Marriage Diversity for Businesses and Rock Bands

May 9, 2018

Closing out the first season of the Spartan Bizcast (aka Broad Matters), Caroline turns the questions towards cohost Don Conlon, Broad College Chairperson and Gambrel Family Endowed Professor in the Department of Management, about his research comparing rock bands and MBA student teams. Lifestyle and marriage diversity in groups can be strengths for both groups.

Thank you to all of our listeners for following our podcast. We'll be back next fall with more from the Broad College of Business.
