Research Talks Series

Research Talks series is a research colloquium in which faculty members and students present their most recent works to inform their own research and disseminate discovered knowledge. Since its inception in 2012, Research Talks has been a fun, informal venue to get to hear latest research accompanied by stimulating discussions and, of course, food, in a relaxing, collegial environment. The research can be at a conceptual stage, data analysis stage, a completed manuscript before submission, a conference presentation stage, etc. to get feedback from the creative, innovative, and collegial colleagues. Discussions at the research talks often spur new research and collaboration among faculty members. The faculty members from the related disciplines are encouraged to attend for interdisciplinary interchange of ideas and collaboration.

We would like to thank all the past participants as well as the attendees. Research Talks welcome any behavioral business research topics including, but not limited to, basic or applied research, pedagogical research, innovative teaching case, primary or secondary data, behavioral data, and interdisciplinary research. If you are interested in presenting your research in the future, please contact Dr. Jae Min Jung at jmjung@cpp.edu, who has been organizing the event since its inception.
