DEAN'S MESSAGE
THE POWER
OF FOX
Earlier this year, we invited current
students to share their most powerful
Fox experiences before we officially
unveiled a new branding platform,
the Power of Fox, to better showcase
our strengths as one of the world’s
leading business schools.
Fox’s power is illustrated through
entrepreneurial thinking, a global
network and constant curriculum
innovation. All of this—as well as
technology, diversity, world-class
research faculty and more—is inside
Greater Philadelphia’s largest
business school, part of one of
the world’s largest universities.
Among hundreds of responses,
many students cited our Center for
Student Professional Development
(CSPD) for helping them land a dream
internship or job. Others experienced
Fox’s power by joining our Student
Professional Organizations.
Because, most of all,
the Power of Fox is you.
Now more than ever, the Fox School
of Business is a global brand.
One student wrote that her most
powerful Fox experience was spending
late nights and long hours studying
with friends in her International MBA
cohort. Amit Neuman said being a
teaching assistant in Risk Management
and Insurance was powerful, while
Joseph Timbo, a student-entrepreneur
who founded the clothing company
Lfficial, cited his entrepreneurship
capstone class. Senior Ryan Frain
responded with just one word:
Graduating.
The Fox School’s reputation—its
power—is sustained by our students,
faculty, staff, alumni, friends and
industry partners. You are the voices
and faces of the Power of Fox.
Regards,
M. Moshe Porat, PhD, CPCU
Dean
Laura H. Carnell Professor
Another student, Carlzel Bostic,
had a simple, yet powerful, message:
“Fox has inspired me to achieve greatness.”
What do you think of when you
see or hear the name Fox School
of Business?
Perhaps influential research
comes to mind. Or you might
think of experiential learning
opportunities, such as our
renowned Enterprise
Management Consulting
(EMC) Practice for
MBA students.

REDESIGNS, ENHANCES AND INTRODUCES PROGRAMS TO SERVE STUDENTS.
THE POWER OF FOX
FOX LAUNCHES EXECUTIVE
MBA CORPORATE PARTNER
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
REDESIGNED EXECUTIVE
MBA CAN BE COMPLETED
IN JUST 16 MONTHS
The Fox School’s Executive MBA
program is introducing a Corporate
Partner Scholarship Program to enable
its corporate partners to continue offering
educational opportunities to employees
amid budgetary constraints. The program
provides scholarship opportunities for
students when more than one employee
from the same company attends the Fox
EMBA program in a given year.
The Fox School has redesigned its highly
ranked Executive MBA into an innovative
16-month program while maintaining its
rigorous standard for curriculum.
Fox will give a 4 percent tuition
scholarship, on behalf of the corporate partner, for each of two students
who attend Fox’s EMBA program in the
same cohort, saving each student more
than $3,000 on tuition. The scholarship
amount increases for all students from
the same company by 2 percent for each
additional student who enrolls in the
program in a given year.
Fox’s EMBA is built on face-to-face
classroom time delivered over one
weekend per month and supplemented
by interaction with classmates and faculty
via WebEx, a premier web-conferencing
program that allows students to
collaborate live by audio and video.
The program enhances the educational
experience of all Fox EMBA students
and encourages co-workers to become
educational colleagues. It also gives
businesses the opportunity to strengthen
their workforce and retain valuable
employees through a partnership with
Fox—at no cost to the company.
“Our Executive MBA program allows
seasoned professionals to learn from
Fox’s world-class faculty one day and
to apply those concepts the next day
at work. By pursuing a Fox EMBA with
a co-worker, that experience is greatly
enhanced,” Dean M. Moshe Porat said.

FASHION THROUGH THE AGES
While teen girls often see friends or
celebrities as fashion idols, new research
shows that moms may mimic style
mavens who are much closer to home:
their daughters.

