For example, Shawn Cole, a professor at Harvard Business School, finds that Indian state-owned banks increase their lending to the politically important but relatively poor constituency of farmers by about 5 to 10 percentage points in election years.51 The effect is most pronounced in districts with close elections. The consequences of the lending are greater loan defaults and no measurable increase in agricultural output, which suggest that it really serves as a costly form of income redistribution. ~ Raghuram G. Rajan
Harvard Business School quotes by Raghuram G. Rajan
Let me tell you, very frankly, when I went to the Harvard Business School I was more or less a committed socialist. ~ P. Chidambaram
Harvard Business School quotes by P. Chidambaram
Entrepreneur, design thinking is the ability to create, portray and deliver tomorrow's distinction, today. ~ ~ Onyi Anyado
Harvard Business School quotes by Onyi Anyado
Sometimes i feel that i am unlucky due to couldn't enroll in the Harvard Business School but at least by this encouragement that i enrolled in MBA in Human resource management program whereas i grown as a leader and build the team in the field of HRM through motivation. ~ Avinash Advani
Harvard Business School quotes by Avinash Advani
Articulate each meeting's purpose (Making an announcement? Delivering a report?). Terminate the meeting once the purpose is accomplished. Follow up with short communications summarizing the discussion, spelling out new work assignments and deadlines for completing them. General Motors CEO Alfred Sloan's legendary mastery of meeting follow-up helped secure GM's industry dominance in the mid-twentieth century. ~ Harvard Business School Press
Harvard Business School quotes by Harvard Business School Press
When husbands work fifty or more hours per week, wives with children are 44 percent more likely to quit their jobs than wives with children whose husbands work less.11 Many of these mothers are those with the highest levels of education. A 2007 survey of Harvard Business School alumni found that while men's rates of full-time employment never fell below 91 percent, only 81 percent of women who graduated in the early 2000s and 49 percent of women who graduated in the early 1990s were working full-time.12 ~ Sheryl Sandberg
Harvard Business School quotes by Sheryl Sandberg
In 15 years from now half of US universities may be in bankruptcy ... in the end I'm excited to see that happen. So pray for Harvard Business School if you wouldn't mind. ~ Clayton Christensen
Harvard Business School quotes by Clayton Christensen
In the United States we have the great Harvard Business School, but America is the country with the greatest debt in the world. ~ Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Harvard Business School quotes by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Great leaders rise out of adversity. ~ Harvard Business School Press
Harvard Business School quotes by Harvard Business School Press
The time I have already spent at Harvard has been a stimulating experience, and I look forward to developing my relationship and activities with the students, faculty and friends of the Harvard Business School community. ~ Alex Ferguson
Harvard Business School quotes by Alex Ferguson
The lessons I learned from my mother and her friends have guided me through death, birth, loss, love, failure, and achievement, on to a Fulbright scholarship and Harvard Business School. They taught me to believe that anything was possible. They have proven to be the strongest family values I could ever have imagined. ~ Gayle Tzemach Lemmon
Harvard Business School quotes by Gayle Tzemach Lemmon
I've lectured at the Harvard Business School several times. ~ Christie Hefner
Harvard Business School quotes by Christie Hefner
You might just learn something when you're in a mood to learn something. The only thing I ever learned was that some people are lucky and other people aren't and not even a graduate of the Harvard Business School can say why. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Harvard Business School quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
We tend to think that innovation comes from bureaucratic funding, through planning, or by putting people through a Harvard Business School class by one Highly Decorated Professor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (who never innovated anything) or hiring a consultant (who never innovated anything). This is a fallacy - note for now the disproportionate contribution of uneducated technicians and entrepreneurs to various technological leaps, from the Industrial Revolution to the emergence of Silicon Valley, and you will see what I mean. ~ Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Harvard Business School quotes by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
What the railroads lack is not opportunity but some of the managerial imaginativeness and audacity that made them great. ~ Harvard Business School Press
Harvard Business School quotes by Harvard Business School Press
