B-Scholars, a 'Shattered' Success & the Holiday Rush
Happy Holidays from the Cox School
of Business! Our wish for you is a year filled with student successes,
perfect matches, and happy endings.
Business Scholars Program Update
Invitations for the Business
Scholars Program (representing admission to the Cox School of Business as a
first-year student), will be mailed by the end of December, about two weeks
after early action decision letters are sent. Students who applied to SMU
in early action and who indicated business as their first academic interest
are automatically considered for the Business Scholars Program. There will
be two rounds of selection and invitation for this program, one in late
December (early admits), and one in early March (for regular applicants as
well as a second look at early admits who were not selected in December).
Information on the Business Scholars Program is available on the web at:

How did they think of that?
Do you ever wonder how
a trend begins? SMU Cox alumnus Kevin Hall (BBA 73) can provide an
interesting insight on one current trend – the window decals that make it
look like a baseball, golf ball, or hockey puck has shattered the window.
You’ve seen these stickers on many SUVs around town; now you can read
Kevin’s story as the inventor and founder of Shatter Sports TM online at
www.cox.smu.edu/aboutcox/pressroom/success.
Faculty Research
Registers are ringing
nationwide, lighting up the eyes (and enlivening the research) of our
faculty, whose recent publications include:
How Consumers
Choose a Store
Advertising Children's Products
A Consumer's Purchasing Policy and Store Choice: What is Optimal?
The Subtle Side of Marketing
Trying to justify
purchasing that Monet as a gift? Be sure to look at the value of art as an
investment product in When the Worlds of Art and Finance Collide.
Curious what comes after e-bay? Surf to The Next Leap Forward in Online
Marketplaces. Research of relevance to all of us includes:
The Virtuous
Organization: The Value of Happiness in the Workplace
How Should Professionals be Paid
Power Dynamics Make the World Spin Round
Finally, when the
hustle and bustle of the holiday season pushes us to the end of our ropes,
when it seems the day is full of “just one quick question” after another, we
can turn to new research on Fermentation in the China Beer Industry.
All of these publications and more are available on the SMU Cox web page at
