Kudos to Jim Hagen
Professor Jim Hagen recently was notified that his case, Ben  and Jerry's in Japan, was one of the top ten best selling cases in 2008-2009 from Ivey Publishing. The case, which focuses on building strategy for entering a foreign market, has been one of Ivey's best selling cases since it was published in 2000.
This summer Jim returned to Japan for more research and he will be back in Asia in October when he leads a group of MBA students on a China international experience. |

Julian Schuster was interviewed and quoted in a September 2009 featured article Minnesota Business titled "Ethics Epicenter: How Minnesota Started a Global Ethics Revolution."
