Marketing Faculty
Like information and technology, marketing is undergoing a continuing revolution. The needs and interests of consumers and corporations are evolving, and the means of informing them about products and services are changing dramatically. Owen has met this revolution with one of its own. The school’s marketing faculty is essentially a new entity, bridging the gap between the quantitative and behavioral, presenting a cutting edge synthesis to a new generation of students.
