Professor lectures in England, Germany

Dr. Allen D. Engle Sr., professor of management at Eastern Kentucky University, recently spent three weeks in Europe, presenting at an international management conference and serving as a guest lecturer in England.

He also attended a series of meetings in Germany, where he holds a three-year appointment as visiting professor at the Berlin campus of ESCP Europe. ESCP Europe is the oldest institution dedicated to business education in the world with campuses in Paris, London, Madrid, Berlin and Turin.

Engle, with coauthors Peter Dowling of La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, and Marion Festing, ESCP-Europe in Berlin, presented the referred paper “Renaissance in Rewards: A Historical Preface and Contemporary Analysis of Contemporary Pay Practices” at the annual meeting of the European Academy of Management, conducted May 11-14 in Liverpool, England.

He was invited to give a lecture on May 19 about “Strategy, Structure and Process: Fundamentally Reconsidering Human Resource Management to Support Firm Integration” to faculty, doctoral students and researchers at a management colloquium at the Aston Business School in Birmingham, England.

While in the United Kingdom, Engle also met with Dr. Markus Pudelko, Reader in International Business at the Edinburgh (Scotland) Business School, to plan a series of case studies related to role conflict in global firms.

At the end of May, Engle spent five days in Berlin, meeting at the Charlottenburg campus of ESCP-Europe with Marion Festing, professor and chair holder in Human Resource Management and Intercultural Leadership in Berlin and newly-elected Dean of Research for the five-campus ESCP university system, and several doctoral students in the ESCP program to plan and coordinate future research projects in the areas of global performance management. He also discussed translating his coauthored works from English into Russian for eventual publication in Russian academic journals.

Engle received the EKU International Alumni Association’s Excellence in Teaching Award in 2004 and, in 2008, received the fifth annual Jack L. Dyer Excellence in Teaching Award at EKU. A native of London, Ky., Engle holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from EKU and a doctoral degree from the University of Kentucky. He is the third generation in his family to teach at EKU.
