MIT SLOAN SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT

CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS

The MIT Sloan School of Management seeks a Dean equal to its mission and its ambition.

MIT and MIT Sloan have a rare position in the world of academia and in the world economy. They combine one of the great scientific and engineering universities in the world with an exceptional, highly ranked and leading school of management, quantitatively oriented, computationally infused with specialties in technology and entrepreneurship.

The combination is only imaginable in one or two other settings, but unlike its peers, MIT has seized on the opportunity.

With strong leadership, MIT Sloan has linked the School to the Institute. MIT can and does invent the future, and during the deanship of Dr.

David Schmittlein, MIT Sloan and MIT have worked consistently to build joint research and teaching programs with broad impact in the world.

Together, they create and study the swift and vast changes that a knowledge-intensive, science-driven market has invented globally.

Combined, they occupy a unique platform.

MIT is a storied engine of entrepreneurship and economic development. Its faculty, students, and alumni have invented a measurable part of the northeastern, national, and even international economy.

Kendall Square, in its backyard, is home to a dense, fast growing array of biotech, pharma, and computational research and entrepreneurship, spawned directly or indirectly by the many parts of MIT.

The combination of a great management school in a great scientific engineering university, embedded in an ecosystem of wealth creation and entrepreneurship that it invented, has few rivals.

Looking squarely ahead, it is an exceptional platform for knowledge creation and knowledge transmission guiding the future.

The School lives its missions. Its researchers pursue solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges. Its centers and initiatives link faculty, students, private sector partners, and public policy experts to seek answers and make discoveries.

MIT Sloan explores the future of work. Its faculty, staff, and students launch companies that kick-start economies in the developing world.

They retool systems to make health care work better, to address climate change, and to serve as a leader in AI. The study of organizations, in a technological context, aids a challenged, fast-changing world to adapt.

In 1915, MIT Sloan started as an undergraduate engineering course. It became a School in 1950 and has always taken MIT’s motto, Mens et Manus, mind and hand, into its identity, with a vivid commitment to quantitative reasoning and both theoretical and practical results.

In the last generation, the School has grown substantially in scale and eminence but retains the ambition to constantly improve.

MIT has approximately 1,089 tenure track faculty spread over five schools and one college. MIT Sloan grew its tenure track faculty from 96 in 2007 to roughly 115 today.

To strengthen its practical side, the School takes advantage of its position next to Kendall Square and in the MIT business ecosystem to recruit eminent practitioners as teaching faculty.

The mix of tenure track and teaching faculty has added vitality to the program and firmly expresses the MIT motto.

The School has added new degree programs, carefully and systematically. The current portfolio includes eight degree programs for approximately 1,600 students.

It grew its combined MBA / LGO from 790 students in 2007 to over 850 students (combined two years), launched a Master of Finance that has grown from 26 to 125 students, and created the #1 ranked Master in Business Analytics program which, along with the Master of Finance, is now among the most competitive degree programs at MIT.

The School has developed 50 different Executive Education offerings that enroll 5,000 students annually, retooled its Sloan Fellows MBA, launched a new Master of Science in Management Studies that particularly serves its international business school partners with joint degrees, strengthened its PhD program, and redesigned its undergraduate program.

MIT Sloan now offers three undergraduate major options in management, finance, and business analytics, which collectively engage 204 majors and 45 minors, with 44 percent of MIT undergraduate students taking at least one Course 15 class.

MIT Sloan offers joint certificates and a dual-degree program (Leaders for Global Operations) with the School of Engineering and joint degrees with the School of Architecture and Planning and the Kennedy School at Harvard.

The School helps to invent interdisciplinary programs, including Integrated Design and Management and System Design and Management, across the Institute.

Constant innovation is made possible by an increasingly effective MIT Sloan staff, a cadre of over 500, now arrayed across vital functions.

They join faculty and administrators to make MIT Sloan’s development possible. They are essential partners in every endeavor, have added cumulative strength, and are committed to the School and rarely leave.

Progress has strengthened the School’s relationship with MIT Sloan alumni. The School has a loyal and international alumni base of 31,000 who reside in over 121 countries.

They take pride in the School’s trajectory. In order to better engage alumni, the School launched three regional executive boards including the Americas;

Asia; and Europe, the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa, as well as an Alumni Board.

MIT Sloan faces the future confidently. It has a strong history and faith in its mission. It looks forward to the tenure of its next Dean, knowing that it has both challenges and opportunities, often the direct product of its own success.
