Tommy & Victoria Baker School of Business

Tommy & Victoria Baker School of Business We are part of a teaching institution with a long tradition of high quality education and leadership development.

We value teaching first, but recognize that scholarship and service are its essential complements. We encourage and reward all types of scholarship, emphasizing a balance between applied and pedagogical research, with discipline-based scholarship in a supporting role. Our focus on leadership development arises from our historical roots as The Military College of South Carolina. The core undergraduate program requires that all students be members of the South Carolina Corps of Cadets, which serves as a learning laboratory for leadership. We also offer a non-military evening and summer undergraduate program, as well as an excellent graduate program, that focus on leadership development through both coursework and ancillary programs such as our Leadership Forum.

BSB’s Dr. James Bezjian is helping prepare The Citadel Boxing Team for the Military Boxing Classic this Veterans Day in New York City.

The Citadel’s fighters will take on boxers from West Point, the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Air Force Academy and VMI in the Lehman Brothers Ballroom on Wall Street.

Dr. Bezjian’s work with the team is another example of how BSB faculty contribute to the Citadel experience well beyond the classroom.

Best of luck to Dr. Bezjian and the entire team as they prepare to represent The Citadel in New York!

From design file to finished product, right here in the BSB!

Thanks to a generous donation from xTool, our Innovation Lab now has a P2S laser cutter and engraver and an AP2 air purifier. The lab has already produced engraved medallions, recognition plaques, and acrylic office signage for the school.

Thank you to MAJ Hee Yoon Kwon, Ph.D., for securing this donation, and to xTool for investing in hands-on learning for our cadets and students.

Cadets and students: come see what you can build. Contact Dr. Sharma (via [email protected]) to get started.

New research from the BSB faculty is exploring what drives patients to take a more active role in their health care.

Drs. John Dickens, Mark Rosenbaum and Sergey Ponomarov recently published “When do patients co-produce? The roles of participation resources, transaction costs, and service outcomes in health care” in Health Marketing Quarterly.

Based on a survey of 482 U.S. patients, the study examines the factors that encourage patient participation and how barriers such as time and effort can affect engagement. The research found that greater patient co-production can lead to increased satisfaction and a stronger intention to continue using a health care provider.

Have an idea that could become a great teaching case but aren’t sure where to start?

The BSB and Krause School of Leadership and Ethics are partnering with the CASE Association to present a Teaching Case Writing Hackathon, Oct. 29–30.

Designed for faculty, professionals and emerging scholars, this hands-on program will guide participants through the case-development process—from identifying a compelling protagonist dilemma to developing learning objectives, discussion questions and the foundation for an Instructor’s Manual.
