Table of Contents: 2 Curriculum 6 Careers 8 Faculty 10 Community 14 Location 18 Alumni 20 Apply As the second-oldest business school in the United States, the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley is one of the world’s leading producers of new ideas and knowledge in all areas of business. The school offers outstanding management education to about 2,200 undergraduate and graduate students each year. 2   Haas School of Business    Leading Through Innovation The Path to Innovative Leadership built on timely and relevant capabilities The goal of the Berkeley MBA Program is to develop you as an innovative leader and teach you fundamental business concepts. We define innovative leadership as the ability to put new ideas into action in every corner and every function of an organization, and to do so responsibly. This concept is based on a set of specific capabilities that are valued in today’s marketplace by employers. You gain the knowledge to become a leader who defines what’s next—for our markets and for our societies. Berkeley-Haas is uniquely positioned to deliver such leaders. A General Management Foundation Your Haas education is anchored in the fundamentals of general management, including the latest theories of and best practices in business—from accounting and finance to marketing and strategy. You learn to lead and manage an enterprise as a whole. The rigorous curriculum provides you with a basic framework of qualitative, quantitative, analytical, strategic, and problem solving skills. You not only gain knowledge about best business practices, but also learn about the fundamental principles behind them—the “how” and the “why.” A Connected Leadership Curriculum Innovative leadership is a connecting theme that runs through the entire Berkeley MBA Program—in both the required (core) and elective portions of the curriculum. The process starts with the careful selection of Berkeley MBA students, who have demonstrated leadership and exemplify the school’s defining principles. In the core, you begin to learn the capabilities of the innovative leader, such as the skills to define opportunities. For example, the Problem Finding, Problem Solving course teaches you several modes of thinking—such as framing problems—in order to find and solve difficult problems. The courses Leading People and Leadership Communications teach specific motivational skills, such as influencing others without having direct authority over them. A required experiential learning course gives you practice in solving real-world business problems and emphasizes innovative leader capabilities. The list of experiential options ranges from applied innovation projects with major firms to global consulting opportunities. A Supportive Culture and Environment A unique aspect of the Berkeley MBA leadership approach is the conscious use of the Haas School culture to shape how and what you learn. The school recently codified its culture into four defining principles: Question the Status Quo, Confidence Without Attitude, Students Always, and Beyond Yourself. The defining principles are heavily influenced by the school’s location in the San Francisco Bay Area—the world’s epicenter for innovation and entrepreneurship. And they are shaped by the culture of UC Berkeley, a world-class research generator with a legendary atmosphere of fresh thinking. “Problem Finding, Problem Solving aims to  provide some basic tools for innovative  thinking, enhancing students’ ability to  identify assumptions, learn through direct  observation, synthesize meaningful insights  from complex data, generate a wide range   of ideas, and tell inspiring stories to engage   others and get feedback.”  Sara L. Beckman Sr. Lecturer and Winner, University of California Distinguished Teaching Award, 2001 Learning by Doing Students can choose from among the  following core experiential learning options,  many of them unique to the Berkeley MBA  Program and first of their kind.  Haas@Work Teams of Berkeley MBA students work with top executives at major firms such as Virgin America (pictured here) to research and develop solutions for real-world business challenges. The best ideas are then selected by each firm’s executives for implementation. International Business  Development In the first global program of its kind, student teams tackle business projects across the globe, ranging from creating business plans for nonprofit or government programs to providing market research or financial analysis for bur- geoning corporations. After working on each project throughout the spring semester, the student teams then travel for three weeks for hands-on experi- ence with their client orga- nizations. Social Sector Solutions Students partner with McKinsey & Co. to engage in innovative consulting projects, providing plans, creative ideas, and solutions for challenges unique to nonprofit organizations. Clean Tech to Market Students work with scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to evaluate the commercial viability of next-generation technologies aimed at addressing critical energy and climate change issues.

Entrepreneurship Students select from a variety of opportunities that challenge them to come up with real business solutions and business plans for high- potential enterprises.

For example, you will learn how to set direction in your strategy course, and how to manage complex projects and enterprises in your operations course. Throughout the core, you are taught the lessons of leading responsibly. Core courses, which make up about 40 percent of a typical student’s course of study, are usually all taken in the first year. Electives A central feature of the Berkeley MBA program is its level of flexibility that enables you to customize your studies according to your own goals. An impressive menu of original elective courses comprises 60 percent of the curriculum, meaning you begin to design your own course of study in the first year of the program. You may choose from a wide variety of constantly evolving electives and dual degree offerings—from within the Haas School and from the wider university—as well as design courses of your own in conjunction with a faculty member. Global Perspective Global experience is an integral aspect of the Berkeley MBA experience. Global business is part of many courses, including courses with a specific focus on international topics, such as Global Strategy and Multinational Enterprises, and Doing Business in China. You are encouraged to take advantage of international opportunities, such as spending a semester abroad, attending international seminars, planning study trips to other countries during breaks, or serving as a consultant through the International Business Development program. Learning Beyond the Classroom Providing students with hands-on exposure to real-world business situations is a key strength of the Berkeley MBA Program. You are required to take an experiential course that emphasizes innovative leadership. Additional experiential learning activities are required in many courses. You can also participate in numerous out-of- classroom opportunities that build upon your leadership skill set. Teamwork is emphasized throughout, including skill development and group coaching on how to be optimally effective in teams. Students in Sara Beckman’s Problem Finding, Problem Solving core course.

