About

Dr. Dan Slater attended Central Bible College with the goal of becoming a Pastor like his father. After graduating he went to work for a local church as their Business Administrator and realized he enjoyed the business side of his job and decided to earn his MBA. Instead of going back to work in the church after his MBA, Dr. Slater followed the Lord’s call to become a professor and began his Ph.D. at the University of Arkansas. In 2010 Dr. Slater graduated and came to 鶹Ƶ as a Professor of Management. During his time here, Dr. Slater has enjoyed discovering just how different individuals are and how those differences impact leadership decisions and organizational outcomes. When he is not in the classroom, Dr. Slater enjoys running, cycling, CrossFit, sci-fi movies and TV, and traveling with his wife of 22 years and their three sons.

Awards

  • Forbes recognizes research by Daniel Slater in his article entitled, "The Future of the Planet in the Hands of MBAs: An Examination of CEO MBA Education and Corporate Environmental Performance," published in the Academy of Management Learning and Education Journal. Forbes praises Slater for actually measuring the performance of CEOs with an MBA when the argument of ethically vile CEO MBAs consisted only of "point of view" debates. Slater and his coauthors found that companies with CEOs with an MBA generally did better in terms of corporate environmental performance. These findings were inconsistent with the Harvard and Forbes debates raging after the fall of the investment banks.
