John Rohrbaugh
earned his Ph.D. in social psychology
at the University of Colorado and currently
serves as full professor in the Department
of Public Administration and Policy. Professor
Rohrbaugh's research has focused on
the problem-solving processes of management
groups, executive teams, and expert
task forces in an effort to identify
methods that would improve both the
efficiency and effectiveness of organizational
decision making. His work, ranging
from brief laboratory studies to a
10-year demonstration project in a
field setting, has been published as
articles in over 30 different journals
and as chapters in nearly as many books.
As a consultant and facilitator, Professor
Rohrbaugh has worked with over 35 agencies
of federal and state government in
the United States, as well as participating
on project teams working with governments
in Chile, Egypt, Somalia, Lebanon,
and Hungary. From 2003-2006 he served the University at Albany as Director of the Office of International Education.
