CCBA Faculty in the news

Two CCBA faculty were in the news recently:

• Joseph Broschak, assistant professor of business administration, was quoted in a January 29 News-Gazette article about communications between nonstandard workers -- those employed part-time or on a temporary basis -- and standard workers. Both groups are more positive if they believe the nonstandard workers can become standard employees. The key is communication -- letting both groups know why the employment arrangements are in place. Broschak, who has studied this issue on the financial services industry, said that employees will interpret their employment environment themselves unless information is provided for them. The News-Gazette article is not available online.

• Jan Brueckner, professor of economics, was quoted in a January 18 article in USA Today about cooperation between airlines to facilitate international travel. Brueckner frequently researches airline price structures.
