Subject: Selection of the Dean of the Business School
Good Morning,
It is with great pleasure that Lee Bollinger and I report to you that Robert Dolan has accepted our offer to become the next Dean of the School of Business Administration. His appointment will be effective July 1, 2001, pending Regental approval. He will also be appointed Professor of Marketing, with tenure, and the Gilbert and Ruth Whitaker Professor of Business Administration.
Dr. Dolan, currently the Edward W. Carter Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School, received his Ph.D. from the University of Rochester in 1977. He began his professional career at the University of Chicago's Graduate School of Business in 1976 where he was promoted to Associate Professor in 1980. He later joined the marketing area at the Harvard Business School and served as its chair from 1986-1994. He was recently appointed Senior Associate Dean and Director of the Division of Research to be effective July 1, 2001. His professional service includes terms on the review boards of the Journal of Marketing (1978-1984, 1990-1998) and Marketing Science (1982-1994), where he served as an Area Editor from 1989-1994. He is currently completing a six-month appointment as a Visiting Professor at IESE in Barcelona, Spain.
Dolan's research interests include new product development, product policy, and pricing policy. He has published numerous articles on these topics in leading academic journals, including the Bell Journal of Economics, the Journal of Marketing, the Journal of Business, Marketing Science, and the Harvard Business Review. He has received international recognition for his contributions to scholarship in the areas of non-linear and dynamic pricing. He has also authored or co-authored several influential and widely-used textbooks including Managing the New Product Development Process, Strategic Marketing Management, and Power Pricing: How Managing Price Transforms the Bottom Line. His current research interests include the societal impact of marketing. In particular, he has conducted extensive research on the marketing practices of tobacco companies and their impact on consumers. He is a member of the Harvard University Tobacco Control Group. He continues his research in the pricing area with a focus on the high technology and electronic commerce arenas.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to Joel Slemrod who chaired the Search Advisory Committee, and the members of his committee for their outstanding service. The President and I are delighted that Bob has accepted the deanship, and are confident that his high standards will help to build the research culture and continue the exciting intellectual and educational activities underway in the School.
For those of you who might wish to congratulate Bob and extend a welcome to him, his wife Kathleen, and their children, Nick and Hilary, his email address in Spain is Rdolan@iese.edu. If you need any additional information, please let me know.
