hen the readers in Washington state unfolded their

soggy editions of the Puget Sound Business Journal,
they were probably a little surprised to see ads featuring two successful graduates of the Culverhouse College of
Commerce: Shaun Alexander and Paul Clark.
Alexander, the high-profile running back for the Seattle
Seahawks, earned a marketing degree from the Culverhouse
College of Commerce. He also won the NFLs Most Valuable
Player award for the past season in leading the Seahawks to
the Super Bowl, and he led the league in
rushing and touchdowns scored.
Clark is chairman and CEO of ICOS Corporation, a
Bothell, Washington-based biotechnology company. Through
a partnership with Eli Lilly and Company and Lilly ICOS
LLC, ICOS is marketing its first product, tadalafil (Cialis),
for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. ICOS is working to
develop treatments for other unmet medical needs such as
benign prostatic hyperplasia, hypertension, pulmonary arterial
hypertension, cancer, and inflammatory diseases.
Why the Puget Sound Business Journal? The purpose of
advertising, says Rich Sullivan, president of Sullivan-St. Clair
Marketing/Public Relations in Mobile, is to differentiate. To
stand apart from the sea of competitors is good. To stand apart
in a manner that resonates with your target audience is nirvana. So if your competitors are zigging, youve got to zag.
Sullivan-St. Clair has created and placed the series of
Culverhouse College of Commerce newspaper and magazine
ads now being published in the Wall Street Journal and other
local, state, and national publications.
This is the sort of approach that helps the business school
solidify its national image, Sullivan said.
Ads are scheduled to run in Alabama Alumni magazine,
Business Alabama, BizEd (the magazine of the AACSB, the
business school accrediting organization), and various newspapers around the country.
Other new ads feature Marillyn Hewson, president of
Kelly Aviation LP, a joint venture between Lockheed Martin
Aircraft and Logistics Centers and GE Aircraft Engines
(GEAE); Tom Hough, Southeast managing partner for Ernst
and Young and a member of the College Board of Visitors;
Katie Marchiony, field associate with Stockamp and Associates

DeansMessage
Dear alumni and friends:
he Culverhouse College of Commerce has had another outstanding

year, one marked by exceptional student quality and achievements
and superb performance by faculty and staff.
Our studentsabout 25 percent of the total students enrolled at The
University of Alabama choose the business schoolare among the brightest and most accomplished, not only at UA but also across the nation.
Our faculty members are listed among the most accomplished
researchers, and their work is published in the worlds most influential
and prestigious journals. And our staff members, the ones who perform
the day-to-day duties to keep the College the envy of the institution, are
without peer.
The generosity and commitment of our alumni, friends, faculty, and
staff have enabled us to build a world-class business school and to form a
shared vision of all the great possibilities we have before us.
That is why the next several months will be a crucial time for the
University and the College. The University of Alabama has embarked on a
major capital campaign, the theme of which is Our Students, Our Future.
Indeed, our students are our future. Our states leaders remind us regularly of
the need to build and maintain an educational system that will permit Alabama to
continue to compete on a global basis for industry and business.
To that end, we have decided to devote most of the resources we will
receive in the upcoming campaign to two areas: scholarships and faculty support. A great business school must have great students.
Great students must have great teachers. The school must
be able to keep both. And I am sure that each of you is
aware of at least one deserving student who, if properly
educated, will return to his or her community many
times over the cost of that students education.
The nations business schools are facing a shortage of doctoral-qualified faculty. Only 1,035 business doctoral degrees were conferred in 2003, far below the demand.
Increasing the pressure is the fact that as many as a quarter of the
new business doctoral-degree holders will choose careers outside business
education. So it is becoming increasingly important that we retain our faculty
through adequate compensation, challenging students, and modern facilities.
Gifts to the school come in all sizes, and each is critical to our vision and mission. Our gifts come in many
forms: scholarship endowments, bequests, and insurance policies. But all are important, gratefully accepted, and
urgently needed to keep pace with the competition.
As our drive to reach our goal of $86 million progresses, if you have not already contributed, please consider how you can make a difference in the lives of our students and advance the mission of your College. This
is your opportunity to help ensure that our students receive the quality education they so richly deserve and that
our futureyours, ours, and that of the Universityis secure.
Respectfully,
J. Barry Mason, Dean, and

faculty members are playing an
important role in The University of
Alabamas new Bama Technology Incubator.

Dr. Louis Marino, associate professor
of entrepreneurship and strategic management and the head of the C&BAs Alabama
Entrepreneurship Institute, and Dr. Benjamin
Powell, assistant professor of management, are
serving as advisors to the venture.

Marino and Powell are involved in several
ways. In addition to serving on the board of
directors, the two professors are setting up a
business plan competition and are encouraging students and alumni to form teams and to
become involved.

The objective of the business plan competition is to involve students in a real-life learning experience and to provide a way for a small
start-up company to acquire a viable business
plan without a large expense. Teams entering
the competition are limited to five members,
and at least one member must be affiliated with
one of the three universities in The University
Dr. Benjamin Powell

of Alabama System. This includes companies

founded by alumni who have graduated within
the last five years.

We will invite students and alumni from
the UA system to submit business plans. Well
invite several of them to
come to campus to
present their
plans, and
the winner will
receive
cash and
free incubation
services,
Marino
said.

Existing
businesses are eligible
but only if they have previously received less than $25,000 in funding
and have earned less than $100,000 in gross
revenue. Rules for entering the competition can
be found via the Internet (http://www.bama.
ua.edu/~bizplancomp/rules/rules.htm).

