 The School is run by the Dean, the Associate Dean and the Track Conveners  and is guided by two independent boards: an International Board of Overseers (the “IBO”) comprising international leaders in business and education and a Middle East Advisory Board (the “MEAB”) composed of accomplished regional thought leaders and trend setters in business. The IBO and MEAB advise the Dean and help OSB stay tuned to key business developments at the regional and international levels.

The School is organized into the functional equivalent of multi-disciplinary clusters, referred to as “Tracks.” While each track has its distinct identity and designated faculty members, a Track is markedly different from a department; it allows for multiple faculty membership, offers fertile soil for cross-disciplinary synergy, and facilitates faculty cooperation.

The School has three Tracks, each encompassing a number of distinct academic business disciplines (or “concentrations”) and headed by a Track Convener (a highly-qualified OSB faculty member).

The Tracks (with their respective concentrations) are:

  1. Finance, Accounting and Managerial Economics (FAME)

    •  Concentrations (2): Finance and Accounting


  2. Management, Marketing and Entrepreneurship (MM&E)

    •  Concentrations (2): Management and Marketing


  3. Business Information and Decision Systems (BIDS)

    • Concentration (1): Information and Decision Systems

Track Conveners report directly to the Dean of the School. The School is managed by the Dean, the Associate Dean, the Assistant Dean for Student Services, the Track Conveners, the Officers of the School, and ten standing committees, and operates under a set of School bylaws
