grated approach to solving management problems and an
emphasis on the interactive nature of business decisions.
A defning strength of the Accounting concentration is
the integration of fnance and economics into account-
ing research and teaching. Our faculty members serve on
boards of major corporations, fnancial institutions, law
frms and government agencies, such as the Securities and
Exchange Commission. They are also involved in advising
and interacting with both the international business com-

From the day I walked in the door, the School
administration, faculty and staff made it clear that I
would be given the support, guidance and direction
I needed to succeed. The program is very demanding,
but Simon has built a supportive environment
that puts success within everyones reach. I was
particularly amazed by how responsive my professors
were to student input. One professor distributed
bimonthly feedback forms, and asked what lecture
topics did not make sense, and what he could do
to enhance our learning experience. By taking our
responses seriously, he formed a partnership with
students and everyone benefted. Simons also in a
great location. The cost of living in Rochester is very
reasonable, and there are always festivals and music/
theater performances going on.

T
his concentration appeals to students seeking to have
real impact on organizations by applying their skills and
creativity in extremely challenging and diverse environ-
ments. The Simon School concentration in Business Systems
Consulting offers a cutting edge, highly focused program designed
to equip students with the skills and experience necessary to ex-
cel in the business systems consulting industry. While students
will be exposed to a variety of career possibilities during the
course of their studies, most students are likely to assume a posi-
tion in the business systems practice of one of the major consult-
ing frms.
Core Course:
CIS/OMG 416. Strategy and Business Systems
Consulting Practicum
The course focuses on three areas:
The Consulting Industry
Students will examine several types of consulting (e.g.,
strategic, operations, systems, human resource and marketing)
and understand where the major consulting frms position
themselves. The career paths for M.B.A.s entering the
industry, and the skills and values necessary for success as a
consultant will be scrutinized using in-depth case studies.
The Business Systems Consulting Process
The creation of proposals, the winning of consulting
engagements and the preparation of contracts will be discussed.
The typical stages of a business systems consulting engagement
(e.g., problem framing, analysis design, gathering data,
interpreting results, architectural solution, and presentation of
recommendations) and managing different sorts of consulting
projects (e.g., operational improvement, supply-chain
optimization, quality improvement, strategy formulation and
organization design) will be examined.
Consulting Skills
The role of the consultant and the human dimension will be
discussed (e.g., personal attributes of consultants, relationship
building and team building). Diagnostic tools and data gathering
techniques (e.g., questionnaires and interviews) will be
presented. Frameworks for problem solving and communicating
recommendations will also be introduced. The course examines
a wide range of modern global business challenges and
opportunities from both the consultants and the managers
perspectives and provides a learning platform to integrate and
practice the skills and knowledge learned.
The project component of the Course
In addition, a major project helps students to improve their
consulting skills through performing an actual engagement. The
project requires student teams to develop a client engagement
and perform consulting services for that client.
Students Remarks About the Course
. . . Working on a project gives me an opportunity to
apply not just consulting skills but all the things I
learned at Simon . . .
. . . I learned a lot about team dynamics, working
with clients and how to present . . .
. . . The project also opened my eyes to the
importance of group work in consulting . . .
. . . . . . I learned valuable analysis tools that are
essential for successful consulting . . .
. . . I have improved in all aspects of my working
style through the course of this project . . .
Abraham Seidmann, Ph.D.
Xerox Professor of Computers and
Information Systems, Electronic
Commerce, and Operations
Management
The purpose of consulting work is to positively and

permanently improve the performance of a clients frm.
Consultants, therefore, have an impact! Consultants
work with, and learn from, far more senior executives
than they might at a typical corporation during the same
number of years. Consultants develop professionally as
they tackle numerous business problems and have the
opportunity to apply many of the sophisticated tools
acquired during their M.B.A. studies and beyond.
Consulting can be a highly lucrative career path
including opportunities to attain high-level positions
with former clients.

Founder, Chairman and C.E.O.
PAETEC Holding Co.
Of all the start-up telecommunications companies

formed after 1997, PAETEC is one of the few survivors.
The fact that we are healthy and growing and have
over 3,500 employees today has everything to do with
the 71 original employees we hired to launch the
company. The Simon School is also part of the story,
because thats where I learned a lot about motivating
people. The eight of us who started PAETEC targeted
the top 75 people we wanted to hiremanagers,
technicians, accountants, people at all levels. We had
a small offce and white board listing their names in
red. We went through the interview process for 60 to 90
days, and used a lot of the things that I had learned at
Simon about getting people interested in starting a new
venture. Instead of saying, This is what we want you
to do, we would ask questions like: What would you
include in the business plan? and How should wealth
be shared? We learned a lot from these interviews,
and when someone signed our offer letter, we changed
his or her name on the board to green. We thought we
would end up getting maybe 1215 of the targeted
75 employees, but in the end, we got 71. As one of my
Simon professors put it, Its all about how you set up
the rules of the game.

