and would do it again in a heart-

beat! I would definitely recommend it to anyone!”

Being More Than Ready for the CFA Level 1 ExamAs part of the Finance Department’s effort to foster student engagement, Dr. Charlie Boynton — now joined by Dr. Frank Chen — has led an active CFA Level 1 Exam study group for the past two years. The study group’s main purpose is to promote CFA exam study and prepare the students well for the exam. The activities of the group include setting the plan, lecturing on the topics, doing the exercises, explaining the key points, and sharing the tips. The group meets weekly for two and a half hours.

Chartered Financial Analysts enjoy a relatively high pay rate. According to Dr. Boynton, the Chair of the Finance Department, the average annual salary for a CFA is $485,000. The study group has caught the interest of many students. Among the group’s regular members are MBA students and undergraduate students in the College of Business with majors in general MBA, finance, or even marketing. The door of the study group is always open, though, to all College of Business students. If interested, please contact Dr. Frank Chen at fchen@newhaven.edu for more information.

How Government Spending Affects Economic ProsperityAlice Aleksandrovich, of Edgewater, New Jersey, is a senior who is double-majoring in economics and English literature, with a minor in international relations. Alice’s honors thesis, titled “Government Size and Economic Growth,” was selected for presentation at the Northeast Regional Honors Council Conference, which will take place from April 3 to April 6 in Niagara Falls, New York. Her research, supervised by Dr. Kamal Upadhyaya and Dr. Esin Cakan, aims to illustrate the effect that government spending has on economic growth. Alice will use her findings to discuss what implica-tions government spending — or the lack thereof — has on a country’s economic prosperity and draw conclusions on the role of government in economic policy.

STUDENT NEWS

“One of the things that’s unique about the Orange campus is the sense of cohesion — you see all of your classmates

from the program there. I also like being able to spread out in the breakaway rooms with my classmates and use the

whiteboards, computers and other tools — we can illustrate our ideas and practice our presentations.”

The University of New Haven Awarded the Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad (GPA) Grant

The grant is for a short-term seminar project titled “Global Classrooms and Cultural Connections for the 21st Century Learners: Morocco’s Bountiful Perspec-tives.” The project leaders are: Dr. Halima Belemlih, Lecturer in Modern Languages in the College of Arts and Sciences; Dr. Donna Leake, Coordinator of Internship and Recruiting in the Department of Education in the same college; and Dr. Khadija Al Arkoubi, Assistant

Professor of Management in the College of Business.

This program of study will take place in Morocco from July 8 to August 6. It will immerse a group of 12 pre-service educators from UNH and practic-ing Connecticut K-12 administra-tors and teachers in a four-week intensive study program in

Morocco. Participants receive over forty hours of Arabic language instruction, attend many lectures on different themes pertaining to the culture of the Middle East, develop curriculum materials in areas consistent with the Connecticut Common Core Standards, and form global partnerships with Moroccan educators.

Joseph J. Greco Talks About the Future of Community BankingUNH students gathered for an early morning breakfast on October 2 with the former president and CEO of several community banks. Mr. Greco’s 30-year background includes experience in the various banking and finance trades at institutions such as the First National Bank of Litchfield, The Southern Connecticut Bancorp, Inc., and the Connecticut Bankers Association. The discussion focused on his career experiences and explored his concerns regarding the waning of community banking as it is consumed by larger commercial bank systems. From his point of view, the appearance of centralized banks in the future is a probability that eventually could foster the decline of both community and commercial banking systems.

I had the pleasure of attending a presentation by Meredith Reuben, CEO of Eastern Bag and Paper Supply (EBP), a family business founded by Reuben’s grandfather in 1918. The company is a leading distributor of sustainable, janitorial, and food service products in the Northeast, ship-ping approximately four million cases of products every year to a territory that extends from Maine to Virginia. The company currently has over 293 employees, with $200MM in revenue.

Distribution, Reuben explained, is a huge industry that plays a vital and irreplaceable role in the U.S. economy. She went on to discuss

the growth of her own company and how it has survived among competitors such as Lowes, Sysco, Staples, and Amazon. She credits a strong management team as well as reinvesting the company’s profits to grow the business and added that some of their competitors are not as integrated, which makes it easier for EBP to compete effectively.

In the context of a further discussion on the challenges of a family-run business, Reuben stressed that five million family businesses employ 63% of the workforce and generate 57% of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product.

David Sussman Lectures on the Importance of Innovation.David Sussman, a second-generation owner of PFP, a family-run company specializing in business development, spoke on February 20 about the future — or rather lack of one — for companies who do not engage in innovation.

In his presentation, “How Many Companies Are Still Here if They Fail to Innovate? The Process of Inspira-tion, Innovation and Implementation is the Lifeblood for Sustained Greatness,” he contended that without innovation, existing companies will go out of business, and future companies will have little to no chance.

