Department of Marketing in the SMS Annual Conference
Scholars from the Department of Marketing at Aalto University School of Business presented their research about CEO influence on the competitive behavior of the firm at the Strategic Management Society Annual Conference. The research investigates the self-regulatory psychological traits of the CEO and its consequences on the success of the competitive actions the firm undertakes.
The study finds that companies with CEO鈥檚 who have an extensive tendency to push movement from means to goals (coined a 鈥渏ust-do-it鈥 attitude), appear to initiate competitive actions that do not create value for the firm. Consequently, the study contributes to the theory of competitive dynamics, where earlier research has found ample empirical evidence for the success of competitively aggressive behavior. The research was conducted in co-operation between Aalto University, Saint Petersburg State University and Korea University.
Strategic Management Society Annual Conference is a premier research conference in strategy research. The conference attracted this year a record of 1467 competitive paper submissions from researchers in academic institutions and private firms.

I interviewed two Aalto University instructors who have used glossaries created by students as coursework in a subject course and a field-specific language course. The assignments are based on active learning methods: the glossaries are not created by the instructor, but by the learners themselves. The interview focused, among other things, on the teaching philosophy behind developing the glossary tasks, how the learning of field-specific vocabulary can be linked to the overall learning objectives of the course, and what technical solutions enable students鈥 active learning in glossary assignments.
