Ahead of the Curve: Two Years at Harvard Business School

Two years in the cauldron of capitalism-"horrifying and very funny" (The Wall Street Journal) In this candid and entertaining insider's look at the most influential school in global business, Philip Delves Broughton draws on his crack reporting skills to describe his madcap years at Harvard Business School. Ahead of the Curve recounts the most edifying and surprising lessons learned in the quest for an MBA, from the ingenious chicanery of leveraging and the unlikely pleasures of accounting, to the antics of the "booze luge" and other, less savory trappings of student culture. Published during the one hundredth anniversary of Harvard Business School, this is the unflinching truth about life in the trenches of an iconic American institution.Author: Philip Delves BroughtonPublisher: Penguin BooksPublished: 06/01/2009Pages: 304Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.63lbsSize: 8.38h x 5.50w x 0.66dISBN: 9780143115434About the AuthorPhilip Delves Broughton was born in Bangladesh and grew up in Eng
