Since its founding a century ago, the mission of Harvard Business School has been to educate leaders who make a difference in the world. The achievements of our alumni in diverse organizations and positions of leadership throughout the world are a testament to our commitment to that mission. Central to our success is a remarkable faculty that is close to practice, that creates a deep understanding of business through its research, and that teaches with skill and passion. Our faculty have made the classroom at HBS a special place where learning is an intense, interactive engagement for both our MBA and doctoral students as well as for our executive education participants. The experience goes beyond simply providing skills, tools, or knowledge. It also develops the judgment that is the foundation for a lifetime of leadership in a challenging, rapidly changing world.
