At the time I finished my Ph.D., business school curriculum was responding widely to a rise in modern financial theory. As a result of my recent research successes, I enjoyed a wide national exposure as a faculty candidate at many top business schools. In weighing the competing ideas then contending as a foundation of business teaching, I concluded in favor of the forceful ideas of market efficiency, portfolio theory and the Capital Asset Pricing Model. At that decisive moment, I determined to complete my formal education by further studies at the University of Rochester. It was widely known at the time that the Simon School was the leading center in the world for the advancement of our economic understanding of the role and purpose of accounting information. It was also among the top five programs in the world in financial economics. Of particular interest to me was an aspiration to learn from very successful scholars such as Jerry Zimmerman, Ross Watts, Ray Ball, Cliff Smith, Michael Jensen, Jerry Warner and many others who followed the traditions of the Chicago School of Economics. They were all in their prime and leading great advancements in our knowledge of how organizations are valued and shaped by the functions of the capital markets. In recent years, I have come to appreciate how these leaders in research were standing on the shoulders other leading economists. They were all enriching knowledge as they applied the concepts of capital market efficiency, in combination with the concepts of new institutional economics, to make great breakthroughs in corporate finance, organization and accounting. At the Simon School, I took all the Ph.D. courses offered in Accounting, Finance and Economics. When these courses were completed, and taken together with my work at Kent, I had completed all the courses needed to sit for doctoral qualifying exams in Accounting and Finance in addition to Corporate Policy and Business Strategy.