We try to provide a lot of services that
would be cost prohibitive to a start-up company, said Dr. Daniel Daly, director of both
technology transfer at UA and the Universitys
Alabama Institute for Manufacturing
Excellence, which houses the technology incubator. Just as the name incubator implies, its
a protective shield that enables the company to
start out with some insulation.

Dr. Keith McDowell, vice president of
research at UA, said he envisions a time when
obtaining patents on faculty discoveries and
partnering with venture capitalists to launch
start-up companies become more routine for
campus researchers.

We want The University of Alabama
to learn how to do this as a regular course of
business, McDowell said. Research was once
conducted as part of the lightbulb generation

mindset, and patentable discoveries focused on
complete inventions developed by researchers,
McDowell said. Thats no longer the case.

This is the knowledge generation,
McDowell said. The creation of new knowledge
is an intellectual property.

One example of an agreement between UA
and a private company, centering on new knowledge developed at the University, can be found at
Cr3 Inc.

Discoveries led by Dr. John Vincent, professor of chemistry at UA, led to multiple patents
related to chromiums potential use in treatment
of diabetes and other diseases. The patents have
been licensed to the Birmingham-based company, led by CEO Michael Alder. The company
is pursuing use of the technology in a vitamin
supplement.
According to the incubators developers, the Bama Technology Incubator is
designed to promote economic growth
by boosting the number of tech companies in Alabama, by administering
programs to assist those companies,
and by facilitating access to technologies
developed in UAs laboratories.

Faculty members and researchers with
patentable and marketable techniques and
inventions are eligible to work with the incubator,
regardless of their areas of expertise, Daly said.
It doesnt have to be tied to a technology that
would typically be housed in the AIME, Daly
said.

Leaders of the incubator include Daly, Dr.
Marianne Woods, associate vice president for
research at UA, and Michael Spearing, attorney
in UAs Office of Counsel.

Ideas considered for inclusion within the
incubator are first reviewed by a panel to gauge
the marketability of the discovery, Daly said. If
the discovery is deemed to have potential to lead
to a reasonable chance of business success and if
the researcher then agrees to join, the incubators
representatives will attempt to sell the intellectual
property to a potential investor. Fifty percent of
revenue streams generated by the company are
returned to the researchers whose discoveries led
to the launching of the company.

UA researchers who agree to partner with
the incubator serve as scientific advisors to the
company, but they do not serve as the companys
business managers, Daly said. We do not want
these highly productive faculty members to
ResearchNews
become business managers; we want them to remain productive
faculty members.

In addition to the intellectual property and access to the brain power
behind it, companies can benefit from the partnership through the business model UA can develop for them, through the potential of leasing lab
space to launch a pilot production facility, and through the state-of-the art
communication capabilities of the AIME facility, including high-speed
Internet and wireless capabilities and videoconferencing.

Additional support for start-ups includes access to faculty members
such as Dr. Marino and Dr. Powell, who review applications for the incubator and can help review and work on existing business plans. According
to Marino, We also intend to have teams of M.B.A. students and undergraduates do market research and business model development with the
new firms.

Start-ups can also hire UAs students, including those who may have
worked closely with the researcher whose idea is being marketed. This is
another huge selling point, Daly said, as is the opportunity for the additional entrepreneurial training UA can offer a start-up.

In an ideal scenario, after three years in start-up mode, the company
would leave the protection of UA and become self-supporting at an offcampus location not too far away, Daly said.

We will strongly encourage the economic opportunities of this
area, Daly said.

Ventures such as those the incubator seeks can be beneficial to UA as
they can allow the University to recoup some of the costs it invests in seeking patents and business partners. Perhaps more importantly, Daly said, a
successful incubator program enhances the schools stature in the eyes of
productive faculty and potential faculty.

Updated Alumni Job Board adds new features

The new Alumni Job Board, in operation for about a year, offers
a free avenue for posting rsums and employment opportunities.

The Alumni Job Board (www.uaalumnijobs.org) is coordinated jointly by the Culverhouse College of Commerce Career Center
Satellite Office and The University of Alabamas Career Center.

Beverly Barze, who joined the Culverhouse College of Commerce as senior career consultant in the Career Center Satellite
Office last fall, said the new board brings a lot of new features.

We visited with a number of employers and with people
seeking new or first-time positions and received a number of suggestions aimed at improving the functionality of the job board
and making it far more useful. I think we have made some major
improvements that both employers and job seekers will appre
ciate, she said.

Barze, an alumna of The University of Alabama, with both
an undergraduate degree in marketing and a master of arts in marketing management from the business school, said employers are
invited to visit the site, register, post openings, and search rsums
at no cost. After registration, employers can complete the online
job listing form in two minutes or less. The positions are approved
and posted shortly afterwards.

Students can also register for free at the new website. After
registration, they can upload rsums, apply to job postings, find
on-campus events, sign up for interviews, and search for a mentor.

Barze said she is excited to have a new system in place that
will facilitate communication between students and employers.

We recognized the need to use available technology to help
us, our students, and our employers.
Some of the new systems features for alumni and job seekers are
direct posting/editing of rsums
searchable jobs database by keyword of location
ability to blind a rsum to maintain confidentiality
automatic notification when a job is posted in the applicants area of interest

Employers who sponsor the job board for 90 days will have
their openings pushed to the top of the list and will have a banner
on the website. Jobs will be automatically removed on a predetermined date to avoid having stale jobs posted on the site.

