Sanford C. Bernstein: Growing Pains
By: Boris Groysberg and Anahita Hashemi
Abstract
To remain competitive, Sallie Krawcheck and Lisa Shalett, Sanford C. Bernstein's director of research and associate director of research, respectively, were examining the need to expand the research department's size, not only domestically but also internationally. Were they too late? Could they maintain their strong culture and hiring process--viewed by top management as a main source of competitive advantage--and also increase their research and sales efforts exponentially? How could they move quickly when traditionally it took them years to find the right person for any given role?
