Duck Withdrawals
While the duck was still in Pittsburgh, we have come to the realization that this is one of the most unconventional marketing approaches we have seen in a long time. The duck has reportedly brought in well over 1 million people to the city of Pittsburgh. With that, business revenues have gone up tremendously. Hotels and restaurants have offered special “quackages,” and even duck themed food items. Businesses have also sold countless duck themed memorabilia.
Even though the duck has now left the waters of Pittsburgh, people are still talking about it. There was even a petition going around that was trying to get the duck to stay for a longer amount of time. Until the duck makes its appearance in another city, people have to turn to social media for pictures and videos of it. To get this search for content started, we have a picture below of when Dr. Jones visited the duck as well as a video, and two vines we found!

What the Duck?
 |
| Picture Taken by Dr. Steven Clinton |
“You can’t help but smile when you look at it,” says Clinton. He and his wife recently went down to see the duck and they both experienced the child-like happiness that comes with it. Looking around, Clinton noticed that everyone that was down there to see the duck had a huge smile on their face. I guess there’s just something about a huge rubber duck that makes people smile.
Another thing that attracts people to the duck is the duck’s artistic value. Clinton went down to see it as a part of his research into “art-related publicity for the City of Pittsburgh.”
Ever since its arrival, the duck has drawn people from around the region to Point State Park. Some people come for the artistic value, some to take pictures, or even just for a smile. Whatever the reason may be, there isn’t going to be a shortage of spectators or picture takers at Point State Park as long as the duck is in Pittsburgh.

RMU Hosts Sustainable Enterprises of the Future Conference
Last week, Robert Morris University hosted the Sustainable Enterprises of the Future Conference. The conference objective is to provide an international forum for the dissemination and exchange of scientific information related to sustainability issues in management, economics, marketing, accounting, finance, communication, and industrial engineering. This year’s theme was “Social Profit.”
At a conference it is typical that “Best Paper” awards are handed out. At this particular conference, there were two “Best Paper” awards:
1. Faculty Track
2. Student Track

At a conference it is typical that “Best Paper” awards are handed out. At this particular conference, there were two “Best Paper” awards:
1. Faculty Track
2. Student Track
Both awards were based on the level of rigor demonstrated in the paper. The faculty track paper that was chosen had – in the opinion of the reviewers – the strongest research methodology. This, in turn, resulted in statistical results that supported the theoretical basis of the work. The faculty winner (pictured below) is Agnieszka Sitko-Lutek of M.Curie Sklodwska University in Poland. The student winner, Katie Leone of Chatham University, submitted a paper based on her thesis. It too exhibited a high level of academic rigor.
