\"University<\/a>On October 18, Roger L. Martin announced that he would be stepping down as U. of Toronto\u2019s Rotman School of Management dean. His announcement comes after nearly 15 years of devoted leadership to the Rotman School.<\/p>\n

One of Martin\u2019s greatest accomplishments as dean, according to a Bloomberg Businessweek<\/em> article<\/a>, is that he brought the concept of \u201cdesign thinking\u201d both to Rotman and to the business school world at large.<\/p>\n

Martin was also responsible for significantly increasing the size of the Rotman MBA program. In 1998 when he took his post, the faculty had 30 members for about 130 students. In 2012, those numbers have nearly quadrupled to 120 full-time professors and almost 400 students. In 1998 only 10% of the student body hailed from outside of Canada; today that number is at 48%.<\/p>\n

Martin also expanded the Ph.D. program, created a new global EMBA program,<\/a> and established a new master of finance program.<\/p>\n

Martin will be leaving his post in June of 2013, one year short of completing his third term as dean, a \u201chighly unusual\u201d situation given the university\u2019s strict two-term limit for deans.<\/p>\n

Martin plans on remaining at Rotman to work with researchers on \u201cthe future of democratic capitalism under the umbrella of two think tanks\u2026the Institute for Competitiveness and Prosperity and the Martin Prosperity Institute, named for Martin\u2019s parents.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to an Economist<\/em> article<\/a>, the school has yet to announce a new dean.<\/p>\n
