Dr. Simone T.A. Phipps, associate professor of management at Middle Georgia State University (MGA), has been appointed a research fellow at the University of Cambridge Judge Business School in England.

As well as presenting her research at many conferences, Phipps serves as an editorial board member for the Journal of Management History (JMH). She and a co-author have been recognized by the Academy of Management for publishing "ground-breaking African-American management history research," some of which has been included in a number of prominent management textbooks. She and a co-author have also written a book entitled African American Management History: Insights on Gaining a Cooperative Advantage.
 
Here is a description of Judge Business School by Forbes: “The famous British university that dates back to the 13th century established its business school in 1990. Queen Elizabeth II officially opened the business school’s central building in 1995. The school also opened three other buildings named the Ark, the Gallery and the Castle. Located in Cambridge, England—a half-hour train ride outside of London—the school sits in a burgeoning tech hub. Dubbed Silicon Fen in reference to Silicon Valley, Cambridge is now home to several electronics and biotechnology companies. Students work with local startups on consulting projects in their first 3 months at Judge.”
