The executive MBA students are very focused, and they are committed to learning. They're sacrificing a lot to be here, and they're very interested in what's happening in the classroom. They're also very cohesive as a group: they really get to know each other, and they often talk about the material outside of class.

On being quantitative
The curriculum is carefully constructed with a strong quantitative basis. It creates a strong foundation, and it provides students key tools for analyzing business situations. Our students know how to use analytical tools, which means that they share a foundation and common framework for thinking about difficult problems.

On innovation
I recently developed an Internet-based exercise with the Learning Lab to use in my Negotiations class. With the facilities and IT support we have, the exercise went beautifully. You just can't teach like that in other places.

On Wharton
Wharton is great because of its people. Our faculty is large, so we have more interesting people in more areas, and our students are the best in the world. It's a hub of activity.

On unparalleled resources
We draw new people to the school all the time because we have the resources to support them. We have the behavioral lab for conducting experiments, we have IT support for efforts to make us more effective in research and teaching, and we have the Learning Lab for developing new instructional software. We're also well supported by the administrative staff. On top of that, Huntsman Hall has plenty of classroom space.
