Dear Colleagues:
Welcome to Regent University and to Virginia Beach.
Thank you for joining us for the Christian Business Faculty Association’s thirty-fifth annual conference. Regent University is pleased to host the 2015 conference and each one of you. We look forward to a mutually stimulating, challenging and refreshing time as we discuss “Business Excellence in a Changing Global
Environment” and as we clearly define business excellence amidst the rapidly changing global environment in which Christian faculty, students and business leaders lead and serve.
In collaboration with the CBFA Board of Directors, our vision for the 2015 CBFA conference is to equip business faculty and students for this challenging global business environment from a Christ-centered perspective. We trust that every aspect of the conference will reflect this vision and that you will return to your respective areas of influence energized in your pursuit of Christ-centered business excellence.
May your time at the conference and our beautiful university campus be memorable and transformative.
Sincerely,
Gerson Moreno-Riano, Ph.D.
Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs
Dean, College of Arts & Sciences

History of the University
Dr. M. G. “Pat” Robertson, founder and president of the Christian Broadcasting
Network (CBN), had an inspired vision of establishing a graduate-level institution that would train mature men and women for the challenge of representing Christ in their professions. In 1977, that vision materialized when CBN University was incorporated as a nonprofit educational institution in Virginia Beach, Virginia. In the fall of 1978, 77 students began classes in modest, rented facilities.
By October 1989, CBN University had grown from a School of Communication and the Arts to seven professional schools with nearly 800 students. On January 1, 1990, in recognition of this growth, the Board of Trustees voted to change the name of
CBN University to Regent University. A “regent” is one who represents a king in his absence. For us at Regent University, a regent is one who represents Christ, our
Sovereign, in whatever sphere of life he or she may be called to serve Him.
The university has grown to 8,000 students earning associates degrees, bachelor’s degrees, master’s degrees, and doctoral degrees at our Virginia Beach Campus or online via the worldwide web.
Mission and Vision
Regent’s mission is to serve as a leading center of Christian thought and action providing an excellent education from a biblical perspective and global context in pivotal professions to equip Christian leaders to change the world. Regent’s vision is to be the most influential Christian transformational university in the world.
Accomplishments
Regent is nationally recognized as a “Top 15 Best University” by
U.S. News &
World Report , 2015, for its online bachelor’s program. Regent University School of
Law’s faculty were recognized among the “Top 10 faculty in the nation” by The
Princeton Review, 2013 and 2014. Regent is recognized as a “Best National
University” by
U.S. News & World Report , 2015.
Regent University is one of the nation's leading academic centers for Christian thought and action; having received a coveted "A" rating from the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) for its general education curriculum. Regent
University was the first university in Virginia and one of fewer than two dozen nationwide to receive an "A" rating from this prestigious organization.

Dear CBFA Colleagues,
On behalf of the CBFA Board of Directors, it is my very great pleasure to welcome you to the 2015 conference of the Christian Business Faculty Association!
We are happy to be returning to the campus of Regent University for this year’s
CBFA conference hosted for the first time by the College of Arts and Sciences which houses the traditional undergraduate programs in business, leadership and management. We look forward to once again enjoying inspiring speakers, stimulating scholarship and warm fellowship in a truly beautiful and historic setting.
Whether you are a seasoned CBFA member or a first time attendee, you will find resources here that will help you navigate with excellence the turbulent waters of change that we all face all as Christian educators and scholars.
This is also a time of change for the CBFA. Thirty-five years ago a small group of business faculty met to begin the endeavor that would eventually become the
Christian Business Faculty Association. Many of those who began the work have now retired and just this year one of our beloved founders, Dr. Richard Chewning, went to be with the Lord. The torch is passing to a new generation of CBFA leaders.
They bring with them new ideas, new technologies and new opportunities. They are expanding our scope to include business faculty in information technology, health care, sport management and beyond. We are excited to see what the future holds!
But always our commitment remains the same: to assist and encourage Christian business faculty in the study, integration, teaching, and application of Biblical truths in service to the academy, students, and the business community. I am reminded of the challenge in Psalm 78, “ tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the
Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done… that they should set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments .”
May God bless and enrich our time together.
Yours in Christ,
Mary Ann Meiners, Chair
CBFA Board of Directors

