University of Utah David Eccles School of Business The David Eccles School of Business has risen to the forefront of business excellence and each year e The same year that Utah was admitted as the 45th U.S.

state (1896), the University of Utah began formally educating students in the ways of business. Utah is the Beehive State after all, and Utahns are known being industrious and self-reliant. Originally, business students took classes through the University of Utahโ€™s Economics & Sociology Department. But soon it became clear that the study of business deserved a school all its own. The School of Commerce & Finance was founded in 1917, and in that first year, 126 students enrolled. Itโ€™s no surprise that nearly one hundred years later, the number of enrolled students has increased more than 25-fold. Today the David Eccles School of Business has risen to the forefront of business excellence and each year educates nearly 4,500 graduate and undergraduate students in five departments.

The book comes from Jim Sorensen, entrepreneur, CEO, and Chairman of the Sorenson Impact Foundation, alongside Alan Eagle, co-author of How Google Works and Trillion Dollar Coach.
