Scholarly Achievement: Dr. Can Kucukgul Recognized for Research and Service

Scholarly Achievement: Dr. Can Kucukgul Recognized for Research and Service

 

Rutgers School of Business–Camden is pleased to congratulate Dr. Can Kucukgul on two significant accomplishments recognizing his contributions to operations management research and the broader academic community.

Dr. Kucukgul’s first-authored paper, Recommender Systems Under Privacy Protection, co-authored with Özalp Özer and Shouqiang Wang, has been accepted for publication in Management Science, one of the field’s leading journals and an FT50 and UTD24 publication.

The research examines how a profit-driven platform designs recommender policies under varying privacy protection regimes, addressing an increasingly important challenge at the intersection of operations management, digital platforms, information design and consumer privacy. The work contributes to scholarship examining how firms can balance the value of personalized recommendations with growing demands for privacy protection.

The publication represents a significant addition to Dr. Kucukgul’s research portfolio. His scholarship broadly sits at the intersection of operations management and marketing, with a particular focus on revenue management applications of online platforms, market design, information and mechanism design, and data-driven optimization. RSBC’s faculty profile notes that his research has previously been published in Management Science, including his work on information design for online platforms.

Dr. Kucukgul has also been recognized for his contributions to the academic profession through his selection as a recipient of the 2025 Meritorious Service Award from Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM), another FT50 journal. The distinction recognizes his outstanding service to the journal and its broader professional community over the past year.

Together, these accomplishments reflect two important dimensions of faculty scholarship: advancing knowledge through rigorous research and contributing to the scholarly institutions and communities that sustain the field. Dr. Kucukgul’s work demonstrates the School’s commitment to research that addresses complex and consequential questions facing businesses, consumers and digital platforms.

Please join RSBC in congratulating Dr. Can Kucukgul on these well-deserved recognitions and celebrating his continued contributions to the fields of operations management and digital platforms.

Signatures

If I am chosen and matched with an executive, I will follow through and prepare a one-page report giving honest feedback about the experience. The written summary is due by the start of the next semester. By typing my name in the box to the right I am offering my digital signature in lieu of my handwritten signature.

After the shadowing event, I will write a personal thank you letter to the executive and copy Dr. Kaufman-Scarborough and Ms. Bridget Britton for their records. By typing my name in the box to the right I am offering my digital signature in lieu of my handwritten signature.

After notified of a match, students are responsible for providing personal information to the matched executive (e.g., current resume and cover letter with information on career ambitions). The information on this application is for internal use only, for us to match you as well as possible with and executive from among our alumni database.

BLDP Application

The Spring 2023 Application is now open! 

Priority will be given to applications received by November 18. Applications are accepted until all seats are filled. Space is limited, so apply early!

The seminar application process is our gateway for entry into the program. Upon acceptance into BLDP, students will be emailed their acceptance letter plus a special permission number allowing registration for the BLDP seminar.

Requirements

Seminar applications are solicited each semester and require the following:

  1. Completed application form (at the bottom of this page),
  2. For students with GPA 3.0 – 3.49, two (2) letters of recommendation (one academic; one other)

Rutgers-Camden students are invited to apply to apply for enrollment in the BLDP seminar. All applicants are expected to meet both of the following selection criteria:  (1) have sophomore standing or above and (2) have an overall GPA of 3.0 or above. First-semester transfer students will be evaluated based on their GPA earned at Rutgers. Students who fail to meet these admission criteria may still be allowed to apply for (and possibly enroll in) the BLDP seminar, but they will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

The director balances evaluations to make final decisions on people accepted for the seminar (up to a maximum of 15-20 each semester).

Students who are admitted to the BDLP are required to adopt the BLDP Code of Conduct. A signed contract is required from each student.

Students may count activities toward “leadership units” that were initiated prior to taking a seminar, as long as those activities occured primarily during their enrollment in their academic program.

Application for Admission to BLDP Seminar

Applications for the BLDP Seminar will be ongoing until class is filled.
