UNL’s College of Business Administration’s executive education program will host four “Executive Power Lunches” to share the latest ideas and strategies in management.
Dennis Duchon, E.J. Faulkner professor of management, will present “Making Better Decisions,” and Tammy Beck, associate dean and associate professor of management, will present “Making Work Matter: Finding Passion at Work” at the lunches in Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska. These events are designed to introduce professionals to hot topics in a best practices format and provide businesses with ideas for professional and corporate growth.
“Today’s business professionals face complex challenges in a world of fast-paced change,” said Donde Plowman, James Jr. and Susan Stuart, endowed dean of the College of Business Administration. “Our power lunch series provides a place for cutting-edge ideas about business to meet the challenges of everyday practice.”
Duchon’s power lunch, “Making Better Decisions,” will sharpen decision-making skills by reviewing how human psychology plays into the decision making process.
