Our Teaching Approach
"Management is a practice, like medicine, and the model should have been the medical school, where the bulk of the most important teaching…is performed by practitioners."
Unlike medicine, where you can bring sick patients into the hospital, business education does not allow you to bring an organization into the classroom. You can, however, bring experience in through your faculty and students. Business educators should be out as practitioners where the problems and results are.”
