| Georgetown MBA Announces New Admissions Essay and Video
|
|
“What matters to you?”
It’s a subject on the minds of the MBA Admissions team at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, and the new essay question on the 2016-17 application.
“We want to see how people can both give back to the program and grow personally and professionally through the Georgetown MBA,” said Shari Hubert, associate dean for MBA Admissions. “Applicants should be specific about how something from their past has personally affected them, providing a glimpse of what’s important to them and why.”

| UG summer research program
|
|
This summer, 23 undergraduate students at Georgetown's McDonough School of Business conducted research as part of the fifth annual Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program.
Students worked with 18 Georgetown University faculty members to investigate business topics and challenges, completing research projects in diverse subjects such as employee retention in nonprofits, the demography of game theory, the relationship between corporate social responsibility and executive stock compensation plans, the impact of paternity leave on gender norms, and how collaborative technologies foster economic growth in the Philippines. Each fellow received a grant to work on their research project for five to 10 weeks.

| Faculty Research Explores Abusive Leaders and Master Motivators
|
|
| In a new book chapter, Robert J. Bies, professor of management and founder of the Executive Master’s in Leadership Program at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, challenges the either/or assumptions that a leader’s actions may be guided by only one motive: abusive or inspirational. In the chapter, “Abusive Leaders or Master Motivators? ‘Abusive' is in the Eye of the Beholder,” in Understanding the High Performance Workplace, Bies and his co-authors also examine how perceptions of the people these leaders oversee are influenced and offer a greater insight into the perceived effectiveness – or ineffectiveness – of leaders.
