Almanac, 09/06/88, Vol. 35, No. 03 Insert The Lauder Institute: The First Five Years The Joseph H. Lauder Institute of Management and International Studies was founded in October, 1983 through the vision and generosity of Penn alumni Leonard Lauder W'54 and Ronald Lauder W '65. The 10 million dollar gift honored their late father, Joseph H. Lauder, co- founder of Estee Lauder Inc. "Joseph Lauder used to tell his sons that he was concerned about the lack of education available for Americans conducting business overseas. He perceived that Americans were at a disadvantage in the international marketplace because so often they knew little or nothing about the language, culture, and customs of the country with which they were dealing." To meet this challenge, the Institute was established by the Wharton School and the School of Arts and Sciences. A faculty council which reported to the Provost, Tom Ehrlich, and was chaired by the Insti- tute's founding Director, Professor Jerry Wind, was formed. The Council, with the assistance of the two deans and the Board of Governors, estab- lished the Institute's mission, goals and strategies. These goals were: " to develop a program that will prepare future business leaders who can operate comfortably and effectively in a language and cultural environment other than their own: " to attract to the Institute the best and brightest students who combine a commit- ment to international business with a Renaissance perspective: " to find the best placement for these students and thus enhance and improve the internationaliiation of the corporate community: " to establish close links between the program and the international business community: " to stimulate the international orientation, research and teaching of the faculty: " to serve as a model for the internationalization of management education. As the Institute celebrates its first five year anniversary, we can proudly point to the attainment of our original objectives: the Institute's dual degree MBA MA program educates Americans and students from other countries about the prob- lems, prospects of and approaches for doing business in the changing global economy. Overall, the purpose of this report is to delineate our specific achievements and to assess the impact the Institute has had on students, faculty, and the business community. We conclude by identifying some of the future challenges facing the Institute.
