Reviews

James Doti has done a masterful job of portraying the complex job of college president as a leader and visionary. Unlike many presidents, not only was he the chief architect of the repositioning of Chapman, but he also did the modeling and econometrics behind the strategic use of tuition pricing and discounting, as well as other initiatives to accomplish his goals and provided clear metrics to assess outcomes. A very instructive read for college presidents and administrators, and helpful for boards to understand what one should expect from their president. -- Lucie Lapovsky * Principal, Lapovsky Consulting * Jim Doti is a brilliant leader and an impactful author. His extraordinary career has given birth to this outstanding book. I read it, learned from it, and I highly recommend it. It’s a great work. -- Nido R. Qubein * President, High Point University *

Author Information

James Doti earned his B.S. degree in economics from the University of Illinois, Chicago, and his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Chicago. He was appointed president of Chapman University in 1991 and served for 25 years. In September 2016, he returned to the Chapman faculty. He holds the Donald Bren Distinguished Chair in Business and Economics. Dr. Doti joined the Chapman faculty in 1974. In 1978, he founded the A. Gary Anderson Center for Economic Research to provide data, facilities and support to encourage faculty and students to engage in research of high quality, and to widely disseminate the results. The Center’s inaugural Orange County Forecast, presented in December 1978, was the first economic forecast in the U.S. to be based on an urban econometric model. The Economic Forecast has continued to be a main focus of the Anderson Center’s work, growing in scope and widely recognized for its statistical accuracy. Over the 2004 through 2014 period, Chapman’s real GDP forecasts were more accurate than the forecasts issued by all 30 agencies participating in the Blue Chip Economic Indicators surveys. The Chapman forecast model also outperformed the highly regarded Blue Chip Consensus forecast. Dr. Doti’s articles have appeared in academic journals as well as periodicals such as The Wall Street Journal and The Chronicle of Higher Education. His frequent op-eds appear in the Orange County Register, and he is a regular columnist for Orange County Business Journal. Dr. Doti is a recipient of the Horatio Alger Award and the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.
