AT SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, AN ABRUPT GOODBYE 10.23.08
Joel Podolny, the dean of the Yale School of Management, announced Wednesday that he will leave Yale at the end of the calendar year to assume an executive position at Apple Inc. in California.
Podolny, who is widely credited with transforming SOM’s curriculum and building the school’s reputation, will assume his post as the first-ever vice president and dean of Apple University. His unexpected resignation comes as SOM continues to implement broad institutional changes, many of which were initiated by Podolny himself.
