Ross School of Business, Ann Arbor, MI 2009 – 2017 Assistant Professor of Technology and Operations, University of Michigan, Stephen M.

When teaching the undergraduate core class (OMS 311/TO 313), he got a teaching evaluation of 4.5/5.0. This is quite remarkable, as Professor Leider had never taken an Operations Management class before coming to Ross. He quickly transitioned to the role of course lead, where he mentored doctoral students and other faculty teaching the course. Taking advantage of his research background, Professor Leider improved the course materials by introducing behavioral operations into the class and further built on action‐based demonstrations.

    DATA: Data was pulled from UT Dallas for including journals: Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Organization Science, Strategic Management, Administrative Science Quarterly Journal from 2015-2018 for the North American rankings in September 27th, 2019. The UTD "Score" in column E comes from the UTD Website. UTD counts number of papers those in top journals. For each paper UTD divides up credit among the authors. So if a paper has two authors, each school the author list as their affiliation will get .5 added to their UTD Score. In column H, Score / Number of faculty simply divides the UTD Score in column E by the number of faculty in column G. Please see the tab "Faculty Count" for the counts of faculty for each school. Faculty counts are from schools' websites and were pulled in Spring of 2018. If a school has fewer faculty now than reference period, it "helps" the school's per capita ranking because faculty who left contribute papers for numerator UTD Score but not denominator. If a school has more faculty now than reference period, it "hurts" the school's per capita ranking because new faculty's papers are not in the school's UTD score but are in the denominator.

  • 2020 Dean’S Report from the Dean
    2020 DEAN’S REPORT FROM THE DEAN Greetings Michigan Ross Community, The year 2020 was an extraordinary year that not only tested our strength and resilience, but also that motivated us to work even harder to achieve our goals. Guided by our core values, we aimed for academic excellence and aspired to make a positive difference in the world during a global pandemic that impacted how we live, how we work, and of course, how we educate the next generation of business leaders. I am extremely proud of our Michigan Ross community of students, faculty, staff, alumni, and partners across the globe, and I am confident that after reviewing our 2020 Dean’s Report, you too will be proud to be a Wolverine! In fall 2019, we welcomed our inaugural Online MBA class and introduced a state-of-the-art digital education studio that is on the leading edge of innovation in educational technology. We also welcomed our most diverse and accomplished Full-Time MBA Class of 2021 with the highest percentage of women and underrepresented minority students in Ross School history. In addition to a stellar incoming MBA class, our 2019 MBA graduating class set a new record for the highest total salary package, and we were No. 1 in career placement across all U.S. business schools. Our 2019 BBA graduates also set their own records — for example with the highest-ever median salary package for undergraduates at the Ross School. The Ross School continues to be recognized as one of the leading business schools in the world.
