TURNER COLLEGE SPOTLIGHT

American Journal of Entrepreneurship

CSU’s Turner College of Business is home to the editorial offices of a number of academic journals.  One of these is the American Journal of Entrepreneurship, whose founding editor is Kirk Heriot, professor of management and holder of the Ray and Evelyn Crowley Chair.  The AJE launched about 15 years ago, and its mission is to increase knowledge of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs in the many ways they manifest themselves in the global economy.  About 25 percent of manuscripts that are submitted to the AJE are eventually accepted for publication.  In addition to Heriot, the Editorial Board includes Scott Manley of Midwestern State University, David Mitchell of the University of Central Arkansas, and Alicia Plemmons of Southern Illinois University – Edwardsville.  Recently, the AJE has added a managing editor role.  That position is held by Michael Brizek of Lander University.  Currently, the most cited paper in the AJE is titled “Economic Freedom, Entrepreneurship, and Income Levels: Some U.S. State-Level Empirics.”  This study, authored by Travis Wiseman and Andrew Young of West Virginia University, examine whether productive (unproductive) entrepreneurial activity is associated with higher (lower) levels or growth rates of income.  Additionally, it aims to “connect the dots” by asking whether higher institutional quality (i.e., greater economic freedom) affects income primarily through its effects on entrepreneurial activity.  Published in 2013, this study has been cited 74 times according to Google Scholar.

Jung Exploring Influence of Confucianism on Luxury Brand Performance in China, Japan and South Korea

In a recent chat with Turner Business , Turner College professor of marketing Sungwoo Jung made the point that luxury brands are gaining the degree of influence in many developing countries that they enjoy now in developed countries.  He has been pondering this issue as part of his international marketing research program, which typically focuses on advertising, pioneering advantages and multi-cultural analysis.  Currently, Jung is concentrating his energies on a cross-cultural analysis of brand equity that highlights luxury brands’ performance.  His research finds that China, Japan and South Korea have each seen an increase in market share for luxury brands in recent years.  As Jung explained to Turner Business , “These three countries share a common philosophical background – Confucianism.”  With that point in mind, Jung and his coauthors are currently engaged in an investigation of how Confucianism influences consumer behavior in these three Asian countries, and how that behavior im
