エコノミスト：Top 10 Business School Alumni Networks

The Economist has listed the world's top-10 alumni networks. Nine of the top 10 strongest alumni networks are affiliated with U.S. schools. 

The best schools also tend to be old and big, this means keeping up to date on an awful lot of people. Harvard Business School, for example, has 44,500 registered MBA alumni.

The Tuck school at Dartmouth comes out top with its famously fierce collegiate spirit.

タック・スクール・オブ・ビジネス Dartmouth Tuck: New Dean Aims to Shake Up MBA Program

The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth has a new dean for the first time in 20 years.  Matthew Slaughter, Tuck’s associate dean for faculty, will take on the elite school’s top job on July 1.

Slaughter, 45, wants to shake up the traditional MBA model, because students want flexible alternatives to two-year, full-time programs. He wants to:

1. Build a digital platform for Tuck courses similar to those University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School offerings on Coursera or Harvard Business School’s HBX digital platform, which offers online access to course materials.

2. Expand Tuck’s non-MBA offerings—which currently comprise an executive master of business administration program, a non-degree “bridge” program for incoming M.B.A. students, a Master of Health Care Delivery Science offered jointly with the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice, and select undergraduate courses at Dartmouth and Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine—and may add shorter masters programs geared toward younger graduate students.

3. Attract more women. Women make up just under a third of Tuck’s current enrollment. Tuck has a new partnership program with the all-women’s Smith College in Northampton, Mass., set to debut this spring. He also wants to talke more to Tuck Initiative for Women about leveraging the Tuck alumni network to advance their careers.
