Senior, Multidisciplinary Team
For every program, a faculty team—typically drawn from the most
senior ranks of the largest business school faculty in world—is
assembled to bring their subject matter expertise to bear on the
design and development of materials and course of study. To best
educate, enlighten, and energize executives, the teaching team also
represents the most effective mix of professors from the School's
various teaching Units—Accounting and Control; Business, Government
and the International Economy; Entrepreneurial Management; Finance;
General Management; Marketing; Negotiation, Organizations, and
Markets; Organizational Behavior; Strategy; and Technology and
Operations Management.
Thought Leaders
Experts in their academic fields, HBS faculty members are widely
recognized for their pioneering research, which is firmly grounded
in the knowledge of business processes—within established firms,
entrepreneurial companies, and nonprofit organizations. Their
leading-edge findings not only have made significant contributions
to the understanding of leadership, strategy, and decision making,
but also have led to the creation of new fields.
HBS faculty also are award-winning authors, reporting their fresh
observations, new business models, and innovative approaches in a
variety of published works. In fact, each academic year, faculty
members draw on their breakthrough thinking to write or collaborate
on approximately 35 books, 600 case studies, 300 academic papers,
and a broad array of articles for both professional and general
business publications.
The result is a reciprocal learning experience for executives and

ability, while faculty members expand their knowledge-creation
efforts as a result of the company issues and insights revealed
throughout the course of the program.
