In the century since its founding, Harvard Business. School has become the single most influential institution in. global business. Twenty percent of the CEOs of Fortune 500. companies are HBS graduates, as are many of our savviest. entrepreneurs (e.g., Michael Bloomberg) and canniest felons. (e.g., Jeffrey Skilling). The top investment banks and brokerage. houses routinely send their brightest young stars to HBS to. groom them for future power. To these people and many others,. a Harvard MBA is a golden ticket to the Olympian heights of. American business. In 2004, Philip Delves Broughton abandoned a post. as Paris bureau chief of the London Daily Telegraph to join nine. hundred other would-be tycoons on HBS’s plush campus. Over. the next two years, he and his classmates would be inundated. with the best—and the rest—of American business culture that. HBS epitomizes. The core of the school’s curriculum is the. “case”—an analysis of a real business situation from which the. students must, with a professor’s guidance, tease lessons. Delves. Broughton studied more than five hundred cases and recounts. the most revelatory ones here. He also learns the surprising. pleasures of accounting, the allure of “beta,” the ingenious chicanery. of leveraging, and innumerable other hidden workings. of the business world, all of which he limns with a wry clarity. reminiscent of Liar’s Poker.

With acute and often. uproarious candor, he assesses the school’s success at teaching. the traits it extols as most important in business—leadership,. decisiveness, ethical behavior, work/life balance. Published during the one hundredth anniversary. of Harvard Business School, Ahead of the Curve offers a richly. detailed more...
