Senior to Present at National Conference

International Business senior Tessa Aminetzah has been chosen to represent SAM’s manuscript titled, “TeamUp, Connecting Innovation across Industry Borders” in a presentation at the Academy of Business Research Conference on November 1-3, 2017, in San Antonio, Texas. This is the second time that SAM has targeted this research conference and been able to send representatives and hold presence at the conference.

Dr. Qian Xiao, one of EKU’s management professors comments on the success of SAM, “This national conference provides a great opportunity for SAM members to gain invaluable experience sharing the work they are doing to advance scholarship and research in management. This also helps build awareness toward and expand influences from SAM@EKU. No doubts that SAM will be well represented by Tessa Aminetzah!”

Tessa has big plans for her future. She will be moving to Jersey City, N.J., in January for a 5-month graduation internship in corporate development. In addition, she plans on writing her dissertation with the hope of graduation in June in the Netherlands. Once she has graduated from both universities she plans on getting a master’s degree or staying in the field of corporate development/management consulting.

Tessa elaborates on the opportunity she has been given to present her research this month, “The opportunity to develop my own business concept has been a challenging journey that involved a constant change of mind, but with a clear vision at heart of accelerating and connecting innovation. I am grateful and excited to present my project next week at the Academy of Business Research in order to gain valuable feedback, to show how TeamUp would change the way industries employ innovation, and to show that hard work pays off.”
