Briefly
Uncertainty has preoccupied me since John McArthur, the late great Harvard Business School Dean, gave me a copy of Frank Knight’s forgotten treatise, circa 1990. It framed much of my writing and teaching on entrepreneurship, finance and innovation ever since.
Uncertainty and Enterprise pulls this all together in a Oxford University Press book available of for sale on Amazon. (I’m hoping that a few friends will spring for the $32.79 hardcover or $17.99 Kindle version , or charge it to their expense accounts.)
The book’s completion coincided with my retirement (Emeritus in Latin) as the Thomas Schmideiny Professor of Business from the Fletcher School at Tufts. That ended 35 years of teaching entrepreneurship at HBS, Chicago, Columbia, and finally, the Fletcher School.
But no rest for the wicked. I will devote “retirement” to:
1) Teaching a course on Transformational Medical Advances at Columbia’s Mailman School of Public Health. I taught this course as a Visiting Prof at HBS in 2021.
2) Helping faculty at other places to teach the course. Please contact me if you institution might be interested. My services — for helping and teaching the course are free! (As are most of the student materials — no expensive text books.
Stay tuned!
