Management Practices
Our academic research positively affects management practices. We believe that managing is not just about learning and choosing the best alternative; it is about designing new and better ones. As an innovator in business education, Weatherhead is concerned with the practical application of new knowledge. When our research results in demonstrably better management practice, we teach these concepts, collaborate, and consult with businesses to help implement them, and then re-study outcomes for continuous improvement. Weatherhead research is behind several important concepts in today’s management practices that are having a dramatic effect on how businesses operate.
Such transformational concepts as Appreciative Inquiry, Emotional Intelligence, Manage by Designing, Social Entrepreneurship, Business Sustainability, and economic cycles related to Health Systems Management were conceived or reached maturity at Weatherhead and remain an essential part of our experience.
