The 2016 Olympics- I wish I was there!

Simone Biles August 8, 2016 Olympics

Watching this year's Rio Olympics I couldn't help but connect how MSB industry driven graduate programs relates to the Olympics (or any other global business venture).

1) M.S. in Business Leadership- Athletes, or employees have to work together as a cohesive team. Business is a team sport and tomorrow's leaders are effective team players. Learn how to inspire teams and generate results in this leadership focused, MBA alternative program.

2) M.S. in Finance- This year's Olympic games cost $4.56 billion dollars to host! Although a huge amount, it was actually less than the London and Beijing Olympics. Behind the scenes corporate finance, accounting and investment management professionals were critical to support this huge money venture.

3) M.S. in Marketing and Communications Management- The Rio Olympics involved thousands of marketing professionals. Think of all the advertising, licensing, sponsorships, social media and partnerships that were involved. The Olympic Marketing Committee publishes an interesting marketing fact file to ensure the integrity of the Olympics. To view this file click here.

4) M.S. in Sport Business Management- Sport Management is an obvious connection to the Olympics, but Sport Business Management professionals are also focused on aspects that may not be so obvious from the start including : facilities, journalism, communications, agents, negotiations, fundraising from the viewpoint of every business discipline.

5) M.S. in Human Resource Management and Organizational Effectiveness- The Olympics is a monstrous HR undertaking . HR professional are critical to securing the best workers, training, compensating and ensuring security, volunteers, contractors, Zika, health concerns, doping scandals, safety, cultural implications and global legal HR issues are addressed properly.

6) M.S. in International Management- The Olympics is a huge international business event. 11,000 athletes from 207 nations completed in 306 events. Managers are needed with expertise in working with different cultures, global economic concerns, political issues and global business practices.

SPS Prof Richard A. Montanaro: Covid-19 resume gaps will become commonplace, yet still need explaining

Richard A. Montanaro: Covid-19 resume gaps will become commonplace, yet still need explaining As posted on Westchester & Fairfield County Business Journals January 4, 2021 By School of Professional Studies Professor Richard A. Montanaro B inge watching Netflix is not a valid explanation for gaps in your resume. While a prospective employer may understand, and even sympathize with an unexplained period of inactivity in your employment, you will need to put a positive spin on these gaps even given the pandemic.

As we approach the end of 2020—one of the strangest years known to mankind—we once again turn our attention to the things that make us happy, the things that bring us joy in the face of sadness and despair: live sporting events. We know the leagues and TV broadcast partners are happy, or maybe relieved? While the world tries to return to normal, we can be grateful that sports, although different, have at least given us an outlet. That is what sports have always done—provided us with a release! That is why when people attend or tune into a sports event they do not want to be reminded of their problems, politics, or other incendiary touch point issues. The sports world continues to roll on, albeit with various of stops and starts due to COVID-19. Teams are affected or infected, and then games are postponed or canceled. However, let us focus on the positives as we have live sporting events almost every day and