The first gathering of Christian business faculty occurred in April, 1980. At that time leaders of the American Studies Program and the Council for Christian Colleges and
Universities (then known as the Christian College Coalition) organized a meeting of
12 to 15 business professors from member schools at their headquarters in
Washington, D.C. The following year a group of over 40 again convened in
Washington, D.C. for sharing and stimulation from outside speakers arranged by the
CCCU. Regional conferences occurred at several member schools in 1982 and 1983.
In 1984 over 70 faculty took part in a national conference on business ethics at
Seattle Pacific University sponsored by the CCCU with a grant from the Murdock
Foundation. This landmark meeting solidified contacts and friendships along with interest in ongoing meetings. In 1987, a steering committee with regional representatives was established to provide better organization and expand services to the membership, including the launching of a regular newsletter.
Membership now totals over 400 Christian business faculty who teach on the college and university level, and is open to faculty from any educational institution (whether
Christian, faith-based, public, or proprietary) who are personally concerned with the integration of Biblical truths with business.

Dark Leadership in the Ranks: How the U.S. Armed Forces Can Address
Narcissism and Toxic Leadership
Boisselle, David, Veterans Coaching Network
McDonnell, Jeanne, Regent University
The armed forces have always reflected the greater society in the United States and so in the age of the “selfie” photo image many military leaders also exhibit such narcissistic behavior. All too often, narcissistic behaviors can manifest themselves in toxic or “dark” leadership. The “nexus” of toxic leadership and narcissism results in lower unit morale and esprit de corps, not to mention unit effectiveness, ruined careers and even lives. This paper and presentation documents the growing research into these threats to good organizational leadership in the Army and the Navy (the largest of the services) as well as ongoing efforts to address them. Our work extends the research of Lasch, Maccoby, McIntosh & Rima, Reed, and others who study narcissism and toxic leadership into a military leadership context. We call for a comprehensive approach to mitigating and hopefully eliminating dark leadership in the ranks by proposing ten strategies for the armed forces to adopt.
More Blessed to Give than to Receive: A Theologically-Informed Model of
Lifetime Giving
Brister, Jozell, Abilene Christian University
Litton, Jim, Abilene Christian University
Lynn, Monty L., Abilene Christian University
Tippens, Kyle T., Abilene Christian University
Despite its importance in Christian thought and practice, research from theology and the social sciences surprisingly has not been brought together to better understand and inform lifetime giving. After reviewing biblical and theological scholarship, we integrate concepts and tools from personal financial planning and social science to assemble a formative model of lifetime giving. Included in the model are contextual influences in giving, four giving theologies, and supports for giving.

Servant Leadership: Facilitating a Culture of Giving through Core Values
Lee, Pamela Chandler, Saint Leo University
Jackson, Shannon O., Saint Leo University
Servant leadership is becoming acknowledged as an appropriate and effective leadership style for 21 st
century organizations. However, because the theory initially manifests itself in the heart of the leader, scholars have questioned whether and the extent to which servant leadership philosophies extend beyond the leader and permeate the culture of the organization. Thus, supported by Grant’s (2013) concept of giving in the workplace, this paper discusses the significance of establishing and implementing organizational core values for creating a foundation through which servant leaders can inculcate a culture of giving and serving that supports the success of the individual, the organization, and the community.

Integrated Marketing Communication and Communitarian Marketing as a
Biblically-based Ethical Model for Marketing to Community
Murphy-Gerber, Denise, Geneva College
Contemporary target marketing activities are created through a process of segmentation and then selecting certain segments to target an organization’s marketing messages. These segments are selected through a process that tries to determine the purchasing behavior each of us consumers in a way where the marketer can group consumers based on likenesses that we have with each other.
There is no longer a sense of community, nor are there purchase decisions made that are community-based. God created us as social creatures that live in community with each other, and he described in detail throughout the Bible and through the teachings of the embodied Christ how we should care for and love each other.
Non-Market Strategy, Cronyism, and the Christian Worldview:
Implications for Practice and Pedagogy
Parnell, John A., University of North Carolina at Pembroke
Dent, Eric, Fayetteville State University
Holbrook, Robert L., Ohio University
Holt, Kenneth M., Austin Peay State University
Non-market strategy refers to any part of a firm’s strategy that seeks to generate superior performance through means not directly associated with market activity, such as lobbying legislators, colluding with rivals to erect industry entry barriers, and pursuing direct business-government partnerships. It is commonly referred to as cronyism. The purpose of this session is to increase awareness of NMS, to consider
NMS within the Christian Worldview, provide practical application of NMS, and to encourage and equip the CBFA Faculty to address NMS with their students.

