Small State University is located in the eastern part of the United States and has an enrollment of about 8,000 students. The College of Business has 40 full-time and more than 30 part-time faculty members. The college is divided into five departments: Management, Marketing, Finance and Accounting, Decisions Sciences, and Information Technology. Faculty members in the Management Department are evaluated each year based on three primary criteria: 1) teaching, 2) research, and 3) service. Teaching performance is based on student course evaluations over a two-year period. Service to the university, college, profession, and community is also based on accomplishments over a two- year period. Research is based on the number of journal articles published over a three-year period. Research is based on the number of journal articles published over a three-year period. Teaching and research are considered more important than service to the university. In judging faculty performance, the department chair evaluates each professor in terms of four standards.
