From August 27-30, Drucker students connected with future classmates, advisors, staff, professors, and alumni at the Drucker School’s 4-day orientation for incoming students. The “Effective Management and Ethical Leadership Orientation” was designed to provide an in-depth overview of the Drucker experience for MBA, Financial Engineering, and dual degree students and to begin the process of developing the skills that will be used throughout the entire program. |

A Student’s Perspective:
Incoming MBA student Luis Carlos Pelaez tells about his experience at orientation
|
The first four days of my new life as a member of the Drucker School’s centennial class were slated for one thing: orientation. So what exactly would the next four days entail? As I was soon to discover, a whirlwind of activities awaited. The first three days featured speakers, a crash course on communication, and meaningful networking activities. The events went off like clockwork, which is a clear testament to the quality education and benefits the school strives to deliver to students. Each event was more than just a simple opportunity to learn the names of my classmates. Orientation activities were structured in a way that provided time to learn about other students’ dreams, extracurricular pursuits, and individual motivations for choosing the Drucker School. These are the details that form the foundation for lifelong friendships.
The final day of orientation featured a business case competition for all of the new students. I recognized that this competition was carefully designed as the capstone of our orientation experience. My teammates and I had a diverse array of background experiences to factor into our case strategy. This was a golden opportunity to apply the leadership lessons we learned from our first speaker, Bob Stone. Using the knowledge he provided in concert with the workshop methodologies from the previous days, we were able to recognize our team’s inherent strengths. We then applied fundamental principles of management to properly allocate our workloads... |

Building Skills in Sustainable Business

| Drucker students won 1st place in the 2009 Net Impact Case Competition which supports and promotes sustainable business practices |
|
Sustainable business has evolved beyond a topic of discussion and grown into a wide set of skills, covering multiple disciplines. Managers hoping to address the environmental impacts of business must have a familiarity with the tools being utilized in their discipline, as well as exposure to the tools used in related business disciplines.
With a mission to enable students to think strategically about sustainability and its impact on the entire business process, the Drucker School of Management is now offering an exciting new course, "Topics in Sustainability". The course covers four important areas of sustainable business: Values-based accounting, The science and business of climate change, Policy as it relates to thee, and Green supply chain management. It is designed to introduce and give students practice in these skills as they relate to creating and operating environmentally and socially conscious businesses. It is not designed to be comprehensive, but rather to focus on several discrete and important topics.
The "Topics in Sustainability” course consists of a series of four one-day Saturday workshops throughout the semester, each on a separate topic related to sustainability in business. Each topic will be led by a different instructor with appropriate academic credentials and extensive applied knowledge on the topic.

DRUCKER APPS
It’s back-to-school time across the country, eliciting groans from many a student. But, though they may not see it at the moment, what they are learning will one day help them manage organizations of all sorts, as well as manage themselves. “Managers,” Drucker once said, “draw on all the knowledge and insights of the humanities and the social sciences.” In this edition of Drucker Apps, you’ll find tools to help you understand why management is a liberal art, the way in which work and society connect, why we need to balance words and concepts with results, and how management books “corrupt the style.” These insights—at once timely and timeless—are based on the ideas and ideals of the late Peter F. Drucker, the father of modern management.
