O'Donnell's Research Surpasses 500 Google Scholar Citations

Research by Turner College marketing professor Ed O'Donnell recently surpassed 500 career Google Scholar citations. Additionally, Google Scholar reports that his i10-index is equal to 8, meaning that O'Donnell has published 8 studies that have each garnered at least 10 citations. Google Scholar also reports two additional metrics. One of these is a scholar’s h-index, which is the largest number, h, of a scholar’s publications that have each garnered at least h citations. O'Donnell’s h-index is 9, meaning that his 9 most-cited studies have each generated at least 9 citations. Another Google Scholar metric is a scholar’s g-index, which is the largest number, g, of a scholar’s publications that have collectively garnered at least g-squared citations. O'Donnell’s g-index is 19, meaning that his 19 most-cited studies have collectively produced at least 361 citations. O'Donnell’s top-cited publication is a 2005 study in the Journal of Management Studies that, based on the concept of mimetic isomorphism, theorizes that, by imitating the home country MNE modal generic product strategy in each Triad nation, emerging market firms can improve their export performance satisfaction. This paper is co-authored with Lance Eliot Brouthers and John Hajdimarcou of the University Texas at El Paso. O'Donnell’s second most-cited publication is a 2017 study in the International Journal of Organizational Analysis that is co-authored with (former Turner College management professor) Steven Brown of Georgia Gwinnett College and Lisa Chen of Fort Hays State University. This study focuses on the transformational leadership characteristics of charisma and role modeling. O'Donnell holds a PhD in marketing from Kent State University.
