CONGRATULATIONS, DR. STOUT!

DR. DAVID STOUT, Professor and John S. & Doris M. Andrews Chair in Accounting, is one of the excellent faculty members at the Williamson College of Business Administration. In the past couple of years he conducted intensive research that was published in both academic and professional journals.

One of his recent articles was published in the June 2010 edition, volume 28, of the Journal of Accounting Education, with the title:

“Negative Behaviors that Impede Learning: Survey Findings from Award-Winning Accounting Educators.”

This article was written in collaboration with Don Wygal (Rider University) as part of a line of research focused on identifying what exactly makes for exceptional teaching in accounting. A second paper from this line of research with Dr. Wygal,

“The Role of Continuous Improvement and Mentoring in the Pursuit of Teaching Effectiveness: Perspectives from Award-Winning Accounting Educators,” was published in The Accounting Educators’ Journal, Vol. 21 (2011).

Dr. Stout encourages research among his students as well, and more than that, he emphasizes in the classrooms the importance of applying the concepts learned to real-world companies. Joe Propri, YSU MBA and undergraduate accounting program alumnus, published with Professor Stout a manuscript titled:

“Cost-System Redesign: Implementing Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing (TDABC) at a Medium-Sized Electronics Company.”

It was published in the Spring 2011 issue of Management Accounting Quarterly. This paper was the result of an MBA independent study project completed by Joe Propri under the supervision of Professor Stout. They based their research on the analysis of a Youngstown-area manufacturing company.
