Autorenporträt

Dr. Mitchell Neubert Dr. Neubert's interest in organizations was initially stirred by observing the ups and downs of a parent in a small family business. He completed his bachelor of science in business degree at the University of Minnesota, and, after his own experiences with a regional bank, a global manufacturing company, and a nonprofit organization, earned his Ph.D. in Business Administration at the University of Iowa, with emphases on human resources management and organizational behavior. Dr. Bruno Dyck Growing up the son of an immigrant entrepreneur, Dr. Dyck has always been interested in how organizations are managed and how they can help to make the world a better place. He studied management as an undergraduate student in Manitoba and Virginia, and earned a Ph.D. in business from the University of Alberta in 1991. As an organizational theorist, Dr. Dyck has focused his research on social and ecological thought, organizational learning and change, sustainable development and on how people's beliefs and values influence what they do.
