Distinctiveness in Christian Business Education: A Call for Faculty Educational Entrepreneurship
Wiese, Michael D.
Armstrong, Kenneth
Erickson, Todd
How do Christian business departments foster distinctive business education? Using the literature in interpretive planning and distinctiveness, it is suggested that one important way is through faculty educational entrepreneurship. By calling for faculty entrepreneurship, out of the core values and competencies of each institution/department/faculty member, there is great potential to foster distinctive education that models being “salt and light” to students. Unleashing the creative energy among the faculty at each institution can lead to distinctive business education on the campus and great diversity among the business departments/schools of the CCCU.

Mammon Worship in America: Challenging College Students’ Perceptions About Consumerism and Affluence
Surdyk, Lisa Klein
Diddams, Margaret A. D.
As American adults experience record levels of material affluence, they are giving less to religious organizations and are experiencing declines in well-being and mental health even while turning in greater numbers to religion. At the same time, a rising percentage of college students aspire to be well-off financially and overspend in ways that may constitute a modern form of mammon worship. In response, this paper provides Christian college instructors biblical and social science resources and thought-provoking discussion questions to use with their students to demonstrate that while money is not inherently evil, it cannot buy happiness, and aspiring for affluence actually leads to harmful psychological outcomes.

Doing “Good” and Doing “Well”: Shalom in Christian Business Education
Smith, Thomas M.
Steen, Todd P.
VanderVeen, Steve
As Christian business faculty members, we believe it is our purpose to prepare students both to do “good” and to do “well.” We therefore offer in this paper: (1) definitions of “good” and “well” from a particular Christian worldview and (2) theoretical propositions that connect the alumni outcomes of doing “good” and doing “well” with student outcomes and the learning environment.

Adjuncts and Mission: Maintaining Distinctives in an Era of Part-Time Faculty
Burns, David J.
Smith, Yvonne S.
Starcher, Keith
Adjunct faculty members are teaching an increasing percentage of courses in higher education. Consequently, adjunct rather than full-time faculty members are increasingly responsible for the transmission of their institutions’ missions to students. Are adjunct faculty members successful in transmitting mission to students? In Christian colleges and universities, are adjunct faculty members capable of appropriately integrating faith into their classrooms? The purpose of this paper is to review existing research and to establish an agenda for further research in this area, particularly as it relates to Christian colleges and universities.

Building a Strategy Map to Lead a School of Business in a Christian University
Duncan, John B.
Zigarelli, Michael
All academic business units are involved in the ongoing processes of strategic planning and outcomes assessment. Although these processes should be driven by important values, such as stewardship, accountability, student learning, continuous quality improvement, and transparency, in many instances academic business units simply go through the motions of planning and assessment because of accreditation or institutional requirements. A “strategy map” can be a corrective to that, making the planning process both more meaningful and more actionable. Developed and tested in world-class companies, a strategy map depicts how any organization can accomplish its mission by identifying and investing in the key drivers of performance — those initiatives and resources that have a clear cause-and-effect relationship to its desired outcomes. This paper describes how the School of Business at Charleston Southern University developed a strategy map to guide strategic planning, mobilization of resources, program assessment, and ultimately, student learning.

Missing Elements: Improving Our Preparation of Christian Students for the Business World
McMahone, Marty
The church has not always been very helpful in encouraging people grow as followers of Christ in the world of business. This paper is a qualitative study centering on interviews with 28 business leaders about how they apply their faith to their occupation. The business leaders identified issues that Christians need to be aware of in thinking about taking their faith to work. They also expressed critical concerns that they feel are not being addressed well for people who are entering the business world out of college.

Examining the Language of the Christian Business Academy
Dulaney, Emmett
The Christian Business Academy Review (CBAR) has now been in existence and published for eight years. This article examines the content and offers descriptive statistics regarding the mechanics of articles appearing within it. Comparisons to a secular counterpart are also included to ascertain how closely the two align and whether there is a need for this publication or not.

Helping Employees Save for Retirement: What is the Responsibility of Christian Higher-Education Institutions?
Geddes, Sheri
Steen, Todd P.
A great deal of evidence suggests that most people have not made adequate provision for retirement. This paper examines the responsibility of Christian higher-education institutions that have elected to provide retirement benefits as part of their employees’ overall compensation. It also analyzes the current state of retirement provision at over one hundred Christian higher-education institutions. Institutions who offer retirement benefits should design robust policies that encourage participation, a strategy that could be advantageous to both employees and institutions. While significant plan enhancements have been made, Christian higher-education institutions appear reluctant to implement automatic enrollment and escalation features in their retirement plans.

