Blog Archive Professor Profiles Baba Shiv, Stanford Graduate School of Business Many MBA applicants feel that they are purchasing a brand when they choose which business school to attend, but the educational experience itself is crucial to your future, and no one will affect your education more than your professors. Each Wednesday, we profile a standout professor as identified by students. Today, we focus on  Baba Shiv from the Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB). “Baba Shiv is a legend,” said a first-year GSB student with whom we spoke. Baba Shiv  (“The Frinky Science of the Mind” and “Neuroscience for Business and Economics”)  received his MBA from the Indian Institute of Management and his PhD from Duke University before joining the Stanford GSB faculty in 2005. Shiv’s research concentration is in the area of neuroeconomics, and he focuses his studies on the systems of the brain that lead individuals to like and want things and on how those systems shape people’s decisions. His work explores self-control and why people make certain choices, even when logic tells them that those choices may not be in their best interest. A February 2008 GSB alumni magazine article describes Shiv as “a favorite uncle who is always interested in your life and eager to talk about new, exciting ideas.” And Dan Ariely, a colleague of Shiv’s and a professor at MIT Sloan, notes in the same article, “Shiv’s mere presence makes everything ar ound him seem better.” For more information about the Stanford GSB and 15 other top-ranked business schools, check out the  mbaMission Insider’s Guides.
