Will I Belong?

“The section—the incredibly diverse group of 94 classmates, hand-picked to create a representative microcosm of the entire +900 class —has been the most wonderful unexpected gift in my HBS journey. To them I am grateful for the many lessons they have taught me, but, most importantly, to them I am grateful for giving me the freedom to be my authentic self.”

James E. Austin is the Eliot I. Snider and Family Professor of Business Administration, Emeritus. Working with colleagues on the case method pedagogy has been a treasured part of his long HBS tenure. He describes the case method as part science, part art, and part craft—sometimes intimidating, but also invigorating and fun.
