Annual Report
2004
...on the shoulders of giants.
After her marriage to LeRoy Melcher in 1935, Lucile’s grandfather urged her to share the
benefits of the couple’s future financial success in Houston. “You should give your part,”
he said. Lucile and her husband spent a lifetime honoring that advice. The Bauer College
today resides in Melcher Hall, and the University was just one of many beneficiaries of the
Melchers’ philanthropy. Lucile was also very active in the Houston community, funding
scholarships, medical research and public television.
We remain profoundly grateful for the contributions of the many giants who have helped us
fulfill our academic mission.
Lucile Melcher
1912-2004

BAUER FACULTY
Ted Bauer, 1919 - 2004
The Bauer College of Business is leveraging the talents, insights and contributions of a
distinguished faculty, a growing list of benefactors, and thousands of alumni to shorten
the distance between students and successful careers. This year’s annual report recog-
nizes many of the “giants” who have emerged from the College and highlights our
progress in creating an environment from which tomorrow’s business leaders are
emerging.
In Memoriam
Our namesake, Ted Bauer, passed away on June 28, 2004. A giant in the mutual
fund industry, Ted said “I don’t dwell in the past. I always look toward the future.” That
attitude gave him, at age 57, the vision to start his own company, AIM Investments,
and the energy to build it into one of the largest fund companies in the world.
His extraordinary $40 million contribution to the University galvanized the faculty, staff,
students and alumni. It provided the resources to expand our faculty significantly.
The inspiration from that commitment continues to power our quest for excellence.
3
As we enter 2005, The Bauer College is focused on the final year of accelerated growth aimed at matching our
profile with that of other flagship public business schools. The planned addition of more than a dozen faculty this
year will complete this phase of our growth. We are on the brink of joining an elite group of schools that is interna-
tionally recognized for its faculty research, business consulting, and innovative programs that produce students who
make an immediate difference in the workplace.
Once we have achieved a critical faculty size, we will turn our attention to the physical environment with an
additional building. The recently completed renovation to our existing Melcher Hall has given Bauer College
students a home to work in that is completely wireless, comfortable and has a Starbucks® ready to deliver a jolt
of caffeine at any hour between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
In November of this year, we’ll undergo re-accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of
Business (AACSB) to access our progress over the past 10 years. I have no doubt that the good things that have
been happening here will be reflected in the report by Deans of peer schools who will be visiting us. We have
already been honored by an invitation to our Associate Dean, Elizabeth Anderson-Fletcher, to provide a chapter in
the AACSB Best Practices book on Business School Assessment.
We’re proud of our faculty, who continue to receive awards and honors for their professional contributions.
We also take great pride in the success of our alumni. We’re one of the top business schools in terms of producing
major business leaders. Three Bauer graduates are now CEOs of S&P 500 companies. This year we saw another
Bauer alum, Aylwin Lewis, MBA ‘90, BBA Management ‘76, become CEO of Kmart and shortly thereafter, when
Kmart and Sears merged, become President of Sears Holdings, CEO Sears Retail. Additionally, we have many
distinguished alumni who are executives of Fortune 500 companies and large private corporations.
Being located in the energy capital of the world suggests that we’d have a disproportionate number of gradu-
ates in executive positions in energy-related companies. That’s certainly true, but the breadth and quality of our
programs continue to produce leaders in other sectors as well. In areas from retailing (Karen Katz, CEO Neiman
Marcus Stores) to banking (Dominic Ng, Chairman, President & CEO, East West Bancorp and Charles
McMahen, recently retired Vice Chairman of Compass Bank) to finance (Ted Bauer’s $40 million endowment
recognized the role played by our graduates in the success of his organization) to healthcare (David Callender,
Associate Vice Chancellor, UCLA Hospital System Center), Bauer grads are leading prominent businesses and
organizations around the country.
Many of our remarkable graduates are featured in this report. They serve as role models for the next genera-
tion of business leaders. Together with our faculty, staff, partners, and benefactors, I work every day to merit the
confidence our students have placed in us.

the top 5% in the world.
N The MIS Department ranked #1 in research productivity
among IS departments in the Gulf Coast, according to a
2002 study by Alan R. Dennis published in the Academy

and Baker Hughes Professor Robert Keller).
N An evaluation of publications in leading marketing journals
over a 15-year period puts Bauer College in 34th place
worldwide.

