Department Lloyd Greif Center for Entrepreneurial Studies

I. FACULTY WORKLOAD PROFILE (using 9 pt. scale)

II. TEACHING

Courses taught during January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2016

Fall 2016

BUAD 301, "Technology Entrepreneurship"

Class Number 14640, 3.0 Units Official Enrollment Number: 38 (initial enrollment was 40)

Number Responding to course evaluation: 18

Instructor Rating (Q11): 4.11

Course Rating (Q12): 3.83

Comments: Student evaluation period was opened without my knowledge, and so I was not able to schedule an

in-class time for students to complete the evaluation - thus the participation rate is low.

While I taught this same course the prior term, this semester, I reworked the course to increase scores associated

with 'individual' effort, and also implemented a new scenario-based exam. I also sourced and invited guest speakers

to provide students with connections to local entrepreneurs with relevant experience/knowledge, while

simultaneously allowing them to hear from entrepreneurs other than just myself.

In addition,

-Updated the teaching to include a USC written entrepreneurship-oriented case (Surf Air), assigning my students to

purchase this case through HBSP as part of their course packet.

-Incorporated a ‘social entrepreneurship’ assignment early in the term, in support of USC/Marshall’s diversity

mission and desire to engage students with respect to ‘Great Challenges.’ This assignment, in addition to acting as

a graded project, resulted in considerable classroom discussion about how entrepreneurship can be directed at

solving ‘social ills’ in addition to having other goals (such as income/wealth accumulation).

Fall 2016






Comments: See comments for section 14640 (Fall 2016), above.


Spring 2016






Comments: While I taught this same course the prior term, I extensively reworked the course syllabus for this term

as I sought to integrate student feedback received through course evaluations.

The three biggest changes were:

-eliminating the 'final presentation'

-establishing a class exam

-creating an in-class assigned projects

These changes allowed me to address students' desire for greater individual-level work for grade determination.

They also allowed me to address a concern two prior students raised with respect to difficulty concentrating during

3-hour evening courses.

In support of the USC Great Challenges, as well as to help better socialize students as thinking members of society, I

also implemented an exercise to challenge students to think about entrepreneurial solutions to civil/human rights

(writ large); challenges occurring currently in the US. While students were not required to conduct projects with

these ideas, several in-class discussions revolved around the exercise.

Fall 2015


Class Number 14640, 3.0 Units Official Enrollment Number: 40




Comments: This was the first time I taught this course, and the first course I taught at USC/Marshall. As a result, it

involved considerable developmental work. I utilized pre-existing syllabi from three prior professors, integrating

and adapting them in ways I thought would improve the course and lead to more team-based activity, while also

complimenting my teaching style. I updated the cases used, and the assignments due, as well as the grading rubrics

applied to the course. In furtherance of the course redevelopment effort, I spent approximately 5 hours meeting

with two other professors (one of whom had previously taught the course, and the other teaching this course during

the same term). This allowed me to gain a better prospective understanding of the students and their needs, and to

coordinate with the other faculty member to ensure topical consistency across our sections.

Overall, I created a syllabus based around five distinct modules:

-individual-level issues in entrepreneurship

-founding teams

-entrepreneurial marketing

-business model development and analysis

-financing the venture

Combined, these efforts updated a pre-existing course and increased the team-based activities for the students. I

also arranged for novel speakers (including a contact I have from London UK) to support the learning activities.

Note: I taught three sections of this course, each on a different calendar, so I needed to develop a flexible course

schedule to accommodate such differences.

IV. SERVICE

Departmental Service Departmental, Greif Center Faculty Meetings, approximately 7 hours spent for the year. (2016 -

2017). Departmental, Seminar Speaker Meetings and Meals, approximately 10 hours spent for the year.

(2016 - 2017). One-on-One meetings with seminar speakers Meals with seminar speakers

(2016). Departmental, Greif Center Student Welcome Activities and Open House, approximately 5 hours

spent for the year. (2016). Participated in, and encouraged my Viterbi Engineering students to attend, Greif Center welcome (start-of-year) activities. By encouraging the participation of non-business school students in the welcome events, I have helped to integrate a diverse student group into our community (not solely into a single class); ultimately, I hope this pays-off through these students' continued participation in Greif events and classes.

Departmental, Greif Center Teaching Retreat, approximately 5 hours spent for the year. (2016). Departmental, Job-talk prep for post doc, approximately 6 hours spent for the year. (2016).


Post-doc Lien Denoo prepared and presented her job-talk presentation in preparation for the job market. I attended, and then gave considerable written feedback to Lien. I also provided her with significant insight into the job-talk/interview process, in support of her job search activities.

Departmental, Greif Center Faculty Recruiting Committee, Member, approximately 3 hours spent for

the year. (September 2016 - October 2016). Serve on Faculty Recruiting Committee: Committee was 'disbanded' after Vice Dean of Faculty and Department Director decided not to engage in faculty recruiting this year. However, I had already spent a couple hours trying to get three outside faculty to submit their packets this year.

Departmental, Greif Center Faculty Meetings, approximately 7 hours spent for the year. (2015 -

2016). Departmental, Greif Center Faculty Recruiting Committee, Member, approximately 18 hours spent

for the year. (September 2015 - June 2016).

Ultimately, these job talks resulted in several strong offers and acceptances.

Departmental, Greif Center Student Welcome Activities, approximately 3 hours spent for the year.

(2015). Participated in, and encouraged my Viterbi Engineering students to attend, Greif Center welcome (start-of-year) activities. By encouraging the participation of non-business school students in the welcome events, I have helped to integrate a diverse student group into our community (not solely into a single class); ultimately, I hope this pays-off through these students' continued participation in Greif events and classes.

Departmental, OMBA program, approximately 10 hours spent for the year. (2015).

1) Recruited a speaker for video-taped interview for use in the OMBA program: Angus Kennedy, Kennedy’s Digital, London UK 2) Conducted the on-tape interview of this speaker This speaker was able to address a couple significant issues, based on his experience. One of those issues is the likelihood that a new/inexperienced entrepreneur is more likely to open a new venture, while an experienced entrepreneur is more likely to buy or modify an existing venture: this speaker (Angus Kennedy/Kennedy Digital) was able to address both of these methods, while also providing an example of how firms must continue to monitor and respond to social and technical changes in their environment.


Marshall School Service.

School, Marshall Faculty Meetings, approximately 4 hours spent for the year. (2016 - 2017). School, Marshall Faculty Committee, substitute attendee for Gene Miller, approximately 6 hours

School, Marshall/Greif Case Teaching Workshops, Attendee, approximately 10 hours spent for the

year. (2016). Learned effective case teaching methodologies The result has been an increase in the effectiveness in my use of cases for teaching, while also increasing the likelihood that my students will read and be prepared before class.

Directorships and Management Responsibilities

Teaching Activities Outside USC Work by USC faculty at another college or university requires advance approval per the Faculty Handbook. In addition,

instruction or course creation for other outside enterprises may be inconsistent with a faculty member’s responsibilities to

USC. Before undertaking any such commitment, a faculty member must seek advance approval from the dean and take

reasonable steps to ensure that the proposed activity will not create a conflict or appearance of conflict with any USC

program, or dilute USC’s academic stature. Further, any faculty member may be an educator at another institution or

enterprise in non-emergency situations only upon the written prior approval of the Provost or the Provost’s designate. List

any teaching activities outside USC.
