New Haven, Conn., May 15, 2008 – Yale School of Management Dean Joel M. Podolny marked the conclusion of a highly successful faculty recruiting season, today announcing the addition of ten new members to the school’s faculty ranks. In senior appointments, Gary Gorton, currently professor of banking and finance at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, will join the Yale SOM faculty as professor of finance; and Stephen Redding, currently a reader in economics at the London School of Economics, will join the faculty as professor of economics. Dean Podolny also announced the appointments of Constance Bagley, formerly of the Harvard Business School, as a professor in the practice of law and management, as well as seven tenure-track faculty, three of whom are women, in operations management, organizational behavior, marketing, and economics. These appointments are effective July 1, 2008.
Commenting on the appointments, Podolny said, “Gary Gorton and Stephen Redding are outstanding scholars for whom I have the highest admiration. Their expertise will add to the school’s considerable faculty strength in finance and economics. Their appointments reflect our commitment to recruiting and retaining scholars and teachers who are not only preeminent in their fields, but who also value the collaborative and interdisciplinary culture that is the foundation of our innovative curriculum, joint teaching and research, and the broader community at Yale SOM. Gary and Stephen exemplify the qualities that are vital to our mission of educating leaders for business and society and share our vision for transforming management education. Additionally, our success in drawing Connie Bagley, who was my colleague at Harvard and Stanford, and so many outstanding junior faculty to our school is further indication of the growing reputation and positive momentum that the Yale MBA program is experiencing within the management education community. I am simply delighted that all of them are coming to Yale, and I believe they will all make significant additions to what is already an outstanding, innovative, collaborative, and committed group of scholars and teachers.”
Gary Gorton joined the Wharton School faculty in 1984; he is currently the Robert Morris Professor of Banking and Finance and holds a secondary appointment as professor of economics in the University of Pennsylvania College of Arts and Sciences. He is a Sloan Fellow of the Wharton Financial Institutions Center and has been a research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research since 1990. Over an academic career that has spanned more than two decades, Gorton’s research has focused on banking, corporate finance, asset pricing, and commodity futures. His work has been honored with the Western Finance Association Best Corporate Finance Paper Prize, the Journal of Corporate Finance Distinguished Paper Prize, and the Hicks Tinbergen Medal from the European Economics Association, among other awards. His influential commodity futures research includes the seminal paper “Facts and Fantasies about Commodity Futures” with Yale SOM Professor Geert Rouwenhorst, which concluded that commodities have similar returns and volatility as stocks, and are therefore less risky than previously believed. His work has been widely cited in the popular press including the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and BusinessWeek.
Gorton was the first non-English winner of the Houblon-Norman Fellowship of the Bank of England. Prior to Wharton, he was senior economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.
Stephen Redding is currently a reader in economics at the London School of Economics and director of the Globalization Program at the LSE Center for Economic Performance. His research interests include productivity growth at the firm and industry level, international trade, and economic geography. His recent work has examined the relationship between comparative advantage and heterogeneous firms’ response to international trade; the role of product choice in understanding firm development and industry dynamics; the uneven effects of Indian liberalization; the role of ‘absorptive capacity’ in facilitating the international transfer of technology; and the role played by market access in determining economic prosperity. Redding’s distinctions include the Kiel Excellence Award in Global Economic Affairs in 2008 and the Philip Leverhulme Prize Fellowship during 2001-2004 for his research on international trade and economic growth.
Redding was a visiting associate professor in the department of economics at Harvard University in 2007-2008. Prior to joining the London School of Economics, he worked as a research economist in the Monetary Analysis Division at the Bank of England on the relationship between international openness and economic growth.
