Three professors from the University of Washington’s Michael G. Foster School of Business were recently ranked in the top 150 most cited researchers in a study published in the Journal of Management (Vol. 34, No. 4, August 2008).
Terence Mitchell, Edward E. Carlson distinguished professor in business administration, Charles Hill, Hughes M. and Katherine G. Blake endowed professor in business administration, and incoming Marion B. Ingersoll Professor of Management Bruce Avolio, were all included.
“This ranking is significant, not only because it recognizes professors Terry Mitchell, Charles Hill and Bruce Avolio as international thought leaders in management, but more importantly, it shows the depth of their influence on the next generation of leaders and scholars,” explained Dean James Jiambalvo.
Overall, the University of Washington ranked 23 out of the 100 most-cited universities worldwide. The bibliometric study rated the top 150 scholars based on citations in 30 management journals from 1981 to 2004.

And in 2006, he received the award for Outstanding Practitioner Oriented Publication in Organizational Behavior.
Charles Hill was ranked at number 40. A faculty member at the University of Washington since 1988, Hill is well known for his textbooks on international business and strategic management. He served as consulting editor of the Academy of Management Review as well as a consultant to several businesses including The Boeing Company, Microsoft Corporation and Thompson Financial Services. Among other top journals, Hill’s research has been published in the Academy of Management Review and the Academy of Management Journal.
Bruce Avolio was ranked at 133.
