Marketing And Social Innovation

Description:

The entrepreneurship program anticipates applying for the major “Creativity and Innovation Management” (the current name is a placeholder). As such, the chair will provide support for the application process and liaise with internal and external parties to facilitate its approval.

The chair will liaise with internal MRU contacts within and beyond Bissett, in disciplines such as Social Work and Information Design, to continue the growth and success of the Social Innovation program.

The marketing program is currently conducting its mandated program review and will, over the next five years, be integrating new programming, new courses, and new opportunities for students. The chair will facilitate program development by bringing together faculty, alumni, external partners and community leaders in conversations about the future of marketing education at MRU.

Qualifications

The successful candidate will have excellent interpersonal skills, strong leadership qualities, and proven administrative capabilities. Candidates should exhibit an understanding of the challenges associated with leading an interdisciplinary department, demonstrate skill as a consensus builder, and appreciate the diversity of our community.
