I believe teaching is a wonderful profession that also imposes an important responsibility on the teacher to help students develop mental models to effectively prepare them for the future. I try hard to make time spent in class by my students both instructive and enjoyable.  

I have taught courses at a variety of course in the Undergraduate, MBA and PhD programs.  I have had the pleasure of having my undergraduate students call me and tell me about how the course prepared them for challenging assignments in their jobs.  I have also had the wonderful experience of seeing my MBA students make insightful final presentations to panels of industry managers and be highly appreciated for their perspectives on issues related to electronic commerce.  

I have had the privilege of working with doctoral students who have taken my doctoral seminar and I see them more as junior colleagues rather than students. I am glad to have played a role in helping some of them realize their own potential and we have had some early successes in collaborative research. 

I have included the links to course syllabi that are available online.

If you have comments on the coverage of these courses or suggestions for material for inclusion in future offerings of my courses, I would love to hear from you. Click here to send me mail.
