Yale SOM’s centers are more than just academic centers — they act as focal points for faculty, students, businesspeople, and policy makers interested in particular subject areas. They are designed to ensure that the production of knowledge adheres to the highest standards of rigor and at the same time is driven by the imperative of practical and societal impact. Through a variety of activities, they create meaningful connections between academic endeavor and real-world application.

The Millstein Center for Corporate Governance and Performance sponsors research and discussions to explore how corporate governance can better enable the corporation to be competitive in its markets and to enhance society.

Center for Customer Insights

The Center for Customer Insights facilitates interaction between marketing executives and academic scholars from many disciplines who share an underlying interest in understanding customer behavior and marketplace dynamics.

International Center for Finance

The International Center for Finance provides active support for research in financial economics by its fellows — leading scholars within and outside of Yale SOM — and disseminates their work to the world's academic and professional communities.

Program on Social Enterprise

Center for Business and the Environment
