Click on the INDUSTRY in the left margin. When the page comes up, click on the small URL at the top. This will take you to the web site of that particular center.
...
The Sloan Industry Centers are a powerful resource for industry, as well as those whose work is concerned with overarching issues that affect industries. Each Sloan Industry Center dedicated to a single industry is able to examine in-depth the features of that industry and work closely with its leaders. This Sloan Foundation initiative is in the tradition of industrialist Alfred P. Sloan, who established the foundation bearing his name.
The Sloan Industry Centers comprise a unique national network. Housed in many of the nation's most prestigious universities, they listen to the current concerns of industry attentive to the needs of business, and relying on the accumulated experience of business leaders as they address solutions. Together with their partners in industry, Sloan Industry Center researchers work to increase knowledge of the complex influences that shape business enterprises, from new technologies to workforce issues, to the impact of globalization.
