Two years in the cauldron of capitalism-"horrifying and very funny" (The Wall Street Journal) In this candid and entertaining insider's look at the most influential school in global business, Philip Delves Broughton draws on his crack reporting skills to describe his madcap years at Harvard Business School. Ahead of the Curve recounts the most edifying and surprising lessons learned in the quest for an MBA, from the ingenious chicanery of leveraging and the unlikely pleasures of accounting, to the antics of the "booze luge" and other, less savory trappings of student culture. Published during the one hundredth anniversary of Harvard Business School, this is the unflinching truth about life in the trenches of an iconic American institution.

"With The Firm, financial journalist Duff McDonald pulled back the curtain on consulting giant McKinsey and Company. In The Golden Passport, he reveals the inner works of a singular nexus of power, ambition, and influence: Harvard Business School. Harvard University still occupies a unique place in the public's imagination, but the Harvard Business School eclipsed its parent in terms of influence on modern society long ago. A Harvard degree guarantees respect. But a Harvard MBA near-guarantees entrance into Western capitalism's most powerful realm - the corner office. And because the School shapes the way its powerful graduates think, its influence extends well beyond their own lives. It affects the organizations they command, the economy they dominate, and society itself. Decisions and priorities at HBS touch every single one of us. Most people have a vague knowledge of the power of the HBS network, but few understand the dynamics that have made HBS an indestructible and dominant force for almost a century. Graduates of HBS share more than just an alma mater. They also share a way of thinking about how the world should work, and they have successfully molded the world to that vision - that is what truly binds them together. In addition to teasing out the essence of this exclusive, if not necessarily 'secret, ' club, McDonald explores two important questions: Has the school failed at reaching the goal it set for itself - 'the multiplication of men who will handle their current business problems in socially constructive ways?' Is HBS complicit in the moral failings of Western Capitalism? At a time of soaring economic inequality and growing political unrest, this hard-hitting yet fair portrait offers a much-needed look at an institution that has had a profound influence not just in the world of business but on the shape of our society - and on all our lives."--Dust jacket of work.

"Comment sont formés les futurs patrons américains ? Quel sens moral retirent-ils de leur passage sur les bancs des fameuses business schools où ils acquièrent leur formation ? L’analyse ethnographique de la plus emblématique de ces écoles, celle de Harvard, apporte des réponses. Michel Anteby nous découvre les rouages d’une institution centenaire et dresse des parallèles frappants entre la socialisation des professeurs et celle des élèves. De la préparation des séances de cours à la circulation dans les tunnels du campus, du système d’évaluation et de notation aux suspensions pour motif d’insuffisance académique, ce livre retrace le parcours éducatif, à la fois mythique et singulier, de ceux qui aspirent à devenir patrons. Car ils évoluent dans un contexte qui promeut un silence normatif relatif. Arguant de respecter une multitude de points de vue, l’école se refuse à prôner ouvertement une norme. C’est donc une étrange idéologie de la non-idéologie qui est interrogée ici, et un silence bien plus parlant qu’il n’y paraît. "
