The Huntsman Experience, Usu Jon M. Huntsman School Of Business

Jon M. Huntsman School of Business News Collection

When Breanne Yamauchi, Business Administration and Marketing, ’18, tore her ACL just a few months before coming to Utah State University, she was crushed. She had always imagined herself balancing college sports with classes. Now that sports weren’t an option, she would have to look elsewhere for activities to define her college experience. This was a pattern that she would see over and over again – when one door closed, another one always opened.

How I Spent My Summer, Usu Jon M. Huntsman School Of Business

Jon M. Huntsman School of Business News Collection

Last summer, I had the opportunity to visit businesses and learn about culture in Vietnam, Thailand, and China with the Global Learning Experiences Program at the Huntsman School of Business. This experience has been the highlight of my college experience. This amazing experience provided me with an opportunity to expand and strengthen my own perspective, and helped me one to understand and better analyze global business issues in a broader perspective. Moreover, the cultural experience helped me, as a student, and a future worker, to think objectively about myself, tolerate differences, and recognize and appreciate diversity.

This spring marked the inauguration of our new Huntsman Hall. As new doors were opened and the dust settled, we took time to reflect on the school’s journey and the legacy that Huntsman Hall houses. And so the inaugural Emeriti Luncheon came to be. A perfect marriage of the old and new, the luncheon bridged the gap and provided an opportunity for current faculty to interact with their predecessors. The day also included tours of the new facility and, of course, no visit to campus is complete without Aggie Ice Cream. Senior Associate Dean, Department Head, and EY Professor, Larry …

The idea for HealthEquity, one of the nation’s largest health savings custodians, was germinated in a class at USU during Steve Neeleman’s sophomore year. “I took this class, medical sociology, taught by Reed Geertsen, and it really opened my eyes to the cost of healthcare and our system of health insurance,” recounted Neeleman. After graduating from Utah State, where he also played football, he went on to the University of Utah Medical School. After juggling two careers, as a surgeon and running HealthEquity for more than a decade, Steve gave up practicing surgery about 18 months ago to focus his …

Jon M. Huntsman School of Business News Collection

From snowy walks up Old Main Hill, to thundering basketball games in the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum, to late night study sessions in the library, I loved my time at Utah State University and the opportunities it offered me. Attending USU opened my eyes to different perspectives, places, and things — I made friends from small western towns and big international cities. I studied abroad in France and interned on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. These opportunities, which shaped me as a person and helped me find my way down a rewarding career path, were made possible by the vision …

The purpose of both the Utah Women & Leadership Project (UWLP) Research & Policy Brief Series and the Research Snapshot Series is to provide data that can be useful to individuals, groups, organizations, and communities toward efforts to improve the equality and impact of girls and women throughout the state. A host of state rankings has continually listed Utah as one of the worst states in the nation for women. Although we disagree with some of the measures, it remains clear that change is needed to strengthen the impact of Utah women for the good of women themselves, families, communities, …

Why Do We Need More Women Leaders In Central And Eastern Europe?, Susan R. Madsen, Tanja Slišković Aug 2016

Why Do We Need More Women Leaders In Central And Eastern Europe?, Susan R. Madsen, Tanja Slišković

Marketing and Strategy Faculty Publications

The majority of top leadership teams do not fully realize the value of having women in key positions. A large body of research has shown this is the case across all sectors, including business, government, political, nonprofit, and education. Depending on the entity, this may include women in both paid and unpaid roles ranging from positions such as supervisor, coordinator and manager, to school principal, council member, CEO, or board director. Gender inclusivity benefits not only businesses, but also entities such as legislatures, universities, schools, and city and municipality councils. Organizations will increasingly thrive when both men and women hold …

This study uses a sample of firms from the Compustat database and runs a regression using book to tax differences and company returns as compared to the market. Results show that book to tax differences do have some predictive value which could potentially allow an investor to …

Entrepreneurs Choose Persistence Over Adventure, Usu Jon M. Huntsman School Of Business

Jon M. Huntsman School of Business News Collection

When considering potential new opportunities, entrepreneurs typically contemplate the possible financial and non-financial benefits that may be generated and the probability of successfully starting the business. Unsurprisingly, if the new opportunity is perceived to be able to generate a lot of benefits, the entrepreneur will be more likely to pursue the opportunity. Similarly, the higher the perceived probability of success, the greater the motivation to start the business. Entrepreneurship research has shown that these two factors also have a multiplicative effect on motivation in that the attractiveness of the opportunity increases even more dramatically when both value and probability are …