The website can be accessed using any Web browser from any
location.

Aging Infrastructure

on efforts to improve

systems is vital for public
safety and for the states
economic development.
10 Culverhouse College of Commerce
Dr. David Hale, director of UAs management information systems programs

and director of the Aging Infrastructure
Systems Center for Excellence (AISCE),
said the center will be a premier innovator and knowledge disseminator, working
with numerous agencies, including federal
and state governments, private industries,
and Public municipalities. Coordinating best practice techniques and applying
state-of-the-art technologies, the center
will influence how the nation improves its
infrastructure systems.
The devastation of the city of New
Orleans stands as a stark example of
how our infrastructurewater, sewer,
electricity, transportation, and communicationforms the essential foundation of
our economy. Hurricane Katrinas aftermath has brought national attention to the
need to manage infrastructure and to the
dire consequences of neglect.
U.S. infrastructure needs are estimated to be $1.6 trillion over the next
five years. However, funding levels for
infrastructure are falling short and creating
a crisis. Our aging infrastructure is deteriorating faster than we are restoring it.
Traditionally, infrastructure systems
focused on bridges, roads, sewers, water
systems, and power grids. UAs new center
will also incorporate aerospace vehicles,
health care, homeland security, labor/
workforce, military systems, manufacturing, and information technology. All
these components need to work together
smoothly to build better infrastructure.
As infrastructure systems age, the
safety and operational risks increase dramatically, Hale said.
Our primary research will focus on
how to improve areas from diminished
productivity and increased manufacturing
costs to operational safety and job retention, he explained.
The center recently received $1 million federal funding from U.S. Senator
Richard Shelby, R-Ala., as part of a $388
billion bill that details federal spending for
fiscal 2005.
In addition to federal funding, the

new center will be supported through a
partnership with Intergraph Corporation,
a world leader in developing software and
services for the management of complex
information. Intergraph, headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, provides
advanced infrastructure system support
to governments and businesses in more
than 100 countries.
The Aging Infrastructure Systems Center for Excellence is currently working with
the Alabama Department of Transportation
to investigate aging asset management programs, with NASA to develop knowledge
management systems, and with the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers and utility companies to define joint projects. Partnering
with Intergraph Corporation, the AISCE is
pursuing contracts in the area of aging aerospace vehicles and manufacturing facilities.
In these current projects, the work focuses
on intelligent command and control of
aging management programs using largescale modeling efforts to define the effect
aging has on performance metrics and to
predict the effect of intervention on specific
performance measures.
The AISCE has an active knowledge
transfer agenda focused on the needs of
many audiences, including academics, professionals who execute aging management
programs, executives who authorize tactical
plans and approve funding, and consultants.
The AISCE projects engage faculty
and students from aerospace, chemical,
civil, electrical, environmental, industrial,
mechanical, and metallurgical engineering;
computer science; accounting; economics;
information systems; management; operations management; and statistics.
AISCE research focuses on multifunctional, data-intensive model-based processes,
tools, and techniques that focus on systemlevel, systemwide, and project-level life
extensions to infrastructure systems.
As a clearinghouse for best practices,
the AISCE emphasizes cross-industry
application of engineered processes and
techniques that can be used to prolong infrastructure life, performance, and security.

Institute of Business Intelligence uses the

latest tools for data handling
eed your data cleaned? Analyzed? How about prepared

and aggregated?
The Institute of Business Intelligence (IBI), headed by Dr. J.
Michael Hardin, professor of statistics, can do all that and more.
The IBI is an applied-research institute that partners with the latest
vendors and industry users of enterprise products covering the
entire spectrum of the business-intelligence process in general, and
the knowledge discovery and data-mining process in particular.
The IBI employs an extensive suite of tools used for data
cleansing, data-quality analysis, data preparation and aggregation,
statistical analysis, data-mining predictive modeling, and data
visualization. In addition, the IBI has experienced academic
and student staff extensively trained in the practical use of these
technologies. The IBI serves as a key focal point for University
and industry partnerships in applied research in data mining and
knowledge discovery.
In 2002, the IBI began a partnership with SAS, a leader in
business intelligence and data-mining technologies. The partnership focuses on business research that could slow the pace of
money laundering, a major global problem. Money laundering
is used by drug cartels and terrorist cells. Each year, 10 students
in statistics and data mining work

on investigating questions posed
by financial institutions using SAS
software to detect money laundering and score credit reports and to
perform other data-mining tasks.
In addition to its partnership
with SAS, the IBI has partnered
with SouthTrust Bank to perform
risk-analysis research and with
AmSouth Bank to evaluate creditquality issues. In 2005, the IBI also
teamed up with The University of
Dr. J. Michael Hardin
Alabama at Birmingham Health
Systems in a SAS-sponsored pilot
study. The study, conducted by UA M.B.A. students, uses SAS
data- and text-mining solutions to examine 12,000 of the seven
million records in UAB Health Systems patient database.
We have had visits by other banks that are interested in what
we do here, Hardin said. We want to reach out more and establish industry partnerships.
The Supply Chain Management Initiative

