The Tepper School of Business is a major player in the international world of business. From its inception in 1948 as The Graduate School of Industrial Administration, The Tepper School has approached business as a science, combining research and education in ways both unheard of and quickly adopted by more traditional business schools. With Richard M. Cyert, George Leland Bach, Herbert A. Simon, and Allen Newell among its past faculty, The Tepper School of Business has been responsible for such innovations as analytical decision making techniques, Game Theory, and The Management Game. Consistently in the top three in The Wall Street Journal's international ranking of Business Schools, The Tepper School of Business continues to make history worldwide.
