Topic: Writing a business column for a local newspaper column
![Page 4: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
I felt a little like “Professor”Harold Hill of the Music ManWhat do talk, walk da ya talk; what da ya talk..I felt like I was being labeled as …
when it comes to scholarship….
“He doesn’t know the territory!”

An Overview of Session
• Traces 5 five year process of developing working relationship with a local/regional daily newspaper-the Kankakee Daily Journal
• Began with Don Daake & Ed Piatt writing an occasional article (about 20 articles, per year, combined), in the Daily Journal’s monthly business magazine B2B
• Has evolved into a weekly column in the business section. The paper is a mid-size publication, with a circulation of over 23,000 copies and 50,000 potential readers.
![Page 6: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
An Overview
• Opportunity to share a wide variety of practical yet academically sound, business-related ideas with thousands of people each week is a substantial privilege.
• Initially written in conjunction with Edward Piatt – co-authored approximately 120 articles together over 2 ½ years a potential readership of 6.0 million readers (in marketing parlance- gross impressions).
• Since November 2011- October 2014- Bi-weekly column – written additional 75 articles with potential of 3.75 million readers
• Purpose today is to provide a road map of how university business professors can significantly expand their influence by writing for their community

Its about impact!
• Sudden impact…
well not that kind
• But widespread and significant cumulative impact over time!

LITERATURE REVIEW
GAP BETWEEN THEORY & APPLICATIONACROSS THE LAST THIRTY YEARS, THE ACADEMY OF MANAGEMENT HAVE
STRUGGLED WITH THE BALANCE BETWEEN DOING BASIC RESEARCH AND
APPLIED RESEARCH AND WRITING THAT CAN BE UTILIZED BY PRACTITIONERS.
![Page 13: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Concern in the Academy has been long-standing but Cyclical
• 1908, Henri Fayol asked, “Is there a better way to learn to manage other than by experience?”
• Raelin (2007) argues that “by merging theory and practice we will end up with better theory, better practice, and better learning that will prepare us for both”.
![Page 15: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Concern about this problem widespread
• The literature reveals concern regarding the gap that exists between theory and application (Starkey & Madan, 2001; Van de Ven & Johnson, 2006; Vermeulen, 2005; Aram & Salipante, 2003; Anderson et al., 2004; Rynes, Bartunek, & Daft, 2001; Salipante & Aram, 2003; Baldridge, Floyd, &
Markoczy, 2004)
![Page 16: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Cyclic concern about this problem
• Former AOM President Cummings says that forging closer links between research and practice is key
![Page 17: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Who is playing this game?• Two key players (often opposing teams)
researchers VS business practitioners
• They aren’t speaking to each other. Why not?– The purpose of research (general vs. specific)– The nature of management research (messy!)– The nature of knowledge (explicit, tacit)
![Page 18: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Build a bridge…and get over it!
• Strengthen the LINKS connecting the two main players
• Favorite LINKS:– Scholarly papers & journals
– Academic conferences
– University classrooms & textbooks
– Trade publications & professional newsletters
– National, regional, and local newspapers !!!
![Page 19: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Most of us in our types of institutions don’t spend our lives in research, but we can provide an important service to our communities by taking the ideas “to the streets” by writing careful, thought-provoking communications.
![Page 20: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
So where does that leave us• Those of us who have published in peer-
reviewed journals, understand the importance of writing.
• Academic scholarship is difficult and very time consuming. Most of us don’t have the time or resources to publish in tier one or tier two journals; however, we still do have important ideas to communicate.
![Page 21: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
So where does that leave us
• Even if we are fortunate enough to publish in journals (which require, in some cases, years of work) the work is only read by a few hundred or at best a few thousand people.
• For example, the premiere Academy of Management Journal, considered one of the top five academic business journals in the world, has a circulation of only 18,100.
![Page 22: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Actually it may be more dismal than that!!!
• The Smithsonian Magazine has reported some rather stunning conclusions about readership of academic articles. While it may a bit deflating to those of us who labor in the academic peer-reviewed world, here are few keys points. One estimate indicates there are about 1.8 million articles published each year in approximately 28,000 journals.
![Page 23: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Actually it may be more dismal than that!!!
• Of those papers, half of them are read only by their authors and journal editors. A 2007 study contends that 90 percent of papers published are NEVER cited. According to the 2007 study in some cases academia’s incentive structure may make it better to publish something rather than nothing, even if that something “is only read by you and your reviewers.”
![Page 24: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Actually it may be more dismal than that!!!
• As more journals come online, the articles referenced are more recent, and fewer journals and articles are cited.

