Acknowledgments

Lee A. Craig thanks Jeannette Espinoza, Raymond Mikus, and Laura Phillips for their assistance in preparing the tables in this chapter. Alastair Hall provided valuable comments on the essay. This work was made possible in part by funding from the College of Management and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at North Carolina State University; Dean John Bartley, former Dean Richard Lewis, and Director of Graduate Programs Wally Thurman were particularly supportive. In addition, Susan Carter offered considerable editorial guidance with the chapter in general and the essay in particular.
