history

Originally founded in 1908 as Northwestern University's School of Commerce , Kellogg was one of the 16 founding members of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, the organization that establishes accreditation standards for business schools in the United States. Kellogg therefore later played an essential role in the introduction of the Graduate Management Admission Test . Faculty members have made significant contributions to areas such as marketing and decision theory. For example, Walter Dill Scott, one of the pioneers in applied psychology, helped establish some of the earliest courses in marketing in the first decade of the 20th century.

In 1919, Ralph E. Heilman, a Northwestern University graduate with a PhD from Harvard, was appointed dean. The following year, Kellogg introduced a graduate program that led to the Master of Business Administration degree and which attracted nearly 400 students in the first two years.

In 1951 Kellogg began offering its first advanced training courses. The success of the offer ultimately led to its transfer to Europe, where a similar program had been offered in Bürgenstock, Switzerland, since 1965. In 1976, Kellogg expanded Evanston’s continuing education programs with the introduction of the Executive Management Program (EMP, now known as the Executive MBA Program). The opening of the James L. Allen Center, at which the Kellogg training programs are based, was a decisive step in the direction of the future. Born from a vision of Dean Donald P. Jacobs (Dean from 1975 to 2001; faculty member in the Finance Department since 1957), the Allen Center was able to rely on the support of important managers from the Chicago area, in particular James L. Allen , a Kellogg alumnus and co-founder of consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton , include. After the foundation stone was laid in 1978, the Allen Center opened on October 31, 1979.

In 1956 the institution was renamed the School of Business, then in 1969 the Graduate School of Management. This should also reflect the increasing demand for managers who have received training focused on both analytical and behavioral skills. The training was also geared towards general management skills rather than narrow individual skills, as was still the case at many business schools in the 20th century. Ultimately, it was more about acquiring the basic skills that were required for taking on leadership roles in companies as well as in the public or non-profit sector than classic management skills. In order to do justice to this change in the direction of the training, the school replaced the MBA degree in 1969 with the MM (Master of Management). It was only after three decades that Kellogg recently returned to the MBA.

In 1979 the school was renamed the JL Kellogg Graduate School of Management following a $ 10 million donation from John L. Kellogg . The additional funding enabled the school to expand its research and teaching activities significantly. Three endowed professorships, two centers for interdisciplinary research, four research professorships and a large student “living-learning center” were established. Even before that, the school had significantly expanded the research focus of its teaching staff, for example by establishing six additional professorships and two special research professorships in 1978. In 2001 the name of the school was shortened to Kellogg School of Management in order to better market the school as a brand.

In June 2009, Kellogg announced that Dipak C. Jain would step down as dean after eight years and return to teaching. On September 1, 2009, Sunil Chopra, the former Senior Associate Dean of Curriculum and Teaching and IBM Distinguished Professor of Operations Management, took over the role as interim dean while the dean selection committee began looking for Jain's successor. Later that year, Northwestern University announced plans to build a new building for the Kellogg School in the northeast area of ​​its Evanston campus. The new building will be on Lake Michigan and will contain classrooms, faculty offices, learning landscapes, and staff offices. Completion of the building is planned for the end of 2016.
