  • Writer’s Block

    Writer’s block happens at the most inopportune time. It happens when the blank page is staring back, glaring, demanding that words be placed upon its pristine surface. It happens when the pen is held precisely over the falsely-aged pages of the handmade Italian leather journal purchased just for the reason of inspiration and imagination. It…

  • Black Doctorates Clustered in Education, Ed.D. at Risk

    Originally posted on Black on Campus: In Feburary a report on Black graduate students in the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education moved me to blog on the clustering of Black graduate students in the fields of Education and Business.

  • Grading the Media

    It was one of the most “enjoyable” panel discussions I attended in the wake of Mike Brown’s murder on August 9, 2014.

  • So, Really, What is the difference between Sales and Marketing?

    There is a difference between sales and marketing.  Really, there is.  Even if job boards will show up lots of commission sales jobs under a search for “marketing.” My degrees are in  marketing and management (undergrad) and marketing (grad).  I taught graduate and undergraduate students.  One of the biggest and most confusing discussions among students…

  • Mindspace to Heartspace

    Mindspace, that illusive place that companies want to occupy, to “own”, to track, to manage, to predict, and to serve. Marketing engages in research, observation, and “gut feelings” to make conclusions about how customers interact with our product, brand, or service.  Is Coca-Cola recognized worldwide and beloved by many because of its taste? Or is…