After fulfilling the requirements of the core curriculum, you will find a high degree of flexibility to tailor your education to meet your own goals and interests through a wide variety of cutting-edge elective offerings and global opportunities. The school’s acclaimed International Business Development (IBD) course, which is one of the options for fulfilling the experiential learning requirement, sends an average of 120 students around the world each year to consult for a variety of firms and organizations.

Real-World Insights  from Industry Practitioners The MBA program also makes creative use of experienced practitioners from industry in its classes as adjunct professors and lecturers. For example, Wall Street veteran Peter Goodson, former partner of private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc., teaches the Mergers and Acquisitions course. In his Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Telecommunications and Media course, Dr. Reza Moazzami draws from his more than fifteen years of experience as an engineer, entrepreneur/CEO, investor, patent holder, and educator in the IT and communications industries. Twitter Co-founder and serial entrepreneur Biz Stone shares his experiences and insights with Berkeley MBA students as an executive fellow at the Haas School. A Tradition of Teaching Excellence The cornerstone of the entire Berkeley MBA program is its distinguished faculty members and the high quality of their courses. At Haas, teaching excellence is a high priority. In the Berkeley MBA classroom, faculty members emphasize both theory and practice by using a variety of teaching methods. Case studies, seminars, simulations, guest speakers, and group projects all facilitate the learning process. Classroom learning is enhanced by numerous opportunities to apply the lessons to real-world situations. Berkeley-Haas Professor Carl Shapiro was appointed a member of the Council of Economic Advisers in 2011 by President Obama. Shapiro formerly served as deputy assistant attorney general for economics in the U.S. Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division. He joins a growing list of Haas School and UC Berkeley faculty members who have served on the council, including Haas Professor and former Dean Laura Tyson and Haas Professor Emerita Janet Yellen. Haas professors Jonathan Leonard, David Levine, and Jim Wilcox have served on the staff of the council as senior economists. Berkeley-Haas Professor Emeritus Oliver E. Williamson was awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences—the second time a Haas professor has won the honor since 1994—for his work in the area of economic governance. Laura Tyson S.

Berkeley-Haas students question the status quo, project confidence without attitude, think beyond themselves, and act as students always. These attributes combine to create an environment conducive to teamwork, collaboration, and involvement. Students are members of a close-knit, supportive peer network that draws on both shared experiences and a diversity of ideas and backgrounds to build bonds that last a lifetime. A Collaborative Culture cultivates a unique, dynamic community A Diversity of Experiences Among the school’s greatest assets is the community of fellow students, who form a lifetime network of friends and professional contacts. The relatively small size of the MBA program (only 240 students enroll in each entering class) encourages students to get to know all members of their class. Students represent a wide range of ethnic backgrounds, religious affiliations, and sexual orientations. About a third of the students are from outside the United States, representing almost 40 countries. Involvement in a Dynamic Community The diverse and outgoing nature of the Berkeley-Haas culture translates to a vibrant, thriving community of fellow students, alumni, faculty, and staff. From networking mixers to annual conferences, guest speakers to intramural sports competitions, there’s always something happening here. At Haas, virtually everyone gets involved in clubs and community service, managing major conferences, participating in international case competitions, and organizing ski trips to nearby Sierra Nevada resorts. Going Above and Beyond UC Berkeley has a long tradition of social responsibility and a commitment to creating a better world. In keeping with that spirit, Berkeley MBA students get involved to make a difference. Almost the entire MBA class participates during the year in one of the many fun events that are a part of the Challenge for Charity—talent shows, charity auctions, and sports competitions that help raise money for the Special Olympics and other organizations. Many Berkeley MBA students also volunteer as mentors for disadvantaged high school students through the Young Entrepreneurs at Haas (YEAH) program. Confidence Without Attitude “The interview process for consulting  internships is arduous, and the  competition is fierce. But even here, the  defining principle Confidence Without Attitude won out. We had informal Friday  prep sessions where we reviewed case  studies, shared resources and coached  each other. We helped every one of us be  as prepared as possible.” David Felts, MBA 13 Internship: Boston Consulting Group, San Francisco, California Previous degree: B.S., Finance, Grove City College, Brove City, Pennsylvania Job prior to Haas: Manager, Novant Health, Charlotte, North Carolina Students Always “Being Students Always means being  open to new information and being willing  to admit you don’t know everything.  Sometimes having a good question is  better than having a good answer.” Alison Brock, MBA 13 Internship: American Express, New York, New York Previous degree: B.A., Journalism, Howard University, Washington, D.C.

