Dean’s Message

I’m pleased to introduce the new Goodman Research brochure. This publication will share some of the 2022 research highlights from the Goodman School of Business.

You will gain insight into our 2022 Research Award winners and learn why they care so much about their craft; profile our four Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) grant recipients; learn more about the projects our Departmental Research Award Winners are working on and see the valuable contributions being made by our faculty members publishing in FT 50 journals.

Building on the Liquor Control Board of Ontario’s (LCBO) Spirit of Inclusion initiative, the LCBO partnered with Goodman to have our scholars examine ways to increase and foster diversity in this field. This issue will share insight into the work the LCBO-Hennessy Cognac Spirit of Inclusion Research Scholar is doing to increase the number of diverse voices working in the beverage alcohol industry.

In the past two years, my Goodman colleagues published 315 journal articles, with 17 being published in FT-50 journals and I’m proud of our collective accomplishment in terms of both the quality and quantity of contributions we have made in advancing our field of studies.

In 2022, we also celebrated Goodman researcher Princely Ifinedo, Professor of Information Systems, for joining the world’s top two per cent of scientists with the most citations included on Stanford University’s global index.

Goodman faculty are helping to raise the profile of the School at home and abroad through sharing their research and expertise with the media. In 2022, Goodman scholar’s media interviews received mention in notable publications including The Wall Street Journal, BNN Bloomberg, CBC and the Globe and Mail to name a few. Associate Professor of Operations Research Michael Armstrong led our media coverage with popular pieces published in The Conversation and 91 media hits.

When research is worth doing, it’s worth sharing and we are proud to present this piece to you as evidence of that.
