The Broad College of Business is considered one of the elite business schools (based on rankings by Business Week, Financial Times, U.S. News, and Wall Street Journal), and the premier school focused on organizations' global value chains in the world. The Broad School has a collection of world-leading faculty in hospitality management, international marketing, logistics, operations management, organizational behavior, purchasing, and supply chain management, with leading experts in other business areas. The school is named after billionaire Eli Broad, the son of Lithuanian immigrants.
