Faculty and staff members are leading the charge to \u2018swing for the fences.\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three professors are guiding the initiative to advance research excellence in the School of Business as members of the newly established Research Advisory Council. They are Lindsay Andiola, Ph.D.,<\/a> associate professor of accounting; Paul Brooks, Ph.D.,<\/a> professor, department chair and executive director of analytics programs; and Douglas Davis, Ph.D<\/a>., professor of economics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Candice Tam<\/a>, MPA, the Business School\u2019s executive director of finance and research administration, also will join the council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLike the other faculty members, I\u2019ve devoted a substantial portion of my life\u2019s energy to doing research,\u201d Davis said. \u201cWhile personal ambition certainly plays a role, we also want to do something useful. Membership on this council is an opportunity to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Said Tam: \u201cI’m looking forward to working with the other council members to strengthen the school’s external funding track record. Together, we can rethink the applicant experience from start to finish so that our colleagues feel supported and our proposals are as competitive as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to emphasize that we\u2019re here to help,\u201d Tam said. \u201cBeing part of the council helps us accomplish that objective and further support the school’s research mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The council was established as part of the Business School\u2019s commitment to transdisciplinary research excellence under its strategic plan, Opportunity 2030, said Mayoor Mohan,<\/a> professor and associate dean for strategic affairs and research initiatives. While the council will not hold formal decision-making or oversight authority, Mohan noted, it will provide crucial input across the breadth of the school\u2019s research mission, enterprise and goals. This includes matters related to faculty research support programs, internal and external research programs, and transdisciplinary and collaborative research initiatives, Mohan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOver the last couple of years, I’ve been thinking about how to translate my behavioral research, and accounting research generally, in ways that professionals, firms and regulators can understand and benefit from,\u201d Andiola said. \u201cI believe this resonates with what we should be doing in the School of Business — the connection to community and real impact versus only academic impact. I’m a big proponent of that and believe it’s something we all should consider to move the school forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooks said he has \u201ca history of working across disciplines and participating in grant-funded research, and these are two things that historically, business school research hasn\u2019t taken advantage of. We tended to be discipline specific. So I\u2019m excited that research is being prioritized\u201d as demonstrated by the council\u2019s formation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooks added that he\u2019s especially eager to help create more awareness. \u201cOur research profile has really increased,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of good stuff happening, and I\u2019m looking forward to helping to highlight the impact of it all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davis said he wants the council to motivate and enable faculty members to pursue socially important questions. \u201cI think the real key is to encourage people to swing for the fences \u2013 to think about what they really want to know, and what they haven\u2019t thought of before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s where progress lies,\u201d he said, \u201cand as a consequence, the Business School\u2019s research reputation is elevated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The council is expected to establish goals and priorities, among other agenda items, when it convenes with Mohan in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract: <\/strong>Student sample generalizability remains a persistent concern in international business research, yet its magnitude has remained largely unquantified. We address this gap by examining culture \u00d7 student status interactions across 88 meta-analytic databases. For each database, we estimate moderation effects for 50 country-level cultural variables and summarize the resulting interaction coefficients using second-order meta-analysis. Across more than four thousand tests, the mean absolute difference between student and nonstudent effects is approximately r = .05. Relative importance analyses show that these differences are driven primarily by the substantive bivariate relationship under study rather than by the specific cultural dimension examined. Relationships involving job attitudes exhibit the strongest culture \u00d7 student status interactions, with many student\u2013nonstudent differences around \u0394r = .10, whereas relationships involving psychological traits show the weakest interactions, often below \u0394r = .03. Results converge across multiple levels of aggregation and analytic representations. Taken together, the findings demonstrate that generalizability risk is systematic and conditional rather than categorical, providing empirical benchmarks to inform theory development, research design, and editorial decision-making in international business research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accomplishments, goals affirm our mission as VCU marks Research Weeks<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
By Mayoor \u201cMax\u201d Mohan, Ph.D.