She built a close-knit team of talented people who bonded with one another and felt passion for the mission. Soon her group became one of the parent bank's most desirable places to work. She developed strong relationships with senior executives who helped her deal with tensions in the middle, and she communicated well and often about why her unit needed to be different. Her creativity, vision, teamwork, and persistence helped this group succeed and become a national role model, while other banks' efforts faltered. ~ Harvard Business School Press
Harvard Business School quotes by Harvard Business School Press
Her father was one of those tall, angular, self-embalming types. All balls and liver. His kind predated the notion of alcoholism. Groton, Princeton, Harvard Business School. His neatly clipped silver hair and tailored suits and unmitigating stare of eyes and trim old body said it all over in a simple, clear language: Chief Executive Officer. Do not fuck with this man. ~ Chang-rae Lee
Harvard Business School quotes by Chang-rae Lee
It horrifies me that ethics is only an optional extra at Harvard Business School. ~ John Harvey-Jones
Harvard Business School quotes by John Harvey-Jones
Entrepreneur, with the growth of social media and the global market now local, now is the time to grow your leadership brand. ~ Onyi Anyado
Harvard Business School quotes by Onyi Anyado
Back in 1995, Munger had given a talk at Harvard Business School called "The Psychology of Human Misjudgment." If you wanted to predict how people would behave, Munger said, you only had to look at their incentives. FedEx couldn't get its night shift to finish on time; they tried everything to speed it up but nothing worked - until they stopped paying night shift workers by the hour and started to pay them by the shift. Xerox created a new, better machine only to have it sell less well than the inferior older ones - until they figured out the salesmen got a bigger commission for selling the older one. "Well, you can say, 'Everybody knows that,'" said Munger. "I think I've been in the top five percent of my age cohort all my life in understanding the power of incentives, and all my life I've underestimated it. And never a year passes but I get some surprise that pushes my limit a little farther." Munger's ~ Michael Lewis
Harvard Business School quotes by Michael Lewis
Managers who aspire to be ethical must challenge the assumption that they're always unbiased and acknowledge that vigilance, even more than good intention, is a defining characteristic of an ethical manager. ~ Harvard Business School Press
Harvard Business School quotes by Harvard Business School Press
I wrote my first piece about the disruption of the Harvard Business School in 1999. Because you could see this coming. I haven't yet done the one about the disruption of the Stanford Business School. ~ Clayton M Christensen
Harvard Business School quotes by Clayton M Christensen
Sent him to the Harvard Business School to study the minds of the movers and shakers who were screwing up our economy for their own immediate benefit, taking money earmarked for research and development and new machinery and so on, and putting it into monumental retirement plans and year-end bonuses for themselves. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Harvard Business School quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
Seeing the way leadership works in the real world is a tad more enlightening than reading case studies as an MBA student at Harvard Business School. ~ Jeetendr Sehdev
Harvard Business School quotes by Jeetendr Sehdev
Because I didn't go to drama school, I didn't start in the business with any toolbox apart from enthusiasm and instinct. I'd throw everything at a part and sometimes realise that I had hit my limits. ~ Hattie Morahan
Harvard Business School quotes by Hattie Morahan
If Thomas Edison had gone to business school, we would all be reading by larger candles. ~ Mark McCormack
Harvard Business School quotes by Mark McCormack
The critical task for management in each revolutionary period is to find a new set of organizational practices that will become the basis for managing the next period of evolutionary growth. Interestingly enough, those new practices eventually sow the seeds of their own decay and lead to another period of revolution. Managers, therefore, experience the irony of seeing a major solution in one period become a major problem in a later period. ~ Larry Greiner
Harvard Business School quotes by Larry Greiner
I never learned management. I never went to business school. I'm an artist. I happened to have really clear ideas of what I thought my business should be. ~ Bobbi Brown
Harvard Business School quotes by Bobbi Brown