And it defines the people we attract, the education we deliver, and the leaders we produce. Once you arrive, you will quickly understand how the University of California, Berkeley—one of the world’s top universities—both shapes and is shaped by the forces of innovation in the Bay Area. This is a place that continues to move knowledge forward, looking for and embracing what comes next. The Bay Area is one of the few places on earth where countless corporate powerhouses such as Oracle (pictured above) are nestled among some of the world’s most famous landscapes and outdoor playgrounds. Only an hour from Berkeley, you can cruise through the alluring wine country of Napa and Sonoma counties. Or visit one of the many open beaches or picturesque seaside towns dotting the Pacific coastline, including Big Sur, Carmel-by-the-Sea, and Mendocino. Only three hours from campus, explore Yosemite National Park, with its exquisite glacier-carved valley of towering waterfalls and granite mountains, or ski the world-famous Olympic runs at Lake Tahoe. Home to Tomorrow’s Industries Widely recognized as the heart of the global technology industry, a hotbed for venture capital, and the center of the US wine market, the Bay Area is also the new hub for the up-and- coming clean energy and biotechnology industries.

In addition to attending one of the premier business schools in the world, Berkeley MBA students earn a degree from a university whose name and reputation open doors around the globe. The mission of the University of California is to excel in research, teaching, and public service. Over the decades, this mission has developed a culture at UC Berkeley that stimulates greatness. The Berkeley Experience a university second to none UC Berkeley’s University Library was ranked the No. 1 public research university library in North America by the Association of Research Libraries. A Distinguished Record The Berkeley MBA Program draws on the incredible breadth and depth of the University of California at Berkeley, whose graduate programs are consistently ranked among the best in the world, and whose undergraduate programs are among the most selective. The proof is in the university’s distinguished record of Nobel-level scholarship, constant innovation, a concern for the betterment of our world, and consistently high rankings of its schools and departments—the Haas School among them. A History of Path-Bending Innovation Since its founding in 1868, UC Berkeley has grown with the rapidly expanding population of California and has responded to the educational needs of the developing state. By the 1930s, research at UC Berkeley burgeoned in nuclear physics, chemistry, and biology, leading to the development of the first cyclotron, the isolation of the human polio virus, and the discovery of all the artificial elements heavier than uranium, including Berkelium and Californium. Twenty-one members of the UC Berkeley faculty have been awarded Nobel prizes for these and subsequent achievements in science, literature, and economics. In 2011, the Times of London ranked UC Berkeley the 4th best university in the world. The National Research Council in 2010 awarded UC Berkeley the largest number of high-ranked graduate programs in the US for the third decade in a row—of the 52 programs assessed, 48 were in the top 10 in their categories. Explore the Opportunities You are encouraged to supplement business courses with graduate classes outside the business school in areas ranging from engineering, law, and urban planning to foreign languages, international area studies, and public policy. In addition, special interdisciplinary opportunities within the Berkeley community enable you to learn from top experts in almost every field. Joint courses with students in law, engineering, information systems, and public health enhance the educational experience of many MBA students. Multi-disciplinary  Opportunities Berkeley MBA students involved in the Berkeley Energy and Resources Collaborative (BERC) work with scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to evaluate the commercial viability of new technologies, such as a novel solar-chemical storage device, and the use of ionic liquids to pre-treat biomass for conversion to biofuel. This Berkeley Innovative Leader Development experiential requirement option, called CleanTech to Market, is just one of the many opportunities Haas students have to work with top thinkers across diverse disciplines at UC Berkeley. •  Ranks first nationally in       the number of PhD       programs in the top 10 in       their fields (National       Research Council) •  Ranked the #1 public       university in the US for       the eleventh year in a row by      U.S. News & World Report •  The leading institution in       awarding doctoral degrees to     minorities and women •  Ranked #1 in the nation in     the 2009 Washington       Monthly College Rankings,     based on three main       criteria: performance as an     engine of social mobility,       research output, and       promotion of a service ethic •  22 Nobel Prize laureates       (including Haas professors     Oliver Williamson and     John Harsanyi) •  226 American Association     for the Advancement of       Science Fellows •  234 American Academy of     Arts and Sciences Fellows •  74 Fulbright Scholars •  359 Guggenheim Fellows •  45 MacArthur Fellows •  92 National Academy of       Engineering Awards •  141 National Academy of      Sciences Awards •  26 National Medal of       Science Awards •  117 Sloan Fellows •  4 Wolf Prizes •  4 Pulitzer Prizes •  1 National Poet Laureate UC Berkeley Academic and Faculty Distinctions   [...]...
