Dr. Robert N. McGrath, PhD, MBA, PMP, graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy and served five years in logistics fields. He worked in aerospace environments as a logistician, engineer, and manager for Texas Instruments, General Electric Aircraft Engines, and the Lockheed Aeronautical Systems Company. He completed a PhD in business administration at LSU, and entered academia full-time. He served as MBA/EMBA program director, and was director of the largest online project management curriculum in the world. He has published over 75 scholarly, pedagogical, and practitioner items. In 2007, he became a PMI Project Management Professional (PMP) and afterwards, taught mostly online. He is now retired to continue writing. His 1996 PhD dissertation addressed the electric vehicle industry of that day, a content analysis of 2,000 media items of biases for and against battery technologies as theory would predict. The events that have transpired since 1996 are consistent with that dissertation, motivating further study culminating in this book series.
