“Management Who’s Who.” Many business college students are no doubt aware that business colleges are named after historical figures. Joseph Wharton (University of Pennsylvania) and Alfred Sloan (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) may be well known, but who was Amos Tuck (Dartmouth) M.J. Neely (Texas Christian), Max M. Fisher (Ohio State), McDonough (Georgetown), or Cox (Southern Methodist)? Use the Internet to locate a recent ranking of business colleges. Pick ten schools that are not named for their Institution (as opposed to Columbia School of Business and Harvard Business School) Use the Internet to find out who the colleges are named for and those persons’ contribution to business, management, or business education.
