The Chicago Approach

The Chicago Approach distinguishes the Booth from other top business educators.

This approach encompasses four key elements:

• Discipline-based knowledge is a powerful tool for understanding how organizations function and how markets work.
• Empirical evidence (real-world data) is important for building discipline-based knowledge.
• Good decisions are backed by good analysis.
• Effective business practices stem from fundamental principles, not fads.

The Chicago Approach to High-Impact Learning

Human Capital

The sum of the knowledge, attitudes, and competencies of people in an organization; Chicago Booth faculty member Gary S. Becker received the Nobel Prize for his work in this area

Social Capital

The value of managers’ relationships within and beyond a firm; pioneered by Chicago Booth faculty member

Ron S. Burt

Organizational Capital

The extent to which leadership generates commitment and mobilizes the creative energies of the workforce to achieve common goals; concept in development by Chicago Booth faculty member Linda Ginzel, academic director of custom programs”