Associate Dean for Strategic Affairs and Research Initiatives<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
As VCU kicks off Research Weeks 2026<\/a>, an institution-wide celebration of the discovery, innovation and scholarship happening across the university, the School of Business is proud to share a look at where our research enterprise stands and where it\u2019s headed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Research is central to our mission and our momentum. Guided by our Opportunity 2030 Strategic Plan<\/a> and its theme of Unlimited Opportunity Creation, we are investing in scholarship and thought leadership that transcends traditional boundaries, advances new knowledge and creates opportunities for our students, partners and society at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transdisciplinary research is one of two guiding pillars of Opportunity 2030, and Research Excellence is one of the four core energies. Together, they reflect a clear commitment: Our research will help identify new opportunities for students, businesses and the community, with a focus on the intersection of business and adjacent fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our accomplishments over the past year reflect that commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strong scholarly output<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Our colleagues published 91 journal articles in calendar year 2025, with contributions from every academic department in the school. Of those, 55 appeared in journals rated A* or A by the Australian Business Deans Council<\/a>, roughly 60 percent of total output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, eight articles were published in the Financial Times Top 50<\/a> journal list. This work spanned topics from algorithmic management and AI in health care to sustainable supply chains, corporate finance, and the psychology of consumer behavior\u2014reflecting the breadth and depth of our school\u2019s research portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
External funding growth<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Strong scholarship also means pursuing the external funding that makes ambitious research possible. Although business schools are not traditionally grant-intensive environments, we are making meaningful progress in this area. In 2025, we submitted 11 grant proposals totaling more than $3.1 million, with eight awarded for nearly $1.4 million. An additional five sub-award applications brought our total applied funding to over $4.2 million. Several of these collaborations illustrate the transdisciplinary vision at the heart of our strategy, including partnerships with the American Cancer Society, the Women\u2019s Health Institute, and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality through VCU\u2019s College of Life Sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strengthened infrastructure<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Sustained research productivity requires more than individual effort; it requires robust institutional support. This year marked significant progress on that front. We launched a four-tiered internal funding program\u2014Small Research Grants, Medium Research Grants, Research Excellence Fellowships and the Dean\u2019s Distinguished Fellows\u2014creating a clear continuum of support from seed funding through sustained scholarly recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also established the school\u2019s first Research Advisory Council to provide strategic guidance on long-term research priorities and culture. And for the first time, we embedded a dedicated research communications function within our marketing and communications team, ensuring the impact of our scholarship and thought leadership reaches audiences well beyond the academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next generation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
A thriving research enterprise depends on the next generation of scholars. This year, we made significant investments in our doctoral programs by increasing stipends, renovating Ph.D. student offices, completing a comprehensive program audit and introducing dedicated conference travel funding. We also launched the Outstanding Ph.D. Student Teaching Award to recognize excellence in the classroom alongside research training. That investment starts early, too. Colleagues in the school developed and taught UNIV 191: Every Ram’s a Researcher, a course\u00a0designed to help first-year students recognize the value and opportunities of academic research. From first-year classrooms to doctoral dissertations, we are building a culture where research is part of every student’s experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking ahead<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
As we move into the next academic year, we will continue building on this foundation by expanding the Office of Research, deepening external partnerships, and growing our visibility as a school where rigorous, impactful research drives opportunity for all. Over the next four weeks, we\u2019ll be sharing a series of research-focused articles that spotlight the people, projects and ideas behind the numbers. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahead of the draft, Jason Merrick, Ph.D., models probabilities for a certain NFL team.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
By Laura Stassi <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jason Merrick, Ph.D.,<\/strong><\/a> and his colleagues initially developed a statistical modeling method as a college admissions tool, but at the request of a certain NFL team, it\u2019s been repurposed. The team \u2014 Merrick\u2019s not allowed to name names \u2014 is utilizing the model to more accurately predict whether money it spends in the draft on the most desirable amateur football players will pay off after they go pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou see all these teams that are trading multiple draft picks away to get a top draft pick,\u201d said Merrick, professor of supply chain management and analytics in the VCU School of Business. \u201cBut our model shows the risk of chasing those players.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year\u2019s draft is April 23\u201325. During seven rounds of picks, the 32 NFL teams choose players to add to their respective rosters. Teams can give away or trade their turns in the draft but typically in the first round, teams with the worst records the previous season choose first, in ascending order. That means this year in the first round, the 3-14 Las Vegas Raiders get first choice, and the Super Bowl-winning Seattle Seahawks go last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scouts for the teams already have evaluated the prospects on traits including prowess, perceived fortitude and college game-time performance. With those ratings, \u201cteam management determines an overall rating to decide which players they\u2019ll go after and which of their precious draft picks to use on them,\u201d Merrick said. The earlier a player is chosen, the higher his pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To develop the model, \u201cthe NFL team gave us 14 years of rating data on every player they scouted, not just those who were drafted or who played for this specific team,\u201d Merrick said. \u201cSo we\u2019ve got multiple predictions that we aggregate into a rating that we then chart against percent of cap for a second contract.