Featured Research<\/h2>\n

Lobbying expenditures yield big returns (audio)<\/strong>
\nWhen it comes to lobbying, more firms are getting into the game. Recent research by David Parsley<\/strong>, E. Bronson Ingram Professor in Economics and Finance, provides a picture of just how profitable such activities can be.<\/p>\n

Thinking like a CEO (audio)<\/strong>
\nLeading a company often involves a paradox. The skills that propel a person to the top\u2014whether an entrepreneur building a new business or someone rising through an established program\u2014may not be the skills most essential for guiding the entire enterprise as a chief executive. Michael Burcham<\/strong>, Professor for the Practice of Management, David Furse<\/strong>, Adjunct Professor of Management, and Kimberly Pace<\/strong>, Clinical Assistant Professor of Management, reflect on qualities that characterize how CEOs think and behave.<\/p>\n

Hiring advice for employers (audio)<\/strong>
\nEven in a tight job market, high-pressure recruitment tactics can poison the employer-employee relationship. Research by Ray Friedman<\/strong>, Brownlee O. Currey Professor of Management, shows that a perceived mistreatment during the recruitment process can prove costly for the employer months or even years down the road.<\/p>\n
