Challenges at NYU Stern

Business Week online reports the challenges new Dean Peter Henry faces at the Stern School of Business at NYU. Henry has his undergraduate degree from UNC-Chapel Hill and a PhD from MIT, along with a Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford. Finance is by far the largest concentration at NYU, so Dean Henry faces the challenge of re-orienting the Stern MBA toward a larger range of employers. The first challenge will be for the career center to reach out to companies outside of financial services. But the bigger challenge will involve the faculty -- how does the MBA program re-invent its courses and curriculum?