Mr. Sussman’s own innovative management style and creative marketing approaches have added greatly to the success of PFP, leading to a breakthrough with the company’s phone sales department. Over the last two years, this phone channel has experienced consistent and significant growth and is on track for continued expansion. Currently, PFP is the largest distributor of affordable insurance products sold to credit union members.

A strong fan of communication, Sussman also makes effective use of many social media venues, includ-ing Twitter and LinkedIn in his business. He also has a passion for in-person communication, speaking frequently to the public about his insights and sharing many of his inspiring career experiences.

SPRING 2014 UPCOMING EVENTS EVENTS

On February 7, 2014, Scott Conant, a well-respected New York chef, attended a fundraising dinner for the Connecticut No Kid Hungry cam-paign. The dinner was prepared and served by graduating seniors in the Hospitality and Tourism program. As part of the event, guests engaged in a silent auction and received a signed copy of Conant’s new cookbook, “The Scarpetta Cookbook.”

Scarpetta is an Italian expression that means “little shoe” — or the shape that bread takes when used to soak up the leftovers in a dish. It is also the name of Conant’s restaurant chain, which opened in New York and Miami to rave reviews in 2008.

He opened restaurants with the same name in Toronto at the Thompson Hotel, in Beverly Hills at Montage, and Scarpetta and D.O.C.G. Enoteca at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas in 2010.

Conant grew up in an Italian-American household in Waterbury, Connecticut, and began taking cooking classes at age 11. He is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and studied pastry at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof in Munich, Germany after graduation.

Conant is also a judge on Food Network’s “Chopped.” He is the author of two other cookbooks: “New Italian Cooking” and “Bold Italian.”

balance of three elements: hard work, a little bit of luck to go with it, and taking the time to enjoy life.

He then spoke at length on what he calls his three “Ps” of success — Prepare, but actually overprepare, Perform, but actually outperform, and Persevere.

Stewart joined DuPont in 2012 after spending nine years at Tyco International. At Dupont, he is currently vice president of sourcing and logistics and chief procurement officer, a position in which he is responsible for $13 billion in procurement spending. He was recognized in 2012 by Black Enterprise magazine as one of the most powerful executives in corporate America.

An experienced supply chain manager, Stewart held previous positions as vice president of Tyco’s supply chain, senior vice president of supply chain management at Invensys PLC in London, and vice president for supply chain management for Raytheon. He also spent 18 years at United Technologies.

Professor Gil Fried Presents “Fanalytics: What Are Fans Worth”On October 3, Dr. Gil Fried gave a presentation on fanalytics, a takeoff on the very popular sport analytics. Dr. Fried maintained that while there is significant information on player statis-tics, there is not enough information about fans and whether they are a great investment for teams. The information that is available is the typical demographic information such as gender, age, average income, television viewing preferences, and expenditure levels. But, similar to batting averages, total number of home runs, or number of touchdown passes, these numbers are often misleading or incomplete.The fan data that is currently available only examines the financial side of the transaction associ-ated with sports fans, and this does not give a complete picture. Most busi-nesses are now starting to determine whether a customer is worthwhile or not, dropping unprofitable and problematic customers. The sports industry needs to undertake the same approach, according to Dr. Fried. Fans who spend a lot of money, but start fights, create a hostile environment, or are very demanding can be a huge problem. A para-digm to help access fans and determine who are truly the best fans for a team is definitely needed.

“To Sign or Not to Sign: The Use of Treatment Agreements for Opioid Prescribing” by Professor Summer McGee

On November 7, Summer McGee, Ph.D., CPH, associ-ate professor in the Department of Public Management, gave a presentation titled “To Sign or Not to Sign: The Use of Treatment Agreements for Opioid Prescribing” to the COB Faculty Research Forum. Dr. McGee is a nationally recognized expert in bioethics and has been working for the last few years on the topic of ethical issues in chronic pain care and policy. Her presenta-tion focused on the ethical issues in using “treatment agreements,” also known as pain or opioid contracts, for patients who are prescribed opioids for pain.

Significant media and public policy attention has been given to the issues of prescription drug abuse and particularly opioid abuse in the United States. Dr. McGee explained that many different political, regulatory, and medical practice strategies have been tried in order to curb prescription opioid abuse. Most recently, states have attempted to police and control physicians’ prescribing behaviors to “cut off opioid abuse at the source.”

In addition, doctors are being asked to require all patients who receive opioid prescriptions to sign contracts that require them to submit to drug screening and pill counts and which give physicians the right to no longer prescribe opioids or terminate their relationships with patients who abuse these drugs. Dr. McGee expressed great concern about the ethics of these tactics, saying that “they present a great threat to the physician-patient relationship, which is supposed to be based on trust, not contracts and legal documents.” She believes that more robust consent procedures and patient education are the better solution to curbing prescription drug abuse.