The Program for Excellence in Selling focuses on the expertise needed
for business-to-business sales of high-value goods and services. The
most important high-value commodity our students learn to sell is them-
selves. Over the course of the program, in addition to specialized
coursework, each student participates in a strategic, progressive real-
world sales challenge. The sales targets are the businesses for which
our students want to work upon graduation, and the process creates
long-term relationships where students learn and businesses receive
access to a continuing source of emerging talent.
Delivering results for the business community
PES works closely with a number of local and regional businesses,
including:
A significant milestone for the program was the establishment of the
College’s Sales Excellence Institute, which also includes the Strategic
Selling and Customer Relationship Management Center and the Global
Sales Research Center. With the assistance of two advisory boards —one
business and one academic—the Institute sponsors and publishes original
research on sales issues.
Reflecting the value that the Institute is providing to local businesses,
Hibernia Bank donated $50,000 to the Institute. “Sooner or later, every
business must make the sale,” said Bob New, President, Hibernia Bank,
Houston, “and it’s amazing to me that very few college programs
approach the topic at all. We credit both the University and the selling
program’s leadership for turning out exactly the kind of people we like
to hire. We’re tremendously excited about our involvement.”

Building stronger connections
The Program for Excellence in Selling is creating career success for students —and
delivering both top-notch talent and valuable research to area businesses.
The real-world sales challenge
In the first semester, students learn the principles of selling
and role play as buyers and sellers. Then they apply to
enter the PES program. Sixty out of 200 applicants are
accepted every semester.
During the second semester, PES students make personal
calls to local businesses where they are interested in
working. The “sales call” is made to sell jackets, but each
jacket purchased really represents a commitment by the
company to mentor the student. Students also sell tickets
to play in the program’s semi-annual golf tournaments.
The fall 2004 tournament drew a field of 225.
In the final semester, students practice sales management
in teams to meet sales quotas. They sell ads in the PES
magazine, Sellebrations, and tables to the semi-annual
sales career fair. The fall 2004 Sales Mixer drew 72
companies. Students have the option to take Key
Accounts Selling in which they learn how to sell to senior-
level executives. They are accompanied on live sales calls
by PES instructors and staff. They sell corporate partner-
ships and tables to the graduation and induction cere-
monies. During 2004, 23 businesses became PES part-
ners at either $10,000 or $25,000, giving them first
access to hiring opportunities.

Annual Report
2004
...on the shoulders of giants.
After her marriage to LeRoy Melcher in 1935, Lucile’s grandfather urged her to share the
benefits of the couple’s future financial success in Houston. “You should give your part,”
he said. Lucile and her husband spent a lifetime honoring that advice. The Bauer College
today resides in Melcher Hall, and the University was just one of many beneficiaries of the
Melchers’ philanthropy. Lucile was also very active in the Houston community, funding
scholarships, medical research and public television.
We remain profoundly grateful for the contributions of the many giants who have helped us
fulfill our academic mission.
Lucile Melcher
1912-2004

After her marriage to LeRoy Melcher in 1935, Lucile’s grandfather urged her to share the benefits of the couple’s future financial success in Houston. “You should give your part,” he said. Lucile and her husband spent a lifetime honoring that advice. The Bauer College today resides in Melcher Hall, and the University was just one of many beneficiaries of the Melchers’ philanthropy. Lucile was also very active in the Houston community, funding scholarships, medical research and public television. We remain profoundly grateful for the contributions of the many giants who have helped us fulfill our academic mission. Lucile Melcher 1912-2004 Learning. Leading.

