    RUTGERS BUSINESS SCHOOL Spring 2019 CONCEPTUALIZING THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS EDUCATION A message from Dean Lei Lei In this Spring 2019 issue of the Rutgers Business School Impact Report, our cover story highlights the 4th annual Innovations in Graduate Business Education Conference which brought together academic leaders from more than 50 business schools across the country to Rutgers. The theme of the conference – “Lifelong Learning in the Digital Era” – signals a shift in the way business schools are providing knowledge – not just to students in their 20s, but as a way of engaging with alumni when they need new knowledge to remain effective throughout their careers. We also feature timely research from Professor John Cantwell about how immigration benefits global business and professor Tobey Scharding explores whether bitcoin is an ethical currency. Two of our faculty won prestigious awards: Andrzej Ruszczynski won the George B. Dantzig Prize awarded by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics and the Mathematical Optimization Society; and Joanne Ciulla received lifetime achievement awards from both the Society for Business Ethics and the Academy of Management. We were thrilled to be recognized by the Financial Times as the No. 1 public business school in the Northeast U.S. and No. 24 overall in the Americas. The Financial Times also ranked our Executive MBA program Top 10 in the world in economics, corporate strategy, statistics and manufacturing/logistics. The qualities of the Rutgers Business School brand – resilient, resourceful and responsible – are showcased in three inspiring student stories. As the anchor business school of New Jersey, we are proud to highlight the enormous positive social impact The Center for Urban Entrepreneurship and Economic Development has had on our communities.

    Report on Progress Toward 2006–2007 Areas of Emphasis and Effort The Rutgers University Board of Governors and President McCormick have identified five long-term strategic goals for the university related to academic excellence; students and campuses; service and constituency relations; resources for Rutgers; and leadership and administration. Within each strategic goal, the board and the president selected several areas of emphasis and effort for the 2006–07 academic year. This report, part of the annual accountability cycle for President Richard L. McCormick, describes briefly what has been accomplished in each of those areas. ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE Strategic Goal: Improve the quality of Rutgers’ academic programs, especially in areas where there are comparative advantages and opportunities. Areas of Emphasis and Effort for 2006–07 • Complete implementation of the current phases of the initiatives for transforming undergraduate education across the university (New Brunswick/Piscataway, Newark, Camden) o Accomplished.
