In August, professor Martin,
along with Marketing Doctoral student Shazad Mohammed, and
associate Dean Perry, led a group of 36 students to greece.
Included were the first group of WBBA students, who combined
the trip with their regularly scheduled class with professor
Martin. Landing in Athens at the new airport built to accommodate
visitors for the 2004 Olympics, the group proceeded to their
hotel near the Plaka, the site of many ancient ruins located
at the foot of the famous Acropolis and the Parthenon, which
could be viewed from the top of the hotel. Over the next ten
days the students visited the Parthenon, the ancient ruins
of Mycenae (where, allegedly, king Agamemnon of Trojan war
fame, ruled) the great theater at Epidaurus, and some of the
Greek isles, including Poros. Some used their free day to
travel to Mykonos and Santorini.
For
the first time, MAN 4633 was taught overseas and the venture
was successful. Dean Perry, who spent many years in seniors
positions at Kodak, gave a guest lecture to the class on strategic
management. He also accompanies one of the three special topics
groups to visit a greek business. This particular company
is an outfitter of cruise ships and hotels. The group toured
the factory and conducted an interview with the owner. At
the end of the trip, Dean Perry offered his praise for a job
well done.
