Bill Sodeman’s Education
-
University of Georgia - Terry College of Business
Ph.D. , Strategic Management , 1989 — 1993
My minor was Management Information Systems.
My dissertation topic was managerial decision-making in socially responsible investing, including the consideration of corporate social responsibility in investment decisions. My dissertation chair was Archie Carroll, who guided me through my initial proposal to the final product within a nine-month period.
I also taught 15 undergraduate sections of principles of management and the capstone business policy course.
When I wasn't teaching or doing my own coursework, I hung out at The Globe and ran in local 5K and 10K races.
I also held two solo exhibitions of my photography and paintings at Rage (1990) and Spectrum 452 (1991).- Activities and Societies:
- Blue Key, Graduate Student Organization, Dead Strategists Society
-
Rollins College - Crummer Graduate School of Business
MBA , Management , 1986 — 1988
The Crummer School offered no concentrations or majors in the MBA program while I attended. I took elective courses in advertising, service operations, and finance.
I cannot say enough good things about this MBA program. This was one of the few AACSB-accredited MBA programs that had no affiliated undergraduate degree programs.
Sam Certo's management policy courses were a major influence on my decision to pursue a Ph.D. in strategic management.
The computer lab included 20 AT&T PCs with 8086 processors, MS-DOS 3.3 and no network.
We had dot-marix printers, hard drives and 5.25 inch floppy drives on every machine.
There was one HP LaserJet II printer available on a separate workstation, primarily for use in printing resumes and cover letters.- Activities and Societies:
- Beta Gamma Sigma, computer lab assistant, MBA Student Association (secretary), WPRK-FM announcer

BA , Fine Arts , 1982 — 1986
