ABOUT THIS BOOK
In Wide Awake in the Windy City, Matt Golosinski traces the century-long ascent of the Kellogg School of Management, detailing its influence on marketing and its evolution as a globally renowned general management force. The story contextualizes the school's strategic decisions and brings to life some of its most important catalysts — deans, professors, students, and business practitioners.
The school historically turned disadvantage to opportunity, finding innovative ways to remain in the vanguard of management education. At every turn, this journey involved the vision of extraordinary people who, against the odds, created an enduring example of educational excellence.
AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY
Matt Golosinski is the editorial director of the Kellogg School, managing a variety of communications initiatives, such as Kellogg World, the school's 50,000-circulation alumni journal.
Richard P. Honack is the assistant dean and chief marketing officer of the Kellogg School, where he is also an adjunct associate professor.
REVIEWS
"The Kellogg School is a one-of-a-kind resource. Business is about working together to find solutions and make things happen. I think Kellogg has that pragmatic, execution-based view to a degree that is unusual among the world's elite business schools. In my experience, I find that Kellogg has a unique ability to produce graduates who know how to collaborate to produce results." —Miles D. White, Chairman and CEO, Abbott— -
"Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management has long been one of the world's greatest centers for the analytical study of competitive organizations. This book is at its best when it tells the story of how Northwestern cultivated greatness in research and applied it to build excellence in management education." —Roger Myerson, Winner of the 2007 Nobel Prize in Economics; Harold L. Stuart Professor of Decision Sciences, Kellogg School, 1976-2001— -
