Business advice from a “propeller head”
Michael Cox '77 is a self-described “propeller head.” “I’ve always been fascinated by airplanes.” His passion for his work is hard to miss as he shared some of his career highlights with Mays students, such as saving an airline from going under in one week, or remaking South African Airways into a profitable business with a new corporate culture.

A celebration of entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurs from Thailand, Texas, and many places in between, representing an array of industries from construction to computer technology, gathered in the Zone Club at Kyle Field on the Texas A&M University campus to celebrate the things they had in common: 1) They were all Aggies. 2) They were all extremely successful business people.

Texas A&M Executive MBA Program recognized by BusinessWeek
BusinessWeek has recently recognized the Executive MBA Program at Texas A&M University’s Mays Business School among the world’s best. The 2009 BusinessWeek rankings place the program among the top 50 in the world, based on surveys of graduates and program directors.

Best of both worlds
Mays Business School is a large place. Because we are large (we have more than 4,200 undergraduate business students), our students have access to leading corporations, guest speakers in classes, and the Aggie network during their studies at Mays.

The future of business: Innovation, customization, and connectivity
In his address as the inaugural speaker in the Dean’s Distinguished Scholar Lecture Series at Mays, C.K. Prahalad spoke about the transition from a firm-centric society to a consumer-centric society—one where consumers dictate what products are made and at what price they are sold, and businesses respond with products tailored specifically to the needs of their audience.

A legacy of leadership, the future of research
The past, present, and future of Mays Business School were embodied in the three guests of honor as the Benton Cocanougher Chair in Business was dedicated at a luncheon on October 23. Special guests by invitation of Dean Jerry Strawser were in attendance, as well as the men of the hour: Lowry Mays ’57, founder of Clear Channel Communications and benefactor of Mays Business School; Benton Cocanougher, dean of Mays Business School from 1987 to 2001 and current dean emeritus and professor emeritus at Texas A&M; and Luis Gomez-Mejia, professor of management and inaugural holder of the Cocanougher Chair.

H-E-B partners with Mays to provide memorable business lessons

They addressed more than 2,300 students in 20 classes from agribusiness to accounting, giving practical lessons on topics such as assortment, marketing and promotions, and innovation.

Retail: moving forward
Rising from the economic ashes as the holiday season approaches, store owners are realizing that the retail landscape has changed dramatically. New tactics are needed to woo customers who don’t shop the same way as they did before the recession.

Two Mays faculty members honored for research contributions
