the CBA the 2013 CHEA Award for
Outstanding Institutional Practice in
Student Learning Outcomes. UW-L’s
College of Business Administration is the
first university or college in the state —
and only the second business school in
the nation — to receive the CHEA Award.
This prestigious award recognizes
institutions that have been exceptional in
developing and applying evidence of
student learning outcomes to improve
higher education quality and
accountability. What does this mean for
you as a CBA student? Your faculty are
involved in efforts to continuously improve
the learning opportunities in the college
curriculum to help achieve the outcomes
of the Business Program and better
prepare you for your future.
The CBA strongly encourages
this type of international
experience. There are
opportunities to study abroad
anywhere from three-weeks to a
full academic year…in English
and non-English speaking areas
of the world.

of the major remain unchanged.
These new requirements automatically

Faculty News
Professor James Murray and former
UW-L economics honors student, Nick
Herro (2011 graduate), published a joint
paper, "Dynamics of Monetary Policy
Uncertainty and the Impact on the
Macroeconomy" in Economics Bulletin in
January 2013. The work was an
extension of Nick Herro's undergraduate
research and honors thesis.
Dr. Mike Haupert used his fall 2012
sabbatical to continue his ongoing
research in sports economics. While on
sabbatical Haupert continued to compile
his baseball salary database, which now
includes more than 30,000 observations
over 130 years and covers leagues
ranging from Major League Baseball to
the Negro Leagues and women's
professional leagues. Haupert has made
numerous presentations and written
several articles on the economics of
sports, and regularly consults for the
National Baseball Hall of Fame and
various media outlets. He is currently
working on a book on the history of the
baseball labor market, which is scheduled
to be published later this year by the
University of Florida Press.
Dr. Haupert was elected to the Board of
Trustees of the Economic and Business
History Society (EBHS), and will become
its president when the society holds its
annual meeting in La Crosse in either
2015 or 2016. The EBHS, organized in
1975, encourages interdisciplinary
scholarship in the areas of business and
economic history and the application of
historical perspectives to current issues.
The membership includes historians,
CBA Newsletter
economists, business professionals, and
social scientists from around the world.
Dr. Haupert also published his second
book, Entertainment Industry: A
Reference Handbook, in the fall of 2012.
The book casts a spotlight on the
evolution of the entertainment industry
over the past century, covering everything
from vaudeville to radio and from sports
to television and movies. It provides an
overview of the industry, chronicles the
major events and personalities who
helped shape the industry, and includes a
substantial annotated bibliography to help
guide the reader with research interests in
the field of entertainment economics.
Ms. Van Anh Nguyen, one of our
undergraduate students, received an
Undergraduate Research Grant for her
project in Kona, Hawaii, on The

Indigenous Hawaiian Tourism. Her
advisor is Dr. Donna Anderson.
Also on the research side, Professor John
Nunley is working with Adam Pugh, an
undergraduate student at UW-L, on a field
experiment investigating the impact of
unemployment spells on employment
opportunities. Currently, they are in the
process of collecting data, but their goal is
to complete the project by the end of the
summer. In addition, Dr. Nunley has
begun working on the economics of preterm births. In particular, he is currently
working on a research project that
compares adult outcomes (e.g., labor
market, education, criminal participation,
etc.) between individuals who were born
pre term and full term.
This spring, Dr. Adam Hoffer published
“Sin Taxes: Size, Growth, and Creation of
the Sindustry,” (with William Shughart and

University. Following the release of the
working paper, Dr. Hoffer co-authored an
opinion piece published in U.S. News and
World Report.
Dr. Hoffer has also been very active in the
media conducting interviews for the
Atlantic, the Wisconsin Reporter, the La
Crosse Tribune, WXOW News 19, WKBT

around economic policy. Thus far, the
group has discussed the minimum wage
and the effects repugnance can have on
Spring 2013
markets (i.e. organ donation, prostitution,
and dwarf tossing). The group meets
Tuesday evenings at 6:00 pm. If you are
interested in the group, please contact Dr.

information.
Class Scheduling
Information
Dr. Donna Anderson will be teaching
ECO 402, Economics of the Public
Sector, in fall 2013. What is the
economic rationale for government?
Which functions should government
perform and which dimensions of our
lives are best left to the private sector?
For example, how should we deal with
social security, education, welfare, and
health care? How should the economy
provide for such things as national
defense, flood control, parks and
playgrounds, libraries, and highways?
Who should receive the benefits of these
goods and services-and who should pay
their costs? How do we evaluate the
costs and benefits of government policies
and programs? Public finance addresses
all of these issues and more.
Prerequisites: ECO 110 and 120.
During fall 2013, Professor John Nunley
will be teaching Eco 330 – Labor
Economics, which was the focus of Dr.
Nunley’s graduate work and dissertation.
The course examines a variety of topics
in labor economics, including labor
supply, labor demand, labor-market
equilibrium, compensating wage
differentials, discrimination, income
inequality, skill acquisition, incentive pay,
unemployment, and the economics of
labor unions. Students will learn about
theory and empirical research in this
course, as the feedback loop between the
two help us understand how the facts are
generated and how the facts alter our
view of how the labor market works.

