<description><![CDATA[The idea is the brainchild of Harvard Professor Leslie Perlow, author of the book "Sleeping with your Smartphone."

<title><![CDATA[It Gets Better at HBS]]></title>
<pubDate>Mon, 14 May 2012 04:00:00 -1000</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[<p>BOSTON&mdash;The LGBT students at Harvard Business School have created a moving video in which a number of HBS students recall the experiences they went through when "coming out." The video was produced in coordination with the It Gets Better Project, which was launched to show young lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgenders the good times and successes that lie ahead after they overcome the difficulties they often encounter in their teenage years. In the same spirit, the video serves as reminder to LGBTs in the HBS community that there are many people and resources here to support them. Professor Frances Frei, faculty head of the first year of the MBA program, supported the endeavor by saying, "I found this video inspiring. It is also a wonderful reminder of how our students are working to make such a positive difference in the world."</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If you study the root causes of business disasters and management missteps, you'll often find a predisposition toward endeavors that offer immediate gratification. Many companies' decision-making systems are designed to steer investments to initiatives that offer the most tangible returns, so companies often favor these and short-change investments in initiatives that are crucial to their long-term strategies.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When Takashi Hibino took the helm of Japan's second-largest brokerage firm about a year ago, he knew it would be a tough start, with businesses across the country reeling from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.

<description><![CDATA[Another prominent critic of Google, Ben Edelman, an assistant professor at Harvard Business School, said that it's Google's practice to "enter a new sector, create an information aggregation platform and use their power over algorithmic search to direct users to their platform, even though Google is typically late to these new sectors."]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In the wake of deep recession, cities all over America are finding ways to re-establish their identities or to create new ones. Charlotte is on its way to becoming an energy hub but how close are we to getting there and what do we have to do to compete as an &lsquo;energy cluster&rsquo; in the global marketplace? The term &lsquo;energy cluster&rsquo; is one used by two Harvard Professors as part of a study of U.S. competitiveness. They are in Charlotte this week to release a report on Charlotte as an energy cluster and they'll explain what that means.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In exchange for perks like free trips, access to important people and sometimes financial compensation, bloggers are encouraged or even contractually bound to write about a company, says Thales Teixeira, an assistant professor of marketing at Harvard Business School who has studied the trend. Some bloggers, he notes, get paid as much as $20,000 for the work, which by McDonald's ad-campaign standards isn't much money. ]]></description>
