George E. Smith, PhD

My name is George E. Smith. I am a Professor of Management at USCB. 

I received my PhD in Public Administration at the Nelson A. Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy at the University of Albany (SUNY). I earned a Master of Public Administration (MPA) at Brigham Young’s Marriott School of Management and a BS degree in Sociology. In addition to these academic accomplishments, I have worked as a Programmer/Analyst in Information Resource Management-Systems Design and Development at the New York State Department of Civil Service and a Training Specialist with the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board in Albany, NY. 

I am an active contributor in my field and profession and have authored a book, several scholarly articles, and collaborated with colleagues and peers on many presentations and symposia. I have also been engaged in my discipline as a frequent reviewer and contributor to the Organizational Behavior Teaching Society (OBTS), the Academy of Management (AOM), and the Eastern Academy of Management (EAM). My primary research interests include management education and pedagogy, management history, organizational culture, business ethics, and small group dynamics and development.  

I joined the USCB faculty in 2015. Most semesters, I can be found in USCB classrooms delivering courses in human resource management, business ethics, and entrepreneurship.