Others Citing your work is a bit of trip…
![Page 26: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
While no comparison to peer reviewed journals…
• So many writers in newspaper have to do, writing at a “dumbed- down” level
• Tend to focus on the negative in our communities

Social Impact on Ordinary Citizens
![Page 29: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
By writing a newspaper column • We integrate cutting-edge writing and research in a positive
helpful fashion.
• And it actually gets read and adds value to the newspaper and the community.
• We have the chance to introduce current cutting edge ideas as well as the ideas of classic thinkers such as Porter, Kanter, Eisenhardt, Kotter, Goleman, Simon, Collins, Mintzberg, and several other prominent seminal thinkers to our readers.
![Page 30: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Increasing opportunity to integrate scripture and Christian ideals..
• It comes naturally & it is appreciated by readers
• Fits our mission and my mission
• For many readers probably the only time they are exposed to scripture- so never done heavy handed.
![Page 31: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Increasing opportunity to integrate scripture and Christian ideals..
• Remember Kurt Lewin’s “Nothing is so practical as good theory”
• For us nothing is so common sense in management as the scripture!
![Page 32: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Benefits to Multiple Stakeholder Groups
• Cultivating a close relationship with local media, can yield important benefits for multiple stakeholder groups.
• The Community
• The Newspaper
• Our Readers
• Our Students
• University
• For Us Too!
![Page 33: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Engaging in public outreach allows us to give back to our community
Community in transition
Many small business owners with limited resources
Growing professional community
Write about wide variety of topics
![Page 34: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Writing for local media shows our students that we not only expect them to write but that we do the same
• I WANT TO YELL THIS!! We expect our students to write-we should too.
• Articles serve as real-life real time points for discussions.
• We are able to somewhat “enact” our environment as Karl Weick would say
![Page 35: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Newspapers are in a crisis
• The State of the Newspaper Media 2013:
• Cutbacks in 2012 had the industry down 30 per cent since its peak in 2000
• Below 40,000 full-time professionals for the first time since 1978.”

1 Papers are needing to find a new voice
2 Local columnists help retain base
3 Frankly - cost cutting device according to Ken Munjoy
Many papers are moving away from regional/national coverage to more local

Publishing locally opens opportunities for us to speak at public functions
• Service clubs
• Professional Groups
• This opens more opportunities for our students
![Page 38: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Interacting with local organizations via local media provides visibility and opportunities for student internships and job opportunities
![Page 39: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Synthesizing theory and practice increases credibility for our professors and the institution
• Other local columnist are much more focused on stories and anecdotes
• Also increases credibility for the paper
![Page 40: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
It is our goal to make our writing both enlightened &proactive• New ideas
• Old ideas recast
• Not talking down to our readers
• But yet make assessable to broad base of readers
• So we write within a appropriate “Band Width”
![Page 41: Cbfa writing for paper 2014 edition final october 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052909/5597a5d71a28ab26618b4641/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

But at times we feel like prophets not accepted in our own country
• Lots of feedback from community
• Much less from our colleagues
• But hey you deal with academics and maybe you’ll agree for some professors their opening position is…….

We (Piatt & Daake) each started out writing a monthly or bi- monthly for
Illinois Business To Business (B2B)
• Limited circulation of about 4000• Very difficult to get enough ideas• Eventually B2B was expanded to Will County and then
closed• Transferred to a monthly column in the newspaper• But at that point we hand contacts and experience• Were urged to write “McDonald’s conversation” 500
word column

We wanted to call the columnThe Village Idiots
• In deference to the Motley Fools
• “Stamping out idiocy one article at a time”• The Village Idiots (ultimately led to website-• http://www.viassociates.org/• Well it is closed down now.

Wordsmithing does not work as a duet!
• At one point one of us told the other to go down the hall and come back in 30 minutes
• From that point on we decided to do a Primary/Secondary author approach

Conversation with Mr. Munjoy, GM of Journal Gave Us New Direction

A New Step Forward-
• In mid-summer 2010 decision – it would be helpful and raise our credibility to bring in an occasional third guest author.
• We asked Kathleen Mays of East Texas Baptist University to join the writing team and participate 4-5 times a year.
• This gave us fresh ideas, e.g. management lessons from the movies.
• Her articles have been well-received, and we put a local spin to the article to meet our mandate.
• Since then I have used about 7 or 8 co-authors
