Dr. Michael Brusco is the Haywood & Betty Taylor Eminent Scholar in Business Administration and a professor in the Department of Business Analytics, Information Systems and Supply Chain at Florida State University’s College of Business. His academic specialty is operations management, and he teaches courses in the MBA and Master of Science in Business Analytics (MS-BA) programs. From 1988 to 2000 his research focused primarily on mathematical models and methods for workforce staffing and scheduling problems and was published in journals in the fields of operations research and management science (Management Science, Naval Research Logistics, Operations Research). Since 2000 his research has focused mostly on clustering, sequencing, and variable selection problems in business and the social sciences and has been published in journals in the fields of marketing (Journal of Marketing, Journal of Marketing Research, Marketing Science), industrial engineering (IIE Transactions, Optimization Letters), computational statistics (Computational Statistics and Data Analysis, Statistical Analysis and Data Mining, Technometrics), network analysis (Network Science, Social Networks), general science (Science, Nature Reviews Methods Primers, PLoS ONE), and quantitative psychology (Journal of Mathematical Psychology, Multivariate Behavioral Research, Psychological Methods, Psychometrika). Recently, he has also focused on the development of Excel spreadsheets for business analytics and operations management courses and this work has appeared in several pedagogical journals (Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education, INFORMS Transactions on Education, Spreadsheets in Education). He serves on the editorial review board of Psychological Methods and as an associate editor for the British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology.
He earned his bachelor’s degree in marketing from Florida Atlantic University. His MBA and Ph.D. in information and management sciences are both from Florida State University.
