" As one of the most technologically elite universities in the world, the dedication to cutting edge learning and application underlies everything that we do ? with an approach to business management that allows our students to make a significant impact through analytical decision making.
History
Since its founding in 1949, by William Larimer Mellon, the Graduate School of Industrial Administration has distinguished itself by developing the scientific principles that underlie business management. It has quickly grown into one of the world's premier centers for teaching and research in business management.
Many of the Graduate School of Industrial Administration?s educational innovations have now been adopted by other national and international business schools. For example, the Graduate School of Industrial Administration?s Management Game pioneered the use of computer simulation for experiential learning of business roles, and such simulations have subsequently been eagerly adopted by other institutions. Today, the FAST laboratory is a continuation of the Graduate School of Industrial Administration?s pioneering work in experiential learning.
The Graduate School of Industrial Administration?s faculty have won wide acclaim for research which spans all of the functional areas of business and economics. The school has also produced four Nobel Prize winners in Economics: Robert Lucas, Merton Miller, Franco Modigliani, and Herb Simon. Lucas was awarded the prize for his pioneering work on rational expectations theory and its implications for government macroeconomic and regulatory policies. Modigliani's prize recognized his path-breaking life-cycle theory of consumer savings, an important component in all modern macroeconomic models. Miller's prize was awarded in recognition of his contributions to corporate finance. The results of his research -- in collaboration with Franco Modigliani -- is now taught in every business school in the country. Simon's prize was given for his seminal development of the idea of bounded rationality in economics, and the need to focus on human behavior as well as markets in order to understand the workings of a large industrial economy."
