Featuring Nancy F. Koehn, James E. Robison Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School

As we continue to struggle through the worst economic crisis since The Great Depression, what can leaders learn from history? Join Professor Nancy F. Koehn as she leads a discussion on the defining moments in history that have shaped our society, which are outlined in her new book The Story of American Business: From the Pages of the New York Times. Nancy’s work spans two centuries with a focus on three major themes: the corporation, the changing nature of work, and defining moments in technology; and provides a compelling glimpse of our nation’s humble beginnings to its rise to an economic powerhouse.