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA player\u2019s first contract is based on draft position, so it\u2019s a prediction: how good a team thinks you\u2019ll be,\u201d Merrick said. \u201cBut your second contract is based on your market value to the team, so it\u2019s an outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Percent of cap is the portion of the team\u2019s salary budget devoted to each player. Merrick noted it is difficult to determine how good a player has been because \u201cyou\u2019d use different metrics\u201d to measure the performance of a quarterback, for example, than for a defensive lineman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo our way isn\u2019t necessarily a perfect way,” Merrick said, \u201cbut it\u2019s the least bad way of doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Merrick said his model shows that \u201cmaybe you don\u2019t go for the highest-rated player in the draft because overspending on them doesn\u2019t necessarily lead to a winning outcome. We see that the high-rated picks performed a bit better on average. But you could end up with nothing from that expensive choice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Merrick and his colleagues\u2019 model is detailed in the Wharton School research paper \u201cDecision-making with Ordinal Ratings.\u201d<\/a> It also has been presented at academic and technology conferences, Merrick said, adding that he\u2019s working on revisions for upcoming publication in a top scientific journal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Merrick has his own prediction. If the unnamed NFL team sticks with its draft strategy, \u201cit will trade down,\u201d he said, \u201crecognizing that the players rated in the middle of the pack have a very decent chance of being as good as those rated at the very top. So if I can trade down and get three picks in a later round instead of one pick in the top round, I have a better chance of a better outcome with one of the three than with that one player.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One student answered in terms of generational wealth. Another said being rich could mean more than money. Silver offered his own answer: Wealth, he said, means being able to afford your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Silver visited the school for two presentations \u2014 one open to students across VCU and another for a class \u2014 and met with the Student Managed Investment Portfolio<\/a>, or SMIP, a student-run fund. Across those sessions, he urged students to think about money before graduation, when many will begin making financial decisions on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event was organized through the VCU Financial Success Center by Virginia Credit Union<\/a>, which offers students financial education and one-on-one coaching. Silver said the appearance was part of a broader effort at Investopedia to bring conversations about money out of browsers and social feeds and into classrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCollege is the last stop where you have the opportunity to learn how to become the CFO of your own life,\u201d Silver said in an interview during his visit. \u201cNobody teaches us that when we get out of here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His visit came as financial education has gained more national attention. Thirty-five states require a personal finance course<\/a> for high school graduation, according to the Council for Economic Education<\/a>, even as financial literacy among adults remains low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Silver said he was not trying to frighten students into investing. Many young adults, he said, are entering what he called \u201cadulting, life-stage planning and management\u201d while coming from families that may view investing as risky, unpredictable or off-limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He often starts by asking students what kind of life they want and what is important to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In class, he put it this way: How much does it cost to be you now, and how much will it cost to be the person you want to be later?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The discussion turned to housing, spending, saving and the gap between what life costs and what many young adults expect to earn. Silver told students that waiting until they feel fully ready can be a mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t need $100,000,\u201d he said. \u201cYou need $10 to get started. $5 to get started.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He returned often to the same point: Students may not have much money yet, but they do have time. \u201cThe magic in the market is time,\u201d he told them. \u201cAnd what do you guys have? Plenty of it. Plenty of time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later, in his meeting with SMIP, students walked Silver through their holdings and explained how they were thinking about different sectors in the portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liam Baumgardner (B.S. \u201928<\/strong>), a finance major and sector leader in SMIP<\/a>, said Silver pushed the group to think more carefully about consumer discretionary companies and where those businesses were making their money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe knew almost all of our companies, which is very impressive, and showed broad market knowledge,\u201d said Baumgardner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baumgardner said Silver\u2019s comments were useful because they were specific. The discussion, he said, gave students a reason to revisit some of their assumptions, including how they were thinking about consumer spending and sector definitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Baumgardner, the meeting also offered a view of the kind of work he hopes to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was looking at him sitting in the front and I was like, I would love to do this one day,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019d love to have his knowledge and be able to help others like he is to us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Silver said he hopes students remember the moment financial concepts begin to click, whether that means understanding compounding or seeing themselves not just as consumers but as investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt would be fantastic to learn that at the age of 21,\u201d he said. \u201cNot 41.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
