UM: Business School

By

Detroit Free Press columnist Tom Walsh interviews Alison Davis-Blake, new dean of the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. She tells Walsh: “Higher education used to be a lot more sleepy. Today all the top schools are deeply invested in nontraditional education – executive MBAs, evening MBAs, weekend MBAs, global MBAs, nondegree executive education. Those are very sensitive to economic downturns and upturns, so you have to be very attuned to your markets … very nimble and adaptable to your marketplace.” [Source]
