The Mike Brodie Family Distinguished Professorship was initiated with a gift from Brodie BS’76 on North Texas Giving Day in 2017 for the benefit of the Naveen Jindal School of Management. That same year, he received the Distinguished Alumni Award from The University of Texas at Dallas, where he was chair of the Executive Board for seven years and remains an active board member. He helped UT Dallas leaders plan and launch the second major fundraising campaign in university history. Brodie is a realty industry leader with over 50 years of experience, most notably with Keller Williams Realty.
“I feel privileged and honored to receive this recognition. It has been very satisfying to be part of this wonderful institution and to see the growth of the Naveen Jindal School of Management.”
Dr. Srinivasan Raghunathan joined the Naveen Jindal School of Management at UT Dallas in 1999, where he has served as a faculty member, area coordinator for information systems and supervisor to numerous PhD students. He previously held academic positions at the Indian Institute of Technology, the National University of Singapore and Bowling Green State University. Raghunathan’s research focuses broadly on the economic implications of information technology-enabled business phenomena. Specifically, his research has addressed issues related to IT security, IT-enabled collaboration in supply chain, consumer review platforms in online marketplaces, and online recommender systems. His research has been published in journals including Management Science, Information Systems Research, MIS Quarterly and Operations Research.
Much of Raghunathan’s recent research has been conducted along with his doctoral students.
“My students taught me a lot about how IT is altering the way business gets done and about the unique economic challenges these new ways pose to firms,” he said. “I am especially proud to see that my students have continued to work with me on exciting research even after they graduated.”
During his service as the area coordinator for information systems in the Jindal School from 2007-2014, Raghunathan increased graduate enrollment from 120 to 800, increased the undergraduate enrollment from 100 to 400, launched the business analytics master’s degree program, introduced several certificate programs and established an industry advisory board.
He has served as an associate editor for Information Systems Research and Information Technology and Management, and Electronic Commerce Research, among other publications.
Raghunathan received his bachelor of technology from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, and his MBA from the India Institute of Management, Calcutta. Raghunathan earned his PhD in business administration from the University of Pittsburgh.
