- James A Cox, Midwest Book Review,
<i>‘How does one become a successful academician? The need to reconcile research, teaching, impact, and service imperatives is a relentless challenge. Equally, balancing professional development and personal lives and responsibilities is a necessary prerequisite to a long and fruitful career. This book, coauthored by a series of successful and internationally regarded academics, provides a very thoughtful exploration of these fundamental, yet challenging questions. The final chapter on societal value provides a holistic synthesis addressing the question of how one defines, identifies, and measures the value of one’s research to business and wider society. I recommend this book to the doctoral student, tenure-tracker, and mid-career academician.‘</i>
