Aug. 7, 2015 - PRLog -- College of Business Administration Associate Dean for Graduate and International Programs and Bridgestone Chair in International Marketing Robert D. Hisrich, Ph.D., plans to teach an Executive MBA class at Vienna University of Economics and Business, Wirtschafts University Wien (WU) this September in Vienna, Austria.

Hisrich has helped create two business colleges in Russia, The Zelenograd Business School in Moscow and The International Institute of Entrepreneurship and Management in conjunction with Chuvash State. Now, Hisrich extends his global reach to Europe having taught at more than eight universities in six different countries.

“In Europe, the school system is set up differently than graduate schools in America. In Vienna, they have class from Friday to Sunday until the student’s 30 hour degree is complete.” Hisrich has been teaching entrepreneurship and innovation with the Vienna program since 2006 and has received a teaching award each year. The MBA Entrepreneurship and Innovation degree is offered in conjunction with TU Wien, Austria’s largest technical university.

·         Publishing 37 books, his latest book being International Entrepreneurship, his 38^th book is scheduled for publication on November 2015

·         Written more than 300 articles on global entrepreneurship, marketing and international business management

·         Global lecturer, keynote speaker, moderator and researcher in Europe, South Africa, Ukraine, Russia and Indonesia

“The addition of Dr. Robert Hisrich to the College of Business Administration further elevates an already successful slate of graduate programs.  His global experience as a scholar and entrepreneur helps prepare students at Kent State University to compete in a global economy,” Says Deborah F. Spake, Ph.D., Dean off the College of Business Administration.

Hisrich joined Kent State in March 2015 and serves not only as associate dean but also as the Bridgestone Chair in International Marketing.