leafing through the latest edition
of People and gazing at the celebrity
fashion icons on every page.
This week’s Style Watch showcases
actresses Emily Browning, Vanessa
Hudgens and Anne Hathaway. Their
“amazing accents” include Hudgens’s
beaded Jenny Packham gown and
Hathaway’s embroidered Dolce &
Gabbana dress.
Other People features, such as
Celebrity Marketplace or Beauty
Watch, serve as instruction manuals
on how to imitate fashion of the stars.
Lady Gaga’s surprising must-have?
Ivory bar soap! ($2.50 for a four-pack
at drugstores.)
But while the teenager—at the
crucial stage in life where she is forming
an independent self-identify—is apt to
mimic the fashion sense of her peers or
look to celebrities for guidance, there’s
a different story down the hall.
As much as mom might be influenced
by celebrity endorsements, her fashion
role model is likely to be closer to
home than Sarah Jessica Parker or
Katie Holmes. In fact, it’s someone
she knows personally.
Her daughter.
The teenage girl lounges
PROFOUND IMPACT
Parents (direct role models) and celebrities (indirect role models) have long
exerted influence on the consumption
decisions and socialization of youth.
Research has also shown that children
influence the products families buy as a
unit—cereal or soda, the family car—or
items bought by parents but primarily
for a child, such as a new bicycle.
But a new study—believed to be
the first of its kind—by a Fox School
professor tested the influence teenage
girls have on products their mothers
buy solely for personal use, as in
makeup or clothing.
Lead author Ayalla Ruvio, an
assistant professor of marketing, found
that mothers have a much stronger
tendency to mimic their daughters’
consumption behavior than vice versa.
“This finding provides initial support
for the notion of reverse socialization
and suggests that the impact adolescents
have on their parents is much more profound than has been credited to them,”
Ruvio and her co-authors wrote in a
Journal of Consumer Behavior article,
subtitled “A role model perspective
on intentional consumer mimicry.”

celebrity, Bar Refaeli, as their
fashion icon.
Number of mother-daughter pairs
who responded to the study. The
mothers were 44 years old on
average; the daughters’ average
age was 16.
Some mothers mirror their daughters’
consumption style. This phenomenon
—an intentional decision-making
process of whom to mimic, what
product or actions to copy, and for
how long—produced a new term
and inspired the article’s title:
the consumer doppelganger effect.
effect, in which an impersonator copies
someone he or she doesn’t know. Like
when someone, let’s call her Amy, buys
the exact Gap drawstring jacket Kate
Bosworth wore to a party. Bosworth,
of course, has no idea Amy did that.
Study No. 2 analyzed whether
teenage girls tend to emulate their
mothers’ consumption behavior
or whether mothers mimic their
daughters. In essence, is it the
cliché like mother, like daughter
—or the other way around?
The study sampled 343 motherdaughter pairs, with an average age
of 44 for the mothers and 16 for the
daughters. The researchers were
surprised to find that the “daughters’
interest in fashion and their older
cognitive age have no significant
relationship with their mothers’
influence as role models.” So even
if the daughters are fashion crazed
and think they’re 25, they won’t
look to mom for style tips.
However, “mothers who see their
daughters as consumer role models will
tend to doppelgang their consumption
behavior,” especially if the mother is
young at heart, has high fashion
consciousness and views her daughter
as a style queen.
This mimicry is lampooned in the
teen comedy Mean Girls when the
main character, played by Lindsay
Lohan, visits the estate of Regina
George, the local “it girl.” Regina’s
mother—comedian Amy Pohler—

“The findings clearly
indicate that the
subjects intentionally
choose the figure
they want to emulate
and report their
inclination to mimic

‘YOU GIRLS KEEP ME YOUNG’
Ruvio’s forthcoming consumer doppelganger article features two studies. The
first tested the tendency of 152 high
school girls who lived in a large city
in Israel to mimic celebrities they considered fashion experts. The study also
measured the girls’ fashion consciousness and their cognitive age—their age
perception as opposed to actual age.
All of the girls chose an older female
celebrity, with about 30 percent of them
selecting the same 24-year-old model,
Bar Refaeli. The results supported the
notion that the girls identify most with
consumer role models who apparently
have similar interests, expertise in a
certain domain and are of similar cognitive age—with the teens thinking they
themselves are older than they are.
“It is not merely the mimicking
act that is conscious,” the researchers
wrote. “The findings clearly indicate
that the subjects intentionally choose
the figure they want to emulate and
report their inclination to mimic their
consumption behavior.”
This study tested intentional,
“unidirectional” consumer doppelganger

