More than 50 students entered the TSYS School's cybersecurity Nexus program yesterday, beginning what promises to be ". . . the ride of their lives." The students, who comprise Cohort 12 of the program, have come to CSU at just the right time as the TSYS School is on the verge of unveiling its newly expanded and renovated TSYS Center for Cybersecurity, which occupies all of the first floor of the Synovus Center on CSU's main campus. "This is what happens when you sincerely care about preparing students for their upcoming careers and create an environment and culture of execution and achievement," stated Patrick Aiken, Director of the TSYS Center for Cybersecurity. Turner Business joins all of the Turner College's faculty, staff and returning students in welcoming Cohort 12 to campus.
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
