MBAA International is a multidisciplinary business conference founded in 1964. The conference consists of 12 program divisions all representing a different business discipline. The MBAA defines itself as a 鈥済athering of leaders from around the world to present and receive useful research, share effective pedagogy and network in a fun and familiar setting鈥� (). The conference brings in individuals from around the United States and other countries in the world, meeting once a year in Chicago. The event in April brought in more than 800 attendees.

鈥淥ur students came out highly impressive and totally wowed their audience,鈥� said McCardle of the student鈥檚 presentation in Chicago. 鈥淭here were more than 20 people in the room and a lot of enthusiastic discussions were centered on our paper [which the students] handled with competence and wit.鈥�

The winning paper, 鈥淨uest for Nudge in Organizational Behavior鈥� stemmed from the Organizational Behavior course (MGT 4441) taught by McCardle in the fall 2015 semester.

鈥淎 鈥榥udge鈥� represents a choice design meant for behavioral intervention that is easy and inexpensive to implement. By designing and executing a 鈥榥udge鈥� for the class project, students develop abilities for critical thinking and decision making,鈥� McCardle said. 鈥淏usiness students are future choice architects as managers and leaders. By gaining knowledge about choice architecture and designing the work environment accordingly, they can 鈥榥udge鈥� people to make better decisions and thus enhance organizational effectiveness.鈥�

Student Somelina Obiechina, a double major in business administration and psychology as well as an honors student, also presented a paper in the Operations Management and Entrepreneurship Association division of the conference. Obiechina鈥檚 paper is titled 鈥淎 Cross-Cultural Investigation of Competitive Priority and Strategic Alignment in Operational Effectiveness,鈥� and was developed from Obiechina鈥檚 honors thesis. In addition to the presentation, she has also won a research award from the ISU Honors Program and before attending the MBAA, presented the paper at the Western Decision Science Institute in early April.

According to McCardle, 鈥渢he paper focuses on the differential effects of competitive priority and strategic alignment on operational effectiveness in the global cultural context, highlighting the influence of national cultures in global operations.鈥�  

鈥淪omelina鈥檚 performance at MBAA as well as the WDSI 鈥� were superb. All the students represented our college very well and made me very proud,鈥� McCardle said.

Many College of Business faculty members actively participate in the MBAA International program even serving in various leadership positions. Some of these include Neil Tocher who is a program chair and Joanne Tokle, who leads as the executive director of the Society for Case Research division of the MBAA.