margaritas as a way to make friends.
She comes off as socially tone deaf.
“What are you guys listening to?
What’s the cool jams?” Pohler
asks the group.
“Mom, could you go fix your hair?”
Regina responds to dismiss her from
the room.
“OK,” Pohler replies with a wink.
“You girls keep me young. Oh, I love
you so much.”
SHE IS FOR ME
According to the researchers, the
mother-daughter dyadic model is the
first to test the “bidirectional influence”
—whether the consumer doppelganger
effect can go both ways—on children
and adults influencing the purchase of
personal products. They also believe
it’s the first study to explicitly test
relevancy in regard to both unidirectional and bidirectional role models.
Ruvio and her colleagues integrated
“two streams of research,” the study
of mimicry and the literature on role
modeling, to demonstrate that “children affect their parents’ consumption
behavior with regard to the products
that the parents themselves consume.”
The findings aren’t just clear in
Ruvio’s article. They’re also on display
in her home.
Ruvio had two boys, Tom and Daniel,
before welcoming her daughter, Lihi, to
the world. Before Lihi was born, Ruvio
hated to wear pink and purple shirts.
Now she does. She despised jewelry.
Now she wears it.
It’s all because Lihi—which loosely
translates to “she is for me” in Hebrew
—compliments Ruvio when she wears
those colors or accessories. So, in the
Ruvio household, perhaps it’s fashion
criticism, as opposed to expertise,
that leads the mother to change her
consumption behavior. The child’s
influence—even if it hasn’t led to
a doppelgang—started early.
Lihi is only 6 years old.
AYALLA RUVIO
Assistant professor of marketing
Dr. Ayalla Ruvio earned her PhD
from the University of Haifa in Israel
and was a visiting scholar at the
University of Michigan before joining
Fox in 2009.
She is a consumer behavior researcher
who focuses on issues such as consumers’ self-identity, possessions as
an extension of the self, consumers’
need for uniqueness, and crosscultural consumer behavior.
In July 2011, her research on the
“consumer doppelganger effect”
—specifically mothers copying their
daughters’ identities through fashion
—captured the attention of news outlets in at least 20 countries, appeared
on hundreds of websites and led to
high-profile exposure for the Fox
School’s thought leadership.
Ruvio’s study was featured in the
Toronto Star, British Elle, Telegraph
and Daily Mail, The Times of India,
Chile’s La Tercera and China Daily.
Major U.S. coverage included The New
York Times, TIME, The Atlantic and
NBC’s Today Show. When CNN.com
posted an article about her findings, it
became the most popular story on the
site. Her research was even a question
on NPR’s weekly quiz show, “Wait,
Wait … Don’t Tell Me!”
Ruvio has published about 25 journal
articles on an array of topics, including
aggressive driving as a consumption
experience and the holiday consumption rituals of Christians,
Jews and Muslims.
When not in the classroom or office,
she’s most likely competing in dog

Dr. Joe DiMauro, founder of
Horsham Veterinary Hospital

FOX FOCUS FALL 2011
10/16/11 6:27 AM
“He’s a businessman with the
compassionate edge of a veterinarian,
and a veterinarian with the hard edge
of a businessman.”
—Amy Myers, hospital manager
Dr. Joe DiMauro, MBA ’80, calmly enters the hospital’s main
surgery room at 12:45 p.m., snapping on a pair of latex
gloves and tying a mask over his mouth.
He tugs two large, overhead lights down toward the table
while his technician begins to shave and clean the patient’s
incision site. The buzz of the razor sounds dull next to the
familiar high-pitched beep beep beep of the pulse oximeter
measuring the heartbeat of the anesthetized patient.
DiMauro is repairing a torn ACL, a routine procedure he
performs about once a week—perhaps 400 times to date—
yet he calls the patient’s family before starting the surgery
to make sure they are comfortable with the operation and
understand the potential risks.
“All right, let’s rock and roll,” DiMauro says, as the radio
plays oldies in the background. Normally, the Phillies game
would be on, but today—a Thursday in June—the team is
between series with the Nationals and Pirates.
The technician laces up DiMauro in his lab coat and
hair net, careful to avoid the sterilized tools on the tray.
At 1:25 p.m., the smells of smoke and burning flesh fill
the room as he makes the first incision with the laser
cutter into the knee.
DiMauro operates on the dog with the passion of an artist.

FEATURE VETTING PROCESS
Veterinarians in the U.S.
Vet Clinics in the U.S.
As of 2010, there were 90,201
veterinarians in the U.S.
Out of the 26,642 veterinary
firms in the U.S., only 235
employ 50 to 99 people.
“I was attracted to the idea of being
a generalist—having appointments one
day and doing surgeries the next,” he
said of choosing veterinary medicine.
He attended business school before
getting accepted to the School of
Veterinary Medicine at the University
of Pennsylvania. The decision would
greatly impact the way he expanded
his simple practice into an innovative,
technological veterinary clinic, kennel
and boarding facility.
DiMauro’s hospital was the first in the
area—and still only one of a few—to
use laser technology, a “basically bloodless” operating technique that allows for
less swelling and pain. The doctors at
Horsham Veterinary Hospital also take
biopsy samples with fiber-optic scopes
and perform endoscopies, enabling
them to see inside the body using
small tubes and lenses.
When conducting pre-anesthetic
blood work, DiMauro’s doctors use a
technology called Cardiopet, which
allows them to transmit electrocardiograms over telephone lines
and receive a faxed report approving
the use of anesthesia on patients
scheduled for surgery.
And because animals can’t hold their
breath when told, special lead-lined
collars minimize radiation when taking
digital X-rays.
“He’s a businessman with the
compassionate edge of a veterinarian,
and a veterinarian with the hard
edge of a businessman,” said
Hospital Manager Amy Myers.
DiMauro’s hospital is organized,
pristine and sterile. Bright, yellow walls
frame the stainless steel equipment and
neatly labeled bins of needles, Q-tips,
gauze and syringes. But each animal’s
holding cage features a handwritten
card with the patient’s first and last
name—Lily Smith, Max Jones—as
a friendly reminder that pets are
treated like people here.
Employees dressed in clean,
maroon polo shirts and white pants
work methodically in a pharmacy
area, examining samples and filling
prescriptions. But down the hall,
Room 7 assures clients that the
Horsham Veterinary Hospital staff
can also be friends in hard times.
DiMauro designed this “comfort
room” with cozy couches and mellow
lighting as an oasis to discuss options
with families of dying patients. A door
directly to the parking lot provides an
easy escape for clients—some overcome
with emotion—who prefer not to walk
out through the waiting room.
“It’s hard, but that’s why we’re here,”
said Barb Wagner, a certified veterinary
technician. “I like to think the happy
and good outweigh the sad.”

