NEW FACULTY CONSORTIUM CHAIR AND FACILITATORS TOPIC, AND BIOGRAPHY
Chair: S. Tamer Cavusgil, Georgia State University
“Unlocking the puzzle of ‘success’ in an academic career: How to be impactful, happy, and remain excited about your future?”
There is no one single prescription for achieving success in an academic career. Each of us needs to formulate what we seek from our career and balance it with other important pursuits. Yet, it may be helpful to learn about careers of others, and find out how they sought success and happiness in their own experiences. I will offer some of my experiences and recommendations for building rewarding careers in academia.
Tamer’s career includes teaching, research, and administrative positions at Georgia State University (current), Michigan State, Bradley, University of Wisconsin, and METU. In addition, he serves as a visiting professor at Leeds University Business School and the University of South Australia Business School. Tamer is a recipient of an honorary doctorate from Universiteit Hasselt, Belgium. Previously, he held the Gianni and Joan Montezemolo Visiting Chair at the University of Cambridge, the U.K., where he is also an Honorary Fellow of Sidney Sussex College.
Tamer continues his research interests in the internationalization of the firm, global strategy, emerging markets, and buyer-seller relationships in cross-border business. Most recently, he has been researching the evolution of middle-class in rapidly transforming economies.
Tamer has authored more than two dozen books and some 200 refereed journal articles. Nevertheless, he considers his biggest academic accomplishment to be the mentoring over 35 doctoral graduates, and numerous other students. Tamer is the founding editor of the Journal of International Marketing and Advances in International Marketing.
While leading the CIBER at Michigan State University, Tamer spearheaded the development of now leading international business knowledge portal, globalEDGE.
