Along with SAH’s Patrick Mason’s recent discussion on CNN International about Utah’s role in the U.S. presidential election, other members of the CGU faculty have recently shared their insights and expertise with a number of media outlets around the world. Here are some highlights:

Lessons of the master: Drucker School Dean Tom Horan recently sat down with Live Mint, one of India’s major financial news outlets, to discuss why Peter Drucker’s ideas remain relevant and useful for today’s managers.