ANIMAL HOUSE
The blond tuft of fur poking out from
under the green surgical blanket belongs
to Oskie Trymbiski, a 103-pound
husky. Suffering from an injured left
hind leg, 4-year-old Oskie was referred
to DiMauro’s veterinary hospital in
Horsham, Pa., a practice that caters
to an active clientele of nearly
10,000 animals.
The massive 12,800-square-foot
facilities, in Montgomery County, are
an impressive upgrade from the splitlevel house—about the size of half
a tennis court—down the road in
which DiMauro began his practice
25 years ago.
Using two bedrooms for exams,
DiMauro carried animals down to the
basement, while he and his wife lived
upstairs with their 1-year-old daughter,
Elysa. While the practice grew, space
became tight, and DiMauro moved
into a larger building.
Then five and a half years ago,
with a staff of 50, including six elite
doctors, DiMauro opened the Horsham
Veterinary Hospital in its present
location at Horsham and Keith Valley
roads. The hospital held an open
house earlier this year to celebrate
its 25th anniversary.
A resident of Dresher, Pa., DiMauro,
55, has worked with 3-pound Yorkies,
190-pound Mastiffs and everything in
between. DiMauro’s colleagues have
extracted hairballs and stones from
ferret stomachs and have removed
tumors from mice and guinea pigs.

THE DOG DAYS ARE OVER
In the operating room, DiMauro breaks
the silence with a joke as Wagner
cleans the incision site of a small silky
terrier getting growths removed by laser.
“It’s good to use saline to cleanse. You
don’t want to ignite the animal,” he
said. “Not a good practice builder.”

“The difference between me and others is the
Temple degree,” said DiMauro, who graduated
with an MBA in healthcare administration.
DiMauro’s co-workers, some of whom
have been with him since day one,
praise him as optimistic and laid back,
with a visible passion for his practice
and an extraordinary business sense.
“He has always been incredibly
involved in the community here,”
said Jean Janzer, a longtime veterinary
technician and the hospital’s community events coordinator.
Janzer said the hospital hosts client
education sessions, rescue events and
brings in community groups of seniors
and scouts to tour the facilities. A spare
room in the back of the building acts as
a community space for the local Rotary
Club and Horsham Dog Park group.
“It’s amazing how identifiable in the
community we are,” said Myers, adding
that she often gets recognized at the
supermarket in her veterinary uniform.
DiMauro’s other passion is supporting
youth education. He gladly encourages
high school and college students
interested in pursuing veterinary
medicine to shadow him at the hospital.
Back in surgery, he asks one such
student, Nikki Gustafson, a senior at
Upper Dublin High School, the steps
of the procedure that will fix Oskie’s
torn ACL.
“First you clean the joint and
then stabilize it,” she replies.
In just three weeks, Gustafson said
she has learned that being a veterinarian is not always glamorous. Knuckle
deep in blood, DiMauro mentions that
he is allergic to cats and gets injections
to prevent allergy attacks.
Earlier, he sidestepped a pile of dog
vomit on the hospital floor, while Myers
followed behind a boxer who had
swallowed rat poison, cleaning up the
mess in stilettos—truly a labor of love.
At 2:50 p.m., two hours after beginning preparation for Oskie’s surgery,
DiMauro has stabilized the dog’s joint
with four sutures and two stainless steel
clips threaded through the bone. He has
meticulously stitched the incision and
carefully packed the leg in ice.
Gently laid in a cage, Oskie begins to
fidget and awaken from the anesthesia.
In six months, he’ll be running around
like normal.
DiMauro diligently fills out paperwork
in the treatment area while a bunny
looks on. He has at least three more
hours of administrative work before
returning home to be with his wife and
three children—two of whom have
chosen musical careers over medical
ones—along with his two Boston
terriers, Fredo and Massimo, a French
bulldog, Vanilla, and Cecil, a bluefronted Amazon parrot.
He rushes to his office to make a
phone call, knowing that a family
is missing one of its members. Still
donned in scrubs, he lands in his chair,
grabs the receiver and drums his fingers
on the desk, waiting for an answer.
“Hi, this is Dr. Joe DiMauro. Oskie
did great in surgery today …”
VET TECHNOLOGY
Laser Surgery
CO2 surgical laser
systems use a focused
beam of light to cut
through tissue and heat
up cells to the point of
bursting. In veterinary
medicine, laser surgeries
include removing tumors
and performing neuters.
Laser procedures are
more sterile and precise
than other techniques.
Endoscopy
Veterinary endoscopies
are performed with fiberoptic scopes inserted
into the patient’s body,
allowing doctors to
see problematic areas
such as the esophagus,
stomach or intestines.
Endoscopies are used to
take biopsy samples and
sometimes to remove
objects, like rubber
bands and coins, from
the stomachs of animals.
Cardiology
All patients receive preanesthetic blood work
and heart scans before
surgeries. To expedite
the process, veterinarians
use a technology called
Cardiopet, which transmits electrocardiograms
over telephone lines
and faxes back a report
of any risks.

SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY:
LEARN AS YOU GO OR
APPLY WHAT YOU KNOW?
POINT
BACKGROUND:
LEARN AS YOU GO
Larry Dignan (Point)
is editor in chief of
ZDNet and SmartPlanet,
as well as editorial
director of ZDNet’s sister
site TechRepublic. He is
exploring the returns on
social media in a followup to his Kindle Single,
The Business of Media:
A Survival Guide.
Have you been on Google+ yet?
How about your company?
Dr. Steven L. Johnson
(Counterpoint) is an
assistant professor of
Management Information
Systems and director of
Social Media Programs
and Research for Fox’s
Institute for Business and
Information Technology
(IBIT).
“We have enough social networks
already with Twitter and Facebook.”
Johnson and Dignan are
instructors in a new Social
Media certificate program
at the Fox School. Visit
ExecEd.ibit.temple.edu
for more information,
including discounts for
Temple alumni.
Why bother? Google+ could be the
next big thing. The unique interface,
organizing principles that revolve
around circles of friends and
connections to mobile devices could
stall Facebook’s momentum. After all,
Facebook has 750 million users, but
Google can integrate its social network
with its Gmail service, which has
224 million users around the world.
If your answer is no you’re already
behind the curve on social networking.
Yes, I know what you’re thinking.
It goes like this:
“I don’t have the time.”
“Where are the returns?”
“Does social networking really
have branding effects?”
All of those lines of thinking are valid
to some degree, but the bottom line is
that business professionals and their
companies need to engage in social networking as soon as possible. Don’t sweat
the planning. Experimentation is the rule
of the day. In fact, experimentation will
more often than not form what becomes
your company’s official policy.
Bottom line: There’s a big audience
to be had. And your company can be
one of the first to the gold rush.
Sure, you’ll screw up sometimes.
At times, the time spent fiddling with
Google+ will look like a complete
waste. Some of these experiments
and the networks that are created will
fail miserably. As for Google+, it’s the
14
search giant’s third try at giving
Facebook some competition. But the
early line is that Google+ is a legitimate
social networking contender. Your job is
to try these newfangled efforts and be
knowledgeable about them.
Fortunately for you, there’s little investment upfront for this experimentation.
You’re not installing a new enterprise
system and changing processes. An
intern—perhaps the most likely expert
available—can scout out these services
and may just stumble on some real
possibilities. The return on investment
on social networking can be sketchy, but
there’s also little that’s needed up front.
Experiment early. Experiment often.
There’s little to lose and a lot to gain.
Larry Dignan, Editor in Chief
of ZDNet and SmartPlanet
PROS
There’s a big audience to be had.
And your company can be one
of the first to the gold rush.
Don’t sweat the planning.
Experimentation is the rule of
the day. There are no upfront
funding commitments other than
time, and return on investment
may be substantial—even if
metrics are lacking.
Networks will emerge and flame
out continually. Figure out what the
next big thing may be and adapt to
whatever that is.
FOX FOCUS FALL 2011
10/16/11 6:28 AM
COUNTERPOINT
APPLY WHAT YOU KNOW
The time for working professionals and
organizations to merely experiment
with social media has passed. It’s time
to learn from experience. It’s time to
create a social media strategy.
As your organization prepares its
strategy, here are three key lessons
to keep in mind.
LESSON NO. 1:
Social media is here to stay, not a
passing fad.
Did you know that nearly 60 percent
of American adults online use a social
networking site? According to The Pew
Research Center’s Internet & American
Life Project the number of adults using
social networking sites has nearly
doubled since 2008. The growth isn’t
from teens and college students, either.
The user base of all the major sites is
coming from older users.
Humans are social beings. We have
an innate desire to express ourselves.
It has never been easier to find people
with similar interests online and engage
in conversation. While individual social
media sites will rise and fall, the ability
to form public ad-hoc conversations is
here to stay.
Your customers, colleagues and
competitors all have countless communication channels available to talk about
your organization. Every day what is
being said online forms and reforms
a public identity of your organization.
You can choose to ignore it, to merely
monitor it, or, better yet, to actively take
part in shaping that conversation.
LESSON NO. 2:
Social media is important, so treat
it that way.
It’s tempting to turn over social media to
an intern or a new-hire. But, you wouldn’t
send a brand-new hire to an important
meeting with a key client, would you?
They can certainly help, but they can’t
do it all on their own.
Can you still execute your best-made
plans on a major holiday weekend?
This is an exciting and dynamic time for
social media. Applying these simple
lessons can help your organization move
beyond experimentation and integrate
social media into your business.
Dr. Steven L. Johnson, Director
of Social Media, IBIT
Social media strategy is a management
and executive responsibility. Social
media needs to be integrated into
other business functions:
Who is allowed to speak for your
organization online?
Who is responsible for responding
to difficult situations online?
How do you make sure your organization
presents a consistent public image?
With basic guidelines and policies
in place, the skills, enthusiasm and
creativity of new hires can provide
a valuable addition to your team. But
effective use of social media requires
a combination of knowing both your
business and online tools.
LESSON NO. 3:
Organizational social media is also an
IT application.
On July 4, 2011, the @foxnewspolitics
Twitter account was hacked and multiple
erroneous news accounts were posted.
The information was easily verified as
false, but the incident demonstrates a
number of important questions that
need to be addressed in a robust
social media policy.
CONS
The time for working professionals
and organizations to merely experiment with social media has passed.
It’s time to learn from experience.
Your company’s best option is to
actively shape online conversations, which form and reform the
public identity of your organization.
Although it’s tempting to turn over
social media to an intern or a new
hire, social media strategy is a
management and executive
responsibility.
Effective use of social media
requires knowing both your
business and online tools.
Who has control over your organization’s
social media accounts? If an account is
hacked or a key employee leaves, how
would you regain access?
What is your crisis management plan?
If misinformation appears about your
company online, who and how can it
be addressed quickly?

