ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Teaching online was both a passion and an avocation of Phillip L. Beukema for close to 10 years. He taught more than 50 undergraduate and graduate online courses over a ten-year span, in subjects ranging from entrepreneurship to organizational behavior, research methods, sustainability, and management. Prior to this, the author’s career took him from the University of Southern California, where he received his doctorate, to five private colleges and universities and two public universities where he served as a faculty member and, later, as Dean of a business school and Vice President of Academic Affairs.
