As he looks to keep Kellogg at the forefront of management education, Dean Jain has identified three areas – team, thought and market leadership – which define his vision. Success in all three areas will ensure the growth of the Kellogg School.

According to Dean Jain, "We are committed to providing all of our students with a well rounded academic experience - one that combines rigor, relevance and the opportunity to develop the personal skills needed to be a successful leader in a global, knowledge-based economy."

Team leadership will be taught through experiential lessons in the classroom, extracurricular workshops and student-run conferences. Thought leadership will occur through path-breaking research co-created by faculty, students, and alumni. And market leadership focuses on Kellogg anticipating future trends and recommending solutions to the market place.
