BPP

The Business and Public Policy group at the Haas School of Business hosts Haas' equivalent of a Strategy and Business Economics PhD program. The program is highly respected, with one of the best placement records in the field. For more information please see either the BPP Group Pages or the Haas BPP PhD Program Pages.

Suggestions

This is a TRIAL, so your feedback and interaction is important! What would you like in terms of additional functionality from this wiki? Examples might include:

• A weekly (email) news letter of changes

Editing Wiki Pages

There is a brief guide on how to edit wiki pages, which also provide links to the major help guide. In addition, I intend to install an extension that will provide a WYSIWYG-esque editor, to make your lives easier.

However, editing pages is easy - just click the edit link and type away! Don't worry about making mistakes, we can always revert to a previous version or fix things later. And feel free to edit ANY content in the BPP section in any fashion you wish. If there is something controversial we can always "discuss" it on the talk page (e.g. this page's talk page is here).

Adding Pages to this Section

To add a link saying:

• This page is in the BPP category

Insert the following code at the head of each page in this section:

This also adds the page to the BPP category directory.
