A resource is defined as an available supply that can be drawn on when needed or something<br />

that can be used for support or help. A strategy is a plan of action resulting from strategy or<br />

intended to accomplish a specific goal.<br />

After taking into consideration those definitions, the importance of having a plan comes to mind.<br />

A plan is needed in order to ensure that resources and strategies are aligned. The four key<br />

elements of that plan are: (1) set your priorities, (2) live life, (3) check your attitude, and (4)<br />

build a network to call upon.<br />

Priorities: Priorities help a person determine what things<br />

need to be accomplished first. It is important to<br />

remember that priorities may require one to take a risk.<br />

Even though they may cause you to take risks and<br />

cause temporary setbacks, the rewards are second to<br />

none.<br />

Live Life: It is important to have a work/life balance.<br />

This can be accomplished through communication and<br />

making people aware of your plans. No one is promised<br />

tomorrow. Take time out for you, and treat yourself to<br />

luxuries. Do not wait for others, as it may never come. If<br />

you are able to fulfill the things in your life that are most<br />

important to you, then you have lived!<br />

Evans, at evanslm04@yahoo.com.<br />

We cannot spell UFSC without U.<br />

Check Your Attitude: Your attitude can and will determine how successful you are at your<br />

career. It can also change the outlook on any situation. Many young professionals look within an<br />

organization for a role model. When a role model is not found, instead of getting discouraged, one<br />

should change their attitude of looking for a role model and become the role model.<br />

Build a Network: Never go at anything alone. Always make sure you have some kind of network<br />

in place. A network will help you get into doors you otherwise might not be able to. Approximately<br />

70% of all work is found through networking.<br />

Lastly, remember to be nice to everyone – because it’s the right thing to do. Anyone you wish to<br />

meet is generally 4 to 5 contacts away; and be careful about making hasty judgments on who can<br />

help you.<br />

STRICTLY BUSINESS<br />

CREDIT WHERE IT’S DUE<br />

Featuring Dr. Jeff Brice, Jr.<br />

Dr. Jeff Brice, Jr. brings to his responsibilities as Assistant Professor of<br />

Management at TSU’s Jesse H. Jones School of Business a varied background<br />

as a successful entrepreneur. He joined the JHJ faculty in the Fall of 2005 with<br />

primary focus on teaching entrepreneurship. His previous academic experience<br />

extends to his work as a consultant responsible for developing curriculum in the<br />

area of entrepreneurial studies. Immediately prior to joining <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Southern</strong><br />

<strong>University</strong>, Dr. Brice was an assistant professor at Hofstra <strong>University</strong> located in<br />

Hempstead, New York. It was here that Dr. Brice single-handedly created and<br />

taught a curriculum degree program in entrepreneurship that was recognized by<br />

Entrepreneur Magazine as one of the top 50 regional programs in the country.<br />

Dr. Brice's professional work history has been entirely entrepreneurial except for a short stint at General Motors in the<br />

Finance Headquarters of the Engineering Division as a requirement during his M.B.A. studies. He has founded and<br />

owned a diversity of firms ranging from film and television production/development to commercial (industrial)<br />

construction to management consulting. Dr. Brice also has an extensive nonprofit development background and<br />

established programs and organizations that target affordable housing, economic development, and entrepreneurial<br />

training for at-risk and disadvantaged communities. Dr. Brice is an active member and reviewer for the Academy of<br />

Management, <strong>Southern</strong> Management Association, and United States Association for Small Business Enterprises. He<br />

is a lifetime member of the National Black MBA Association and is currently the National Alumni Affairs Director for<br />

Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc.<br />

Jeff (as he prefers to be called) has settled on a teaching philosophy that seeks to incorporate a practical application<br />

of realistic entrepreneurial concepts coupled with rigorous examination of critical thinking skills. Entrepreneurship is a<br />

field that forces each participant to integrate the various business disciplines in unique ways to compete successfully<br />

in the market economy. It is the integrative assimilation of dissimilar disciplines that makes the mastery of<br />

entrepreneurship more difficult than the mastery of any other. However, this simulation is realistic since it is much<br />

more problematic to develop a successful business independently than it is to accept traditional corporate<br />

employment. It is Dr. Brice’s earnest belief that JHJ students deserve heightened challenges in order to compete with<br />

their peers from other academic institutions and it is his mission to see that they receive an education that makes<br />

them stand out from the crowd. This is accomplished through a “no-nonsense” holistic approach that not only serves<br />

to instill theoretical and practical business techniques and methodology but also includes tough life lessons about such<br />

topics as single parentage, early marriage, racial discrimination, and other issues that can interfere with the successful<br />

initiation of a new venture. Of course, entrepreneurship is not just relevant for prospective entrepreneurs.<br />

Entrepreneurial skills are a must to prepare students to face the ever-changing marketplace whether they are<br />

independent business owners or climbing the corporate ladder.<br />

“The lifeblood of any academic institution is support from those who attended, learned, and became successful”, says<br />

Jeff, “and entrepreneurship is one of the few ways that individuals can legally attain extraordinary wealth.” So, not<br />

only is entrepreneurial training a good choice academically but it can also help to solidify the future of the university<br />

through patronage, charitable contributions, and other support from well-heeled alumni. It is through this long-term<br />

purpose that Dr. Brice hopes to make a difference at <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />

Dr. Jeff Brice Jr. earned a Ph.D. in Management with concentrations in Business Strategy and Entrepreneurship from<br />

the Mississippi State <strong>University</strong> College of Business and Industry. He holds an M.B.A. in finance and marketing from<br />

Clark Atlanta <strong>University</strong>, and he completed his undergraduate work at Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee <strong>University</strong>).<br />

JHJ HAPPENINGS<br />

STRICTLY BUSINESS<br />

The <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>University</strong> Chapter of the National Association of Black Accountants (NABA), held<br />

its Second Annual Awards Banquet on Wednesday, April 19, 2006. It was held to honor its members<br />

who have excelled academically and within NABA for the past school year as well as to give thanks to<br />

the members of the JHJ faculty and staff who have supported and assisted the organization throughout<br />

the year. The theme for this year’s banquet was “Aligning Your Resources and Strategies to<br />

Achieve Success.”<br />

Ms. Hadassah Wagner, Senior Manager in the Financial Services Investment Management practice of<br />

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), was the keynote speaker for the event. She has been with PwC for<br />

over ten years, and when asked why she has been there so long, she replied that “besides the fact that I<br />

never get bored and I am always learning, I am primarily there so that young junior professionals who<br />

look like me will find hope and encouragement that this, too, is a place for them.<br />

Adrella Owusu, Ms. Hadassah Wagner, &<br />

Alexander Williams<br />

In her presentation, Ms. Wagner stressed the importance of<br />

having a plan, and provided four key elements of the plan:<br />

(1) set your priorities, (2) live life, (3) check your attitude,<br />

and (4) build a network to call upon. She also stated that<br />

success is relative, and what one person may consider to be<br />

successful may be completely different from someone else’s<br />

measure of success. Additionally, she stated that it was<br />

through her association with organizations such as NABA, that<br />

she was exposed to the field of public accounting. (For more<br />

on her presentation, refer to the Monthly Focus on Page 3.)<br />

On Monday, April 10th, twenty-two students from Lamar<br />

High School, the business magnet school, along with their<br />

instructors Mr. Taron Jones, BCIS teacher and School of<br />

Business alumnus, and Ms. Demetria Norris, English<br />

Teacher, visited the Jesse H. Jones School of Business.<br />

The students attended a college information session and<br />

participated in Dr. Johnnie Williams’ Management 402<br />

class. A luncheon for the students was sponsored by her<br />

as well.<br />

Dr. Jeff Brice, Management Professor, in a presentation to the students during the luncheon, gave<br />

them these words of advice:<br />

Don’t get too involved in relationships because they can take away your creativity and<br />

hinder you. It is hard to be in a marriage when you’re starting a business, because you’re<br />

married to your business and inevitably there will be conflicts.<br />

Don’t just own a business…true entrepreneurship means having a business that can run<br />

itself. You don’t have to work to make your business successful. Have enough skilled<br />

people running your business for it to run itself.<br />

If you own a business and you still have to work 60 to 90 hours per week, you have just<br />

created a position for yourself and the time and money that you have put into creating the<br />

business has been in vain.<br />

NABA members Crystal Oatts, Juanita Foster, and Rachael Gordon received recognition for their<br />

commitment to NABA this year, while faculty advisor, Dr. Ladelle M. Hyman and Ms. Carolyn J.<br />

