New chair in Black School of Business emphasizes innovation

Jeffrey K. Pinto, professor of management, has been named to the Andrew Morrow and Elizabeth Lee Black chair in management technology in the Sam and Irene Black School of Business at Penn State Erie. In his new appointment, Pinto will concentrate his research and teaching on the management of technological and organizational innovation and the change needed to achieve global competitiveness, particularly in manufacturing. The chair was created in 2003 when Penn State Erie announced a $20 million endowment gift from the Black family and named the School of Business in honor of Sam and Irene Black. Part of that gift was used to create the Black Family Faculty Fund, which established four endowed chairs. The Andrew Morrow and Elizabeth Lee Black chair in management is the first of the four to be filled. Read the full story at http://www.pserie.psu.edu/newscal/news2004/november-pintochair.htm
