Posted by dgore
The Graziadio Business Report, the school’s online journal of applied business intelligence, offers a fall edition featuring seven provocative new articles. Of the more than 30 articles published in 2009, the five most read share interesting characteristics.
Two of the articles are collaborations between students and Graziadio professors. A paper by then-MBA student Alphonse Lordo was a finalist for the GBR student paper competition.

Three of the top five articles were authored outside Pepperdine. These articles are representative of the increasing number of scholars internationally seeking out the peer-reviewed GBR for publishing opportunities and academic qualification.
