    (IBRC Kelley, 2022) Mohler, Steven H.; Brewer, Ryan M.; Hester, Jason; IUPUC Business
    As a durable goods manufacturing-based economy, the Columbus metropolitan statistical area (MSA) experienced significant economic volatility in 2020 and 2021 due to global supply chain issues and fluctuations in consumer spending related to the pandemic. Columbus concluded 2021 with lower unemployment than 2020 and with slightly higher GDP. During 2022, the unemployment rate dropped below 2.0% on three occasions. Current expectations are for local economic output to increase during 2022 in light of vehicle production and sales projections. This article explores the 2022 data, as well as what is anticipated for 2023.

    (IGI Global, 2022) Jones, Kevin; Saba, Nazish; IUPUC Business
    In this chapter, the authors discuss ethical hiring practices in the digital age and argue for the necessity of ethical hiring processes. An examination of hiring before and during the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the increased use of digital technologies to aid the ethical hiring process. A particular focus is on the increased use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools to aid in screening and selection. The authors investigate unethical hiring practices, showing the potential adverse outcomes which may result. They conclude the chapter with a model and a set of guidelines to illustrate the components that enable ethical hiring processes and incorporate the use of AI.

    Helping scholars advance their research agenda
    (2022) Killian, Larita J.; Garcia Agreda, Sergio; Pérez Escobar, Mariana; IUPUC Business
    We developed a qualitative research workshop to help full-time and part-time faculty develop or recharge their skills and advance their research agenda. Though originally designed for faculty, the workshop attracted graduate students and administrators (many who serve in dual roles). The workshop is condensed, comprising several hours of individual preparation and ten hours of group activities, and it covers the following learning objectives: position your research question within a research paradigm, identify and manage ethical issues, select a qualitative model for your research, plan data collection techniques, collect and code your data, and identify strategies for success. Though intended to be inspirational and motivational, this goal is also realistic and relevant, and has proven to boost qualitative research activity. Based on currently available evidence, the workshop is effective in helping faculty, administrators, and graduate students advance their research agenda. We anticipate this conclusion will be sustained as systematic evaluation data becomes available.
