Don Jacobs, Dean Emeritus and Gaylord Freeman Professor of Banking at the Kellogg School of Management, on what it took to build a world-class business school
During a visit to the Indian School of Business (ISB), Donald Jacobs, Dean Emeritus and Gaylord Freeman Professor of Banking at the Kellogg School of Management, spoke with K Ramachandran, Thomas Schmidheiny Chair Professor of Family Business and Wealth Management at the ISB. They discussed how the Kellogg model came to revolutionise management education more than 50 years ago and lessons for the ISB in the Kellogg experience. K Ramachandran: Kellogg alumni have conferred on you the title of Master Entrepreneur. To me you have always been a master institution-builder. When you took charge of Kellogg, it was a little-known, small business school, and you built it up into the number one in the world. In those days, as I understand, business schools were seen as glorified trade schools.
What did you do differently?
