In an address to the Memphis’ Certified Commercial Investment Members on June 15, Fogelman College of Business & Economics Dean Rajiv Grover discussed business basics and the role of organizations in improving the business environment in Memphis. Grover stressed organizations like the CCIM need to identify hurdles to business growth in Memphis and then come up with ways to affect change in those areas.

Grover said the economy works through trade, consumption, population growth, creativity/innovation, education and then progress.
