Operations Research

I collaborated with Dr. Don Pope, department chair of Management Sciences, to develop a case study to evaluate the technology introduction strategy of a local distributorship.  This was a study based on a real organization using challenges and considerations derived from interviews with the owner of the company.

This research resulted in a conference presentation at the Society for Case Study Research (SFCRJCS) in 2011, and a subsequent acceptance and publication in 2012 in the Journal of Case Studies.

The following titles and links represent the complete work developed for the conference and the components submitted for final acceptance.
