Faculty members from business schools within colleges and universities around the State were recognized for their published business articles in the annual Publications of New Jersey Business Faculty. A collaboration between the New Jersey Policy research Organization (NJPRO) and the Stillman School of Business at Seton Hall University, the volumes include abstracts and citations from authors at 18 of New Jersey’s colleges.

From these articles, a distinguished panel of Deans and business people, have chosen certain articles as “Bright Ideas Research Awards” recognizing outstanding research within the volume. In addition “Teaching Notes Awards” have been presented to faculty members providing valuable ideas to the classroom.
