• First Asia Harris Poll Released Comparing Attitudes in China, Hong Kong, India, Singapore and the United States

NEW YORK, March 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The economic balance in the global marketplace has been shifting for quite some time, but the importance of the various Asian economies has never been as crucial as it is now, with the world coming out of what was a truly global economic crisis.

• The Effect of Peer Evaluations On Student Reports of Learning in a Team Environment: A Procedural Justice Perspective

Student peer evaluations are a form of student voice. However, research has not determined if the positive outcomes associated with voice in other contexts (e.g., judicial system, workplace) are also present in the student team environment. We collected data from student teams in business schools in the United States and Hong Kong to examine the ways in which peer evaluation influences student teams.
