Usha Haley, W. Frank Barton Distinguished Chair in International Business, was recently interviewed by CheddarTV and Quartz on the recent problems experienced by Boeing and its turnaround strategy.

Haley was quoted in Quartz: “‘The cultural issue was a shift from quality and innovation to cost cutting,’ said Usha Haley, a professor at Wichita State University’s business school and a longtime Boeing watcher. The problem, she said, is Boeing’s outsourcing, a move that started more than 20 years ago when Boeing spun off Wichita-based Spirit AeroSystems, which builds fuselage parts. ‘When you outsource manufacturing, you lose control over quality and coordination,’ Haley said.”

The Center for International Business Advancement has been in a 50 year partnership with the independent 501(c)(3) organization, World Trade Council of Wichita (WTC). The benefits this association brings to WSU students, faculty and the community was highlighted as a global best practice in a recent book published by EFMD Global, one of three global accreditation agencies for business schools worldwide (contributing to the coveted triple-crown accreditation for business schools). The book, “Business School Internationalization in a Changing World,” is available for free download.

The book “focuses on the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI), with insights into topics such as the role of AI in corporate learning by Martin Moehrle, reshaping business education using hands-on AI by Ana Freire, and whether generative AI is a threat to the world of teaching and learning by Pär Mårtensson and John Mullins. The topic of the impact of business school research is explored by Kai Peters and Howard Thomas, and Usha Haley, Cary Cooper and Andrew Jack look at societal impact through sustainable scholarship. Chapters also focus on important aspects of working in business and business schools, such as Dan Pontefract’s discussion of loneliness both within and beyond the workplace and the importance of ‘finding your people’, and insights for developing an international scholar career presented by Miguel Córdova.”
