Drucker School of Management Announces the Promotion of Craig Pearce to Tenured Full Professor of Management
Claremont, CA, August 22, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito School of Management is proud to announce the promotion of Craig L. Pearce to Tenured Full Professor of Management.
Professor Pearce has pioneered the development of shared leadership scholarship and practice. He has won several awards for his research, including the 2004 Ascendant Scholar Award from the Western Academy of Management and an award from the Center for Creative Leadership for his research on shared leadership. His research has appeared in top journals, including Strategic Management Journal, Journal of Management, Journal of Organizational Behavior, Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology, Group Dynamics: Theory, Research, and Practice, and Organizational Dynamics, and has been funded by agencies such as the U.S. Department of Education. He serves on the editorial boards of Leadership Quarterly, Human Resource Management Review and Leadership Review, and on the board of directors of Small Potatoes, Inc., an agricultural bio-tech company.
Professor Pearce joined the Drucker faculty in 2000 where he teaches Leadership, Teamwork and Organizational Behavior courses. He is widely cited, has spawned countless doctoral dissertations across the globe, and has received widespread acclaim in the practitioner community – including a feature article in the Wall Street Journal.
He co-edited a book entitled "Shared Leadership: Reframing the Hows and Whys of Leadership" together with Jay A. Conger, and his forthcoming book, “Share the Lead”, is soon to be published by Stanford University Press.
About the Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management
Named after Professor Peter Drucker in 1974, the Drucker School was established to satisfy the niche of part time executive management education. Today, the school shares its name with one of the world’s most respected entrepreneurs, Masatoshi Ito, combining a thinker (Peter Drucker, the founder of modern management) with a doer (Masatoshi Ito, who built the largest retail network in Japan), and reflecting a decidedly global orientation. Drucker has some 4,400 alumni around the globe, many of whom are leaders in business, government, and the nonprofit sector.
The school is known for its innovative programs, which in addition to the Masters in Arts Management (AM), includes the traditional Master of Business Administration (MBA), the Executive Management Program (EMBA), a Master of Science in Financial Engineering (MSFE), a Master in Politics, and Business and Economics (MAPEB), as well as a variety of certificate programs and customized corporate executive education offerings. The Drucker School’s programs and degrees are unique in their focus on management as a liberal art, rather than specific concentrations on core business functions such as accounting, finance, or marketing. At Drucker, students are challenged to do good and do well, and the curriculum reflects a value-based approached to management education. Along with its sister institution, The Drucker Institute, the Drucker School is committed to advancing effective management, ethical leadership and social responsibility in organizations in all sectors of society, locally, nationally and globally. This year marks the 100th anniversary of Peter Drucker’s birth, which is being celebrated with major Drucker Centennial events around the world.