The Supply Chain Management Initiative
which was formed in 2003 by the operations
management, supply chain management, and
marketing faculty, is responsible for creating the
new M.B.A. program concentration in supply
chain and operations management.
The supply chain management curriculum provides students with the analytical and
managerial foundation needed to satisfy the
needs of business partners and the consumer.
Currently, there are nine students from the
M.B.A. class of 2007 in the program. Students
are required to take 28 hours of coursework in
their concentration. The M.B.A. program requires
a total of 60 hours to complete the degree.
The initiative, which crosses the two disciplines of operations management and supply
chain management, provides graduate
students with extensive knowledge of the
broad, comprehensive field of supply chain
management. Dr. Chuck Sox, professor
and director of operations management,
works closely with supply chain management and marketing

faculty Dr. Alexander Ellinger and Dr. R. Glenn Richey on the
Supply Chain Management Initiative.
Although the number of students in the program is strong,
Sox would like to see more undergraduate students take part.
We are working closely with the M.B.A. office and faculty to
follow up on any students interested in the program, Sox said. He
would like to see 15 to 20 more students in the program as well
as more faculty members to teach. In an effort to keep up with the
needs of the students in the program, most supply chain courses
will be offered online by the fall of 2006.
Although the initiative has only been around for two years,
several companies are interested in what it is doing, Sox said.
We have companies that are very eager to work with us, he
said. A few of the initiatives corporate contacts include Wal-Mart,
CVS, Rite Aid, FedEx, Adtran, and Panalpina. The corporate
contacts are important because all students in the program are
required to do an internship.
Even though the supply chain concentration is offered as a part
of the M.B.A. program, students in operations management and marketing are able to take elective courses in supply chain management.

Schlesinger voted president-elect of

European risk and insurance group
arris Schlesinger, professor of

finance and Samford Chair of
Insurance at the Culverhouse
College of Commerce at The University of
Alabama, was voted president-elect for the
European Group of Risk and Insurance
Economists (EGRIE). He will assume
the presidency for one year, starting in
September 2006.
EGRIE was founded in 1973 by the
Geneva Association, a global association
of insurance executives. EGRIE consists
of researchers who meet once a year to
discuss their research on insurance-related
topics. Past meetings have attracted such
notable economists as Nobel Prize winners Kenneth Arrow, Joseph Stiglitz, and
Robert Merton. In 1990, with support of
the Geneva Association, EGRIE started
its own journal, The Geneva Papers on Risk
and Insurance Theory. Schlesinger was the
founding editor, along with co-editor Henri
Louberg of the University of Geneva.
In 2003, EGRIE adopted a more formal organizational structure and elected its
first set of officers. Schlesinger is the fourth

president of EGRIE and the first nonEuropean to be elected to the position.
It might seem a bit strange to an
outsider, Schlesinger said, but over
the past 20 years I have spent an average of over one day per week in Europe.
Moreover, I have only missed a couple
of EGRIE meetings since my firsttime attendance at the 1982 meeting in
Geneva, Switzerland.
Outgoing EGRIE president and
professor at the University of Toulouse,
Christian Gollier, adds, Harris played
an important role in the creation of an
active group of researchers in Europe. The
energy that he spent in the early years of
the group and in the time since then has
been instrumental to bring the group up
to the excellent reputation it now has.
I will always remember Harris fighting
ill-conceived models, while concurrently
supporting good ideas and helping inexperienced researchers during the seminars
organized by EGRIE.
Schlesinger was elected while attending

the inaugural World Risk and Insurance
Economics Congress (WRIEC) held in Salt
Lake City in August. This World Congress
replaced the 2005 annual meetings for
three academic insurance associations:
EGRIE, the American Risk and Insurance
Association, and the Asia-Pacific Risk and
Insurance Association. These three groups
are considering holding a World Congress
periodically, such as every four or five years.
In addition to being the president-elect
for EGRIE, Schlesinger also served as president of the American Risk and Insurance
Association for 199798.
Beta
Alpha Psi chapter earns superior rating
By Chrishan Emonina
he word superior means of higher

rank, quality, or importance. But
to the members of The University
of Alabamas Alpha Beta chapter of Beta
Alpha Psi, who achieved a superior status for the second straight year from the
National Honorary Accounting Fraternity,
superior also means hard work.
The superior status means that the
chapter members participated in enough
professional and service activities to attain a
specified number of points, said Dr. Kathy
Bindon, Beta Alpha Psi faculty advisor.
Bindon credits the student leaders for
helping the chapter achieve another year
of success in 2005. The chapters success
is in the hands of the officers, she said.
Without student leaders, we wouldnt be
able to achieve this success.
All chapters that achieved superior

status were recognized in the 2005
Beta Alpha Psi annual report and at
the annual meeting. Each chapter also
received a $400 check funded by the
KPMG Foundation that will be used
for scholarships for chapter members.
To achieve the superior status, 80
percent of Alpha Betas 56 members
had to have a combined 40 hours
worth of activities. Some of the activities included making bags filled with
personal essentials for UA students
displaced by Hurricane Katrina, passing out breast cancer awareness ribbons,
and offering free tutoring to accounting
students. The chapter also conducted a
toy drive and sponsored a needy family
for Christmas.
Louisa Munoz, chapter president,

said she is optimistic that the chapter will
achieve another superior status this year.
We have great members who go above
and beyond when they need to, she said.
Her plan for the chapter this year
includes sending students to seminars
and conferences as a part of the national
organizations activities and having chapter members perform several on-campus
service projects.
All junior accounting majors with a
3.0 grade point average and a 3.15 GPA in
at least two 300-level accounting courses
are eligible to apply for membership in
Beta Alpha Psi.

