“Every once in a while you read a book from an author that seems to have come back from the future. M. Moshe Porat’s book takes an optimistic view of a transformed business reality if you are willing to learn the lessons of those disruptions. In an easy to read style, you will leave the last page more prepared for whatever comes in your future than before you started.”

“As a distinguished dean of a well-respected business school for the past two decades, M. Moshe Porat has been a part of the evolution of business and higher education, and has learned what it takes to endure advancements in these fields. He has fostered and developed a set of leadership principles that recognize change, promote entrepreneurship and encourage collaboration. These are all crucial elements for not only surviving, but prospering in the present state of business.”
 

“We are routinely reminded in life that the only constant is change. Our ability to adapt and transform ourselves as a necessity for survival and success is instilled in our zeal for excellence in education, research and the application of state of the art learned principles brought to us through higher education and those that inspire us. Such leadership principles are eloquently illustrated in M. Moshe Porat’s seminal book: Transforming a Business School. I personally experienced the brilliance of a transformational business educational experience at the Fox School of Business and Dr. Porat’s book not only inspires you to achieve at your highest potential but outlines what is necessary to lead the next evolution in business innovation.”

“In Transforming a Business School, Temple University dean M. Moshe Porat does what no football coach would ever do: give you the detailed playbook he and his relentlessly entrepreneurial team used to take Temple’s struggling business school —zero national ranking, no online presence, no placement office—and turn it into a global powerhouse with more than 9,000 students, superior rankings, and better job placement rates than many of the so-called elite schools. Porat is a master of the turnaround in that most change-resistant of environments: academia. You will learn from and be inspired by this indispensable guidebook to transformation and success.”

“Dr. M. Moshe Porat has successfully transformed and enlarged the Fox School of Business in the most modern way. The Fox students are well-trained in all of the latest technology business tools and skills and can instantly perform productively for employers.”

“In an environment where even the norms of higher education are being disrupted, M. Moshe Porat’s Transforming a Business School brings a clear, practical approach to the increasingly competitive world of business education. With a focus on creating value for the student customer, Porat outlines an entrepreneurial approach that has resulted in a better, nimbler MBA program, a high degree of accountability for results, and ultimately, students who are well prepared for the challenges of the real world. Transforming a Business School is a must read for leaders in academia seeking to stay ahead of the curve.”
