USF professor named 'most prolific'

A business professor at the University of South Florida in St. Petersburg hasn't let his teaching load stand in the way of scholarly publication.

Hemant Merchant, who specializes in international business strategy, has been ranked the 10th most prolific international management scholar in the world, according to USF. The ranking is based on reports in the top three international business journals from 2001 to 2009.

Another study published in Management International Review ranks Merchant the fourth most prolific international management scholar in the United States.
