Columbia Business School

Columbia Business School is Columbia University’s business school in New York City. Founded in 1916, it offers MBA, master’s, doctoral, and executive education programs alongside faculty research in management and business.

The school describes its mission as developing leaders who create value for stakeholders and society, and producing knowledge that advances the understanding and practice of management. Its teaching and research span areas including entrepreneurship, finance, digital transformation, and the relationship between business and society. Research centers and programs provide settings for faculty work and exchange with practitioners.

For OutcomesLab readers, the school is a source of management research and ideas to examine, not an endorsement of any particular approach. A research paper’s model or findings should be assessed on its own terms rather than treated as proof that a proposed practice will work in every organization.
