The William Davidson Institute is a non-profit, independent, research and educational institute dedicated to developing and disseminating expertise on issues affecting firms in transition & emerging market economies. Integrating research, executive education, and practical project-based assistance, the Institute generates knowledge and offers unique educational opportunities to individuals as well as indigenous and Multinational companies operating in transitional economies. It provides a forum for business leaders and public policy makers to discuss issues affecting the environment in which these companies operate.
The objective of the Institute's educational and research programs is to develop knowledge and capability that helps improve the effectiveness of firms and social welfare in these economies. Partnerships are formed with companies, institutions, and individuals around the world who collectively share their knowledge and resources to promote successful economic transition.
The William Davidson Institute was created in 1992 when Guardian Industries Corp., an international manufacturer of glass products, made a major financial commitment to establish an institute at the University of Michigan Business School. Named in honor of Guardian Industries' chairman, president and CEO William Davidson, the Davidson Institute represents an aggressive and visionary response to global economic transformation.
