The Technion – Israel Institute of Technology announced today that the Master of Business Administration program has been named <\/span>The William Davidson Master of Business Administration Program<\/b> in honor of American business leader and philanthropist William \u201cBill\u201d Davidson (1922-2009). The announcement was made by Technion President, Professor Uri Sivan, during a joint meeting between Technion leadership and the Board of Directors of the William Davidson Foundation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“William Davidson’s outstanding achievements and legacy have made him a source of inspiration for those seeking to become entrepreneurs and innovators themselves,” said President Sivan. “I cannot think of a better program to bear his name than the one for the Technion MBA,” he concluded.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
William \u201cBill\u201d Davidson was a quiet man of immense influence in business, professional sports, and the Jewish community. He learned at an early age the importance of helping others through charitable giving and made it a lifelong practice.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An outstanding industrialist and innovator who transformed a small, family company into a leading worldwide glass and plastics manufacturing enterprise, Mr. Davidson was a life-long supporter of the\u00a0 State of Israel and a Technion Guardian, a designation reserved for those who have reached the highest level of support of the institution.\u00a0 As a proponent of experiential business education, Mr. Davidson viewed the Technion\u2019s role in training future leaders as important to securing Israel\u2019s economic future.\u00a0 In a particularly visionary statement in 1997, he said \u201cIsrael has a critical need to equip its technological ‘pioneers’ with the skills necessary to translate successes in the lab into an edge in the global competition for markets, customers, and capital.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honored that the Technion is naming their MBA program after Bill Davidson, who believed that for Israel and its economy to remain strong and dynamic, the country needed bright, entrepreneurial business leaders with an understanding of global trends and markets,\u201d said Darin McKeever, President, and CEO of the William Davidson Foundation<\/a>. \u201cThe Technion’s approach of integrating training in engineering, science, and technology with a strong business education can help to create the kind of leaders Israeli businesses need today,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The Technion MBA program is unique in its focus on entrepreneurship, innovation, and technological management, which are core strengths at Technion.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Technion MBA program<\/a> is unique in its focus on entrepreneurship, innovation, and technological management.\u00a0 The prestigious program enjoys several unique advantages, including the Technion’s rich ecosystem of faculty and applied research centers, as well as a network of international partnerships with leading management institutions.\u00a0 The program offers four specialization tracks, which allow students to deepen their knowledge and expertise in key aspects of technology business and management: big data and business intelligence; innovation and entrepreneurship; the \u201cAzrieli start-up\u201d track, which combines MBA studies with a supportive environment for establishing and developing technology ventures; and a new Life Sciences MBA track, which will allow students from life sciences fields to specialize in managing and leading life science organizations and ventures.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Students in the Technion MBA program have strong academic backgrounds and rich and diverse professional experiences, working in technology and knowledge-driven companies. This diversity and excellence play an important role in the program, which fosters mutual learning and collaboration. Among the MBA program’s alumni are Moovit founders Yaron Evron and Roy Bick and Alcobra founder Dr. Yaron Danieli.<\/span><\/p>\n

The William Davidson Foundation<\/strong> is a private family foundation, established in 2005, that honors its founder and continues his lifelong commitment to philanthropy, advancing for future generations the economic, cultural, and civic vitality of Southeast Michigan, the State of Israel, and the Jewish community.