Computers and Information Systems and
Electronic Commerce Concentrations
The Computers and Information Systems (CIS) area enjoys
international recognition for its innovative research and teaching.
The CIS and E-Commerce concentrations prepare students to manage
the broad array of information systems issues that arise in every
organization or to act as successful management consultants. The
concentrations focus on the leading approaches used in the design and
development of effective business processes that leverage information
technology. They also emphasize the major business issues that
arise in choosing information technologies, designing information
processes for improving the effectiveness of specifc applications and
using enterprise information technology for gaining competitive
benefts.
The placement of Simon CIS students in retail or investment banks,
Fortune 500 manufacturers and international consulting companies
has been very strong. Typical CIS careers include electronic
commerce leadership, the management of corporate information
systems, business process re-engineering and general management
consulting. In the required courses, students learn how to analyze the
fundamental subjects of business information and decision processes
in organizations, and the resulting economic and technological trade-
offs. In the advanced electives, students can study various aspects of
electronic commerce, business process design, advanced information
technologies, fnancial information systems and business data
communications systems.
The fact that as a frst-year Simon student you

cannot pick your team members for the core classes
is an effective tool to mirror situations that we will
all face in our careers. As a summer intern at
Goldman Sachs after my frst year at Simon, 50
percent of my summer project was based on the
output of a team of fellow M.B.A. interns. Having
the amount of exposure I had at Simon working in
a team-based environment made the transition to
working with my summer team a very smooth one.
Since I had also acquired a solid quantitative and
economics-based means to approach problem
solving, I was able to adapt quickly in the fast-
paced environment of Wall Street.

Simon Entrepreneurs Club
Simon Entrepreneurs (S.E.) is a student-run, faculty, industry
and community-advised club, at the Simon School. It provides the
possibility of instilling entrepreneurship as a way of being in all
endeavors and integrating students, faculty, alumni and external
resources to create a platform for launching successful ventures.
Implicit in this declaration is the realization that entrepreneur-
ship is a way of managing ones life and resources to undertake
new ventures. It can be applied not only to emerging tech-
nologies, but also to family and small businesses, initiatives and
restructuring in large corporations, social impact and personal
projects. The goal of S.E. is to create an environment that
fosters such thinking in all disciplines by creating a portfolio
of academic, professional and social activities that integrate
entrepreneurial interests and resources from throughout the
Rochester community.
In doing so, S.E. believes it will help create leaders with
the skills to thrive in a challenging business environment.
Additionally, S.E. activities will accelerate the rate of Rochester
companies started per year, spurring economic growth in the
region. These outcomes will prove to be self-perpetuating as they
will yield knowledge that is fed back into the curriculum and
attract more highly qualifed students to Simon.

I believe there is some confusion about the role of research in

a business school. Some argue that teaching and research
are substitutes, that a faculty that devotes time to research
has fewer resources to devote to teaching, that students
are disadvantaged by a program with a strong research
agenda. Given my experience over the past 25 years at
the University of Rochester, I must disagree. During my
career, teaching and research have always been strong
complements. For instance, a decade ago, the entire topic
of corporate hedging policy was absent from fnance texts.
Schools that are active contributors to fnance research
have developed great skills in bringing this leading-edge
knowledge to the classroom. Academic research expands
the scope of knowledge and creates the core competence of
business schools within management education.

As a career changer, I knew that choosing the right
business school would be key to achieving my career goals.
Simon proved to be the perfect ft. My classroom experience
was outstanding, and the administration and career
management teams helped me leverage my skills, network
and learn about the fnance industry. Working on the
Simon Meliora Fund and competing in case competitions
against students from other leading business schools
gave me the practical experience to excel at my summer
internship and land the job of my dreams.

The Simon Meliora Fund is housed under the
F.M.A. and is a portfolio of money that was created
in the mid-1980s through donations from a group of
students and other parties with the objective to provide
a learning tool by which students were exposed to a

provide career guidance and academic assistance
to students in casual one-on-one settings. The small
size of the Simon community also means that there
are numerous opportunities to grow and develop
outside the classroom by taking challenging leadership
positions.
