These days, most top business schools seek to attract the best students from around the world. The University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School just took the logical next step, plucking its new dean from a distant time zone.
Geoffrey Garrett, currently dean at the Australian School of Business at the University of New South Wales, will take the helm of Wharton on July 1, according to a press release today. Garrett’s experience at the Sidney school, at the doorstep of such rising Asian business hubs as Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong, seems to have made him an attractive candidate to replace Thomas Robertson, who’s seven-year term as Wharton dean ends in June.
Garrett, 56, has “a compelling vision for the role of business schools in an era of rapid change and globalization,” says Amy Gutman, president of the University of Pennsylvania, in a statement.
Australia’s relative isolation may also have given Garrett a head start in thinking about online education. “The direction we’re going is to put much more material online,” he told the Financial Times in an interview published in January, adding that online tools could improve the quality of management education. “Like other sectors, globalization and technological change are poised to transform business education,” Garrett says in a statement today.
