I really loved him. His lectures are great and I think he is the most knowledgeable professor I have ever had at Northeastern. I will say the course is a bit demanding and you have to participate to do well. If you are someone that wants to just show up and get an A, this maybe isn't for you, but I highly recommend him.STRT4501 2026-05-01 03:27:07 +0000 UTC
Issues with fairness and professionalism, inconsistent treatment of students, played favorites which affected grading. When students asked for feedback on grades, he would often bring up unrelated past incidents from earlier in the semester instead of focusing on the work itself. Also short temper, can be rude, dismissive, acted without restraint.STRAT 2026-04-09 21:41:56 +0000 UTC
Prof. Giglio does not care about students.BUSINESS 2024-01-04 07:30:18 +0000 UTC
Great Professor! Really cares about his students. Makes you work for the grade but worth the time and effort. Highly recommend if you really want to learn how to create an effective strategy!STRAT00 2021-12-05 20:57:58 +0000 UTC
Professor Giglio is one of the most effective teachers I've had at NEU. Each and every session incorporates a concrete theme that ties into business or corporate strategy. Be prepared to work hard and think critically (33% of grade is participation btw), and you will leave with a foundation for strategy formulation and execution.STRT6200 2016-12-09 13:04:50 +0000 UTC
Giglio isn't an easy professor and you can tell he's proud of it. So, if you can’t handle constructive criticism than you're not going to do well in his class or in the real world for that matter. If you want to be challenged and are looking for the most ROI from your time spent in classroom than look no further.CEO 2013-08-05 16:10:29 +0000 UTC
Professor Giglio has high expectations and expects students to step up to the plate. Far and away the best professor I had at Northeastern.MGMT6200 2010-04-26 23:25:15 +0000 UTC
Giglio has a strong personality. He does not respond well to suck-ups or those who think they are entitled to good grades. At the graduate level, you need to impress this prof with your thought process, work ethic and applications. He cultivates executives not middle management. I had success with him & I will have success in the job market!MGTG200 2010-03-04 13:53:13 +0000 UTC
I just finished this class, Giglio is a good teacher and his class is actually challenging (OMG! Run!). The reason people are bashing Giglio is because they are the people in the MBA program that think they deserve B's just for showing up for class and mooching off their peers on group projects. If you actaully value your education take this courseMGTGMGTG 2009-04-29 12:13:50 +0000 UTC
Complete idiot. We were walking back to his office and he said, "I am talking the elevator, (pointed) you take the stairs." Thinks he is God.MTG200 2006-10-09 12:19:59 +0000 UTC

Easily the worst class I have taken so far in graduate school. A bit of an egomaniac- which would be acceptable if he were a better teacher. Save yourself the headache and find a different professor.206 2005-04-26 07:08:24 +0000 UTC
As a businessman, Mr. Giglio is extremely qualified, knowledgeable, and experienced. His teaching style, however, is intimidating and discouraging. Students are not encouraged to ask questions or seek meaningful feedback on their work.MGT3840 2003-04-10 10:19:48 +0000 UTC
Professor Giglio is highly respected and professional. His course is thoughtfully organized and intellectually engaging, providing students with both a deep and practical understanding of the subject matter (His course is well worth taking).STRT4501 2025-05-29 08:46:36 +0000 UTC
Professor Giglio is easily one of the best professors at Northeastern. He expects a lot from you, but know he puts in the same effort. He genuinely cares about his student's interests.
