Q&A: Duke's Bill Boulding on Fuqua's Future

Duke University named Bill Boulding dean of its Fuqua School of Business earlier this month. It will be his first full term as dean, having served in that capacity since August 2011, when he replaced Blair Sheppard. Boulding, 57, spoke with Bloomberg Businessweek‘s Erin Zlomek about his plans as dean. He talked about the school’s growing presence in emerging markets, the MBA concentrations Fuqua has become known for, and about a certain alum who happens to run a pretty large consumer electronics company in Cupertino, Calif. Below are edited excerpts of the conversation.
