Thanks from the class of KR04, to our sponsors, who committed to, funded and supported our studies throughout the two year course.

Thanks also to the administration team of the Kellogg-Recanati Executive MBA program, and specifically to Ilanit Hayot, who for 2 years, looked after us, beyond the call of duty.

Thanks to the KR04 students who volunteered their time to summarize individual courses, and to the Professors of those courses, who together, effectively acted as an Advisory Committee to this publication, by magically finding time in their busy schedules to carefully and comprehensively review the course summaries, and provide feedback, in order to ensure the quality of this Kellogg-Recanati Handbook is of the highest possible.

Thanks to Avi Shai and Adi Golbert, who together supplied most of the photographs appearing in the photo gallery.

Thanks to Erica Kantor, Assistant Dean at Kellogg, for having embraced this project so warmly, and for having been instrumental in its successful announcement to alumni and graduates of the Executive Master's Program at Kellogg.

Finally, on a personal note, thanks to my wife, Dorit, for encouraging me to make this Kellogg-Recanati Handbook happen, and for supporting me throughout the last 6 months of what is rapidly becoming a 3 year MBA, instead of the scheduled 2 years!
