Advisory Board
The department of management at K-State builds strong partnerships through our Management Advisory Board. Partner companies are able to:

- Gain immediate access to research developments as they emerge
Partners provide the management department with advice and feedback on our programs and our strategy. Partners also participate by providing advice and counsel to management and management information systems students for their career opportunities. In addition, partner companies assist the department through their financial contributions and support. Involvement in the Management Advisory Board allows firms to participate in a variety of ways that will directly impact hundreds of students annually.
