Many MBA applicants feel that they are purchasing a brand when they choose a business school to attend, but the educational experience is what is crucial to your future, and no one will affect your education more than your professors. Each Wednesday, we profile a standout professor as identified by students. Today, we focus on Cameron Anderson?from the Haas School of Business at the University of California (UC) Berkeley.
Cameron Anderson (?Power and Politics in Organizations? and ?Negotiations and Conflict Resolution?), who received his PhD from UC Berkeley in 2001, came to Haas from New York University?s Stern School of Business in 2005. His teaching awards include Professor of the Year (at Stern) in 2005 and the Earl F. Cheit Award for Excellence in Teaching at Haas in 2008. His ?Power and Politics in Organizations? course was described to mbaMission by a second year we interviewed as ?easily one of the most sought-after classes at Haas.? According to the course abstract, Anderson shows students in this course how to ?diagnose organizational politics in order to form and implement new strategies.?
Another second-year student told us the class ?teaches students how to gain power and influence people without formal authority? and added that Anderson??teaches applicable skills based on academic research and case studies of great leaders from history. He uses assignments to force students to uncover their own tools of influence and develop strategies for acquiring power in our immediate careers after Haas.?I think his class is popular because it?s academic, directly applicable and introspective all at once.?