Alpha Psi, visit www.bap.org.
The University of Alabamas Mission

To advance the intellectual and social condition
of the people of the State through quality
programs of teaching, research, and service.
mission
(mi-shen) n.1. b. The business with which such a

body of persons is charged (reprinted from the Oxford American Dictionary).
On April 8, 2006, The University of Alabama

launched a major capital campaign, Our
Students, Our Future, to bolster efforts to
fulfill its mission through scholarships and
faculty support.
Scholarships and faculty support may not be
as exciting as a new building, but they are the
foundation on which the Culverhouse College
of Commerce stands. Without great faculty,
we cannot recruit and retain great students.
Without scholarship support, we cannot attract
the best students.
In the world of academia, as is the case in most
businesses, marked improvement comes via human
and capital resources. In our situation, we need the
capital resources in order to capture the human
resources of students and faculty.
With additional funds in these areas, we will continue
to provide an exceptional education for deserving
students, while offering the finest resources when
these students arrive on campus.
Over the course of the campaign, you will receive
updates on the campaign via the enewsletter,
website, and this magazine.
Please consider how you can make a difference
and help us fulfill our mission.
Our Students. Our Future.
For more information on how you can help,
please contact me.

Lindsey Blumenthal
named director of business schools
indsey M. Blumenthal, a former student intern in the

Culverhouse College of Commerce Office of Development,
Alumni, and Corporate Relations, has returned to The
University of Alabama as coordinator of the business schools
Commerce Executives Society.
Lindsey brings the skills and the experience we were looking
for, said Charlie Adair, Culverhouse director of development. Her
academic credentials in hospitality management, combined with her
marketing, supervisory, and budgetary experience in the private sector, will serve her well in taking the Commerce Executives Society to a
new level.
The Commerce Executives Society is the Culverhouse College
of Commerce, alumni association and has over 1,700 members. CES
members are invited to a number of events during the year to receive
updates on the business school, and they also receive the schools
alumni magazine, The Executive, twice a year.
The members of the Commerce Executives Society are an
extremely important part of the college development foundation,
Blumenthal said, and I look forward to interacting with them and
finding ways to increase CES membership, as well as adding value to
their membership.
Blumenthal earned a bachelors degree in hospitality management
and a minor in general business from UA in 2002. She completed her
master of science in general human environmental sciences, with an
emphasis in hospitality management, in 2003. For the past two years
she was been employed as a national account executive with American
Exhibition Services in Birmingham.
She was named Outstanding Senior in the College of Human
Environmental Sciences and was named to a number of honor societies
as a student at UA.
I developed a deep appreciation for the business school while
a student at Alabama, Blumenthal said, and this position provides
a wonderful opportunity for me to express that appreciation. The
Culverhouse College of Commerce has a wonderful reputation
across the country and around the globe, and its graduates have a
long-standing tradition of supporting the school. I want to help continue that tradition.
The Culverhouse undergraduate program is ranked 36th among
public universities, and the accounting program is ranked 17th among
public universities. Forbes magazine recently ranked The University of
Alabamas Manderson Graduate School of Business 31st among public
M.B.A. programs nationwide. This ranking places the program in
the top 10 percent nationally. The Princeton Review currently ranks
the graduate school in the top 10 nationally in three of 11 categories:
fourth for campus facilities, fifth for quality of professors, and eighth
for administration.

Market
of the
Mind
The information services market generated about $340 billion in worldwide revenues
during 2004, according to industry estimates, with consulting generating over $100 billion
and outsourcing generating another $240 billion.
fter a decade of dizzying growth and

spectacular profits, the consulting
business cooled down during 200103,
partly because of the stock market decline in
the technology and telecommunications sectors and partly because of a general economic
slowdown in most of the developed world.
The industry is picking up speed, however, with projected growth rates of 6 percent
to 8 percent for 2006. This growth is primarily fueled by improved economic growth rates
across most business sectors and the need for
technology and improved business processes
to fuel and support that growth.
Ronald E. Stewart, North America
managing partner for Accentures automotive, industrial equipment, transportation,
and travel industries practice, has been with
Accenture for 27 years and has seen the
industry grow from smaller divisions of major
accounting firms and computer equipment
manufacturers to large independent corporations with global scale and impact.
Accenture is a global management consulting, technology services, and outsourcing
company. With more than 126,000 people in
48 countries, the company generated net revenues of $15.55 billion for the fiscal year ended
August 31, 2005. The companys home page

is www.accenture.com.
Stewart joined Accenture (the
administrative services division of Arthur
Andersen at that time) after graduating
from the Manderson Graduate School of
Business in 1978 with an M.B.A. in international business.
Ron has been with Accenture since
the early days and has contributed much
to building our organization, said Jorge
Benitez, managing partner of Accentures
North America products practice.
Prior to his current managing partner role, Stewart held numerous positions
with Accenture, including serving as
client service partner for companies like
UPS, Delta Airlines, Johnson Controls,
and Home Depot. He also led Accentures
global transportation and travel services
industry practice.
Stewart lives in Atlanta with his wife,
Jeannie, and their four children. Stewart,
who earned his bachelors degree from
Tulane University in New Orleans, recently took time out from his busy schedule to
discuss the state of the consulting business
with The Executive.
The consulting market
Consulting is a multihundred billion

dollar industry, Stewart said. It is organized
into three major segments: management consulting, which is the oldest and most mature
segment; systems integration, which is the
design and implantation of ERP (short for
enterprise resource planning, a business management system that integrates all facets of the
business, including planning, manufacturing,
sales, and marketing systems for major corporations); and outsourcing, which is the largest
and fastest-growing segment. These segments
make up what we call the information services
industry, and Accenture is one of the top two
or three players in the world.
Stewart said the information services
industry is growing at 7 percent to 8 percent
per year.
We had some incredible boom years
in the late 90s, but the industry slowed
down during the early 2000s. We have definitely picked up our growth over the past
couple of years.
Driving this growth is globalization,
primarily in the outsourcing segment,
Stewart said.
CoverStory
Many companies are interested in focusing on their core competencies and leaving
non-core functions to companies specializing
in these areas, he said. Further, many are
taking advantage of the global economy,
utilizing advances in technology and communications to access other parts of the world for
skills in IT, finance and accounting, human
resources, and many others.
Accenture provides global outsourcing
services in over 48 countries around the world.
Many companies have found it very beneficial
to take advantage of these outsource offerings,
and it is a rapidly growing part of our business
and the industry overall.
The impact of Y2K and

