A world-class researcher in the real estate field is also the head of the business department. William G. Hardin is internationally renowned as a leading scholar on real estate investment, foreclosures, corporate governance, and related topics, and in his 20-year academic career he has authored over 75 peer-reviewed journal articles. .
Now he brings the same level of self-reflection and action! — to the broader goals of FIU business. Hardin, who served as interim dean for one year at the university from 2006, continued his work as his Ryder Eminent Scholar at the Tibor and Sheila Hollo real estate schools, where he was the founding director.
In addition to the top 5 undergraduate and master’s degree programs in international business, what are the biggest pluses that drive the university?
FIU businesses are located in regions that are capable of producing graduates with the required skills and embracing a mix of ethnicities, races and cultures. When we talk to people from other business schools, we find that they are trying to be like us. Because we know that in the business world there is value in bringing together perspectives based on different identities and experiences. Some senior technology investors told me:
Why was FIU Business able to adapt to that change and stay at the forefront?
This is an example of how we didn’t have to work to catch up and were instead leaders. I explained how excited I am about the graduate program. Well, we’ve been doing it for 25 years! FIU Business started college online education programs decades ago and has educated thousands of working adults in ways that are meaningful to them. The thing is, we in his FIU got it naturally — not as a result of historical events that forced everyone’s hand, but as a fulfillment of a need.
So the school is inherently innovative.
FIU has been an innovator since it was founded 50 years ago. This is largely because we are not bound by a heritage that, frankly, stifles innovation. I’ve seen old-school frustration that might be high. They’ll be the last thing you’ll have to change if you’ve got it all right in terms of subscriber count and money. On the other hand, we at FIU embrace change. Because the industry and our region demand it. In fast-paced Miami, our business college has the mindset of finding out what works for students and what works for real-world business.
What are your immediate priorities?
Over the next five years, we will continue to drive new programs related to changes in the business environment and emerging industries. This is true not only in fast-growing South Florida and the rest of the state, but also in Latin America. , and well beyond that, especially in Africa, where there are many opportunities.
“We will be in the top 50 public business schools because we are graduating students with the skills the industry is looking for. business schools with excellent grades cannot turn the majority of their students into wait-and-see economies in four years.To the challenge of elevating universities to the top, I say.