Hughes, Director of Recruitment and Retention received recognition supporting the organization’s<br />

efforts. Special thanks also goes to Olu Adewoye, Candace Brown, Juanita Foster, Andre Harden,<br />

Charkethia Hodge, and Ardrella Owusu, for making the event a success.<br />

The National Association of Black Accountants is open to all business majors. For more information on<br />

NABA membership or its activities, you may contact them at tsu_naba@yahoo.com.<br />

Ms. Carolyn Hughes, Director of Recruitment & Retention,<br />

facilitated a panel discussion entitled: “How to Thrive and<br />

Survive in College.” Students Candace Brown, Shaneka<br />

Dotson, Phillip Gmenogu, Whitney Jones, Viola King,<br />

Travis Rolfe, Alexander Williams, and Jason Williams<br />

discussed the first year experience, time management, how<br />

to get along with your professors, business programs, and<br />

scholarship opportunities.<br />

costs and increase their sales to world wide distribution over the internet. John said “the excitement on her face<br />

was priceless.” He later met with the owner of a rice farm and showed him how to better manage his crops, cut<br />

overhead and gain 75% more productivity. John also agreed to help the farmer get stateside bids for the supplies<br />

needed for an irrigation system.<br />

Quincey Henderson met with a Belize fisherman who wants to buy more fishing boats. Quincey said that he plans<br />

to team with the owner to gain financing for the boat purchases which is calculated to produce 4000-5000 pounds of<br />

fish for sale to local markets. Quincey said he also met with the owner of a trucking firm who expressed the need<br />

for a freight forwarding office and warehouse in Houston to serve as a mid-point between Miami, Florida and San<br />

Diego, California.<br />

While the students were arranging international business deals, Mr.<br />

Davis met with key education officials to discuss establishing international<br />

BBA and MBA student and faculty exchange programs and<br />

partnerships. Educators that participated in the discussions were Ernest<br />

Raymond, Project Director for the Ministry of Education for the Country of<br />

Belize, Dr. Geraldo Flowers of the <strong>University</strong> of Belize; and Sheldon<br />

Samuels, Minister for Employment Training for Belize City. Mr. Davis’<br />

proposal for an international Student Exchange Program was warmly<br />

received by the Belizean educators. Mr. Davis also met with select<br />

business owners and agreed to help them identify trading partners in<br />

Houston. As part of the JHJ Community Outreach Mr. Davis met with the<br />

student chapter of the Belize City Rotary Club and their adult sponsors<br />

and agreed to assist in their project to raise funds for young HIV<br />

sufferers.<br />

When asked for an evaluation of the Trade Mission, Mr. Davis said the overall assessment of the trade mission is<br />

that it was highly successful and productive for the Houston and Belizean businesses and generated meaningful<br />

contacts and agreements for Education, Tourism, Marketing, Real Estate and Agribusiness. A win-win outcome<br />

was sought and achieved. Achievement summary: 1) A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will be drafted<br />

and sent by Dr. Flowers of the <strong>University</strong> of Belize as an agreed first step in creating the Student Exchange<br />

programs; 2) Belizean and Houston business owners were able to meet and establish trade agreements and<br />

partnerships; 3) The two JHJ students gave good advice to the business owners, and it helped establish<br />

meaningful business relations with four Belizean firms. They have since received e-mails in follow up; and 4) the<br />

newly elected mayoral team of Belize City received a major political boost by the invitation of Houston Mayor Bill<br />

White to officially visit Houston. The Tri-County Black Chamber of Commerce will serve as the official manager<br />

of the visit. In a word, said Mr. Davis, the Trade Mission was “Outstanding!”<br />
