| The Stockholm School of Economics is unique. Founded on private initiative in 1909 as the first
academic institution of its kind in Sweden, the School has retained
its position as leading provider of qualified training of managers
and specialists for corporations, organizations and the government,
in parallel with the pursuit of often groundbreaking achievements
within a wide array of research areas.
The official SSE Book is published as part of the Centennial
celebrations. At last, the complete history of SSE is commemorated
in a comprehensive documentary describing the amazing journey from
the humble origins in rented office space at Brunkebergstorg up
until today’s diverse international operations.
The rewarding partnership with the world of business remains a
core theme throughout the book, as does SSE’s close and fruitful
cooperation with the Swedish and international research environment.
In addition, the book features portraits of colorful professors and
other personae that have each left their indelible mark on the
School. Student life is also covered, as well as Stockholm’s
development into a dynamic city of academia and home to prosperous
enterprise.
With 224 pages and a coffee-table format with
dust jacket, richly illustrated in color and monochrome,
the Centennial Book also includes a
complete index of featured individuals. The book will be published
in fall 2009. |
