NOTES FROM THE DEAN
Diverse Perspectives Fuel Global Success
The success of the school, our students, and alumni increasingly depends on understanding and navigating global markets. Although this idea isn’t original, it suggests an interesting insight. Since all of us are deeply affected by the context in which we developed, we are limited by our background. Global thinking requires exposure to multiple contexts and diverse ideas. This means that a global business school must embrace diversity...
This issue of our electronic newsletter is dedicated to diversity and how the differences among people and ideas make us stronger. Because top talent does not come in one form or flavor, the school strives to create an environment rich in differences so as to generate true global thinking.
