The School's William Davidson Institute is evolving into a leading center of expertise on business in transitional and emerging economies. Research and collaboration are fostered through a variety of institutes and programs. Tenured and tenure-track faculty are the primary teachers in the executive education programs, providing a continuous feedback loop between their own research interests, their industry consulting, connections back to the undergraduate and graduate programs and their associations with business professionals who come to take executive education offerings. Courses are offered in tracks that include general management programs, corporate strategy and operations management, international business, managerial leadership, human resources, accounting and finance, and marketing and sales. Upon recommendation of the President, the Regents appoint the Dean.
