 Cyert taught economics, statistics, and industrial administration for the next 14 years, then was named dean of the Graduate School of Industrial Administration (GSIA).He was a big proponent of inter-disciplinary research and assigned offices to faculty from different departments to the same suite when the new building for GSIA was completed.This proximity, along with the system that rewarded inter-disciplinary research, produced some outstanding and groundbreaking research- further highlighting CMU as an institution for cross-discipline research.