Sarbanes-Oxley on consulting
Stewart said that around the turn of the

century, a lot of companies were concerned
about the age of their application systems and
wanted to update their technologies to avoid
Y2K problems.
That issue caused a big jump in the ERP
business, Stewart said.
Now we are finding that public
companies have a need for improved information and functional restructuring to meet
Sarbanes-Oxley requirements. We are seeing a growing trend of companies moving
decentralized-business functions into sharedservice operations. These trends are driving a
substantial increase in consulting and information services.
On the management consulting side,
Stewart noted, as the general economy slowed
down in the early 2000s, consulting firms saw
a lot of their work focused on helping companies reduce costs.
Now, however, were seeing a rapid
increase in top-line growth, Stewart said.
Companies have pretty well managed their
costs down, so they want to know how to
grow the top-line, the revenue side. We are
doing a lot of work in sales force effectiveness, innovative pricing models, inventory
and supply-chain management, and marketing effectiveness to drive revenue growth in
our clients.
Consulting and 9/11
One of Stewarts responsibilities with

Accenture is the travel and transportation
industry, which is still feeling the impact of
the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
We were working for just about every

major airline in the world at the time of
September 11 in some capacity. The large
majority of that work was stopped almost
immediately as the industry went into survival mode.
With few exceptions, the major global
airlines have not returned to their pre-9/11
profitability levels, and it has impacted our
business in this sector. Other sectors of the
travel industry have fared better. Specifically,
rental car and hotel industries have done very
well in the last couple of years. Much of our
airline market focus has shifted to the low
cost airlines that are growing and are in need
of information services. We are starting to see
our work increase in the larger airlines in the
recent past.
Issues surrounding
consulting
No discussion of consulting can overlook

the frequent complaints that consultants are
overpaid and should not be consulting with
companies in which they own stock.
Our clients rarely enter engagements without a solid business case and
clear justification for our participation and
expertise, Stewart said. In fact, we view
a well-developed business case and value
proposition as essential to success. Like
any investment, our clients expect a strong
return on their investments, and our reputation is built on delivering that value. Our
margins, as an industry, are not out of line
with what we see in other technology-related industries. We have to pay our people
well to attract and retain the best talent so
we can bring the best to our clients. Were a
people-based business.
As for consultants working for firms in
which they own stock, Stewart said, I think
that needs to be very carefully managed. We
do, in many cases, have access to some sensitive information and it is, of course, illegal to
act on inside information. We have strictly
enforced policies on investing in clients, and
our reputation depends on adhering to these
policies. We constantly train our people on
these types of issues.
What makes a good

consultant?
There are many types of consultants in this industry, Stewart said, and
each engagement has unique skill and

staffing requirements.
For example, in some of our larger
engagements, well have over 1,000 or more
consultants working for a single client, doing
everything from developing new systems to
managing the clients help desk to processing
accounts-receivable transactions, he said.
A consultant, first of all, has to have
very good analytical skills, Stewart said.
They have to be able to come into a new
situation, understand a problem, break it into
its smaller pieces, and come up with creative
solutions. Our engagements are typically
complex in nature and scale. If the problem
were easy and straightforward, they wouldnt
need us. We also have to be highly structured
in providing our recommendations to ensure
they are implementable and based on proven
practices. And then a consultant must have
very good communications skills, be able to
interact with senior executives, and be able to
effectively communicate concepts and recommendations to all levels of an organization.
Stewart said Accentures contracts with
clients are moving toward more long-term,
multiyear engagements, particularly with outsourcing contracts, which typically run from
three to 10 years. We have had and always
will have very time-specific engagements,
where we come in to do a very specific job and
then leave, but we are seeing more and more
longer-term contracts.
The competition for the best

and brightest
There is always competition for the best

people, Stewart said. We see a lot of our
clients bringing consulting people into their
organizations to perform management roles,
internal consulting roles, or to manage largescale projects using outside firms like ours.
But were growing very healthily and expanding our head count every year. We are seeing
more and more competition for our target
recruiting prospects.
When I started with the firm in
1979, we were a small division of Arthur
Andersen and numbered about 1,000
people in a handful of countries. We are
now more than 125,000 people and operate
in nearly 50 countries around the world.
Obviously, we have grown dramatically
over the past 27 years. When I first started
working, businesses did not use consul-
CoverStory
tants as a matter of course; it was kind of
an unnatural act. Today, it is a very much
accepted and expected part of doing business anywhere in the world; so it was been a
very rewarding experience.
Todays college student and

The National Association of Colleges

and Employers lists consulting as one of the
top 10 jobs for 2004-05 college graduates,
at an annual salary of $47,780, behind only
project engineering and software design and
development.
Careers in Consulting website says,
Starting salaries in consulting positions
with a bachelors degree after bonus (analyst
position) range from $40,000 to $80,000.
Starting salaries with an M.B.A. degree

