Have You Met With an Advisor?

Do you know that

seeing your advisor

for a periodic update

can save you time

and money? New to Madonna’s School of Business? Not sure what to study or even if you want to study a major in business? See Lindsay Rucinski, our Advisor and Coordi-nator to discuss such issues. Lind-say has an excellent insight into programs in business at Madonna because she earned both her un-dergraduate business degree and her MBA here. Each undergradu-ate and graduate student should also make an appointment with Lindsay after being admitted to a School of Business program. The purpose of this meeting is to go over program requirements and prepare a plan of study.

Each student also has a faculty advisor. You should see this per-son to chart progress in your ma-jor, discuss academic problems you face, learn about possible internships in your major, and for general advising.

One of the advantages of attend-

ing Madonna is your access to

sound academic advising. Take

advantage of the opportunity.

Lindsay’s office is in room M121 of the Maertens Building. Call 734 432-5361 or make an ap-pointment with the School of Business Secretary at 734 432-5354.

INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS

SCHOOL OF BUSINESS SERVING STUDENTS IN HAITI

Beginning in the fall semester 2011, Madonna’s School of Busi-

ness began teaching the Bachelor of Science degree comple-

tion program for business administration majors in Haiti. This is

an online program for students with approximately two years of

college and who want to earn this degree to improve their for-

mal educational background in business with the intent of using

their education in a company in Haiti. Students are studying

three courses each semester totally

online. Courses are taught by Ma-

donna faculty and use the same

textbooks and course packs as

would be utilized in a campus

course.

A third cohort of online classes will

begin in September, 2013 and the total number of students in

that group will be approximately 27. Each year the recruited

student group is stronger academically and Madonna faculty

teaching in the program gain real satisfaction teaching in this

program realizing that the Haitian students served can use their

education to help fellow students and the general population in

their country.

DUBAI PROGRAM

The School of Business has worked

with the World of Knowledge Man-

agement Development Centre in

Dubai, UAE since 2003 offering an

international business administra-

tion undergraduate degree comple-

tion program. Currently we also

teach the accounting major in Du-

bai. In 2004 we started teaching

the MBA degree in that country.

Both the undergraduate and gradu-

ate degrees are taught online using

professors from the main campus.

The success of the Dubai business

programs can be attributed to the

close working relationship between

Drs. Paulson and Kaup at the

World of Knowledge Management

Development Centre in Dubai and

Madonna’s School of Business, a

commitment by both parties to stu-

dent success, and students who

desire a Western degree from an

accredited university.

Academic service-learning is a form of

experiential learning that facilitates a

deeper understanding of course

objectives while simultaneously

addressing community needs. In

service-learning courses students share

their knowledge, talents, and skills in

service with the community. Structured

reflection is an integral part of the

service-learning experience and

provides an opportunity for learning,

growth, and development. Service-

learning fulfills the University’s mission

by instilling in students Christian

humanistic values, intellectual inquiry, a

respect for diversity, and a commitment

to serving others.

The Management 6950—Strategic

Management of Business Policy project

was to design a comprehensive

business plan for the proposed Art

Factory, owned by Partnership for the

Arts & Humanities of Canton, Michigan.

The proposed Art Factory will be in an

old factory and dormitory once owned

by Henry Ford and now designated as a

Historical Site by the State of Michigan.

Celebrating Research

The students of Madonna University’s School of Business continue to make notable strides in the area of research. In several courses, original primary research is a requirement for successful completion of the course. At Ma-donna, students are given opportunities to exhibit their skills and knowledge beyond just the classroom. One of these opportunities is the Campus-wide Student and Faculty Re-search Day, where course research projects are exhibited in poster format. This competition has grown significantly in number of participants and in quality over the three years it has been established.

These undergraduate and graduate student projects are judged by faculty and cash prizes are awarded within each class division. The 2013 Research Day, officially called ‘Celebrate Our Research Endeavors’ was held Wednesday, April 17th from 11 to 1 pm at the Franciscan Center. The School of Business is proud to have two of its students, Sengmany Phantharangsy and Diana Merlino, take third-place in the undergraduate division. Their project was conducted in QS 4230 Marketing Research and was titled “Marketing Small Businesses in the Digital Age”. As quoted by the two researchers, “This research study sought to bring awareness to the significance of sound marketing strategies that are supportive to small businesses because of their limited resources for promotional plans. In this study, various traditional and digital money-saving shopping techniques were examined with customers’ attitudes through an online survey.” Through the analytical results

obtained from t tests, ANOVA and Factor Analysis, small business owners can use this information to tailor marketing strategies to better fit their customers.

We congratulate Sengmany and Diana on their re-search results and for being an award winner on Research Day! Sengmany will continue to exhibit this work at the Fall 2013 SAS Analytics Conference in Orlando where she was invited to present the poster and attend the conference. We are proud that she will continue to represent the research endeavors of Madonna University and the School of Busi-ness.

With the encouragement of Sr. Rose Marie, the School of Busi-

ness initiated the Small Business Research Center to: (1) identify

small Michigan businesses that seek to improve their perfor-

mance, (2) work one-on-one with the businesses to help them

achieve their goals, (3) provide an opportunity for graduate as

well as undergraduate students to participate in the research and

(4) compile and publish the data gathered from the research to

enhance overall knowledge in the subjects.

Madonna University faculty members are currently working with

two Michigan companies. The first company has about 20 employees and was identified as

a result of Critical Success Factors research conducted by Dr. Pat Pelavin which involved a

large number of Livonia small businesses. Our faculty is assisting the company in market-

ing, customer development plans, competition analysis, human resource management, in-

ventory management, data management and technology applications.

The second company has about 60 employees and contacted the school of business direct-

ly. We are currently assisting in the marketing area including enhancement of web and me-

dia presence, developing plans to improve employee client relationship skills and general

management issues.

The School of Business is working on plans to deliver employee training seminars to en-

hance employee client development and maintenance skills. Student projects were pro-

posed to gather information relevant to needs and opinions of clients. Plans to measure em-

ployee innovativeness and growth potential in marketing were suggested. Based on the re-

sults, training and educational plans can be developed.

INTERNSHIPS/ALUMNI NEWS

Many students are frustrated when they graduate because poten-tial employers won’t hire them due to a lack of work experience. One way to get that work experience is through an internship while you are still in school or even after you have graduated. Today, employ-ers still want to hire graduates with good grades who they perceive to be hard workers with good attitudes and ideas. However, they also want to know that their new hire has a certain amount of “business sense,” can communicate effectively, has practiced real organizational teamwork, and has developed some of the skills set they may have learned in the classroom.

Some of our business majors are required to intern or co-op but even in those majors where it is not required, an internship is a valu-able experience whether it is a paid or non-paid activity. Students should visit or call Chris Brandt in Career Services to learn more about internships and how they benefit your educational experience.

Art Van Furniture’s Directors of Human Resources and College Recruiting met with Kathleen Richard, M.A., Department Head of Merchandising Management on 4/19/2013 to talk about their new college recruiting program.
