Goodnight Receives ‘Best Doctoral Paper’ Award from SMA 
Christy Goodnight, assistant professor in the Richard E. Bjork Library (pictured center), received the Best Doctoral Paper Award in the “Innovative Teaching/Management Education” track for her piece, “Organizational Fluxx: Adapting the Card Game Fluxx to Teach Business Management.” She was recognized at The Southern Management Association (SMA) 2019 Annual Meeting, Oct. 8-12, in Norfolk, Virginia.
“The paper put into words the innovative final project that I had my students in Organizational Behavior (MGMT3124) complete when I taught the course last spring here at Stockton,” Goodnight said. “It was a great honor to receive the award, and I would not have written about it if my students here [at Stockton] hadn’t loved the project. I had them using management theory to inform their creation of the cards for the game, and their creativity blew me away.”
SMA’s primary mission is to advance the research, teaching, learning and practice of management. SMA membership consists of over 1,000 management professors, doctoral students and professionals representing more than 200 colleges, universities and business firms in 43 states and several foreign countries.distinction.”
