DESTINED FOR GLOBAL SUCCESS When Abdullah Oguz’s scooter battery failed on campus, his fellow UNC Greensboro graduate students pushed him to where he needed to go. The Turkey native values such teamwork, in-person and online. He is a doctoral student researching social behavior and business performance in the global virtual workplace. The future professor seeks ways to discourage and prevent cyberbullying, which enhances the ability of global virtual teams to work together to reach their final destination.
