The Chicago Booth Approach to Business

Discover and implement groundbreaking theory and the latest data-driven research to become a transformative leader. 

Inquiry. Insight. Impact.

Three words that describe the power and outcomes of a distinctive way of learning, analyzing, and interacting.

The way we generate, refine, and apply ideas sets Chicago Booth apart from other business schools and distinguishes our students for the entirety of their professional lives. Our educational philosophy is rooted in the belief that transformational insights start with rigorous inquiry and a fundamentals-based understanding of how organizations function, how markets work, and how people make decisions.

• Rigorous Inquiry
  Our executive participants learn to question and evaluate problems and opportunities through foundational disciplines.
• Cogent Insight At Booth, empirical evidence (real-world data) and analysis are paramount. A diverse array of analytical and behavioral frameworks gives participants the ability to visualize compelling new business solutions.
• Enduring Impact We believe that effective, long-term business practices stem from fundamental principles, not fads or trends. Our executive participants have transformational experiences that turn them into more empowered, impactful leaders