After infrequent recruitment appearances
on campuses a few years ago, recruiters
have now boosted their efforts to a rapid
pace, storming campuses and bringing

degree from The University of

Consultants News reports that, according to a 2004 third-quarter survey of
consulting firms hiring intentions, 27 percent
of firms expected to increase net head count
by more than 10 percent in 2005. Firms are
competing for first looks at students at the top
institutions.
Furthermore, with the heightened availability of new consulting jobs, the level of
voluntary turnover rose as high as 25 percent
in 2004 and 2005, compared to less than 10
percent during the recession. This recruiting
trend is a promising one for the management
and strategy sector, as it indicates strong
confidence among firms regarding increased
demand for their services and projected revenue growth . . . Consultant News reported.
So, what do UA's soon-to-be graduates
look for in a consulting career?
Well, first of all, Stewart said, choose
the right firm because there are very significant differences in terms of the scope of
practices, the approach to the marketplace,
and career opportunities with each of the
major firms they may be speaking with.
A college graduate seeking a consulting
career must be ready to work very hard and a
lot of long hours, because our clients are very
demanding and expect us to do whatever it

takes to get the job done. Next, you need to
be prepared to pack a suitcase because there
is a lot of travel involved, which is exciting to
many people. However, some people get tired
of the travel and choose other career options
later in their careers.
And finally, I believe the most
rewarding part of a career in consulting is
the exposure you get to a large variety of
companies, the complex issues facing these
companies, and the senior executives running
these businesses
Stewart gives The University of Alabama
a great deal of credit for his success.
My M.B.A. from The University of
Alabama was the reason I got the job with
Accenture. Without the M.B.A. and without
the educational opportunities provided by
The University of Alabama, I would not be
where I am today.
Stewart remains close to UA and many
of its faculty members and returns regularly
to maintain his connections.
We will hire probably over 1,000 people
this year in North America. The University of
Alabama is always one of our target schools.
We have had a great deal of success with the
graduates of the school and the quality of
their preparation.

UA has close ties to fastgrowing accounting firm

The accounting and business advisory firm of Tidwell DeWitt
LLC is one of the fastest-growing regional companies in the
Southeast. In addition, the September 2005 issue of Inside Public
Accounting recognized Tidwell DeWitt as the sixth fastest- growing
accounting firm in the country.
Growth means adding revenue streams, offices, and people,
and a lot of Tidwell DeWitts employee growth has come via The
University of Alabama and its highly ranked Culverhouse School
of Accountancy.
Tidwell DeWitt has five offices in two states, including
Tuscaloosa and Birmingham in Alabama and Atlanta, Newnan,
and Peachtree City in Georgia. The firm has nearly 90 employees,
11 of whom are partners. The remainders are CPAs, M.B.A.s,
accountants, and industry operations specialists.
Much of the growth began in 2001, said managing partner
Barry Tidwell, who functions as the firms chairman of the board
and chief executive officer. We believed that accounting was
changing, he said. At that time, the firms primary focus was on
midsize businesses. We felt like we could provide them a service
that added value, not just a commodity.
However, as the industry has continued to change, we now
have two focus groups: privately held, midsize companies, and
business process and project outsourcing Sarbanes-related work for
public companies. In fact, our SAS 70 practice is becoming one of
the most active in the country.
SAS 70 has been around for a while, but the approval of
the Sarbanes-Oxley brought it back to the forefront, said Bryan
Finison Jr., one of the partners and an M.B.A. graduate of The
University of Alabamas Manderson Graduate School of Business.
SAS 70 is an auditing standard developed by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants that enables an independent auditor to evaluate and issue an opinion about a service
organizations controls.
SAS 70 defines the standards an auditor must employ in order
to assess the contracted internal controls of a service organization.
Service organizations, such as hosted data centers, insurance claims
processors, and credit-processing companies, provide outsourcing
services that affect the operation of the contracting enterprise.
The approval of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act provided considerable
momentum for the growth at Tidwell DeWitt, but not all of the
impact has been direct.
It has had more of an indirect impact, Tidwell said. The
indirect benefit of SOX is that midsize companies that were Big
Four clients but dont fit the Big Four profile now look to regional
firms like Tidwell DeWitt to get quality resources in a more timely
and cost effective basis
In fact, Tidwell said, Big Four firms have become a valuable
referral service for us.
The SAS 70 group is growing rapidly, and that has become a
great opportunity for usworking with some of the largest companies in the U.S., he said. We invested heavily in the proper
resources and experience to properly staff these engagements at
a national level.
Plus, a lot of the
restructuring work
that has resulted
from Sarbanes
has now trickled
down to us so that
we are able to do a
lot of project outsourcing work. I
think outsourcing
as a whole is not
only here to stay
but is becoming a
model that will be
very beneficial to
Barry Tidwell
corporate America.
Tidwell said the firms consulting practice consists of three
areas: project outsourcing, business valuation, and litigation
support.
Some of our consulting projects are research related,
Finison said. Usually, there is a strategic focus and direct
problem to solve.
Tidwell said another factor in the firms growth has been
its hiring. We have hired quality people who can lead large
projects. That has allowed us to grow further with our clients and
potential clients.
So, does Tidwell DeWitt management see the firm growing
through acquisition?
We are always looking for the right culture fit, and if there is
a firm that fits our culture, then we might look into bringing them
in through acquisition; but we are not looking to acquire just for the
sake of growth, Tidwell said.
Our growth has enabled us to work without geographic
boundaries. We have worked with clients in 38 of the 48 contiguous states.
Birmingham and Atlanta are simply our hubs, Finison said.
Tidwell DeWitt has been ranked among the fastest-growing
firms in the U.S. four out of the past five years, Tidwell said. Our
growth has made it exciting for people to join our firm because they
are able to get into a leadership position and a practice position that
allows them to work directly with clients and learn more about the
business environment than they would in other practices.
The growth of Tidwell DeWitt bodes well for the Culverhouse
College of Commerce.
The administration and faculty at the University of Alabama
business school think ahead and we leverage off that, Finison said.
We have close relationships with professors, and we stay on the
forefront of strategic business thinking. We are extremely active in
the UA internship program.
We have a commitment to just a few universities, Tidwell
said, and at the top of that list is UA. We get fantastic people, particularly people who have been in the market before and are more
strategic and critical thinkers, people who are able to look at the
business as a whole.

