Cheit Award for Excellence in Teaching in 2009 and again in 2011. He was also named the fifth most popular professor at a top U.S. business school by <em>Bloomberg Businessweek<\/em> in 2011. Taylor\u2019s academic interests include the economics of operations management and supply chain management. His core \u201cOperations Management\u201d course looks at operational issues confronted by manufacturing and service companies.
