Bio Statement:
Dr. William H. Glick is Dean and H. Joe Nelson III Professor of Management at the Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Business, Rice University. During his first four years at Rice University, Dr. Glick championed the significant curriculum revisions in existing programs and launched four new programs: Rice MBA for Professionals (weekday evening and weekend options), Rice Undergraduate Business Minor, Rice Education Entrepreneurship Program, and Ph.D. in Business. Total enrollments and admission standards are both at record levels, with all three Rice MBA programs achieving leadership status in terms of percentages of women and underrepresented minorities.
Faculty recruiting at all levels in all areas and research support for current faculty have contributed to a 67% increase in research productivity in the top 40 academic and practitioner journals tracked by the Financial Times. The increased productivity improved the Jones School research ranking from 52nd to 20th place internationally by 2009 in the Financial Times. Four faculty members were also recognized among the most prolific scholars in recent publications in marketing and management.
Alumni giving participation rate is up by more than 25% with current use gifts to the annual fund totaling more than three times prior annual giving. Major gifts and pledges totaling more than $21 million have been received as we start a major capital campaign investing in faculty and students.
The school’s collaboratively developed strategic plan outlines the school’s mission, plans for growth, and elements of differentiation. Through numerous discussions with the Jones School stakeholders, the mission was articulated as “Leading Thought, Shaping the World: The Jones School excels in developing principled, innovative thought leaders in global communities.” This mission reflects the school’s namesake, Jesse H. Jones, who was known for doing the right thing for the community and making it good business.
As a prolific scholar in top management journals, Dr. Glick was inducted as one of 33 charter members of the Academy of Management's Journals Hall of Fame. He was also named as one of the top 100 authors in management based on the numbers of citations to their research. His primary teaching and research are in the areas of knowledge management, job and organizational design, and business process redesign.
Dr. Glick received his Ph.D. in business administration from the University of California-Berkeley in 1981 and his A.B. in psychology from the University of Michigan in 1975. His first faculty appointment was at the University of Texas at Austin where he became Director of the Business Honors Program. He also served as the chair of the Department of Management Arizona State University and a visiting professor at INSEAD. He currently serves on the boards of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB) and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Houston and on the Professional Standards Committee for Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC).
