For more than a decade, Professor Michael Luchs has been exploring a concept that few business school faculty address directly: wisdom. Through his research at William & Mary's Raymond A. Mason School of Business, Luchs has developed tools to measure Consumer Wisdom and has examined how individuals make thoughtful, values-driven decisions about how they spend their time, money, and energy.
