MIT Sloan

MIT Sloan is a different kind of management school. We’re not iterating on a better widget or cashing in on the latest business fad. We’re not talking about management in the abstract. As part of the world’s leading research institution, we’re bringing together today’s brightest minds to tackle global challenges. For real.
