He has received several best paper for his research including from the International Decision Sciences Institute, the Internation­al Business Schools Computer Users Group and the North American Management Society / Midwest Business Administration Association. He has authored four books in the compensation, operations management, and operations strategy areas, including Production and Operations Management, coauthored with Don Fogarty and Tom Hoffmann, and Operations Strategy, coauthored with Keong Leong, as well as over fifty academic and practitioner-focused articles. As the recipient of a USIA grant, he spent ten months in the Siberian city of Ekaterinburg teaching management and supply chain operations.

Much of Dr. Stonebraker’s teaching effort is focused toward achieving the efficiencies of virtual pedagogic processes; as a teacher he desires to create an environment to facilitate the transfer and internalization of knowledge.