MERCEDES DELGADO FACULTY PROFILE
INNOVATING
IN CLUSTERS
“Mercedes is a core research partner, and has been
instrumental in bringing new ideas, methodological
rigor and tenacity to our joint work.”
—Michael E. Porter, Harvard Business School
Ask Mercedes Delgado about the
current pace of innovation, and she’ll
tell you it is moving faster than ever.
Delgado, an assistant professor of
strategic management, focuses her
research on entrepreneurship, country
competitiveness, and the relationship
between industry clusters and the
performance of firms, regions and
countries.
Last year, Delgado and a team of
Harvard and MIT researchers earned
a grant from the federal Economic
Development Administration (EDA)
to help policymakers more effectively
tap into regional innovation clusters
that drive economic growth.
Delgado, who describes clusters
as “geographic agglomerations of
companies, suppliers, service providers
and associated institutions in a particular
field,” said the EDA grant has allowed
the researchers to use state-of-the-art
methods to better assess the presence,
dynamics and emergence of regional
clusters (for example, clean energy).
Their main goal is to provide mapping
tools for firms, practitioners and
fellow researchers to evaluate
growth opportunities.
Delgado’s “Clusters and entrepreneurship,” which she co-authored with
Harvard University’s Michael E. Porter
and MIT Professor Scott Stern, was
published last year in the Journal of
Economic Geography. But the team has
been working on clusters and regional
development for years, beginning with
Porter’s pioneer work in the 1990s.
Research also plays a vital role in her
Fox curricula and instruction.
“My research helps me develop new
course material, including company
cases and tools for assessing the
business environment in a particular
location,” said Delgado, who recently
studied the entrepreneurial capacity
of Andalusia, Spain.
Since 2009 she has collaborated on a
new curriculum development initiative
to link strategic management’s
undergraduate capstone and Fox’s
MBA Enterprise Management Consulting
(EMC) Practice to increase experiential
learning for undergraduates. As part
of the course enhancement, Delgado
co-authored a case study of the
Philadelphia Mural Arts Program
with EMC Managing Director TL Hill.
With her colleagues, Delgado is
designing a graduate course on
Analytical Foundations of Strategy,
which she plans to pilot in Fall 2012.
“This course will offer the analytical tools
to facilitate strategic decision-making in
a setting of uncertainty,” Delgado said.
“The business environment changes fast,
and these changes need to be reflected
in the curriculum.”