  • 3. Ted Bauer, 1919 - 2004 The Bauer College of Business is leveraging the talents, insights and contributions of a distinguished faculty, a growing list of benefactors, and thousands of alumni to shorten the distance between students and successful careers. This year’s annual report recog- nizes many of the “giants” who have emerged from the College and highlights our progress in creating an environment from which tomorrow’s business leaders are emerging. In Memoriam Our namesake, Ted Bauer, passed away on June 28, 2004. A giant in the mutual fund industry, Ted said “I don’t dwell in the past. I always look toward the future.” That attitude gave him, at age 57, the vision to start his own company, AIM Investments, and the energy to build it into one of the largest fund companies in the world. His extraordinary $40 million contribution to the University galvanized the faculty, staff, students and alumni. It provided the resources to expand our faculty significantly. The inspiration from that commitment continues to power our quest for excellence.
  • 4.
  • 5. 3 As we enter 2005, The Bauer College is focused on the final year of accelerated growth aimed at matching our profile with that of other flagship public business schools. The planned addition of more than a dozen faculty this year will complete this phase of our growth. We are on the brink of joining an elite group of schools that is interna- tionally recognized for its faculty research, business consulting, and innovative programs that produce students who make an immediate difference in the workplace. Once we have achieved a critical faculty size, we will turn our attention to the physical environment with an additional building. The recently completed renovation to our existing Melcher Hall has given Bauer College students a home to work in that is completely wireless, comfortable and has a Starbucks® ready to deliver a jolt of caffeine at any hour between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. In November of this year, we’ll undergo re-accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) to access our progress over the past 10 years. I have no doubt that the good things that have been happening here will be reflected in the report by Deans of peer schools who will be visiting us. We have already been honored by an invitation to our Associate Dean, Elizabeth Anderson-Fletcher, to provide a chapter in the AACSB Best Practices book on Business School Assessment. We’re proud of our faculty, who continue to receive awards and honors for their professional contributions. We also take great pride in the success of our alumni. We’re one of the top business schools in terms of producing major business leaders. Three Bauer graduates are now CEOs of S&P 500 companies. This year we saw another Bauer alum, Aylwin Lewis, MBA ‘90, BBA Management ‘76, become CEO of Kmart and shortly thereafter, when Kmart and Sears merged, become President of Sears Holdings, CEO Sears Retail. Additionally, we have many distinguished alumni who are executives of Fortune 500 companies and large private corporations. Being located in the energy capital of the world suggests that we’d have a disproportionate number of gradu- ates in executive positions in energy-related companies. That’s certainly true, but the breadth and quality of our programs continue to produce leaders in other sectors as well. In areas from retailing (Karen Katz, CEO Neiman Marcus Stores) to banking (Dominic Ng, Chairman, President & CEO, East West Bancorp and Charles McMahen, recently retired Vice Chairman of Compass Bank) to finance (Ted Bauer’s $40 million endowment recognized the role played by our graduates in the success of his organization) to healthcare (David Callender, Associate Vice Chancellor, UCLA Hospital System Center), Bauer grads are leading prominent businesses and organizations around the country. Many of our remarkable graduates are featured in this report. They serve as role models for the next genera- tion of business leaders. Together with our faculty, staff, partners, and benefactors, I work every day to merit the confidence our students have placed in us. Arthur Warga Dean, Bauer College of Business and Judge James A. Elkins Professor On the shoulders of giants

  • 14. The Program for Excellence in Selling focuses on the expertise needed for business-to-business sales of high-value goods and services. The most important high-value commodity our students learn to sell is them- selves. Over the course of the program, in addition to specialized coursework, each student participates in a strategic, progressive real- world sales challenge. The sales targets are the businesses for which our students want to work upon graduation, and the process creates long-term relationships where students learn and businesses receive access to a continuing source of emerging talent. Delivering results for the business community PES works closely with a number of local and regional businesses, including: A significant milestone for the program was the establishment of the College’s Sales Excellence Institute, which also includes the Strategic Selling and Customer Relationship Management Center and the Global Sales Research Center. With the assistance of two advisory boards —one business and one academic—the Institute sponsors and publishes original research on sales issues. Reflecting the value that the Institute is providing to local businesses, Hibernia Bank donated $50,000 to the Institute. “Sooner or later, every business must make the sale,” said Bob New, President, Hibernia Bank, Houston, “and it’s amazing to me that very few college programs approach the topic at all. We credit both the University and the selling program’s leadership for turning out exactly the kind of people we like to hire. We’re tremendously excited about our involvement.” 2004 12 OCTOBER Building stronger connections The Program for Excellence in Selling is creating career success for students —and delivering both top-notch talent and valuable research to area businesses. The real-world sales challenge In the first semester, students learn the principles of selling and role play as buyers and sellers. Then they apply to enter the PES program. Sixty out of 200 applicants are accepted every semester. During the second semester, PES students make personal calls to local businesses where they are interested in working. The “sales call” is made to sell jackets, but each jacket purchased really represents a commitment by the company to mentor the student. Students also sell tickets to play in the program’s semi-annual golf tournaments. The fall 2004 tournament drew a field of 225. In the final semester, students practice sales management in teams to meet sales quotas. They sell ads in the PES magazine, Sellebrations, and tables to the semi-annual sales career fair. The fall 2004 Sales Mixer drew 72 companies. Students have the option to take Key Accounts Selling in which they learn how to sell to senior- level executives. They are accompanied on live sales calls by PES instructors and staff. They sell corporate partner- ships and tables to the graduation and induction cere- monies. During 2004, 23 businesses became PES part- ners at either $10,000 or $25,000, giving them first access to hiring opportunities. Abbott Labs - Ross Div.

After her marriage to LeRoy Melcher in 1935, Lucile’s grandfather urged her to share the benefits of the couple’s future financial success in Houston. “You should give your part,” he said. Lucile and her husband spent a lifetime honoring that advice. The Bauer College today resides in Melcher Hall, and the University was just one of many beneficiaries of the Melchers’ philanthropy. Lucile was also very active in the Houston community, funding scholarships, medical research and public television. We remain profoundly grateful for the contributions of the many giants who have helped us fulfill our academic mission. Lucile Melcher 1912-2004 Learning. Leading.
