Since awarding the region's first business degree in 1930, The Weatherhead School of Management's spirit of innovation has been the driving force that has elevated the University's management programs to national prominence. Among these innovations are the nation's first Ph.D. program in Operations Research, one of the first academic divisions of management information systems, and the first integrated network of IBM personal computers for M.B.A. instruction.

The School of Management at Case Western Reserve University was created in 1967 through the federation of Western Reserve University and Case Institute of Technology. In 1980, in recognition of the support and achievements of Cleveland's entrepreneurial Weatherhead family, the School was named the Weatherhead School of Management.

Today, the Weatherhead School offers academic programs leading to bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees, as well as certificate and executive education programs. Our students are an outstanding and diverse group, selected for their superb academic records, work experience and intellectual and personal attributes. This combination of excellence and diversity assures that the Weatherhead School will produce effective leaders for the regional, national and international business communities.

The Weatherhead School of Management has been fully accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business since 1958.

MISSION

The Weatherhead School is an international center of management scholarship committed to preparing and enhancing organizational leadership. The School is dedicated to making discoveries of enduring consequence, to developing innovative educational programs, to fostering strategic partnerships with students and organizations, and to providing services to multiple communities. The School delivers measurable value to its constituencies through its scholarly commitment to discovery, learning, and service:

• Through the scholarship of discovery, we develop, integrate, and apply new ideas through traditional research and pioneering approaches which transcend conventional boundaries;
• Through the scholarship of learning, we create an environment in which students develop the knowledge and skills to be effective leaders in their professions and communities; and
• Through the scholarship of service, our faculty and students share their knowledge to achieve significant outcomes with partner organizations, our alumni, our community, and our world society.

VISION

The Weatherhead School of Management aspires to be the world-wide leader in developing an outcome orientation in its missions of discovery, learning and service, in achieving a consistent record of innovation, and in creating a learner-centered environment, emphasizing an active learning partnership among students, faculty and organizations. Because of its distinctive record of achievement in these three areas, the School will be recognized by students and key external stakeholders - - academic colleagues, organizational leaders, and the larger community - - as one of the top management schools in the United States and in the world.

CORE VALUES

Five core values unite the faculty and staff of the Weatherhead School as management educators, scholars, and colleagues within the University community. These core values express the ethos of our School as well as our aspirations for its future. They guide us in our missions of discovery, learning and service, and will be reflected in all of our efforts:

• We have an overriding scholarly commitment to create and share knowledge for the common good.
• We aspire to make contributions of enduring consequence. We continually strive for outcomes that influence and ultimately change the way people think and act.
• We believe management should be a noble profession, committed to the enhancement of human life, to innovation, to leadership and to the creation of healthy organizations.
• We value a diverse community, characterized by open dialogue and mutual respect among individuals with different specializations, backgrounds, cultures and perspectives.
• We are a learning organization, valuing the abilities to reflect upon and alter assumptions and to pioneer in unexplored territory. We are committed to increasing individual creative capacities, nurturing new and expansive patterns of thought, achieving collective aspirations, and encouraging lifelong learning.