Ethical Sensitivity in Practicing Accountants: Religiosity and Workplace
Spirituality
Sauerwein, Josh, George Fox University
A broad range of ethical decisions cross the desk of practicing accountants. Rest et. al. (1994) theorized that the ability to see these dilemmas, ethical sensitivity, is influenced by personal factors such as religion. Despite their intuitive appeal, the relationship between ethical sensitivity and religiosity/spirituality has been underresearched in accounting. Using Rest’s theory, this study reasoned that accountants who possessed high levels of extrinsic religiosity, those who use religion for social ends, would also have lower ethical sensitivity.

The Lost Virtues of Adam Smith: Rediscovering the Importance of Holistic
Business Education
Sikkema, Seth E., George Fox University
Peach, Nathanael D., George Fox University
Sauerwein, Joshua, George Fox University
This paper explores ways in which contemporary business education has misconstrued Adam Smith’s views on virtues. By fixating on self-interested behavior, a distorted version of what constitutes ethical behavior in the market place has come to dominate business pedagogy. In turn, market behavior ends up mirroring the distorted way it is presented in the classroom. The authors also discuss approaches they have taken to teach business concepts in light of more holistic conception of virtues.
Is There Room for Moral Conscience in Business?
Smartt, David, Lee University
In light of rapidly evolving moral norms, finding room for moral conscience in business can be challenging. In this context, business professionals must grasp the importance of moral integrity while avoiding the dangers of moral disengagement; evaluate the implications of moral conscience to civil rights and product or service decisions to avoid discrimination; and seek ways to resolve moral conscience conflicts by reflecting on current models of accommodation across society.
Additionally, key Biblical principles emerge that inform the person of faith as they negotiate conflicts of moral conscience in the business arena.

Redefining the Value of Higher Education: A Pluralistic Approach to Assessing the Value of Faith-Based Institutions
Brown, Kevin, Asbury University
Today, there is an emerging expectation across the nation for institutions of higher education to prove their worth in the sense of a student’s return on their investment
(i.e., their tuition dollars). This article presents several points of skepticism, and moreover, ends with the suggestion that we utilize a pluralistic form of valuation where higher education is appreciated for both its instrumental and intrinsic characteristics.

Six Dimensional Leadership: Practices to Help Leaders Develop Efficiency and
Cohesion Among Sports Management Professionals
Garrett, Ed, Belhaven University
Research has discovered that effective leadership styles are determined by the situation that the team encounters. Within each situation much of leadership is then dependent on the makeup of the team and the leadership within. The challenge then becomes finding the magnet that draws each member in and bonds them with the rest of the team. Business and sports management instructors alike will benefit from this workshop by applying these six dimensions in a way that can aid in cultivating future leaders.

Geographic Competition between Public and Private Schools
McMullen, Steve, Hope College
Kish, Kaylee, Hope College
The wide diversity of charter school models and laws across the nation provides a much wider array of enrollment opportunities for families. The competitive relationships between charter, public, and private schools are not well understood.
While case studies suggest trade-offs between Catholic and Charter school enrollment, there is no high quality national study of these enrollment dynamics. We use GIS location data on public, charter and private schools nationwide to explore the impact of growth of charter schools on the enrollment patterns among existing competitors. The results provide useful information on competition across school finance and school mission models.

How Big: A Plan or Accident?
Migliore, Henry, UCT/NSU
Bratschun, Neal, FAITH-WALK Consulting
How should the church/ministry grow and expand? The central question is whether to grow wildly or control growth. Another question has to do with size of the church/ministry in the long run. Or maybe it’s time to retrench. When you grow at will you are reacting to opportunity. Should the church ministry grow and expand?
While the answer to that question may seem obvious, it is not as clear as it might seem. While we suggest that the church should grow, growth does not always mean expansion. In addition to getting larger, growth may mean getting smaller, better, or simply changing into something different. To make the choice as to how to grow and how much, it is necessary to understand why churches/ministries should grow in the first place. Still, to enrich answering the question, literature review is consulted to guide the search.
Common Sense Management Principles
Migliore, Henry, UCT/NSU
Bratschun, Neal, FAITH-WALK Consulting
Management, planning, and organization is not that complicated. It boils down to common sense. According to the Bible, we are to do our work heartily as unto the
Lord. Unfortunately, we often neglect this command. The Bible never gives us suggestions. What we are instructed to do are, indeed, commands, and we are commanded to perform the duties of work in such a way that we see God as our boss rather than the person to whom we report. We are to be doers of the Word, and the
Word clearly states how we are to conduct ourselves in our work lives. This is revolutionary, even for the twenty-first century.