Reprinted from the Charlotte Business Journal
E&Ys local chief and UA accounting grad puts

Charlotte office in growth mode
Curt Fochtmann was recently named
managing partner of Ernst and Young in
Charlotte, his first posting as head of a local
market during a 22-year career at the firm.
He comes to Charlotte from Atlanta,
where he served two years as the firms
global leader of human capital, a job that
entailed traveling the world, primarily
assisting executives with taxes and the
logistics of relocation.
Fochtmann has an advantage in navigating the increasingly complex world of
accounting and taxation. At the tender age
of 12, he started keeping books for the
familys auto-parts business in Wetumpka,
Alabama. He won his high schools first
and only accounting award, and the years
spent doing double-entry bookkeeping
paid off during accounting studies at The
University of Alabama, where he earned his
master of tax accounting in 1983. It was
second nature to me, where it was very difficult for some others, he says.
The 45-year-old E&Y partner comes
to Charlotte intent on significantly building the firm, whose 135 local professionals
in April made it the markets fifth-largest
accounting firm, according to Charlotte
Business Journal research. Fochtmann
recently spoke about the profession and his
plans in Charlotte; following are excerpts
from that conversation.
How have the various accounting scandals
and reforms affected the profession?
I believe the reforms have affected
us positively, not only for our business at
E&Y but for the financial reporting model
as a whole. Theres a strong recommitment
to the quality of service we provide, the
kind of people we hire, and the training we
provide to those people. Over the past few
years, our industry has faced some tough
challenges, including losing one of our best
competitors. But overall, weve come out
stronger and better as a profession.
Do you think theres greater transparency
in financial statements for investors?
Theres no doubt about it. In working
with audit committees and clients, weve

seen greater emphasis on corporate governance, and that has helped investors better
understand whats going on.
I believe theres a lot more transparency around transactions in the market today.
Do you think the professions image is
improving, despite ongoing headlines
about KPMG?
I dont want to comment about any
firm in particular; weve all had our issues
here and there. I strongly believe the
professions image is on the mend. Weve
been able to do some things in the last two
or three years that have really made a difference. For example, weve helped clients
design and execute their internal controls
and also establish processes to make sure
theyre controlling their businesses and
how financials get reported. When I think
about two or three years ago, its a different
worldand thats a big plus for the industry, investors, and the companies.
What impact have the reforms had on cli
ents in tax and accounting issues?
Its a little different world today where
we have audit and nonaudit clients. From
the audit side, we focus closely on our
independence, working directly with audit
committees to make sure audit work is
done in the highest quality fashion.
For nonaudit work, our clients manage their taxes within the rules. Theres
been a swing of the pendulum back to the
center. Our clients are focusing back on
what they do best, and how to add value
for their stockholders. Theres probably a
less aggressive view toward tax transactions
and complex accounting transactions these
days. Im feeling much better about where
we are working with our clients today.
E&Y doesnt do audit work for the big
Charlotte banks. Does this give you other
opportunities with them?
Core audit continues to be the biggest
part of our business. But thats provided
us with huge opportunities. The rules
under Sarbanes-Oxley are significant, and

the banks are looking for alternative providers. Weve had a great opportunity to
grow our nonaudit services, working with
organizations in their internal controls, risk
management, tax advisory, transactions,
technology, and security. Were helping
them build their infrastructure to execute
on their growth, making sure theyre balancing the risk and reward in transactions.
Well do this while making sure theyre
complying tightly with their own processes
and the rules in their business.
Regarding E&Y in Charlotte, what are
your plans?
Growth is critical to a business like
ours. The regions been great to us. In
the past two to three years, we have more
than doubled our business here. Our local
team has access to Ernst and Young professionals around the country and the world
that allows us to deliver quality service to
global market leaders. Our goal for the
coming year is to grow the staff by 50
percent if we are able to identify the people
were looking for. It depends on what our
clients need.
Is this in anticipation of growth or to sat
isfy existing demand?
Its a combination. Theres a lot of
existing demand for our core audit business. For our advisory work, a lot of that
would be in anticipation of helping clients
meet their needs.
Do you think the firm is as well known as
it should be in the region?
As part of the Big Four, were well
known in the business community, but
from the broader community standpoint,
we can make a bigger difference. As we
continue to grow, we have to give back
more in terms of funding projects and
civic organizations and getting more of
our people out helping others. We want to
continue to make a positive difference in
Charlotte across the boardwith clients
and the overall community.
