As one of the nation's most respected teachers, my name appeared in the 2003-2004 and 2005-2006 editions of Who's Who Among America's Teachers.

My first book has received the following comment: "On the Role of Paradigms in Finance advances a new and comprehensive view of the research process in finance. This effort is essential reading for all students of financial economics."

My first book has also received the following comment: "In general, I believe that this is a useful book for graduate students in finance and in economics. I also think that this is particularly useful for those finance specialists who are convinced that philosophy of science and methodology have nothing to do with their subject."

My first book has also received the following comment: "This book provides food for thought. It provides abundant diverse sources upon which it draws. We must admire the variety of authors this book brings to bear on the discipline of Finance. While the book emphasizes the narrowness with which mainstream Finance approaches its object, it provides us with systematic alternatives."

My first book has also received the following comment: "On the Role of Paradigms in Finance is an eye-opener! It is the first scholarly work that has applied critical management thinking to the field of finance."

My first book has received the following comment from its publisher: "This book sold well."

My third book has received the following comment: "This book's approach extends notable epistemic judgments for the philosophy of social science."

My tenth book has received the following comment: "Ardalan examines 11 biases of the scientific methodology of mainstream financial economics. Underlying existing methodology is the functionalist paradigm of rationality, which is biased because it presents only a partial picture of economic phenomena. He recommends using a multi-paradigmatic approach to improve understanding. This thought-provoking book is a must-read."

My tenth book has also received the following comment: "Kavous Ardalan provides a fresh and important critique to mainstream approaches in financial economics from a multi-paradigmatic perspective. He Highlights the flaws of dominant approaches but also provides alternative views. Strongly recommended to all scholars and students in the field of finance and economics."
