How faculty work
Teaching is the job
Faculty are judged first on teaching. Every session is reviewed by participants, and every faculty member observes a colleague each term.
- Office hours on every teaching day
- Written feedback on every case analysis within ten days
- At least one new case written each year
- Practitioner faculty still working in industry
Research
What faculty study
Recent themes from our research centre on African firms.
Family firms and succession
How second-generation owners professionalise without losing what made the business work.
Operating through FX swings
How finance teams in import-dependent firms plan, price and hedge.
Trust in teams
What builds accountability in organisations where hierarchy runs deep.
Guest executives
In the room most weeks
Chief executives, regulators and founders join classes to hear participants argue about decisions they once made. They come to learn as much as to share. All guests speak under the school’s confidentiality rule.
Hearing forty managers take apart my decision was the most useful board meeting I had all year.
