Knight-Ridder Center for Excellence in Management
 
Back to: Home

Diverse Projects and Opportunities

We are a coalition of scholars in varied disciplines and departments, advancing applied research, executive education, and service to foster excellence in management and to address real world issues facing the economies and business communities of The Americas.

Beginning with our benefactor, the Knight Ridder organization, we draw on rich ties with a growing network of business professionals as well as academic scholars of business throughout The Americas and beyond.

Our recent work has included:

  • studies of the impact of terrorism and anti-terrorism mandates on global business
  • work on the impact of globalization on Florida's workforce, industry, and environment, and
  • a role in the Winrock/John Oganowski Farmer-to-Farmer Program helping farmers in Honduras and Guatemala run their businesses and export crops.

We also provide expertise through several economic development initiatives to improve agribusiness and trade practices for various groups, including the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) and CAFTAction. Many of our professors are sought after as guest speakers overseas on issues such as trade practices, energy conservation, and emerging technologies.

International Advisory Services Group (IASG)

The center houses the International Advisory Services Group, which serves as its principal management consulting and training coordination arm. IASG helps clients achieve their business goals and also enables faculty and students to share their knowledge of the latest business principles and technologies.

The IASG also offers executive seminars on a variety of topics, such as "How to Export to the United States."
