Gopro Marketing Competition, Usu Jon M. Huntsman School Of Business Apr 2014

Gopro Marketing Competition, Usu Jon M. Huntsman School Of Business

Jon M. Huntsman School of Business News Collection

I had no idea what to expect from my first marketing competition. I signed up anyway, thinking that this could lead to anew line on my resume, or maybe the opportunity to rub shoulders with other professionals in the marketing field. While both those things did happen, I can honestly say I am a better marketer because this is experience, and that alone is worth it.

The Status Of Women Leaders In Utah Businesses, Susan R. Madsen, D. Candice Backus, Glaucia Jones

Marketing and Strategy Faculty Publications

In September 2013, the Center for American Progress released a report titled“ The State of Women in America: A 50- State Analysis of How Women Are Faring Across the Nation.” This report ranks Utah last of all 50 states in terms of women being in positions of decision making and leadership. Although the focus is solely on the percentage of women in elected office and private sector management positions, we feel that a more detailed look on the status of women in leadership in various sectors within the state is useful. This is the last of four 2014 briefs, each …

Judging A Part By The Size Of Its Whole: The Category Size Bias In Probability Judgments, Usu Jon M. Huntsman School Of Business, Aaron R. Brough, Mathew S. Isaac

Consumers might be said to have a prediction addiction—they speculate about sports, politics, weather, stocks, sweepstakes, health, and relationships, to name just a few areas. What’s more, predictions often guide their decisions.For example, they may decide to carry an umbrella after considering the chance of rain, to invest after forecasting the stock market’s performance, or to marry after predicting the likelihood of marital bliss. With all this practice, one might expect consumers to be good at judging probability. However, their predictions are often wrong.

Professor Frank Shuman Recognized In Ima Magazine, Usu Jon M. Huntsman School Of Business

Jon M. Huntsman School of Business News Collection

The student chapter at Utah State University is one of IMA’s ongoing success stories. For 18 consecutive years, the chapter has achieved the Gold Level Award of Excellence. For five of those years, including 2013, it’s been named an Outstanding Student Chapter, which is granted to only a few schools each year. That’s quite a track record – and although he’s too modest to admit it, a large portion of the credit goes to Frank Shuman, CMA, pictured here, who’s been the chapter’s faculty advisor (now an IMA Campus Advocate) since that long, successful run began.

Advancing Research On Women And Leadership: Developing An Hrd Scholarly Agenda, Susan R. Madsen, Julia Storberg-Walker, Kristina Natt Och Dag

Marketing and Strategy Faculty Publications

Clearly, the topic of developing leaders is of utmost importance in all contexts and it is particularly important for the HRD discipline: over 1,400 journal articles in AHRD journals have the word ‘leadership’ as one of their subject terms.1 Almost monthly the front cover of the Harvard Business Review has ‘leadership’ boldly displayed, either as the main article or as a supporting news brief. Scholarly research abounds, and there are many leadership frameworks, models, and theories contributing to the quantity of research articles. Unfortunately, however, the diversity of ideas and the explosion of interest has generally not focused on …


Delay Discounting Affects Entrepreneurial Intention And Action, Tyson Barrett Jan 2014

Delay Discounting Affects Entrepreneurial Intention And Action, Tyson Barrett

Research on the Hill (Salt Lake City)

Delay discounting impacts every decision a human makes when given the option of a sooner or a later receipt of a reward. This tendency results in individuals giving up bigger, later rewards for smaller, sooner ones. However, individuals differ in their level of discounting according to their innate tendency and the situation. For example, some individuals naturally discount future rewards more, resulting in preferring even smaller rewards sooner. Because delay discounting affects such a broad spectrum of decision making, the authors hypothesized that delay discounting affects when, or if, an individual intends on starting a business. If an individual starts …

The Center for American Progress recently released a report titled, “The State of Women in America: A 50-State Analysis of How Women Are Faring Across the Nation.” This September 2013 document ranked Utah last in terms of women being in positions of decision making and leadership. The focus was on both the percentage of women in elected office (state and national levels) and also women holding private sector management positions, but it did not provide the depth needed to fully understand the issue. To provide leaders and residents with more detailed research, four 2014 briefs will be released that compare …

Vern Buehler has stirred up a group of thoughtful, restless students, who are tactful yet very direct, and opinionated but open-minded.

Agco Corporation Valuation, Sean Michael Miller Dec 2013

Agco Corporation Valuation, Sean Michael Miller

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

This paper will discuss the excellent growth potential that AGCO Corporation faces and the reason that this company's stock is rated as a hold position. AGCO has seen tremendous progress and is in an industry that shows that a growing world population will continue to need food and more efficient ways to create food. However, based on sensitivities of assumptions in the models presented herein and on a current share price that is already close to my assumed fair value I do not issue a buy recommendation.
