Student interest in pursuing academic research is a reliable indicator of the teaching quality at a business school. SJIM’s Center for Business Research encourages students to solicit guidance and collaboration with the faculty at the Center. Acknowledging that engaging in academic research is an exploratory endeavor for our students at the Masters’ level, we give students the latitude to decide outlets for their research. Thus, the rigor of research at the student level is deliberately less compared to the higher standards of the Center itself.
