In comparison, the School of Management ranked 25th in 2005 and 16th in 2006, based on the UTD Top 100 Business School Research Rankings™ that track contributions to top 24 journals.

Textbooks and Research Books

Textbooks authored by our leading faculty are being used and studied around the world. Prof. Greg Dess' Strategic Management (coauthored with Lumpkin and Eisner, now in its 4th edition) is widely used throughout the world, with translations in Chinese, Portuguese, and Serbian as well as a Canadian adaptation and a UK/European adaptation.

Prof. Mike Peng's Global Strategy (now launching its 2nd edition) is used in over 20 countries, and has been translated into Chinese and Portuguese. Building on the success of Global Strategy, Prof. Peng has most recently published Global Business, and is working on a paperback Global Business Express.

Our faculty are also active in publishing research books. In 2006, Prof. Richard Harrison coauthored (with G. Caroll) Culture and Demography in Organizations. In 2003, Prof. John Lin coauthored (with K. Carley) Designing Stress Resistant Organizations.

In 2008, in international business, UT Dallas was ranked as the 12th highest ranked school worldwide (and the 6th highest ranked in the United States—behind Michigan State, Rutgers, Temple, Miami, and NYU) in a study by Xu et al. in the Asia Pacific Journal of Management.

Our faculty are active in leadership positions in our profession. At the Strategic Management Society (SMS), three UTD professors currently serve as officers—M. Peng is Chair of the Global Strategy Interest Group, D. Deeds is Program Chair of the Entrepreneurship Interest Group, and G.

Our faculty are not only acknowledged and respected externally, they are also highly valued at UTD (and also at the UT System). G. Dess holds the Andrew Cecil Chair in Management. M. Peng has been designated the Provost's Distinguished Professor of Global Strategy, a position specifically created by UTD in order to attract him to join our faculty. He serves as the Executive Director of our Center for Global Business. J. Picken and D. Deeds serve as the Executive Director and Academic Director, respectively, for the Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at UTD. In addition, at the UT System, M. Peng, as the UTD representative, serves as a member of the UT System Globalization Task Force and participates in initiatives that will enhance the UT System-wide "footprint" in the world.