quality of healthcare in the U.S. Through
three years of faculty capacity building,
which has been in large part supported by
our participation in the UW consortium’s
online program in health information
management and technology, the
department is fully prepared to offer this
minor program in the coming fall
semester.
The HISM minor program requires a
coursework of 19 credits for CBA majors
and 23 for non-CBA majors. (It is not
open to IS majors.) It will typically take the
students two years to complete the minor
program, but fast-tracking through the
program in less time will be possible
when resources are available to offer the
required courses more frequently in the
future.
The IS Department will open the
admission process for the first class
before the coming spring break.
Interested students who have a declared
major and a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or
6
better are welcome to apply. Detailed
information on the application procedure
will be available in a brochure that can be
downloaded from the IS website:
www.is.uwlax.edu or picked up from all
college offices, advising centers, and the
IS Department in 240 Wing. A
promotional flyer will also go out to all
bulletin boards on campus soon. Since
only limited seats are available you are
encouraged to apply early. If you need
additional information about this program,
please contact the IS office at 785-6656.
Fall Course Offerings
Two sections of IS 330 will be offered by
Dr. Dai and two sections of IS 401 will be
taught by Dr. Haried. The IS 410/510:
Information Security Management will be
offered by Dr. Wen again this fall, but will
not be offered next year. Instead, the new
IS 340 course will be available for the
HISM minor program. For the first class of
the HISM program, IS 321: Survey of
Information Technology in Healthcare, will
be offered in the fall. Unfilled seats will be
open to the IS majors and minors. Either
Dr. Wen or Dr. Yang will teach this new
course. Ten sections of IS 220 have been
scheduled to meet a high estimated
demand due to the change of
requirements in the Business
Administration minor and Sports
Management programs, and the addition
of the HISM minor program.
Summer Session Course
Offering
As a result of supply shortage in the last
two semesters, the IS Department will
again offer one section of IS 220 online
this summer to help ease the pent-up
demand. Students wishing to avoid the
fall rush of this course are encouraged to
take it in the coming summer. Mr. Annino
will be the instructor of the summer class.
International Programs
On an October 2012 trip to Taiwan, Dr.
Wen introduced the new CBA MBA
program director, Ms. Martina Skobic, to
our two partner institutions: National
Kaohsiung University of Applied Sciences
(NKUAS) and Kaohsiung First University
of Science and Technology (NKFUST).
Our delegation made promotional
presentations of the joint MBA program to
students in both universities, and also met
with interested students in informational
CBA Newsletter
sessions. On the same trip, the
delegation also made initial contact with
the Soo Chow University in Taipei,
Taiwan. An exchange relationship with
this reputable private institution was
officially established recently as the result
of this visit. Building upon this
relationship, possible faculty exchange,
study abroad, and joint MBA programs
are under discussion by the two
universities.

MANAGEMENT
DEPARTMENT
“Retirement”
by Professor Hench
Yes, perhaps once every generation or so
there comes along an educator so good,
so inspiring, so cutting-edge and so
beloved by their students that they leave
Spring 2013
an indelible arc blazing across the sky to
light the way for years to come. No,
Professor Hench is not one of those. Still,
he shall be retiring at the end of this
semester, taking up residence at the local
Holiday Inn—perhaps, “too little, too late”,
say some; “If only he had done this
sooner”! Still, he has graciously extended
the usual gift-giving season by an extra
two weeks and has agreed to accept all
major credit cards and personal checks,
so long as they are counter-signed by an
adult. This will allow all those who may
owe him money and/or homage to come
clean and settle their debts. Otherwise,
yes, one or two of us may actually miss
him and we do wish him well in his
retirement. (I know that I, for one, have
always felt especially close to him. I, too,
will sorely miss him.) So, please join me
in wishing him well
in a long and happy
retirement! And
please remember
to get your gifts in
on time!!! His
retirement depends
on it!
Special Opportunities for
Students
Global Consulting Program
Under the heading of “back by popular
demand,” Dr. Nicole Gullekson is
organizing, and Dr. Kristy McManus is
leading a group of student to Bratislava,
Slovakia, as participants in the Global
Consulting Program. In this 16-day
summer abroad program, run in
collaboration with Ohio University and the
Economics University of Bratislava,
students from different countries and
backgrounds work together on project
teams, with real companies, to research
and propose solutions to real business
problems. For more information contact
Dr. Gullekson.
Integrated CBA Core Pilot
An "integrated" core will be offered in the
fall 2013 semester in which students take
MGT 308, MKT 309 and FIN 355 in the
same cohort and work on integrated
applied projects, including a final
consulting project for a local company.
This is a great opportunity for students to
develop their professionalism and critical
thinking skills, all while taking these
required core courses. Students can
apply for the integrated set of courses in
late March and, if accepted, will be
guaranteed into the three sections for
registration. For more information please
contact Nicole Gullekson (MGT), Maggie
McDermott (MKT) or Diana Tempski
7
(FIN).
Business Sustainability Minor
The Business Sustainability Minor is
moving through the final stages of the
university’s approval process. We hope to
have it approved and available for student
registration in the coming fall semester,
but the timing will be tight. . . .so, please
stay tuned. More notices to follow. The
program will be housed in the
Management Department, but it will be
open to all CBA students.
Course and Scheduling
News
Summer School Offerings
Four courses will be offered in the first
session of summer school: MGT 308:
Organization Behavior (William Ross),
MGT 393: Production & Operations
Management (Drew Stapleton), MGT 408:
Global Responsibility of Business (Jon
Ying), and MGT 449: Administrative
Policy Determination (Kareem Shabana).
Expanded Elective Offerings for Fall 2013
The department is conducting a number
of current staff searches. In anticipation of
filling these positions, the department will
be offering a greatly expanded array of
electives in the fall: courses in
communications, Health Services
management, entrepreneurship,
sustainability, and more. A number of
these classes will be open to all majors.
At this point many of the instructors for
these classes will be listed as “staff”. But
do not let that deter you from signing up!
Fall Registration
We are putting reasonable caps on our
required management and CBA core
courses in the initial stages of student
registration, as has been our practice the
past few semesters, for enrollment
management purposes. However, we do
so with the expectation that students with
reasonable needs will be granted
overrides on a case-by-case basis. So, if
the class you need fills up before you can
register for it, please see the professor to
get on their waiting list. You might well
still get in once the full demand for all
classes becomes clearer.