Dare We Call it a Christian Business Division?
Yates, Jere E.
The author in this article explores the question: What, if anything, distinguishes a Christian business program from a secular program? The author answers the question by suggesting some areas he believes should be distinctive. His purpose is to open up a dialogue that has not occurred at the program level, not to claim all that could be said about this topic. Most discussion has focused on the macro picture of Christian colleges or the micro picture of how one’s faith might impact how one teaches a certain discipline. The article looks at themes or emphases in business programs that aspire to describe themselves as Christian.

Grace and Discipline, Remediation and Punishment: Dealing with Graduate Business Students’ Plagiarism
Wilkerson, James M.
Filby, Ivan L.
We draw on theory, biblical Scripture, and practice in this discussion of professors’ and administrators’ response to graduate business students’ plagiarism. First, we discuss why graduate business students plagiarize, using Ajzen’s (1991) theory of planned behavior as a framework for relating antecedents to students’ intentions to plagiarize. Then we discuss professors’ and administrators’ typical assumptions and expectations regarding graduate business students’ plagiarism and explain why such assumptions and expectations may be incorrect. Thirdly, we conceptually explore the nature and appropriateness of professors’ responses to graduate business students’ plagiarism. We advocate a response that applies both grace and discipline and offer biblical support for such an approach. Finally, we describe several implications of the foregoing for graduate degree program features, policies, and practices.

Koinonia and Research: The Role of Community in Providing a Voice in the Academy
Smith, Yvonne S.
Burns, David J.
Starcher, Keith
The key activities of a university professor are generally viewed to be teaching, service, and research/scholarship. Christian business faculty members are thought to excel at the first two, but what about research/scholarship? The purpose of this paper is to address the obstacles that Christian professors may encounter as they strive to fulfill their God-given vocation of scholarship. The paper begins by examining the rationale for Christian business faculty members’ involvement in scholarly activities and explores the role of koinonia, the community that is expressed through the love of God, in overcoming obstacles to their involvement.

The Role of Christian Faculty in Restoring Accounting Professionalism
Sauerwein, Joshua A.
In light of decreasing public perception, The Pathways Commission of the American Accounting Association currently drew increased attention to the study of ethics in the accounting curriculum. In spite of decades of implementation and research, accounting education has struggled to define effective objectives and delivery methods of ethics education. Further, there is evidence accounting professors are reticent to teach
ethics courses. This paper explores the unique voice of faculty at faith-based institutions in this discussion. Given the unique incentive structures, familiarity with integration, and freedom to be more student-centered, Christian faculty have much to contribute to accounting ethics, research, and pedagogy. This paper ends with suggestions of integration techniques and research studying the impact of accounting ethics education at faithbased institutions.

An Opportunity for Influence: Collaboration Among the Christian Business Faculty Association and Christian Business Faculty at Christian and Non-Christian Universities
Bostwick, Eric D.
Lowhorn, Greg L.
Few Christians would deny that greater Christian influence is needed on the campuses of non-Christian universities, and the Christian business faculty members already at these universities are the primary agents to exert such influence. Collaboration among the Christian Business Faculty Association (CBFA), Christian business faculty at Christian universities, and Christian business faculty at non-Christian universities presents a tremendous opportunity to introduce and enhance the influence of Christ not only on university campuses, but also throughout society. In this paper, we suggest several ways that Christ’s influence can be extended through increased cooperation among those already serving him in their various spheres of influence. Among other suggestions, we encourage increased co-authorship among Christian faculty at Christian and non-Christian universities, as well as targeting of Christian and non-Christian journals with articles written from a Christian perspective. We also encourage the CBFA to operate to the full extent of its mission by leading the way to facilitate collaborative scholarship among faculty at Christian and non-Christian universities.

What Should Professors Teach about the Protestant Work Ethic?
Smith, Virgil O.
Smith, Yvonne S.
The purpose of this paper is to argue that Christian professors need to teach students to question assumptions underlying business constructs, even familiar constructs. The Protestant work ethic (PWE) is an important and influential work ethic, but after analysis, it will be shown to be neither biblical nor Protestant. By this we mean that some key definitional elements of the PWE are not Biblical and are not philosophically compatible with the theologies of Martin Luther or John Calvin. Our conclusion is that Christian professors should use the PWE as a cautionary tale to help Christian students evaluate worldviews. The authors suggest several classroom exercises to help students develop their skills in testing assumptions.

The Disciplined Writer: Two Steps to Creating Academically Legitimate Integration Papers
Black, Janice A.
Smith, Yvonne S.
The academic vocation has two parts: teaching and scholarship. As a matter of practical spirituality, there are increasing calls for Christian business professors to do research, particularly faith-integration research. This paper outlines the process by which faith-integration scholarship can be mapped on the academic writing process. Specifically, the key issues of legitimacy - quality and rigor - are discussed. Finally, we offer two practical principles for the writer of academically legitimate integration papers: The Rule of Three, and The Rule of Ten Thousand and give examples of how to apply each.

