Marketing

For decades, Kellogg has been the recognized leader in marketing. At Kellogg, marketing is more than a function or a discipline. It is a mindset, a way of looking at the world that is customer-focused, insight-driven and ever-evolving. The department applies an innovative, multi-disciplinary, research-based approach to developing and testing new theories and educating the next generation of leaders. Kellogg graduates lead organizations that create new markets and deliver superior customer experiences that produce sustainable growth.

Operations

Operations management is the study of how firms organize their resources and recurring activities to achieve their strategic goals. The Operations Department takes an expansive view of the topic. In both teaching and research, faculty consider not just traditional manufacturing topics but also supply chains and services. Faculty are interested in a wide range of industries including retail, transportation and healthcare. Carefully evaluating the inherent trade-offs and identifying the key drivers of operational performance are essential to the long-run success of the organization.

Strategy

The Strategy Department explores how firms create and capture value and how they do so in light of their market environments, organizational capabilities, and regulatory constraints. The department's research and teaching are grounded in microeconomics and reflect its commitment to both rigor and relevance. Strategy courses improve students' understanding of how the decisions of managers shape the economic performance of their firms.

Kellogg Strategic Initiatives

Recognizing that business challenges aren't always confined to particular functions, Kellogg created four strategic cross-disciplinary initiatives.

Architectures of Collaboration (KACI)

Kellogg pioneered the study of negotiations and teamwork in management. This initiative builds upon these critical and dynamic fields to reinvent collaboration through networks, crowds, and human-machine partnerships. KACI lives at the emerging intersection of human behavior, digital networks, and data science.
