What brings the Unit together is an aspiration to be the world’s leading developer and disseminator of knowledge relevant to business strategists, through research rooted in practice and intensely engaging teaching.

With time, candidates are expected to become strong, effective teachers. We encourage faculty to develop elective courses closely tied to their research agendas and to exploit complementarities between research and course development.
