Arkansas State professors co-author winning paper

JONESBORO — Two professors in Arkansas State University's College of Business have won the 2013 Bernard J. LaLonde Best Paper Award.

Shane Hunt, dean of the College of Business, and John Mello, director of the Center for Supply Chain Management and associate professor of marketing, co-authored the article titled, "Combining Formal Controls to Improve Firm Performance."

The article, one of three finalists, was part of a multi-year research effort between Hunt and Mello and two colleagues at Ohio State University that have produced three other "A'' level articles over the past couple of years.

The award is given annually to the best paper of the entire year published in the Journal of Business Logistics, the leading academic journal in the world in the area of supply chain management and logistics.
