| Faculty
and Teaching Methods
The Kellogg
School faculty is an esteemed group of scholars and practitioners
who provide a rich source of international experience in professional
management and practices. Faculty members combine real-world
and academic knowledge of management challenges to augment
their training in theory. Senior faculty members also teach
courses to senior executives through the Kellogg School’s
executive
programs; those classroom interactions reinforce their
research by keeping faculty members abreast of changes in
corporate practices globally, and they apply that practical
knowledge to their MBA courses.

To create
the optimal classroom experience, professors prepare extensively
throughout their careers. Each new faculty member is assigned
a mentor and learns teaching techniques designed specifically
for the Kellogg curriculum. New faculty generally do not teach
in their first quarter so they may observe best practices
of more senior colleagues and become familiar with the unique
Kellogg culture. At the end of each course, students are given
the opportunity to evaluate the professor. These evaluations
are posted publicly and the feedback is considered in faculty
evaluation, tenure and promotion decisions.
Research
is a vital component of the Kellogg program, and faculty members
have developed groundbreaking theories in many academic fields
such as marketing, finance, negotiations, strategy and game
theory. Kellogg houses more than a dozen research centers
focusing on topics that range from global citizenship to women
in management. Several scholarly journals are edited at Kellogg;
the Journal
of Economics and Management Strategy and Games
and Economic Behavior were founded here.
