As a business college within a top-tier research institution, the College of Business at Washington State University plays a vital role in the global business community. Research and discovery within business disciplines fuels the commercialization of innovation in every area of commerce. Business research fosters academic and economic advances that improve the function of organizations around the globe. It benefits students by bringing cutting-edge theory and practice into the classroom. It opens the door to a career in academics for our graduate students. In sum, it is an invaluable component of our institution.

The centrality of research to our mission is clear, and it is important that we define and measure our research success. Fortunately, all indicators suggest we are making progress. For example, one measure of an institution’s success is the quality of journals that publish articles written by its faculty. In the past five years, faculty in the College of Business at WSU have increased the number of articles they publish in top journals by over 50 percent. Our faculty are working hard to increase the quality and quantity of their research activities.
