His editorial and authorship roles in works such as Emerging Trends in Japanese Business and the Portraits of Small Business series reflect his deep engagement with international business and organizational development. His presence on PBS and Voice of America further underscores his long-standing dedication to public education.
Beyond his professional achievements, Dr. Linowes is also known for his commitment to family and his wide range of personal interests, from photography and landscaping to singing with the City Choir of Washington. His well-rounded approach to life continues to inspire both colleagues and students.
