Knowledge@Wharton is the online business research and analysis journal of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. The site offers business insights, information, and research from a variety of sources. Content includes analysis of current business trends, interviews with industry leaders and Wharton faculty, articles based on the most recent business research, book reviews, and seminar reports.

History

[edit]

Launched in May 1999, Knowledge@Wharton began as a portal for business-related research papers written by Wharton faculty members. Robert Mittelstaedt, Wharton's Vice Dean for External Affairs, described the undertaking as a "mission to disseminate knowledge." "It's difficult to get all the knowledge produced here out in a form that's easily accessible. This will provide greater value to a wider community."[1]

Knowledge@Wharton Network

[edit]

The Knowledge@Wharton network, which has a global business audience of more than 1.7 million subscribers across 195 countries[2], consists of four regional editions. Launched in January 2003, Universia Knowledge@Wharton is published every two weeks in Spanish and Portuguese. China Knowledge@Wharton, which began publication in March 2005, is updated every other week with articles in simplified and traditional Chinese. India Knowledge@Wharton, also published bi-weekly, was launched in November 2006. In March 2010, Arabic Knowledge@Wharton was launched, publishing in Arabic bi-weekly.

In addition, the Knowledge@Wharton Network includes three academic partners - Knowledge@Emory, Knowledge@WPCarey and Knowledge@SMU - published by Emory University's Goizueta Business School, Arizona State University's W.P. Carey School of Business, and Singapore Management University respectively.

Knowledge@Wharton High School (KWHS), a high school version of the online journal, was launched in February 2009[3].
