DR. CHARLES A. ROVETTA Dean, School of Business business The present need for professional education for business administration is clearly defined. Modern busi- ness operations and management demand an increasingly high order of technical knowledge and administrative skill. It is now widely recognized that in business, as in law, engineering, or medicine, formal professional edu- cation is of vital importance in preparing for a career. Education for business offers significant advan- tages. It conserves time by shortening the period of apprenticeship for higher executive responsibility. It pro- vides a breadth of knowledge and perspective of complex business problems which are difficult to acquire through experience alone. More important, it supplements ex- perience and greatly enhances its worth by supplying the valuable insight of theory and basic principles. The management of the forthcoming decade must be more analytical than at present. In addition, a new responsibility must be incorporated and emphasized — that of creative thinking and planning. In the highly competitive executive area of tomor- row, creative imagination may well become the factor determining career advancement. Education designed to advance methods of analysis, formation of value judg- ments, and creative imagination are incorporated within the curriculum of the School of Business.