Salary Study of College Presidents and Faculty: Are Salaries for Institutions in the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities Different from Other Private Institutions?
Saunders, Kent T.
This study examines the salaries of college presidents and faculty at private colleges and universities in the United States. This study identifies factors influencing the salary of college presidents and faculty and identifies differences between salaries at member institutions of the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) and non-CCCU schools. Data was gathered from numerous sources (e.g. U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT, Marquis Who’s Who, the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, and THE CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION) in order to compare benchmark salary figures for college presidents and faculty while controlling for size, academic reputation and other institutional variables.

Hamilton, Rick A.

Institutions of higher education are under an increasing amount of pressure to prove that students can justify tuition payments in terms of monetary gain. Christian liberal arts colleges, however, have a much higher calling to prepare students for service to God’s kingdom. This paper describes recent efforts by one college to combine business education with vocational calling, shaping a curriculum and assessing its effectiveness in order to better prepare students for lives of faithfulness and service.

Blending Customer-Orientated Sales, Servant Leadership, and Biblical Principles of Servanthood into a New Sales Framework: The Serving Salesperson
McQuiston, Daniel H.
This paper blends the philosophical concepts of customer-oriented sales and servant leadership together and combines that blend with biblical principles of servanthood to propose a “serving salesperson” framework for sales. After examining the literature on customer-oriented sales and servant leadership, the paper employs the results of a qualitative survey of a sample of Christian salespeople to identify the characteristics of a “serving salesperson.” The paper then goes on to offer a set of seven practices of the serving salesperson. Biblical illustrations of each of the seven practices are then offered.

Faculty Mid-Career Crisis and Remedies
Park, Daniel
Most Christian faculty members start their careers full of excitement and thanks since they know God called them to participate in God’s work through research and teaching to restore the world. However, as time passes, many of them experience their callings get dimmer. If faculty suffer a midlife career crisis, their ability to help their students to be future Christian leaders for God’s Kingdom may be negatively impacted. This paper introduces a faculty crisis self-checklist that contains 10 symptoms and provides remedies to overcome the crisis.

Business Stakeholder Trends as Kingdom Opportunities in a Secularizing World
Iheanyi-Igwe, Agam
Veach, Timothy
“Business as mission” (BAM) has emerged as a classification of business-driven holistic mission applying a Christ-centered, multiple-bottom-line model. Secular developments in business activity often respond to stakeholder trends. Literature in Christian ministry, however, designates the secularizing age as a challenge to evangelical missions. This paper identifies needs in holistic missions in which BAM activity can take advantage of business stakeholder trends to better serve the purposes of mission activity, creating Kingdom opportunities.

Christian business programs exist not just to educate but to help students see their work and professional skills as forms of worship unto the Lord and witnessing to the world. This article demonstrates the need for Gospel-centered professionalism and puts forward five Gospel-centered professionalism standards along with professionalism assignment examples. These standards and assignments help train students in needed business and professional skills but more deeply, point students back to Jesus Christ and his Gospel.

The Principle of Maximums: Living With Enough to Give Away More Book Review
Saunders, Kent T.
Roger Stichter has composed an important book that can change the way you live. The Principle of Maximums flips the idea of non-satiation and materialism on its head. Through the creation of maximums (maximum size of house, maximum type of car, maximum amount of money spent eating out, etc.), the reader is inspired to move their focus from what they can do for themselves toward what they can do for others. The book is important reading for faculty, students, and administrators.

Christian scholars conduct quantitative research using many of the same standards and methodologies as those who operate from a secular or non-faith-based perspective. There is considerable overlap—so much so that it can often be difficult to differentiate between each when evaluating their praxis from the surface. However, one only needs to dive deeper into the research process to find the source of the Christian scholar’s purpose and methodology, as they apply their values based on a biblical worldview. This essay explores the theologically based distinctives of a Christian scholar conducting quantitative research. In simpler terms, the essay investigates the “why,” also known as the purpose, behind the research conducted and the “how,” the integrity (ethical standards and practices) embedded in the methodology of the research of the Christian scholar. These characteristics elevate the Christian researcher’s quantitative praxis to a higher, God-honoring standard.

The Professor’s Puzzle: A Review and Reflection
Snow, Keeli Rae
Michael Lawson’s 2015 book The Professor’s Puzzle: Teaching in Christian Academics provides an excellent overview of how to develop a personal philosophy of teaching and curriculum that incorporates God’s love. This article discusses Christian education goals, curriculum and teachers, learning theories, and relationships. Also discussed are insights into the struggle of incorporating these ideas and examples of where this author has seen the ideas in Lawson’s work incorporated in the classroom.

