RESEARCH INTEREST:
Conduct research in the areas of Project Management, especially on the stochastic side, Scheduling, and Inventory Control (many of the problems in these two areas of Operations Management have been combined to form Supply Chain Management), along with their applications in other functional areas of business and engineering. The research is basic and applied oriented, and it appeared in the premier journals. For details please see the list of publications, working papers, and professional presentations starting on the next page.
TEACHING INTEREST:
Teach graduate and undergraduate courses in Production and Operations Management, Management Science, Project Management, Production Planning and Scheduling, and Supply Chain Management,. Supervise graduate and undergraduate students in their research. Chaired ten Master Theses Committees, served on over 20 Master Theses Committees, and on 19 Ph.D. Committees, (Ph.D.s are all in other departments within UCR since SoBA/AGSM does not have a Ph.D. program yet, and the master’s thesis requirement has been made optional at AGSM over 15 years ago). Supervised over 50 independent studies and internships. Revised or initiated over 38 courses in the MBA and undergraduate Business Administration programs.
ADMINISTRATIVE & BUSINESS EXPERIENCES:
(Please see the SERVICES Section later in this resume). My administrative experiences are extensive and cover the wide range of higher education managerial and academic issues. In my services as Academic Associate Dean, Chair of Departments, Chair of Business Administration Program, Chair of AGSM faculty, Manager of the AACSB Accreditation project, Director of an UC Education Abroad Program Center, services on key Academic Senate in UCR and School committees such as Graduate Council, Committee on Educational Policy, MBA Committee, and UC Assembly along with one year as a Fulbright Scholar, and four years of business and industrial employment I dealt with most of the higher education academic and administrative issues. They include:
- Strategic planning for the school and campus
- Operational planning and budgeting for the school,
- Accreditation by AACSB,
- Building planning and facility management,
- Faculty recruitment, merits, promotions, and tenure,
- Faculty orientation, mentoring and retention,
- Staff recruitment, training, mentoring and evaluation,
- Development of new programs, evaluation and revision of existing programs,
- Develop new courses and revise many others,
- Students recruitment, orientation programs, admission criteria and procedures,

- Work and coordinate with the chairs of various departments in UCR, sometimes in more than one college/school on matters of interdisciplinary programs with business administration.
- Assist the dean and the assistant/associate dean for External Affairs on the issues of the advisory council, and community programs and outreach,
- Work in teams on various projects such as school website design, business incubators, evaluation of deans and top administrators,
- International education, and degree and course articulation.
