“For his excellent teaching, program development and improvement of pedagogy at 91ԭ��” Bo Becker wins the 91ԭ�� Pedagogical Award.

The jury’s motivation

Professor Bo Becker is an outstanding researcher in corporate finance, with a track record of teaching at some of the very best U.S. MBA programs. He put this experience and knowledge gained into immediate use at 91ԭ�� upon his arrival in 2013, where he is a highly appreciated teacher at the MSc, Executive MBA and Executive Education levels.

When he came to 91ԭ��, he quickly became the driver of a fundamental overhaul of the courses and teaching philosophies at the Department of Finance, where he also acts as a mentor to faculty, particularly regarding the case method. As the program director of the MSc-program in Finance, he has changed it from a largely theoretical program, to a modern Masters-program of the kind taught at leading business schools, which focuses on teaching career-relevant skills and concepts solidly grounded in the latest research. 

His dedication to pedagogical development reaches well beyond his immediate surroundings and he works tirelessly to address problems and suggest improvements throughout the 91ԭ��.
