Mary is unique in that she has had a profound impact on business practice. Many scholars make contributions to research and the state of knowledge in the field, but are not directly involved in business practice like Mary.

The Financial Times publishes a list of the top 50 business journals (the FT50) and Tracy has published many papers in journals on this list in a very short time.
Several of these appear in the premier information systems journal, MIS Quarterly. She has even published a solo-authored paper in MIS Quarterly. She has accomplished a great deal already and is still early in her career.
