The Project on Israel and the Regional Economy, housed at Harvard Business School, is a new initiative that serves as a central hub for faculty-led, cross-disciplinary research on key economic and social topics for Israel and the broader Middle East–North Africa (MENA) region. The project brings together University faculty with affiliated scholars from Israel and around the world to tackle issues ranging from entrepreneurship and innovation to workforce development, health policy, banking and finance, and more. We talked with the program’s faculty chairs, Professors Paul Gompers and Raffaella Sadun, about the inspiration behind the project, takeaways from their first convening, and their hope for its future.

When Kim B. Clark joined the Harvard Business School faculty in 1978, he couldn’t have imagined that nearly two decades later he would lead the institution through one of its most transformative periods. During his tenure as Dean from 1995 to 2005, Clark created the HBS Community Values, ushered in a new era of technology, expanded the School’s focus on entrepreneurship and globalization, and defined its mission to educate leaders who make a difference in the world. In this conversation, Clark reflects on the experiences that shaped his views on leadership, learning, and service—from his early influences and academic path to his faith, family, and enduring belief in the power of shared values.
