Faculty
The Kellogg
School faculty is an esteemed group of scholars, with
international reputations for path-breaking research in their
fields. Through their research, Kellogg faculty provide a
rich source of international experience in management issues
and practices. Senior faculty members also teach courses to
practicing managers through Kellogg's executive
programs. This teaching complements faculty research by
allowing faculty to classroom test the knowledge generated
through research.
All Kellogg
courses combine theory and practice. Teaching methods include
case analysis, field study, seminars, simulations, and independent
team-based work. Faculty members choose the method most appropriate
to the material and their individual styles.
Professors
are held to high standards in the classroom. Each new faculty
member attends an orientation, is assigned a mentor, and participates
in a session on teaching techniques designed specifically
for Kellogg. New faculty do not teach in their first quarter,
so that they may observe more senior colleagues and become
familiar with the Kellogg environment. At the end of each
course, students are given the opportunity to evaluate their
professor. The school posts these evaluations publicly and
the feedback is considered in tenure and promotion decisions.
Research
forms a vital component of Kellogg's program. Kellogg faculty
members are renowned for making groundbreaking contributions
in many academic fields, including marketing, finance, organizational
behavior, and game theory. The school is home to twenty-two
formally recognized research
centers, whose subjects of inquiry range from ethics to
game theory.
In addition,
four scholarly journals are edited at Kellogg, three of which
- the Journal of Financial Intermediation, the Journal
of Economics and Management Strategy, and Games
and Economic Behavior - were founded here. |
