Yet, we have little insight as to how such rules – or more importantly, diversity on boards – impacts board functioning. This talk will explore how diversity influences corporate governance and offer guidance on how companies can assemble boards that can drive performance. Quinetta M. Roberson is the John A. Hannah Distinguished Professor of Management and Psychology at Michigan State University. Prior to her current position, she was an endowed chair at Villanova University and a tenured professor at Cornell University. Professor Roberson’s research interests focus on developing organizational capability and enhancing effectiveness through the strategic management of people, particularly diverse work teams. Cybersecurity Across the Supply Chain-Improving security by addressing the three key paradoxes Dr. Steven Melnyk Cybersecurity across the supply chain is becoming increasingly important. However, for most, it seems to be something that involves Information Technology, large firms, and unique solutions - not quite right. Rather, it involves addressing three key paradoxes: cybersecurity is not an IT issue but a supply chain issue; cybersecurity is not an issue for large firms but for small to medium sized enterprises; finally, in effectively addressing cybersecurity, we build a foundation that supports development such as improved supply chain visibility. Steven A. Melnyk is a Professor of Supply Chain and Operations Management at Michigan State University. His research focus includes supply chain risk and resilience, strategic supply chain management, behavioral research, and certified management standards. Rewriting the Rules of Teamwork: The National Infrastructure for Multiteam System Research Dr. John Hollenbeck As the pace, scope, and complexity of work in organizations increases, traditional teams are too small and insufficiently specialized to meet the multifaceted demands of contemporary problems. This has resulted in an increased use of multiteam systems in business, government, medical, and military contexts. Scholars in the social and behavioral sciences have noticed the increased use of multiteam systems, and accordingly, research on this topic has expanded rapidly over the last 15 years. Regrettably, the small amount of existing research conducted with multiteam systems makes it clear that size and specialization matter, and this precludes simple generalizations from teams to multiteam systems when it comes to theory and practice. The “Rules for Teamwork” need to be rewritten, and the research discussed reflects a multimillion effort funded by multiple branches of the U.S. Department of Defense to create a national infrastructure for studying multiteam systems. John R. Hollenbeck holds the positions of University Distinguished Professor at Michigan State University and Eli Broad University Professor at the Eli Broad Graduate School of Business Administration. Dr. Hollenbeck received his Ph.D. in Management from New York University in 1984. He served as the acting editor at Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes in 1995, the associate editor of Decision Sciences from 1999 to 2004, and the editor of Personnel Psychology from 1996 to 2002. He has published over 100 articles and book chapters on the topics of team decision-making and work motivation. According to the Google Scholar, this body of work has been cited over 30,000 times. Dr. Hollenbeck has been awarded over $10 million in external research funding, primarily from the U.S. Department of Defense and the National Science Foundation.
