The research efforts of college faculty are now available for mining on the Office of Research website. To simplify information dissemination and offer easy distribution to a wide audience, working papers authored or co-authored by College of Commerce and Business Administration faculty are available as PDF files. Abstracts are also online for a quick review of the research topic. Most papers include keywords and economics papers can be searched by JEL codes.

Recent postings include:

• Network Structure and Business Survival: The Case of U.S. Automobile Component Suppliers by Anand Swaminathan, Glenn Hoetker, and Will Mitchell

Working papers are defined as manuscripts that are in preliminary form but ready for review by colleagues, papers that have been presented at conferences, papers that have been submitted to journals and are in review, or manuscripts that were not accepted by a journal. Staff in the Office of Research collaborate with CCBA faculty to prepare the papers for posting to the web. They are also working on posting papers written prior to 2002.