Some may have noticed that Dr. Gwen
Achenreiner, Marketing Chair, has not
been here much this term. That is
because she is on sabbatical leave. Dr.
Achenreiner is developing a new course
offering in Health Care Marketing, so she
is still busy; just not here. Dr. Stephen

McDermott. Students that know they will
need MKT-309 this coming summer
should see Dr. McDermott for details.
Study Abroad
Dr. Kristy McManus is once again offering
the successful summer program in
Bratislava, Slovakia. This program,
administered by Dr. Nicole Gullekson
(MGT), through Ohio University, offers
students the opportunity to gain
international travel experience while also
gaining applied business consulting
experience. Students spend two weeks
in-country working with Slovakian
students to research, analyze, and make
recommendations on issues involving
local (Bratislavan) companies. Interested
Spring 2013
students should see either Dr. McManus
or Dr. Gullekson for more details.
Dr. Stephen Brokaw is sponsoring an
International Business Seminar (IBS) tour
opportunity to China in the summer of
2013. This trip by IBS (
www.ibstours.com) will be for two weeks
in late July into early August. The tour
will include the cities of: Beijing, Xi’an and
Shanghai. During the visits students will
meet with members of economic
development offices and business leaders
from both Chinese firms and western
companies. Time will also be devoted to
more “tourist” types of activities within the
three cities. Students with an interest are
encouraged to see Dr. Brokaw in the
Marketing Department, or Kabee Vue in
the Office of International Education.
Fall 2013
For all IB majors, MKT-445 will be offered
again this coming fall. This course,
International Marketing Strategy, will be
taught by Dr. Brokaw. In conjunction with
the new call by Madison and Washington,
this course will concentrate on
International Market Development
research, operations, and export
marketing management. The plan is to
work with firms in the 7 Rivers Region to
provide a “hands-on” international
development experience for students.
For the fall two area firms have agreed to
be center-piece firms: L.B. White and
Mainstreet Ingredients. Both of these
firms are manufacturers that already have
some degree of international sales
involvement. The goal will be to help
them grow those efforts. Interested
students should see Dr. Brokaw for more
details. This course is also open to CBA
students that are not IB majors. The
prerequisite for the course is MKT-341.

summer of 2014. This course, an elective
in the International Business major, and
open to all students that have had MKT341-International Marketing, will be
offered at the University of Kingston-onThames. Kingston, a Medieval center of
commerce and politics, is located roughly
10 miles by rail from the heart of London,
U.K. This is a four week study abroad
opportunity, in mid-summer, made
possible through a formal agreement
between UWL and Kingston which was
created in 2011-2012. For more

hosted by Kennesaw State University
where our students competed with 126
other undergraduate students from 26
universities across the country. Andy
Collins and Andy Truax (see photo below)
represented UW-L at this competition.
NCSC XV, has attracted a great deal of
interest from industry due to the caliber of
the sales candidates who have competed
in recent years, and the high caliber of the
sales curriculum and programs at these
universities.
Along with gaining sales experience and
poise, students participating in these
competitions have the opportunity to
attend multiple career fairs and
professional networking events with sales
employers. UWL students are coached by
