Strong research challenges expectations while hinting at exciting new possibili- ties. The articles presented here from faculty and Ph.D. candidates in the Michael J. Coles College of Business not only enhance our current understanding of busi- ness practices and theory, but also provide a possible glimpse into the future. In this 8th edition of The Coles Research Magazine, you will find four papers published in Financial Times Top 50 journals, research that earned its authors Coles College Outstanding Journal Publication and Community Engagement awards, the winners of the Coles Working Paper Series awards, papers presented at the Coles Research Symposium on Homeland Security, and the work of three summer research fellows. In addition to faculty research, the issue includes two Ph.D. candidate executive summaries. Highlighting the exceptional work of the College’s faculty and students is not the only goal of The Coles Research Magazine. Equally as important is presenting the research so that it is relatable and – more importantly – actionable to real mem- bers of the business community. Each article includes an easy-to-understand executive summary along with a listing of each paper’s key takeaways. I invite you to explore the latest edition of The Coles College Research Magazine and discover the cutting-edge research today that will define how you conduct business tomorrow.