STUDENT PROFILE KAYODE MALOMO
CONQUERING
A DIVIDE
After he obtains his MBA in 2012, Malomo envisions
himself using his skills to establish a global consulting
firm that will provide opportunities to low-income and
minority entrepreneurs.
KAYODE MALOMO
Program:
Executive MBA
Hometown:
Ogun State, Nigeria
Faces of the world:
Malomo, a consummate artist,
has been commissioned to
paint a portrait of Nigeria’s
president, among other
African leaders.
Kayode Malomo wasn’t worried when he
and a group of colleagues touring Sierra
Leone nearly missed their flight back
to the U.S. after a technology glitch.
Growing up in Nigeria rendered the
33-year-old familiar with the challenges
that exist in much of Africa. Though he
isn’t from Sierra Leone, he felt a sense
of being at home there, and he knew
his group would make it back to the
U.S. one way or another.
Malomo’s experience during the tour did,
however, inspire Atlas Communications,
a telecommunications company
incorporated in the U.S. and Sierra
Leone dedicated to providing phone
and increasing Internet penetration
in the West African country.
When Malomo and his business
partners toured Sierra Leone in 2007,
the Internet reached only 13,900 of
the 8 million people who live there.
So he and his partner, who is also
his boss at the accounting firm he works
for in Philadelphia, were able to raise
$2 million from investors to establish
Atlas Communications.
“The big part for us is the social impact
and the opportunity to bridge the digital
divide between Sierra Leone and the
rest of the world,” said Malomo, who
18
recently earned a 2010 African and
Caribbean Business Council Award
for Entrepreneurship and a City
of Philadelphia citation for his
achievements.
Though the typical image of Sierra
Leone depicts the country as a war-torn
and dangerous nation, Malomo and
his colleagues saw the seeds of
development and opportunity there
and felt it was the perfect place to
affect change through their company.
Currently, Malomo lives in Philadelphia
with his wife and two sons, 2 years and
16 months old, and works as chief
marketing officer and vice president
of marketing for the National
Business Service Center in addition
to co-managing Atlas Communications.
The firm currently reaches a few
hundred people through clients that
include Internet cafes, the University
of Sierra Leone and nonprofits.
After he obtains his MBA in 2012,
Malomo envisions himself using his skills
to establish a global business-consulting
firm that will provide opportunities to
low-income and minority entrepreneurs.
“There’s a void there for me to fill,” he
said. “I see myself as a global citizen.”

BRENT SAUNDERS ALUMNI PROFILE
EYE ON
INNOVATION
“It’s how we achieve the results that is going to make us
different—or better—than our competitors,” said Brent Saunders,
who at age 41 is among the nation’s youngest CEOs.
Brent Saunders, MBA, LAW '96, CEO of
Bausch + Lomb, has traveled to at least
60 countries in the past decade, yet the
leader of the world's largest independent
eye-care company hardly gets a chance
to look around.
“Except for one trip, I don’t think I’ve
taken time to do any sightseeing,” he said.
Such is life for Saunders, who oversees
a company that does business in 100
countries and has more than 10,000
employees worldwide. Appointed CEO in
March 2010, Saunders said his job is to
ensure as many ideas as possible result
in tangible innovations.
Although Bausch + Lomb is best known
for eye-care products, the 158-year-old
company has two other business units:
surgical and pharmaceuticals. With
Saunders at the helm, the company
has rejuvenated its product pipeline
across all units, with projects that include
a new laser technology for cataract
surgery, new contact lens solution and
materials, and a novel anti-inflammatory
pharmaceutical agent.
In addition to developing potentially
game-changing products, Saunders
also emphasizes that “results, in and
of themselves, are not enough.”
“It’s how we achieve the results that is
going to make us different—or better
—than our competitors,” said Saunders,
who at age 41 is among the nation’s
youngest CEOs.

Flip through the pages of Newsweek or the top journals

research by Fox faculty. From an international award
for legal education to a No. 1 global research ranking
in MIS, Fox professors are continually expanding the
frontiers of knowledge, serving students and revamping
curriculum. For them, the big question isn’t what’s
happening now—it’s what’s happening tomorrow?