Professor Uncovers Racial Workforce Disparity in Connecticut HospitalsTony Carter, UNH professor of management, recently prepared a report for the Connecticut NAACP to exam-ine the racial and ethnic business practices of hospitals in the state.

The data in the report revealed a lack of minority representation among boards of directors/trustees, professional staff, and vendors in hospitals. In some cases, there were no affirmative action plans in place. Carter said in the report that many of Connecticut’s hospitals do not employ minorities in numbers that are representative of the population served by the hospitals.

“Hospitals often are the largest employers in their communities and, as such, have the social responsibility of serving their communities in an equitable manner,” he said.

Carter has over 15 years of experience teaching in top-ranked Executive MBA and executive management programs. He is the author of several books and journal articles related to the topics of strategic marketing management, hospital marketing, and diversity.

Carter’s study followed a 2007 NAACP report on the health status of minorities in the state of Connecticut that lead to the creation of the state’s Commission of Health Equity.

“Besides the social and economic benefits of increasing minority employment and supporting minority-owned businesses, hospitals can make a positive difference by bringing true diversity to urban hospital board structures,” he said.

UniTown Network Conference Promotes Best Town-Gown Practices in European UnionLast October, Roger Kemp, Ph.D., ICMA-CM, Practitioner in Residence, Dept. of Public Management, College of Business at the University of New Haven, gave a keynote speech titled “Town and Gown Beat and Evolving Practices” at the first UniTown Network Conference in Ferrara, Italy in October 2013. His presentation was based on the research for his latest book, Town and Gown Relations: A Handbook of Best Prac-tices (McFarland and Co., Inc., 2013). This volume focused on the best town-gown practices in North America (the U.S. and Canada).

Many university and public officials talked about joint town-gown best practices in their respective communities from throughout Europe. The goal is to initiate a UniTown Network website, to codify information in this field, and to come up with a listing of worldwide online town-gown resources.

UniTown associates include 13 universities from Estonia, France, Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and The Nether-lands. The aim of the association is to analyze and face the challenges that the European economic crisis and the new strategies to overcome it pose to the university towns.

The basic objectives of the conference were:

. To improve and rationalize the relationships between cities and their universities

. To improve and rationalize their relationships with higher-level governmental institutions: regional and state governments, central government, European Union

. To develop a common strategy among urban systems that play an important role in cultural and economic development.

The UniTown Network is the first multi-national organization of its type in the world.

UNH Professors Publish Local Government in Connecticut, 3rd Edition.

Three faculty members in Public Administration have just published a book titled Local Government in Connecticut, 3rd Edition. Faculty members Frank B. Connolly and Roger L. Kemp are adjuncts and Practitioners-in-Residence. Phil K. Schenck is an adjunct faculty member. All three are current or former town managers in Connecticut and have published numerous articles on Connecticut local government. The publisher is the Wesleyan University Press in cooperation

with the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities (CCM).

The book explains the day-to-day operations of Connecticut’s municipalities, the three major forms of local government in Connecticut, the charter revision process, regional planning organizations, the relationship of municipalities to the State, and the limited role of the federal government in municipal operations. The functions of key local municipal positions are identified.

The College of Business Has a New Graduate Campus

Courtesy of UNH Today

Recently, UNH finalized the purchase of the former Hubbell Inc. headquarters in Orange, Connecticut

for use as a graduate campus for the College of Business.

The purchase was underwritten by gifts from two prominent UNH alumni and their wives: Charles

Pompea — Class of ’71, who received his EMBA in 1990 — and his wife, Tamera, and Samuel S.

Bergami, Jr. — who received his EMBA in 1985 — and his wife, Lois. Together, they made significant

contributions to make the purchase possible.

“We are deeply grateful to the Pompeas and the Bergamis for their continuing support of the University’s

transformation,” said President Steven Kaplan. “Their generous contributions help make UNH’s vision a reality.”

The graduate campus property is on 47 acres, located directly adjacent to the Wilbur Cross Parkway. It

has three attached buildings, totaling approximately 70,000 square feet, that can easily be converted

into classrooms, computer labs, and faculty offices. In addition, the site has both underground and

surface parking.

Kaplan thanked the town of Orange and Hubbell for their help in completing the purchase. “Orange

has been wonderful to work with, and we are really looking forward to being part of the community,”

he said. “Hubbell was very accommodating and helped us bring this tremendous resource to UNH.”

The University plans to grow and enhance several of its graduate programs at the new Graduate

campus, which will help alleviate space issues on the main campus in West Haven. The suburban

campus is easily accessible, not only to the immediate area, but also to Hartford as well as
