Faculty Updates
Helping impoverished small business owners, one microloan at a time
 Pick up the phone, chat with your colleague via blog, or an occasional flight - you're office is gone. Companies are finding the best of the best, whether they are in the U.S. or Turkey, down the street, or a million miles away. This new office-less life can be a major adjustment to the individual. Jay Mulki, professor of Marketing and Renfro Fellow, College of Business Administration, Northeastern University, says that it is hard for some employees to separate work from home life, and in his studies came across a telecommuter who drove his car around the block every morning to simulate a commute before going to work in his own home. Employers need to be more attentive in this kind of situation because it is harder to check in on their employees to get a baseline of understanding of the job, motivation, and business community effort.
The Wall Street Journal, Sept 04, 2012
Are you too essential at your job?
 Many people become so good at their job that they find themselves to be no longer growing professionally. These types of people are known as 'essential employees' because they are very specialized in what they do and, often times, are indispensable. Lynne Sarikas, executive director of the MBA Career Center at Northeastern University, suggests that if an essential employee is unhappy with his or her job responsibilities, s/he should approach their boss with the issue. Sometimes it's a good idea to ask your boss for projects outside of your work scope. However, Sarikas advises, "If your manager is not open to this, remind him that if you were to give your notice tomorrow, they would have to find a solution in the next two weeks. You would prefer to stay with the company and are willing to offer a longer transition period. Don't threaten; let them know you want to stay, but tactfully point out the reality."
The Work Buzz, Aug 24, 2012
Free trade: Bad for Us, Good for Them
 Free trade has made the country less competitive internationally and has noticeably reduced the number of jobs available for Americans due to outsourcing. Joseph Giglio, professor at Northeastern University's College of Business Administration, suggests that we adopt a national strategy that "can make the American economy grow fast enough to produce decent jobs for every member of the American family who wants to work." Giglio continues, We must begin to invest in our "broken-down infrastructure so it can generate economic growth instead of hamstringing it. We could start educating our children so that they become world leaders in something besides sports." Then, he adds, "We just might become internationally competitive again, and restore our economy to full employment while we're at it." Providence Journal, August 24, 2012
