Advisory Board Member
OpenMind Publishing Group, Inc.
(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Publishing industry)
June 2001 — May 2002 (1 year)
Attempted to bring textbook publishing to the web by incorporating an open source model. Offered professors the ability to create personalized textbooks & integrated teaching aids for free. Although this venture failed, Lulu Publishing arose from its ashes (I am not associated with Lulu Publishing).

Advisory Board Member

September 2000 — April 2001 (8 months)
Venture was formed to provide a wide range of business services to startups, from financing to marketing to management. It was the right idea at the wrong time, perhaps. It did not survive.

Firm was founded to sell fine jewelry over the Internet, but when that model failed, switched to trade shows. That model failed, too!

Associate Editor
Administrative Science Quarterly
(Educational Institution; Higher Education industry)
June 1974 — June 1984 (10 years 1 month)
I started as the sole Associate Ed when Tom Lodahl was Editor. I handled all the "macro" stuff & Tom handled the "micro" stuff. This division of labor continued when Karl Weick became editor. But, when Lou Pondy joined as the other Assoc Ed, and then was succeeded by Gerry Salancik, my responsibilities became a bit more diffuse. After I moved to UNC-CH in 1982, I kept the job for two more years.
