©2019 The William Davidson Institute 11 ABOUT WDI Established at the University of Michigan in 1992, the William Davidson Institute is an independent, non- profit research and educational organization guided by our founding principle that thriving businesses drive economic development and improve social welfare in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). WDI serves both profit-seeking and non-profit firms by conducting research and collaborating with local partners to develop business models that are profitable, and by transferring business insights to decision makers in LMICs. Our consulting work focuses on developing, adapting and applying sound business principles in four interrelated sectors necessary for a thriving economy: professional education, energy, healthcare and finance, in addition to offering performance measurement and improvement services that span these sectors. Our training programs harness the latest innovations in education, providing world-class management training opportunities for the global leaders of today and tomorrow. With a unique blend of field-based experience and academic rigor, WDI works to build stronger economies and healthier societies.
