The Hightower Seminars are supported by the Robert Edgar Hightower Lectureship Endowment Fund, memorializing the late Robert Edgar Hightower, Sr., one of the founders of Thomaston Mills. The lectureship fund was established in 1969 to bring distinguished professors from other institutions to Emory, principally in the field of Business Management, so outstanding visiting lecturers will share their knowledge and expertise with faculty, students, and the public.
Organization & Management Faculty
Organizations are the engines of technological and social innovation, the foundations of individuals' careers, and therefore the bases of social advance and diversity. The academic study of organizations is a multi-disciplinary endeavor that draws from various social science disciplines including economics, political science, psychology, and sociology. Organizational scholars utilize an array of quantitative and qualitative research methods to develop important insights about the antecedents and consequences of organizational behavior.
The Organization & Management faculty at Goizueta embody this diversity of disciplines and approaches and collectively have an active program of research and publication in leading management journals, as well as those in the corresponding social science disciplines. Members of our faculty play visible roles on the editorial boards of leading academic journals including the Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Administrative Science Quarterly, Journal of International Business Studies, Organization Science, Strategic Management Journal, and Strategic Organization.