There may be little room for the display of this supreme qualification in the retail book business, but there is room for some. Be enterprising. Get good people about you. Make your shop windows and your shops attractive. The fact that so many young men and women enter the teaching profession shows that there are still some people willing to scrape along on comparatively little money for the pleasure of following an occupation in which they delight. It is as true to-day as it was in Chaucer's time that there is a class of men who "gladly learn and gladly teach," and our college trustees and overseers and rich alumni take advantage of this and expect them to live on wages which an expert chauffeur would regard as insufficient. Any bookshop worthy of survival can offer inducements at least as great as the average school or college. Under pleasant conditions you will meet pleasant people, for the most part, whom you can teach and form whom you may learn something. ~ A. Edward Newton
Harvard Business School quotes by A. Edward Newton
In order to produce generalist courses, business school professors have been forced to invent subjects called strategy, called organizational behavior and so on. ~ Matthew Stewart
Harvard Business School quotes by Matthew Stewart
Cove is essentially a collaboration, coordination and communication tool for the administration of organizations and communities, from the Stanford Graduate School of Business Entrepreneurship Club to church groups and schools. ~ Ruchi Sanghvi
Harvard Business School quotes by Ruchi Sanghvi
The main trouble with Hollywood is that the guys you have to pitch to, the guys who run the studios, are all business school grads. ~ Terry Zwigoff
Harvard Business School quotes by Terry Zwigoff
The world and all its wisdom is but a booby, blundering school-boy that needs management and could be managed, if men and women would be human beings instead of just business men, or plumbers, or army officers, or commuters, or educators, or authors, or clubwomen, or traveling salesmen, or Socialists, or Republicans, or Salvation Army leaders, or wearers of cloths. ~ Sinclair Lewis
Harvard Business School quotes by Sinclair Lewis
The way most people approach business - and the way they mostly teach in business school - involves the analytical mind. It divides it up and looks at parts in isolation. ~ John Mackey
Harvard Business School quotes by John Mackey
As a young analyst just out of Stanford business school in the 1960s, I got to really understand what growth was about. Back then, you had to ask a customer to pay some money. That was the most important thing in getting a company off the ground. ~ Charles Schwab
Harvard Business School quotes by Charles Schwab
It's just not possible to be a real partner if you aren't materially participating. I believe even the busiest business owners must drive a carpool, pack a lunch, help with homework, make a breakfast or dinner, and consistently attend school events. ~ Scott Weiss
Harvard Business School quotes by Scott Weiss
The whole experience reminded me of my own 'old lady' phase that I went through in high school while I was reading Somerset Maugham ... The embroidered sweaters, the costume jewelry ... I remember genuinely WANTING to be old then, to act as if the business of my life was already all but over, and that I was preternaturally wise because of it ...
God, the stupid things you'll do to try and meet boys ... ~ Chris Ware
Harvard Business School quotes by Chris Ware
The idea that it was the state's business to know what was good for people - while we accept it uncomplainingly in school curriculums and hospital practices - smacked of eugenics and perhaps euthanasia. ~ Tony Judt
Harvard Business School quotes by Tony Judt
To finish first you have to first finish. Don't get in a position where you go back to go. What's interesting is that some guy whose grandfather was a lawyer and a judge-hurriedly going to Harvard Law with a wave of veterans-I was willing to go into so many different businesses. I was constantly going right into the other fellow's business and doing better than the other fellow did. The reason it was possible? Self-education- developing mental discipline, big ideas that really work. ~ Charlie Munger
Harvard Business School quotes by Charlie Munger
We must begin to train lawyers the minute they walk into law school to tell the truth. They must immediately begin to learn the business of representing people. They must be assigned cases the first day. ~ Gerry Spence
Harvard Business School quotes by Gerry Spence
I find, in merchandising and design and creative, a business school degree isn't particularly helpful. ~ Mickey Drexler
Harvard Business School quotes by Mickey Drexler
Business schools reward complex behavior but it's the simple behavior that makes you successful in life ~ John C. Maxwell
Harvard Business School quotes by John C. Maxwell
When you're a child, no matter if you're doing show business or sports or school or anything, you just want to make the adults happy. ~ Anna Chlumsky
Harvard Business School quotes by Anna Chlumsky
Organizations can't change their culture unless individual employees change their behavior - and changing behavior is hard. ~ Keith Ferrazzi
Harvard Business School quotes by Keith Ferrazzi
You've got to have a good public education system so small-business owners, when they locate to an area, are confident their kids are getting the best education possible. I feel strongly about local control in school districts. ~ Jon Tester
