Reference excerpt

The Weatherhead School of Management is a private business school of Case Western Reserve University located in Cleveland, Ohio. Weatherhead offers programs concentrated in sustainability, design innovation, healthcare, organizational behavior, global entrepreneurship, and executive education. The school is named for benefactor and Weatherchem owner Albert J. Weatherhead III, and its principal facility is the Peter B. Lewis Building.

History

In 1952, Western Reserve University established the School of Business by combining the Cleveland College Division of Business Administration and the Graduate School Division of Business Administration. From its founding until 1988, the activities of the School of Business were divided among the number of buildings in downtown Cleveland and in University Circle. In 1967, the merger of Case Institute of Technology and Western Reserve University created Case Western Reserve University, and the Western Reserve University School of Business absorbed Case’s Division of Organizational Sciences to become the School of Management in 1970. In 1976, the school launched its first full-time MBA. In 1980, the School of Management was renamed in honor of Albert J. Weatherhead, III, a Cleveland businessman and industrialist, following his $3 million gift to the school. In 1988, space on the Case Quad within what is now known as Nord Hall, then Enterprise Hall, was specially converted to house the growing Business Management program. This was made possible by funding from five leading Cleveland companies: Ohio Mattress, Nesco, Premier Industries, Parker Hannifin, and Keithley Industries. In 2002, the new Peter B. Lewis Building was completed to house the management school. It was designed by internationally known architect Frank Gehry. The School of Management has about 1600 students annually.

Campus

The Weatherhead School of Management is housed in the Peter B. Lewis Building, located at the corner of Bellflower Road and Ford Drive. Designed by Frank Gehry and completed in 2002, the building has an area of approximately 150,000 square feet (14,000 m2) and stands five stories tall. It is named after Cleveland philanthropist Peter B. Lewis, who donated $36.9 million towards its construction. The building's decentralized design was chosen so that, "Faculty offices, classrooms and meeting areas are distributed on every floor to encourage informal interaction and complement the Weatherhead School's learner-centered curricula."

The Center for Business as an Agent of World Benefit The Center was launched on June 24, 2004. Much of the Center's effort in all three action domains – research, pedagogy, and outreach – were manifested in 2006 at the Global Forum for Business as an Agent of World Benefit convened by the Case Weatherhead School of Management, the Academy of Management, and the United Nations Global Compact. The Forum attracted more than 400 leading scholars and business leaders from 40 countries; another 600 participated virtually. The Center created new partners for the school, including Toyota, Coca-Cola, Novartis, Lafarge, Sherwin Williams, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, and others.

Academic programs

Undergraduate Weatherhead offers traditional four-year programs in the following areas:

BS in Accounting - For students pursuing the BS in accounting, integrated study options enable attainment of a Master's of Accountancy degree in five years or less, satisfying the 150-hour requirement to sit for the CPA examination in most states. BS in Management (with majors in either Finance or Marketing) BA in Economics All students in the undergraduate program are able to pursue minors in accounting, economics, entrepreneurship, finance, leadership, or marketing.

Engineering students can pursue a minor in economics or management, and sequences in economics and management/entrepreneurship.

MBA

Full-time/Traditional: A traditional 2-year program with a variety of electives and experiential learning opportunities. Global MBA: A full-time MBA program in which students study for a semester each in China, India, and the United States (Cleveland, Ohio). Part-time: A 3-year program that offers the same business concepts of the full-time MBA program. Designed to meet the time constraints of employed students. Executive MBA: Participants in the EMBA program arrive with an average of 15 years of professional experience and aim to ascend to senior leadership roles. Dual Degrees: In late 2008, Weatherhead consolidated many of its programs under two separate but interdisciplinary core initiatives. Weatherhead’s joint degree programs offer a complementary education strategy to enable connections between the MBA program and a specific industry career concentration. Programs available include:

MBA/JD (Juris Doctor) MBA/MSSA (Master of Science in Social Administration) MBA/MAcc (Master in Accounting) MBA/MD (Medical Doctorate) MBA/MIM (Master in International Management) MBA/MSN (Master of Science in Nursing) MBA/MPH (Master of Public Health) MBA/MSM - Operations Research MBA/MSM - Supply Chain Management MBA/MGM (Master in Global Management) MBA/MS-Medical Physiology MBA/MS-Biochemistry Dual Degree Collaboration:

MSM-Finance and Tongji MBA Dual-Degree Program

PhD Programs The Weatherhead School of Management offers PhD degrees in disciplines such as information systems and organizational behavior. In 2010, the Financial Times ranked the school's doctoral programs 13th in the world.

Doctor of Management (DM) and PhD in Management The Doctor of Management is a 54-credit-hour, three-year lock-step program for people intending a business, rather an academic, career, and is based on the expectation that the practitioner-scholar will develop the ability to think critically about problems confronting an organization. The D.M. degree was pioneered at Case Western Reserve. The PhD in Management prepares interdisciplinary scholar-practitioners for academic careers. Candidates may specialize in one of three areas: Accountancy, Designing Sustainable Systems and Design & Innovation.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Weatherhead School of Management

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Weatherhead School of Management claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In earth science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Weatherhead School of Management before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Weatherhead School of Management ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Weatherhead School of Management

In research: Weatherhead School of Management appears in earth science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Weatherhead School of Management in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Weatherhead School of Management is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1952 establishments in Ohio, Business schools in Ohio, Case Western Reserve University, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Weatherhead School of Management outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
