Quinlan School Faculty Speak With the Media on Critical Issues in Business

news: critical issues in business

Loyola University Chicago Quinlan School of Business faculty and staff were recently quoted in several publications on critical issues in business, ranging from supply chain practices to online shopping. Here are some excerpts from those pieces:

In a conversation with Modern Materials Handling, John A. Caltagirone, executive director of the Supply and Value Chain Center at the Quinlan School of Business, was asked what the one piece of advice he has for companies that are trying to address the talent challenges in their organizations and whether there is a better practice.

“Build relationships with the career center and supply chain faculty in the schools that are of interest to you. When a member of our center tells me they need an intern, I recommend the best students I’ve had in class because I know them. Then, develop some kind of intern program where you can expose students to your business and almost guarantee them a job with your company. If you can get them as interns, that’s a win that you can turn into an employee.”

Assistant Dean Susan Ries discussed the benefits of Quinlan’s new Double Degree offering in an interview with ChicagoInno.

“This program is for students who think they may want to work in the European Union. This degree is their credential from the get go. Without sponsors, it may take an American years to become credentialed and fully employable in Spain. The double degree gives a student the ability to work in the EU right after graduation.”

Professor Mary Ann McGrath was quoted in a RedEye Chicago piece on how online shopping and the shift in consumer spending are hurting big and small businesses.

“There is a new consumer process. If they go to the store, they are there to browse and use the expertise of the people there, then they go home, start reading reviews of different products and end up buying online. It’s the new reality of the marketplace — we’ve moved in the direction where everything is a competition for price.”
