Understanding Who and What Shapes Organizational Culture…and Why it Matters

The Creating Emerging Markets (CEM) project based at Harvard Business School's Business History Initiative has been conducting lengthy interviews with top business leaders in emerging markets since 2008. These are hosted on a public website featuring full interview transcripts and associated video clips that are free to download and use for teaching, research, or general interest. At this online conference, speakers will share their experiences using CEM transcripts and video materials for teaching in different institutional contexts in Europe, India, Latin America, and the United States. Each session will include time for discussion and debate, as the conference seeks to lay the foundation for a community of scholars that can exchange ideas on the value of oral history collections for various classroom settings. There will also be a short mid-session break during which CEM video clips will be played. Email cem@hbs.edu for a Zoom link to this conference.
