Turner College professor of management Johnny Ho has been nominated by the Turner College's Awards & Scholarships Committee for the 2024 CSU Faculty Research and Scholarship Award. This award recognizes outstanding efforts by faculty members in research and scholarship. The award is meant to celebrate the value of these activities, particularly for their role in contributing to the faculty's intellectual growth. It implicitly recognizes the role of research and scholarship in the enhancement of a faculty member's teaching and service capabilities. Ho's research portfolio, both in recent years and over the course of his academic career, exemplifies the types of accomplishments that this particular CSU award recognizes. In 2023 he published a study on additive manufacturing in the Journal of Composites Science, while last year he published work on sustainable packaging and enterprise systems learning in the International Journal of Business Research & Information Technology and Journal of Computer Information Systems, respectively. As one committee member noted, "[Ho] consistently maintains a high level of research productivity, boasting numerous publications. Over the past decade, he has averaged almost three papers annually, showcasing his sustained commitment to advancing the field." With papers appearing in Computers and Operations Research, Omega, Journal of the Operational Research Society, and International Journal of Production Research, to name a few, the quality of Ho's work matches its quantity. The winner of the 2024 CSU Faculty Research & Scholarship Award will be announced in April of 2024. Turner Business wishes Johnny the best of luck.
