Roberto, Please don’t go too far away.
Tough day today: Retirement of a great sociologist, friend & mentor who, over 30 years, had as much positive impact on me as any Basically followed Roberto from Stanford to MIT. & later, my main reason for staying was doubt I could reproduce our partnership w anyone else 💔

Another set of SMART skills. Worthwhile.
By age 30, these are the only social skills you need to unlock your full potential...

Great lessons in platform economics! @melatinungsari
Errors in three management areas. 1) Taking a firm private can reduce short-termism (e.g. Porter, 1992). Taking a firm private with a capital structure that compels short-termism, no. It might force you to make panicky cost-cutting choices.

No matter what skills you bring to the table, one variable always creates complexity: people.

Great teaching case!
Great article that touches on basically every theme of Competitive Strategy. I plan to use this case for my final exam next month. A few points that stand out threaded below. wsj.com/articles/netflix-fac… via @WSJ

Great (classic) cases on e-commerce. Many still relevant.

I was an MBA student @StanfordGSB 1998-2000, and it was an exhilarating time to be there. I was in the school's first "E-commerce" course taught by Garth @saloner, and some classmates wrote cases with him on emerging online businesses, many of which are freely available... 1/

Not academia’s proudest moments. @SuriTavneet @melatinungsari @ASBmba
People like to talk about meritocracy in economics but... Networks & connections drive many decisions. The JPE case isn't unique. I know of many such cases in the top 5's. Those with access, an elite few, renegotiate journal decisions. This is elitism at its best not meritocracy

Amazing curriculum and learning experience!!
In early Nov, @MITSloan welcomed the inaugural class of the ASB Master of Central Banking (#MCB) program. The MCB class, consisting of central bankers around the world, engaged in 6 weeks of courses at MIT & a 1-week U.S. immersion trip as part of a 12-month intensive ASB degree.
