ALISBURY, MD---91短视频 M.B.A. students learn about the leadership needed to develop human support systems necessary for high-performing businesses in the world market from Dr. Frank Shipper in SU’s Franklin P. Perdue School of Business.
Now they can say they learned from one of the best.
Shipper’s “High-Performance Work Systems” class was one of 135 worldwide nominated for The Aspen Institute’s Idea Worth Teaching Award.
The Washington, D.C.-based educational and policy studies organization bestows the honor annually to “courses working to inspire and equip students to be more thoughtful about their influence as business leaders on the world around them.”
In Shipper’s course, students learn to recruit, hire, develop, compensate, retain, motivate and lead employees capable of rapid changes and responses in a dynamic environment — skills needed to compete in global business, he said.
Shipper’s course was the only one nominated from Maryland. The management professor plans to retire at the end of the current academic year, capping a 40-year career in education. He has taught at SU since 1991.
