In a move which signals a real thirst for change, Harvard has appointed Nitin Nohria, the 48-year old leadership professor, as the next dean of the business school.
Over the past few years Prof Nohria has been one of the most thoughtful business school professors on the subject of how business schools need to change in order to address twenty-first century business issues. Along with fellow professor Rakesh Khurana, he was instrumental in advising Harvard MBA students on the introduction of the MBA Oath in 2009.
