Business and Public Policy
Public policy considerations occupy an increasing portion of managers' time, especially in the global arena.
The leaders of tomorrow must be able to perform policy analysis as well as integrate policy issues into their general management thinking. Bringing a wealth of theoretical tools and practical experience to bear on the relationship among business, government, and society, Wharton's Business and Public Policy Department has been an innovative force in research, teaching, and public service. Areas of faculty expertise include deregulation and privatization, technology, public and urban finance, and international industrial policy.
Members of the Business and Public Policy faculty have held presidential appointments on federal regulatory commissions, been managers in large corporations, held research appointments and fellowships in government and not-for-profit think tanks, served on the boards of many corporations, and provided consulting services to international and U.S. government agencies.
Academic Programs
The Business and Public Policy Department offers concentrations in business and public policy at three levels:
In addition, a number of students in other undergraduate and MBA majors opt to take public policy and management courses to broaden their understanding of the wider context in which organizations operate.
Business and Public Policy hosts the Public Policy Forum, a guest lecture series featuring leaders from the public sector. The Department also sponsors (jointly with the Economics Department) an annual lecture on International Policy.
