Mission Statement

Boston University School of Management, through its faculty’s research, develops new ideas and insights for business scholars and practitioners. The School also prepares undergraduate and graduate students to become innovative, ethical leaders in a globalized world. By fusing the art, science, and technology of business, the School creates leaders with deep competencies in traditional business disciplines and in the application of new technologies for strategic and operating advantage. Trained in advanced teaming skills, our graduates think holistically about business and understand both the strengths and the limitations of management systems.

The Boston Advantage

Is this the world’s best college town? With 60 colleges and universities, we think so. Boston, during the academic year, hosts more than 100,000 students and all the businesses and entertainment that cater to them. A World-Class Hub of Business and Entrepreneurial Resources

The city also boasts possibly more researchers and PhDs per capita than anywhere else on Earth. That means an unparalleled concentration of intellectual, business, entrepreneurial, and scientific organizations that seek and reward a constant inflow of fresh young minds with new energy and new ideas.

Sure, some of the folks here talk a little funny. But we take education seriously. Not to mention our cultural assets (architecture, art, museums, libraries, symphony), historical landmarks, restaurants and clubs, shopping, and our college and pro sports teams. The School itself is just two blocks away from the Fenway Park where the Red Sox play.

Boston is a fascinating, walkable city with an excellent public transit system. Yet nearby you will find ocean and lake beaches, mountains, and wilderness. Home to major financial institutions, the world’s premier hospitals, high tech, bioscience, and more, Boston's universities and local firms enrich each other.

When you attend Boston University School of Management, you get Boston, too. Use it to your advantage.

课程信息

At Boston University School of Management, our greatest distinction arises from this fusing of the art, science, and technology of business, a comprehensive approach essential for effective organizational leadership. The Science of Business

Business schools have long focused on “management science”—the quantitative disciplines of finance, accounting, statistics, operations, etc. Businesses use these quantitative tools for decision making and management “control”—as in establishing budgets and assigning performance objectives. Such controls are essential but far from sufficient. What’s missing is an understanding of the limitations of the measurement systems, namely “the art of business.” This is an area difficult to teach—and historically under-addressed by business schools—and yet it’s vitally important for effective organizational leadership.

The Art of Business

Contemporary business leaders must have an ability to think beyond the data analyses, to probe potential outcomes not predicted by the numbers. They need to “think horizontally” across an organization, anticipating consequences and using informed intuition in combination with rigorous quantitative analysis. They must have a “feel” for a business, well-honed interpersonal skills, and an ability to envision possibilities—all part of the “art” of business integrated in all our curricula.

In organizations, when individuals are measured and rewarded on personal functional performance, they have little incentive to prioritize team results. Business schools have always engaged students in “teams.” But, like many corporate teams, they’ve been simply “groups.” Unless group members have a measurable, personal stake in each other’s success, they’re not a team. As part of our training in the art of business, members of our student teams have a clear, measurable stake in each other’s learning (because individual grades are affected). Helped by the GE Foundation over a decade ago, our School of Management created the Center for Team Learning as a resource for students and faculty. One corporate recruiter observed, “your faculty has made a science of the art of teaming.”

The Technology of Business

Technology is changing how business is conducted as profoundly as did the industrial revolution. Students at Boston University School of Management study with our world-class Information Systems faculty—ranked #2 in the world by Financial Times. In addition, the School offers a one-of-a-kind MBA experience known as the MS·MBA. (Approximately half of our full time MBA students are enrolled in the MS·MBA program.) This intensive program trains aspiring CEOs and entrepreneurs by combining a full, uncompromised MBA program with a Master of Science degree in Information Systems. We think of it as the next-generation MBA program.

Summary

The role of business builders and leaders is, in the final analysis, to improve the lives of others. Effectively led organizations are a boon to their communities and, by extension, to the world. At Boston University School of Management, we take very seriously our responsibility to train and educate leaders who will beneficially impact all those touched by their work. We do that through a unique and demanding curriculum.
