OUR MISSION

The Rotman School is redesigning business education for the 21st century with a curriculum built on Integrative Thinking^TM.

The current model of business education -- which divides business into a number of functional areas -- has changed little since its introduction in the early 20th century. Although this model provided global leadership for nearly a century, its inherent flaws are becoming increasingly problematic as the modern economy takes shape. One of the weaknesses of the traditional approach is that business problems rarely lie within the boundaries of functional areas, and cannot be resolved using the narrow models developed within those boundaries.

Today's business problems sprawl messily across the functions -- and across models -- creating a need for managers who can constructively face the tensions of opposing models, and instead of choosing one at the expense of the other, generate a creative resolution in the form of new model that contains elements of both, but is superior to each. In short, modern leadership requires Integrative Thinking.

Our curriculum is constantly evolving, with the introduction of new courses, content, and approaches. The Rotman School is developing a new way to think, and we invite you to be a part of it.
