Ivan Manev, associate professor of management at the University of Maine, has recently been named the Nicolas Salgo Professor of Business Administration.
The Nicolas Salgo professorship dates back to 1968 and has only been awarded to three other professors. The last recipient was retired business professor John Ford. Salgo himself was an early supporter of the Maine Business School. He created the professorship in 1968 to promote the College of Business, Public Policy and Health at the University of Maine, while also promoting the international initiatives, research and publications of the business school.
"I am very honored; it is also humbling," Manev said.
To receive this award, Manev submitted an application and was chosen by a committee based on a number of different criteria. These criteria include, but are not limited to: the research record of the individual, the willingness of the individual to work with the business community, and their participation with the Maine Business School's William S. Cohen Center for International Policy and Commerce.
"It really helps to add some value to the Cohen Center while also fulfilling the goals of the Salgo professorship. It's really the perfect match," said Dan Innis, dean of the College of Business, Public Policy and Health, about Manev's background.
This professorship will allow Manev to work on research while also increasing the visibility of the college internationally. With this award, Manev plans to go in two different directions. The first is to promote faculty research by hiring a research assistant and organizing seminars to discuss and develop research ideas into journal articles. The second is to increase international visibility by making connections with faculty and schools overseas.
"He's known nationwide for his research," Innis said of Manev.
Using the Nicolas Salgo professorship to expand on global and international ideas makes sense, as Salgo himself was an immigrant to the United States who went on to become a millionaire financier, commercial real estate developer, and ambassador to his native country of Hungary for the United States. He was a successful businessman who understood business on a global level.
