Jerry Conover is the new director for IU’s Indiana Business Research Center (IBRC). He replaces economist Morton Marcus, who had headed the center since 1985.
Prior to coming to IU, Conover directed the Bureau of Business and Economic Research at Northern Arizona University, where he also was professor of marketing. He directed NAU’s MBA program from 1990-1994 and previously had served on the marketing faculty at the University of Arizona.
In Arizona, Conover helped shape economic development strategy for the state and its local areas. He frequently contributed to statewide and regional economic development initiatives, including development of an economic plan for the bi-national region comprising the state of Arizona and Sonora, Mexico. He and his colleagues played a key role in a major study of the Arizona economy leading to a 10-year plan to increase the state’s competitiveness.
The IBRC, founded in 1925, provides data and analyses essential to understanding the economy of the state, its local areas and the nation as a whole. It works closely with government agencies, businesses and nonprofit organizations to provide insight into conditions affecting their missions.
