Specialty B-SchoolsWisconsin is one of the business schools featured in this Business Week article on mid-tier schools that are attempting to compete with the top schools by offering specialty MBA tracks. Dean Mike Knetter's pitch: "We want to be the school of choice for students who have a clear vision from the outset."
