Advising isn't quite clear on the website, however, Utep has resources available to us, so I’m sure can find out when advising is being done. I mean how hard can it be...right?
Now that I’ve done my initial research for my semester topic. Now it’t time to locate scholars that I’ll have the privilege of interviewing. I went through the list of possible interviewees and chose 3 scholars that I’m interested in interviewing. I was able to locate their bio’s and contact information, so let the interview commence!
I choose Dr. John Hadjimarcou because his main research interests are in international marketing strategy and cross-cultural consumer behavior. He has also received multiple awards for his research. I was also in one of his classes last semester, and I know once I gave him information as to the research I’ll be doing for this class he'd give me time to interview him.
I choose Dr. Gary Frankwick because his research and teaching interests include marketing strategy, sales, business-to-business marketing, International business, and new product development. With a background in Marketing and Management, I feel that he has some knowledge to provide if willing on the outlook of people in business’s perception of minorities in business.
I choose Dr. Somanath Mukhopadhyay because he’s an accomplished minority in the business field. He also has extensive knowledge that could be useful for the research that I am doing. So hopefully he would be will to have an interview with me.