Harvard Business School quotes by Jon Tester
Nothing drew me to the film business. I was propelled by the fear and anxiety of Vietnam. I had been drafted into the Marines. My brother was already serving in Vietnam. I bought, if you will, a stay of execution - both literally and figuratively - and went on to graduate school of business from the law school that I was attending. ~ Peter Guber
Harvard Business School quotes by Peter Guber
Many governments employ torture but this was the first time that the element of Saturnalia and pornography in the process had been made so clear to me. If you care to imagine what any inadequate or cruel man might do, given unlimited power over a woman, then anything that you can bring yourself to suspect was what became routine in ESMA, the Navy Mechanics School that became the headquarters of the business. I talked to Dr. Emilio Mignone, a distinguished physician whose daughter Monica had disappeared into the precincts of that hellish place. What do you find to say to a doctor and a humanitarian who has been gutted by the image of a starving rat being introduced to his daughter's genitalia? Like hell itself the school was endorsed and blessed by priests, in case any stray consciences needed to be stilled. ~ Christopher Hitchens
Harvard Business School quotes by Christopher Hitchens
A popular Harvard business professor urged his students to read the obituaries in the New York Times before they read anything else, in order to learn from the lives of great men. ~ Georges F. Doriot
Harvard Business School quotes by Georges F. Doriot
In student government in high school, I learned how to deal with people, and in college I studied Eastern philosophy. I'm also an avid team-sports fan. I think I just blended them all together and came out with a business management philosophy that combines the Eastern ethic with the Western sport concept, basically. ~ Michael Ovitz
Harvard Business School quotes by Michael Ovitz
I found the bank robbery getaway car but was scolded over the FBI radio. Why?"

~ From Walking the Corporate Beat: Police School for Business People. ~ Michael Tabman
Harvard Business School quotes by Michael Tabman
The first article carrying Vonnegut's byline, 'This Business of Whistle Purchasing,' a lighthearted criticism of a school fund-raiser, was submitted at the urging of his sophomore English teacher. ~ Charles J. Shields
Harvard Business School quotes by Charles J. Shields
I was quite convinced that I didn't want to be a lawyer. But I felt that law school would be a useful way to understand public policy and to understand business in this environment. ~ Kevin Warsh
Harvard Business School quotes by Kevin Warsh
When I doing dinner theater in high school, I was talking to a woman who had been in the business for a while and I said I want to act, that's all I want to do with my life and she said if you're serious then you need to hone every discipline you can. ~ Blair Underwood
Harvard Business School quotes by Blair Underwood
And according to Duncan and the Business Roundtable handlers, we need to pay children for test scores, which ends up as great vehicle for fighting crime and ending poverty: not only will children be lured to school by testing rewards rather than selling dope on the corner, but they will be able to help pay the utility bills in the crumbling apartment where their parents have no jobs. So you see this is an anti-poverty plan! ~ Jim Horn
Harvard Business School quotes by Jim Horn
Most of my writing friends are working in academia. Most of my business school friends are always talking about bringing companies public, and money, and making money, and lots and lots of money. It's just a different environment. ~ Victoria Chang
Harvard Business School quotes by Victoria Chang
My favorite magazine is the 'Harvard Business Review.' If someone sat across from me in a restaurant and didn't know me, that might surprise them. ~ Sophia Amoruso
Harvard Business School quotes by Sophia Amoruso
You build your world around someone, and then what happens when he disappears? Where do you go- into pieces, into atoms, into the arms of another man? You go shopping, you cook dinner, you work odd hours, you make love to someone else on June nights. But you're not really there, you're someplace else where there is blue sky and a road you don't recognize. If you squint your eyes, you think you see him, in the shadows, beyond the trees. You always imagine that you see him, but he's never there. It's only his spirit, that's what's there beneath the bed when you kiss your husband, there when you send your daughter off to school. It's in your coffee cup, your bathwater, your tears. Unfinished business always comes back to haunt you, and a man who swears he'll love you forever isn't finished with you until he's done. ~ Alice Hoffman
Harvard Business School quotes by Alice Hoffman
I was a writer for 'New York' magazine. I had been to business school, but what did I know? Still, everybody from the receptionists on up to the editor would ask me what they should do with their money. ~ Andrew Tobias
