Testimonials

Dr. Bender has been an extraordinary teacher/facilitator/mentor. I had the pleasure of working with her on several levels, the first in academics, and the second as my advisor during the Capstone experience. She was professional and caring. I found working with her to be very productive and I would recommend her to any and all students. M. Neder

 

Thank you for helping me to lay firm ground for my doctoral dissertation. I appreciate the help you rendered in fine tuning my research topic, and building Chapters 1-3 of my proposal. I am glad to announce to you that because of your contributions in helping me to have a great start, I have completed my PhD degree. I have submitted my approved final dissertation for publication and am waiting for the dean's final approval before I can officially be called, "Doctor." Thank you Dr. Sharon for your help. You did a great job, I am not sure if I was going to be able to complete the doctoral research in such a timely manner if it was not for your help.

—  A. N., Doctoral Candidate 

 

As a student in Dr. Bender's Strategic Management course in 2000 I can recall her sharing her ideas about SWOT analysis. She introduced the idea of a hybrid formula in which she suggested merging "weaknesses and threats" as simply constraints or roadblocks to success. Dr. Bender was among the course instructors that I remember, due to her level of devotion to her students. She was equally helpful in my completion of my Capstone Project.

B. Westerbeek    

 

I remember your approaches to simplifying things back in our Knoll Pharmaceutical days in 1996. You modified our much hated SWOT analysis to three easier steps. I am going to have to use all of the concepts at your site because I think you are the MASTER of organizational concepts! Barbara Wiesing, Co-Worker, BASF

 

I have served as a team member of the MECA (Management/Employee Communication Agreement) focus group in 1994 at AlliedSignal along with the team leader, Sharon L. Bender. In working through the problem in our meeting Sharon used a form of triangulation to categorize the issues presented. — Emilia Remirez, Team Member, AlliedSignal
