Professor Spotlight
Dr. Robert M. Morgan
Over the course of numerous semesters, Dr. Morgan has orchestrated the participation of 27 courses in the Ewance platform, engaging a total of 980 students in the art of real-world problem-solving. Together, they have navigated through 112 challenges sourced from multinational companies, startups, and SMEs, each offering a unique problem for the students to dissect and solve.
Each course, averaging 90 days, was a deep dive into the practical aspects of business and management. The International Business course, a staple at the College, was held five times, leveraging Ewance challenges to bring global business scenarios to the classroom. Organizational Behavior and Marketing Research Project courses also embraced Ewance’s approach, with challenges designed to push the envelope of traditional education.
The challenges came from a diverse set of business backgrounds — five innovative startups, two small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and two large corporations — each contributing real-world problems that required fresh, creative solutions from the bright minds at Spring Hill College.
The outcomes of these collaborations were nothing short of remarkable. Students didn’t just learn; they innovated, they strategized, and they delivered solutions that resonated with industry leaders. Notably, a sustainability strategy conceived during an International Business course was adopted by a Fortune 500 company, leading to a groundbreaking initiative in their supply chain operations.
