The Turner College recently joined forces with the U.S. Army's Cyber Center of Excellence in order to expand military educational opportunities by signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that easily transfers U.S. Army training courses into course credits in the Turner College's MSOL program. Partnerships with educational institutes like Columbus State University are immensely beneficial to service members interested in pursuing ongoing education as turning completed Army training courses into college credits accelerates degree timelines, cuts costs, and creates online career advancement opportunities for service members they would otherwise be able to access. Thanks are due Susan Lovell, Director of Military Enrollment, and Deborah Kidder, Dean of the Turner College, for making the trip to Fort Eisenhower to sign the MOU in person. A special thanks to Major General Patrick Donahoe (Retired) for being an advocate for military educational opportunities for soldiers far and wide.
Former Turner College student Tamara Todorova , now an associate professor of economics at American University in Bulgaria (AUB), recently published a study on corporate culture and strategy. Todorova earned an MBA from the Turner College in 1996 and then went on to earn a doctorate in international economics from the University of Economics - Varna in 2001. She has been on the faculty at AUB since August of 2000. Todorova's study, which appears in the current issue of the International Journal of Business Performance Management , investigates how corporate culture helps to economize on the transaction costs of internal organization. As she explains, the dimensions of corporate culture that assist in this task include increasing trust and reducing intrafirm opportunism. Todorova's study demonstrates that setting common goals and a common direction reduces the sizeable costs of internal organization. Tamara's prior research appears in Economics of Transition , International