In addition, Constance E. Bagley, who spent the 2007-2008 academic year at Yale SOM as a visiting associate professor of business administration, has been appointed a professor in the practice of law and management. She joins from the Harvard Business School where she served as associate professor of business administration and taught the MBA elective course Legal Aspects of Management. Her research focuses on the intersection of law and management and the ability of legally astute managers and entrepreneurs to use the law and legal tools to create value, marshal resources, and manage risk. Her textbook Managers and the Legal Environment: Strategies for the 21st Century (with D. Savage), West Legal Studies in Business, 5th ed. 2006, is used at more than 100 colleges and universities. Before joining the Harvard faculty in 2000, Professor Bagley taught MBA and executive courses on the legal environment of business; legal aspects of entrepreneurship; and corporate governance, power, and responsibility at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Prior to her work at Stanford, Professor Bagley was a corporate securities partner in the San Francisco office of the law firm of Bingham McCutchen. She is a member of the State Bar of California (inactive) and the State Bar of New York, and advises firms, directors, and executives on corporate governance matters, business ethics, and strategic compliance management.
The appointments build on the success of last year’s faculty recruiting which brought Professor Andrew Metrick to Yale SOM’s senior finance faculty from the Wharton School and added four assistant professors in organizational behavior, accounting, economics, and marketing. Deputy Dean Stanley J. Garstka said that this year’s addition of seven new tenure-track faculty will further build capacity in these disciplines as well as in the school’s operations management department. “We’ve hired talented junior faculty across a variety of disciplines,” said Garstka. “We’re especially pleased to be building our operations management group with the addition of three outstanding young scholars. This is our first significant expansion of this small but highly respected department.”
The seven tenure-track faculty joining the Yale School of Management are:
Shane Frederick, associate professor of marketing, joins Yale SOM from the Sloan School of Management at MIT where he is currently associate professor of management science.

本来我想转发的,没想到被izone抢先一步。^_^
一下子挖了十个教授,Joel M. Podolny 真彪悍。
真强悍。。。没想到yale挖人也这么强,相信yale的商学院凭着他雄厚的资金汇逐渐变得越来越强的
老牌就是老牌
想做啥振臂一呼就来一筐牛人。。。
SOM现在的endowment是5.75亿美金,每年招180人。Wharton的endowment是6.91亿,但他们规模是这里的4倍多。其实学校花钱的地方还是很多的,比如2011年将要建成的全新的商学院大楼,就要耗资大概1.5-2亿美金。学校这两年挖老师,也要花不少钱的。比如这里06年把HBS一个资深case writer挖过来,做这里新成立的case research team的director,自己开始写case,这些都是要花钱的。所以SOM给学生的奖学金比较少。我觉得并不是学校没钱,而是学校把钱用到别的地方去了。
我和一个老教授聊天,他说Yale的校长Richard Levin对SOM极力支持,他多次和YALE的校友说,你们一定要支持SOM的发展,所以不少YALE校友都愿意捐钱。校长对学院的支持是非常重要的。在雄厚财力的保证下,任何事情都是有可能做好的。就好比yale校长现在提出要花14年时间,把工学院建成第一流的,只要学校愿意花钱和别的资源,我相信肯定会有大飞跃。
另挖,今年1月我们院长挖了一个他的大学同学过来,做这里的associate dean,负责搞钱。此人背景非常强。
I am delighted to be able to announce that Joel Getz will be joining the Yale School of Management on Tuesday, February 12, 2008 as Associate Dean for Development and Alumni Relations. Joel comes to SOM from the William J. Clinton Foundation in New York, where he served as Director of Development for former President Bill Clinton’s worldwide charitable, educational, and economic development initiatives. Joel was instrumental in creating a formal development operation for the Clinton Foundation, which raises in excess of $135 million annually.
Prior to his work with the Clinton Foundation, Joel was President of the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City, working with Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, deputy mayors, and NYC agency commissioners, as well as a 50-member board of top CEOs, financiers, philanthropists and community leaders, to plan, prioritize and implement fundraising initiatives to support civic improvements in the City of New York. After stepping down as President of the Fund, Joel was asked by Mayor Bloomberg to continue as a member of the organization’s board.
Joel’s additional previous work experience includes university fundraising at Stanford University, where he was associate director of The Stanford Fund and then a major gifts officer, both for the university and for the Graduate School of Business, where he covered the Silicon Valley Region. His record of success was such that he was identified as one of the “most gifted” fundraising professionals on the Stanford development staff. He also has an entrepreneurial bent: from 1990 to 1997 he was the President and Co-Founder of Rim Pacific, a manufacturing and distribution firm focusing on art reproductions.
