Show and Sell:  Teaching Sales through Hands-on Selling

  • PI Cindy Rippe

  • The need for qualified salespeople is increasing in the workforce with the number of sales jobs up to 15.8 million, a jump over the past four years of 445,000 (Bureau of Labor, 2013). While there has been growth in colleges offering sales curriculum (Cummins, Peltier, Erffmeyer, & Whalen, 2013; Deeter-Schmelz & Kennedy, 2011; Dixon & Tanner, 2012), there is still unmet demand for sales jobs with sales representatives being the second hardest job to fill this year , a trend that has endured since 2006 (Manpower Survey, 2013).
Southern California Logistics and Supply Chain Survey

  • PI Edward Knab

  • This multi-year study will continue until 2025- The data will be correlated with previous years and will generate an annual report on the health of the Logistics industry in Southern California
sUAS Agricultural Aerial Application Spreading Efficiency

  • PI David Thirtyacre

    CO-I Joseph Cerreta

    CO-I Scott Burgess

  • The use of UAS in agricultural operations is increasing under the 14CFR Part 137 regulations. However, there is little data on the efficiency of using UAS to spread gradual products. This research seeks to determine efficiency through flight testing.
Supply Chain Risk Management

  • PI Aman Gupta

    CO-I Ronald Mau

  • Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) is characterized by identification and reduction of risks focused on the entire supply chain associated with three different flows namely, material, financial, and informational flow. Using event study methods, we empirically investigate the effect on a firm's equity price (financial flow) related to delays, supplier issues and other issues associated with the firm's supply chain in the Aviation and Aerospace industry.

Teaching Innovation

  • PI Aaron Glassman

    CO-I Rosalee Opengart

  • This research will examine the role of cognitive predisposition in the ability of university students to operationalize innovation. Using Regulatory Focus Theory as a lens, different university curricula from schools teaching innovation will be compared to determine if there is a specific way in which innovation could be taught to allow the most number of students to operationalize the concept of innovation. Finally, innovation as a concept will be connected to entrepreneurship and creativity and the scope of the research widened for further study.
The Effect of Using PollEverywhere Technology in Large-Lecture Classrooms
  • The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of using PollEverywhere web software on student engagement in large lecture courses.
The impact of corporate social responsibility communication on corporate reputation

  • PI Doreen McGunagle

    CO-I Dixie Button

  • The goal of this research project is to analyze the ethics of social media used by U.S. airlines. In particular, how the four major carriers, Southwest Airlines, Delta, United, and American Airlines Group, stack up against each other in terms of privacy and the ethical use of information obtained via social media sites such as Facebook.
The Rise and Fall of the Veterans' Airlines

Unmanned Aerial Systems Research, Development, Education and Training at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

  • PI Michael Hickey

  • With technological breakthroughs in miniaturized aircraft-related components, including but not limited to communications, computer systems and sensors and, state-of-the-art unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have become a reality. This fast growing industry is anticipating and responding to a myriad of societal applications that will provide either new or more cost effective solutions that previous technologies could not, or will replace activities that involved humans in flight with associated risks.
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Application to Support Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF)

  • PI Brent Terwilliger

    CO-I David Ison

    CO-I Dennis Vincenzi

    CO-I Dahai Liu

  • This continuing research project features refinement of UAS application methods to support of ARFF responses. Previously, modeling and simulation, in combination with UAS attribute performance models, was implemented to better understand challenges, limitations, and potential benefits of UAS support. However, based on the findings and recommendations of the original inquiry, the research will be expanded to include examination of operator knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs), performance rating standards, and appropriate training requirements and delivery approaches.
