The Stockholm School of Economics – your alma mater – is unique. Founded on private initiative in 1909 as the first academic institution of its kind in Sweden, the School has retained its position as leading provider of qualified training of managers and specialists for corporations, organizations and the government, in parallel with the pursuit of often groundbreaking achievements within a wide array of research areas. The official SSE Book is published as part of the Centennial celebrations.

At last, the complete history of SSE is commemorated in a comprehensive documentary describing the amazing journey from the humble origins in rented office space at Brunkebergstorg up until today’s diverse international operations.

The rewarding partnership with the world of business remains a core theme throughout the book, as does SSE’s close and fruitful cooperation with the Swedish and international research environment. In addition, the book features portraits of colorful professors and other personae that have each left their indelible mark on the School. Student life is also covered, as well as Stockholm’s development into a dynamic city of academia and home to prosperous enterprise.

With 224 pages and a coffee-table format with dust jacket, richly illustrated in color and monochrome, the Centennial Book also includes a complete index of featured individuals.
