Healthcare Management MBA: Philadelphia
Philadelphia is dominated by the healthcare industry. In fact, in 2013, health care accounted for 22 percent of the jobs in the city, or about 146,000 jobs and $6.7 billion in annual salary. It makes healthcare far and away the city’s largest employment sector. And it makes sense considering Philadelphia’s largest employers include the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Temple University Hospital, Independence Blue Cross and Pennsylvania Health, just to name a few.

Rutgers Prof. Researches Impact of Disabilities on Supervisor-Subordinate Relationship
Assistant professor of management David Dwertmann at the Rutgers School of Business- Camden recently conducted research on the ways that disabilities can negatively impact the supervisor-subordinate relationship. Dwertmann’s research explains that there is already proof that the supervisor-subordinate relationship can be affected when the subordinate has a disability, but that the relationship can also be affected when it is the supervisor who has a disability. His research shows that supervisors with disabilities are unfairly stigmatized.
“If we think about a manager or a leader, we usually think of someone with a high skill level who has positive characteristics and we therefore have high expectations of the person, but disabilities are often stigmatized and associated with low expectations or no expectations at all,” Dwertmann said in a Rutgers news release. “This large gap in expectations is more salient and may therefore cause more detrimental effects if the supervisor has a disability compared to the subordinate.”

Rutgers Alumnus Shares PMBA Experience
Dan Zuccarello waited more than 30 years to return to school for his MBA. On May 21, he graduated from the Rutgers School of Business-Camden. Zuccarello, who currently serves as a manager of the quality control laboratory at Daiichi-Sankyo, a global pharmaceutical company in Bethlehem, Pa. began his MBA program in the 1980s at Rutgers School of Business- New Brunswick.
After reading an advert for the program that he received in the mail, explaining that the program only met on Saturdays and attending an information session on the Professional MBA program offered at the Rutgers-Camden campus, Zuccarello decided it was time to go back to finish his MBA. “I always felt my career was limited because I was only a scientist,” Zuccarello told Rutgers News. “I had no business background and all of my education was in biology and chemistry. I was an analytical chemist for 35 years, but was running a business. I was being asked to handle finance, accounting, and human resources and I had no background in it. I wasn’t a fish completely out of water, but I wasn’t comfortable.”
