business. DeGroote operates at two campuses, the McMaster University main
campus in Hamilton, Ontario and a new state-of-the-art facility in nearby
Burlington, Ontario, housing the MBA and executive programs. The successful

and/or post-graduate courses as well as teaching in the School's
professionally oriented executive development programs and/or Director's

publication of research results in major scholarly outlets, and excellent
instruction in the classroom. Proficiency in English is required.

an ability to apply this knowledge to important Strategic Management
problems. DeGroote has a strong research-oriented faculty that is