“Grandpa, Wake Up! It’s the 21st Century!” An Opportunity for Gen Zs to Educate the Baby Boomers
Redmer, Timothy A. O.
Redmer, Alyssa
Redmer, Kaylee
Redmer, Mayah
Redmer, Miriam
Baby Boomer teachers are now beginning to teach Generation Z students, many of whom were born in the 21st century. These students have grown up with state-of-the art technology and social media, which is a much different environment than many of their Baby Boomer teachers. The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast the viewpoints of both the Baby Boomer teachers and the Generation Z students. Initially, the study focused on the characteristics of the various generations from the Silent Generation to Generation Z. This knowledge formed the basis of an empirical survey to further understand characteristics, beliefs, skills, and practices of Baby Boomers and Generation Zs and how they can better communicate with each other and coexist in an educational environment. With the COVID-19 pandemic, the real-time application of a new teaching model, using much greater technology at all levels of education, became an instant reality. The Generation Z authors were able to provide a firsthand experience in this paper on the impact of these new teaching methods on their educational experience. This paper can serve as a guide going forward on how educational institutions can effectively adapt to real-world situations in consideration of the different generations of individuals being involved.

Christian-Owned Companies: What Does It Look Like When a Follower of Jesus Runs a Business? A Book Review
Chase, Michael K.
If our lives are to reflect the spirit and nature of Christ, it must do so beyond the walls of church on Sunday morning. That spirit and nature of Christ must spill over into our daily lives, including our vocational pursuits. As an instructor, I believe it is my responsibility to provide real-world examples of faith at work in a business setting. Zigarelli’s (2019) newest book titled Christian-Owned Companies provides some great principles and examples of what a business “…looks like when a follower of Jesus runs a business…” (p. 1).

Three Characteristics of the New Generation in College: Spiritual and Classroom Implications
Smith, Yvonne
LaShaw, Margie N.
Cultures change, and as cultures change, so do students. The students now entering college classrooms have a different worldview than the millennials did, and the differences have spiritual and classroom implications that professors should take note of. In this paper, we first explore three social forces that have imprinted the new iGeneration and contributed to its distinctives. We then discuss three main distinctives of the iGeneration and suggest spiritual and classroom techniques to successfully educate this generation.

Exit Strategies For Business School Deans
Finch, J. Howard
Carson, Chad
McIntyre, Faye
While significant thought and discussion have been devoted toward becoming a business school dean, little attention has focused on exiting a successful deanship. This paper evaluates dean turnover, highlighting differences between intended versus actual exit strategies using survey data. We delineate the various exit options and address the advantages and disadvantages associated with each. Current and prospective business school deans, as well as university administrators, may utilize these findings to better prepare for leadership transitions.

The Theology Diamond: A Strategic Framework for Christian Business Faculty
Kirkpatrick, Nathan
White, Darin
Based on the “Strategy Diamond” by Hambrick and Fredrickson (2001), the Theology Diamond is a strategic framework for Christian business faculty. This strategy helps Christian business faculty live intentionally for the glory of God and allows Christian institutions to compete by having business faculty that live out Gospel-centered values. Five elements of the Theology Diamond are presented (arenas, vehicles, differentiators, sequencing, and economic logic), and a strategic framework of Gospel living and working is presented.

The Possibility for Harm Present When Institutions Misrepresent Student Body Diversity
Dulaney, Emmett
Voss, Matthew
Perleoni, Holly
In an attempt to attract students, many institutions of higher learning are manipulating their marketing materials to make it appear as if their student populations are more diverse than they actually are. While organizations of all types often portray users of their products and services as idealized in order to appeal to a broad base or desired demographic, this rarely leads to harm. In the case of university and college students of diversity, however, such misrepresentation can lead to harm if they choose to attend an institution under the belief that they will be surrounded by peers and discover something altogether different once they arrive. Such distortion can, in turn, hurt the institution’s reputation and retention and should be avoided.

Advising Christian Business Students in an Age of Corporate Social Activism
Kocur, Richard
Attitudes conflicting with biblical teaching have become common in corporate boardrooms resulting in corporate social activism. This trend challenges Christian business professors who advise students seeking job opportunities. By applying Herrity’s proposed theory of faith integration, a framework for advising Christian business students in an age of corporate social activism will be proposed. Encouragement for business faculty to build on the proposed advising approach will also be provided.

Reburn, James
The temporary nature of the appointment to serve as an interim dean influences the myriad duties of academic leadership, including strategic planning, faculty and staff development, academic program development, and fundraising and public relations. Whether or not the interim decides to become a candidate for the permanent position is an important consideration. This paper examines what those appointed as interim dean can expect, including challenges all deans face and those unique to interim deans.
