Leon C. Megginson (1921 - 2010) was a professor in the business school at Louisiana State University (1952-1977),[1] the University of South Alabama (1977-1999) and the J. L. Bedsole Professor of Business Studies at the University of Mobile as of 1999. He published extensively in the academic literature.[1]