PROFESSOR’S RESEARCH
FEATURED IN NEWSWEEK
COVER STORY
Anxiety might be a well-known consequence
of information overload, but Angelika Dimoka,
an assistant professor of marketing and the
director of Fox’s Center for Neural Decision
Making, wanted to confirm the biological
phenomenon at work.
In a March cover story by Newsweek, Dimoka
describes the research she and her colleagues
have conducted on “combinatorial auctions,”
which force bidders to consider a dizzying
number of items.
Her research indicates that, as information
increases, so does brain activity responsible
for decision-making and emotional control. As
bidders received more and more information,
however, activity in that brain region suddenly
fell off (as if a circuit breaker popped)
—causing frustration and anxiety to soar.

“With too much information,” Dimoka said,
“people’s decisions make less and less sense.”

AWARDS
LEGAL STUDIES
CHAIR HONORED
BY INTERNATIONAL
ASSOCIATION
FOR CONTINUING
LEGAL EDUCATION
Fox Legal Studies Chair Samuel D. Hodge Jr. has
been recognized for his work training lawyers
and judges in human anatomy for litigators with
an award for Outstanding Achievement in the
Best Program category from the International
Association for Continuing Legal Education
(ACLEA).
The Pennsylvania Bar Association nominated
Hodge, also a Temple Law adjunct professor, for
the award. The CLE course he was recognized
for also serves as the basis for his Anatomy for
Litigators course at Temple.
Hodge’s courses are designed to fill in the gaps
by providing a “guided tour” of the human body
from a lawyer’s perspective, including insights
into how various systems and parts work
to illuminate legal issues such as causation
and damages.

AMONG SPEAKERS
AT INAUGURAL
INCITEXCHANGE
CONFERENCE
The Fox School and its new Center for
Design+Innovation welcomed 15 speakers—
including Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter—
to Alter Hall in March for inciteXchange, a
conference aiming to breach boundaries and
encourage interdisciplinary collaboration.
Davidson and Borguet, a Temple chemistry
professor, were awarded grand prize at the
13th annual event for pureNANO Technologies,
an innovative firm that will provide ultra-pure
carbon nanotubes to enable technologies in
a variety of fields.
More than 250 industry leaders, technologists,
design advocates, academics, researchers and
more participated in a series of short, rapid-fire
presentations, coordinated dialogues and
moderated panel discussions. The inaugural
event focused on the role of technology and
design in redefining urban experiences.
The team, whose partnership was established
through the Fox-based IEI and Temple’s Office
of Technology Transfer, won $70,000 in cash,
$30,000 in professional services and $10,000
in Microsoft products, in addition to $10,000
for best-written cleantech plan.
“North Broad Street is an incredible part of
the revitalization of Philadelphia, and you’re
at the heart and soul of it,” Nutter said.

participating entrepreneurs from 13 of Temple’s
17 schools and colleges, also a record.
In January, the competition received a $500,000
donation from Goldman Sachs Gives, a donoradvised fund, to further expand university-wide
entrepreneurship during the next five years.
The gift was made at the recommendation of

Appreciation
Scholarships remain a critical priority, as
does support for professorships, endowed
chairs and research funds, which assist us
in recruiting and retaining some of the
most sought-after faculty in the world.
From Dean M. Moshe Porat
The 2010-11 academic and fiscal year
saw the Fox School expand international
partnerships, restructure our MBA program, launch a Master of Accountancy,
welcome a dozen new full-time faculty
members, and introduce cutting-edge
research and outreach centers, including
the Center for Design+Innovation.
We redesigned our Executive MBA
program, introduced a new schoolwide branding platform, and made
headlines across the world for our
research and thought leadership. We
also continued to attain top rankings, for
research productivity—most notably a
No. 1 global ranking for Management
Information Systems—and for programs,
including Risk Management and
Insurance, International Business,
and Entrepreneurship.
Philanthropically, we raised more than
$4 million—including over $2 million
for scholarship support—and received a
$500,000 gift from the Goldman Sachs
Gives program for our university-wide
business plan competition. This generous
gift, which came at the recommendation
of Temple alumni Alan and Deborah
Cohen, positions our competition as
one of the most elite nationwide.
As I consider our continuing opportunities
and challenges, I recognize that Russell
Conwell’s vision for access to excellent
education is under stress.
Scholarships remain a critical priority,
as does support for professorships,
endowed chairs and research funds,
which assist us in recruiting and retaining
some of the most sought-after faculty
in the world.
I am grateful to the people whose names
appear on the 2011 Donor Appreciation
List. Their support for Fox at the Conwell
Society level truly makes a difference
in the lives of our students and faculty,
immeasurably strengthens the reputation
of our school, and continues to honor
the legacy of Temple’s founder.
