Welcome to the Smeal Zine!
Here's the latest issue of SMEAL Zine, a monthly electronic magazine designed to keep alumni and friends in touch with the latest news and information from Penn State's Smeal College of Business and its nationally ranked programs and world-renowned research centers.
Smeal Research: Examining Ethics Codes Effectiveness Regulatory or governmental mandates calling for the implementation of corporate ethics codes do less to influence the decisions of financial executives than pressure from stakeholders with economic ties to the firm. Read more about the research co-authored by John (Jack) Stevens and David Harrison and published in Strategic Management Journal at http://www.smeal.psu.edu/news/releases/ Team Wins Logistics Case Competition For the second time in three years, Smeal MBAs won the International Graduate Logistics Case Competition in Chicago. In front of a panel of industry executives from Guidant Foods, FedEx Freight, Miller Brewing, and W.W. Grainger, the team of Matt Deep, Fabian Dohmes, Bert Garnes, Mani Gokarnesan, Alexis Saponsky, and Matt Sheehan trumped teams from Minnesota, Ohio State, Michigan State, and other schools.
